Talk about epic goatees, yikes! Overall I like the model, it’s got all the hallmarks of Skarbrand, the tattered wings from Khorne’s beatdown, the twin axes, and the slayer pose. Perhaps he will come with several head or weapon options as well, unlike the Celestant prime.

 

Skarbrand the Exile $135

Plastic Kit

Over 6″ tall

Large oval base

 

Here’s the latest on his rumored rules as well.

40k Rules-

Now that puts only one more White Dwarf in between the leaked Tau issue #89 and Skarbrand. Will we see the Tau Stormsurge revealed in next week’s issue #88?
