The new Forge World Ka’Bandha model is here, check out the size of the miniature, unboxing details, release date, pricing, and more!
Revealed at the 2022 LVO the new Ka’Bandha miniature was touted as the biggest character set from Forge World for the Horus Heresy, and they may be right on the money! Now the Ka’Bandha model is finally here, and there is a FREE rules download for him and we have a look at the kit through an unboxing video as well!
New Horus Heresy Ka’Bandha Miniature
Needless to say, we’re impressed. He is covered in Khornate imagery and icons, and he stands over the broken body of a Blood Angels legionary, and is that a Leviathan dreadnought? That may come in handy later…
Ka’Bandha revels in the slaughter and has added mountains of skulls to Khorne’s domain from the early days of the Horus Heresy to the twilight of the 41st Millennium. He cuts a fearsome figure on the battlefield, resplendent in detailed daemonic armour, and is by far the largest Forge World Character Series model released so far.
On another note, the preview specifically mentioned the possibility of using his model as a proxy Bloodthirster in both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40k. Either way, we’re excited for Ka’Bandha to rampage through any warzone in the future.
Forge World Ka’Bandha Release Date!
Ka’bandha, nemesis of the Blood Angels, is coming to Warhammer: The Horus Heresy at last. Towering above his fallen foes and sweeping scores of screaming soldiers aside with each swing of his infernal weapons, the Daemon General is a terrifying force of nature who drenches entire battlefields with blood in the name of Khorne.
The newest named Daemon for Horus Heresy has arrived and he looks absolutely badass! The release date for the new Ka’bandha model at Forge World is July 22nd, 2022.
Now, let’s check out some more details on the size of the model.
Forge World Ka’Bandha Miniature Size Revealed
From the video and still shots, we had a few “tells” as to just how big the size of the Ka’bandha miniature may be. Remember that Leviathan Dreadnought on the base from before?
Right there in the bottom left is not only a broken legionnaire but also the remains of a Leviathan Dreadnought too!
With a little photoshop magic, we can match the orientation of the Leviathan with a full model shot and scale it appropriately to get an idea of the base size of Ka’Bandha.
Assuming no scaling errors, it appears that Ka’Bandha would come on a 150mm round base, but from the looks of it at the Horus Heresy Open, he’s actually on a bigger base…
Before we get to that keep in mind the Onager comes with a 130 mm base along with The Great Unclean One, and Forge World set the bar at 160mm with the Ares, Astraeus, Ta’unar, and Tiger Shark kits respectively.
Now though, we have more pictures about how it actually compares to other minis!
Actual Size Comparisons
These pics come from Sprues and Brews and really show the size of this monster, plus, pretty much confirms the 170mm oval base, which again, is knight-sized! Technically it is also the largest base from Forge World as well, diameter-wise!
When compared to the marines, well, this model is just huge! This makes the reason for the 170 pretty obvious, well that and the biggest Heresy model has to be on the biggest Forge World base too right?
The wings on this are just insane, and they totally cover the little marines below him.
Turns out he was actually on sale as well at the Horus Heresy Open, and Sprues and Brews did a really cool unboxing of the model, so check it out if you have a minute!
