We’ve seen some pretty in-depth previews on Blackstone Fortress lately and they aren’t over yet! Take a look at the latest characters spotted for the game.
Games Workshop Previewed Janus Draik as the first character and today, we have more. Would you believe one is a Kroot? Check out the latest updates coming to the game so far.
Janus Draik looks to be the “ringleader” of the whole operation for Blackstone Fortress.
Janus Draik Revealed
The Rogue Trader, Janus Draik, looks to be the main character out of the game. He’s been quoted from the preview earlier talking about a <Redacted>. He’s also talking in a video from Games Workshop.
Janus is talking in the video about an area of space full of adventurers that’s called Precipice.
The video is essentially him looking for a group brave (or stupid) enough to follow him into the Blackstone Fortress. It looks like he’s already got a group of adventurers by his side…
Kroot & More Characters Spotted
Take a look at the latest video from GW. There are some interesting characters moving into the Black Fortress with Janus.
Could this be a Rogue Trader or a wealthy Tau on the left? Is that an Electro Priest on the right? He does have roughly the same headpiece that they all wear.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen art for the game with an Eldari Ranger in it. What motive could the Kroot have to want to go into the Blackstone Fortress?
Speaking of Kroot, his model was actually previewed! He looks WAY more decked out than other Kroot that Tau use as meat shields. We don’t know his name or rules just yet, but that model is sweet.
Lastly, there was some kind of hulking dude in armor in the last part of the video. Is this something like Great Value Terminator armor thrown together by some scrap junkies? It would make sense that Janus wouldn’t be able to get his hands on a suit of Terminator armor so this is the next best thing.
Blackstone Fortress is also the hotspot for rumors of new Chaos models coming. More specifically, Abaddon. As more and more previews start to turn up, do you think we will see what’s lurking in the shadows of the Fortress?
What do you think about the characters spotted so far? Could that be poor man’s Terminator armor in the last clip of the video? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
