A new video featuring Sanguinius was spotted that showed off his posing better and gives a better 360° look at the model itself. Check out the new Primarch!
Horus Heresy and Blood Angels fans should be proud to hear that their beloved Primarch is finally getting a model. (Keep in mind he’s still dead in 40k). Games Workshop revealed the finished model of Sanguinius in his all painted-up glory! We’ve been seeing rumors about him for a while now, but perhaps none of us expected him to appear before the event.
Horus Heresy’s Sanguinius Revealed
Warlike, elegant and dynamic, Sanguinius is a stunning addition to the Horus Heresy Character Series. This is an instantly eye-catching miniature that’s both a fantastic gaming piece for the Horus Heresy and an incredible collector’s item.
If his pose looked familiar to you, that’s because it’s a pretty close match to the classic painting above. Of course, there are a few minor changes like the hair and the leg posing…But you get the idea!
Sanguinius is a real work of art…but you may be right if you think it looks like something is missing. All other Primarchs come with some kind of dynamic base so it looks like we haven’t seen everything just yet.
Like other Primarchs, Sanguinius will be available as part of the Horus Heresy Character Series. However, unlike his brothers, there will be two versions available. The already impressive Character Series version (above), and a special edition of the model that features an extraordinary display base. Both versions will be available to buy at the Horus Heresy Weekender first.

All of the Primarchs have a larger base that they sit on (like Rogal Dorn above). However, looking at Magnus, he is posed dueling Leman Russ. Could it be that Sanguinius is going to be getting a pose striking down Ka’Bandha- his mortal enemy?
Will that be his “special edition extraordinary display base”? We won’t know until the Horus Heresy Weekender.
Sanguinius in 360 Detail
Coming from Lil Legend Studio on Facebook, we can get a better look of the Sanguinius model in 360 vision.

It looks like the stone that’s holding him up is actually attached to his cape and part of his left foot.
If you wanted to snip him off and make your own dynamic base, you’d just have to be careful around those parts.
February 2nd-3rd marks Horus Heresy Weekender event (which just so happens to have Blood Angels on the ticket cover). We can only expect to see new Blood Angels models and units get revealed along with some burning questions answered!
Has the long wait been worth it for Sanguinius? What do you think his other display base will look like? Will Sanguinius be able to go toe-to-toe with Horus? let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
