Check out one of what looks to be one of the most spectacular models that GW has ever produced- a new Daemon Primarch Angron, and Khorne Berzerkers models!
Oh lord, he comin’ and from the looks of it, this new Daemon Primarch Angron is bringing some new Khorne Berzerker friends with him.
We had heard rumblings of new Emperor’s Children models including Fulgrim, and new World Eaters for a while. Now we have what looks to be a brand new Deamon Primarch Angron model, who may be closer than we thought.
Let’s start with the latest for new World Eaters, and take a look at the new Daemon Primarch Angron.
New 40k World Eaters Codex
The World Eaters, are the fourth main single-god devoted legion, following after Thousand Sons for Tzeentch, Death Guard for Nurgle, and Emperors Children for Slaanesh.
Games Workshop has confirmed that they have totally taken them out of the Chaos codex, meaning they will be having a new set of miniatures with new Khorne Berzerkers, and they said a few surprises as well!
Earlier today we saw some major reinforcements that the Heretic Astartes are getting alongside their new codex. But while this heretical tome is certainly fuelled by hate and driven by vengeance, it isn’t quite as angry as you might expect – one Legion is conspicuous in its absence.
This sounds like something good that they will be grabbing their own book. However, the time frame might be something you’re not as excited about. So, what do we have to go off and why do we think they are further off than originally thought? We break down some historical new release references here for the new World Eaters.
As by far one of the most popular legions, it made perfect sense that World Eaters get their own codex. Unlike undivided legions like Word Bearers or Black legion, the God-devoted ones have much more unique models and lore, making them better candidates for dedicated books, and new models.
Back in August of 2021 Chapter Master Valrak, posted a video talking about some rumblings he has heard about a new World Eaters update coming sometime during 9th edition.
Apparently, a source told him that World Eaters are coming in 9th, and supposedly before Emperor’s Children.

This also makes sense with the new rumors we’ve heard, meaning Emperor’s Children would come after World Eaters and Chaos Space Marines before all of them as World Eaters were ommited from the codex book.
Plastic Daemon Primarch Angron Confirmed by GW!
If things weren’t dire enough for the Imperium, what with the opening of the Great Rift and all the other threats from within and without, another Daemon Primarch has rejoined the battle for the fate of the galaxy – he might not look it, but he’s extremely happy to be back.
The Daemon Primarch of Khorne is a gigantic slab of warp-fuelled muscle. He’s been totally reforged into the image of his bloody master, flesh as red as the cascade of gore he leaves in his wake.
He is quite the monstrosity! Judging on the base size and the model itself, this is going to be huge, let’s just hope the rules represent his insane power and ferocity.
Yet take a closer look and you can still see the origins of this Daemon Prince. The Butcher’s Nails are still present, now fused into his very form. Likewise, scraps of his old Nucerian warplate still remain – like the shoulder pad that pays homage to his former Legion, even if the teeth are now somehow more… daemonic, a gaping maw almost literally eating worlds.
When you get close up on the details, they are quite awesome! As we said though, the release for this is probably a far way off as they said we’ll learn more about it in the coming months. Now, let’s look at the leaked picture and what else could be coming with it.
More Khorne Leaks & Imperial Guard
It seems like there will be a slew of new miniatures, including new Khorne Berzerkers, the other half of the Kasrkin kit, and perhaps a new guard tank as well!
The very first comment on the Angron thread (especially now that it’s confirmed) also pretty much hit the nail on the head as well:
About 6 months before Wraith of Magnus dropped, one of the reliable rumor-mongers of the day (by the name of Hastings) reported seeing detailed design work for Magnus, Guilliman, Mortarion, Angron, and Russ. He was met with skepticism about the idea of Primarchs coming back to 40K until Magnus was released. He is now 3/5 and although Hastings has long since disappeared (or switched identities) I still give this rumor a lot of weight.
Berzerkers are 20-ish years old and in need of a revamp. Redoing World Eaters with Angron to lead them would certainly tick a lot of GW‘s boxes.
So from the image above we can see a slew of new units, all of which will probably get revealed in a cheeky manner soon by Games Workshop making fun of the Photato image that they themselves probably leaked in the first place…
Overall the model seems based on the art from the early 2000s and just really well done from the looks of it.
Regardless to us at least, this already looks to be one of the best models Games Workshop has ever produced!
Will the World Eaters codex actually make it into 9th edition 40k? That’s honestly a big question and there are some big clues pointing to the fact it might just fall into 10th edition. While that is a little saddening, it might mean they get a big box release.
