The Daemon Primarch Angron has finally been confirmed by GW after months and months of rumors- check out the kit!
Oh lord, he comin’, and the model looks giant! We saw a leaked potato picture already, but now we have actual images of the big guy. Plus, the leaked pic has what could be new Khorne Berzerkers, so we’ll also speculate on that!
Warhammer Community unveiled the new mini and a timeline, which isn’t what we hoped for. As they said we’ll know more over the coming months, meaning this is still quite a ways off. Let’s first check out the codex announcement, then jump into Angron, and then the leaks!
New 40k World Eaters Codex
The World Eaters, is 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.
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…
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.
