Forge World is rolling out some serious Horus Heresy releases, check out these Legion-themed dice, Primarch Lion El’Jonson, and Crusade!
Forge World updated their webstore once again with pre-orders focused on the Horus Heresy. It doesn’t matter what Legion you play, you can reserve some faction-themed dice for yourself as well as the new Crusade book or even a Forge World quality Primarch!
Lion El’Jonson Dark Angels Primarch $131
Starting off strong we’ve got the Dark Angels Primarch, Lion El’Jonson. If you haven’t been following along with his previews, you can actually swap the head and wargear on this guy for a helmet and chainsword-type weapon too.
Lion El’Jonson is sculpted in the midst of battle, swinging his sword down to slay the enemies of the Emperor. He can be assembled wielding either the Lion Sword or the Wolf Blade and even comes with a different scabbard for each. You can also decide whether the Primarch of the I Legion wears the legendary Lion Helm to complete his armour, known as the Leonine Panoply, or he goes bare headed. His gaming base features Lion El’Jonson standing atop a flight of rocky steps. This slots into a larger display base which creates a diorama where he is surrounded by defeated (or soon to be defeated) Night Lords.
The Primarch of the Dark Angels is supplied in 44 resin components, including a choice of two heads and a choice of sword and accompanying scabbard. He is supplied with a 40mm gaming base, which slots into an 80mm display base.
Rules for using Lion El’Jonson in games of The Horus Heresy can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Nine – Crusade.
