Comes see the whispers from the Warp today about what may be yet another Greater Daemon plastic kit in the works, this time for Slaanesh!
Magnus is finally here, is the Lord of Change, and Keep of Secrets next in line for the jump to plastics? Well we have had the Skarbrand / Bloodthirster model for over a year now, and yes there has been tons of talk about the LoC.
Now that Magnus has been revealed it looks like the rumor birds are chirping again!
BoLS is reporting that the Keeper of Secrets may be in the works now as well.
Industry professionals say:
- The biggest challenge has been to balance the new design to be uniquely Slaaneshi while not being too overtly adult or sexual in nature.
- Model size is 6-7″ in height
- Look for the standard digitigrade legs with the “backwards” joints to remain.
- 4 arms, large crustacean claws below, hands up top.
- Multiple weapon options for the upper hands: blades, whips, etc…
- Corset style torso armor, covering breasts.
- Heavily decorated skin pierced with rings and jewelry, and scarification emblems.
- Head is highly elongated with a humanlike face, yet sporting deamonic elements including multiple sets of horns, several tongue options, and sets of inhuman teeth.
Wow so from those rumors GW may be trying to separate the overtly sexual god of rock n roll from the 80’s into something more amorphous for the 2010’s and beyond. Good show on them if this comes to pass because more models is always a good thing!
Remember this blast from the past? I wonder what design elements will repeat themselves and which will not?
Well since Magnus is finally here, will the Lord of Change, and Keep of Secrets next in line for the jump to plastics?
