Perhaps the strangest, most macabre figure from the Horus Heresy, Konrad Curze may just be the the posterchild for being “mistunderstood”.
I mean how would you deal with knowing exactly how and why you life will end, only to exist trying to fill in the blanks for every minute in between?
“Konrad Curze, be at peace, for I have arrived and intend to take you home.”
“That is not my name, Father. I am Night Haunter, and I know full well what you intend for me.”
Background aside, this model seems to be one of the most detailed and energetic of the Character series of Primarchs Forge World has put out yet.
Perched atop a shattered ruin, caped in flayed flesh and framed by the eviscerated remains of Guardsmen this model may just be the perfect snapshot of the Heresy.
If you’re a 30k player, or even just a 40k aficionado – this model should be on your “must haves” list.
Check out an extreme close up of Konrad below in my video unboxing and review!
