Get ready to bond with your favorite daemon buddy as a new Horus Heresy Argel Tal Chaos Daemon miniature is coming from Forge World!
Warhammer Community just unveiled the newest mini coming to Horus Heresy. The interesting thing about this mini, unlike Maloghurst, they said it will be ordered through Forge World. This could mean two things, first, he probably won’t be in the new rumored new plastic starter set, and there’s still a chance for a plastic starter set in general.
While we’ve been hearing the rumors for a while now about a new edition of Horus Heresy, so let’s just hope they are true and he’ll be part of it! Enough about rumors though, let’s first take a look at the Lastes FW teasers, theImperial Fists Praetors, then jump into the new mini!
New Horus Heresy Imperial Fists Praetors Revealed!
Available in either power armour or Tartaros Terminator armour, these new models look so good that even their staunchest foes, the Iron Warriors, can’t help but be impressed. Whether you’re building an army to defend Terra or a force to take the fight to Horus and his Traitors, these will fit perfectly into your Imperial Fists collection.
If you want to see just how well you can slay some Iron Warriors, these are the minis to do it with!
As with all Legions, the Imperial Fists had numerous Praetors – the mightiest warriors and battle-leaders within the Space Marines ranks. Among the VII Legion, Praetors were second only to Dorn in their skill with a blade, their generalship, and their mastery of the siege. To make them stand out on the battlefield (or when marching up and down along the walls of the Imperial Palace), they wear the finest armour, covered in the Legion’s symbols and insignia.
It does say they will be coming soon but doesn’t give an exact date. With all the delays, coming soon has become a bit of a hard term to understand as of late for pretty much anything in life, unfortunately.
New Horus Heresy Argel Tal Mini Teased!
Argel Tal was one of the Word Bearers Legionaries who went on a pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror. Like anyone who goes abroad on holiday, he refused to shut up about how much the trip had changed him when he got home. Unlike people who spend a week learning to cook Italian food, Argel Tal had been bonded with a daemon while traveling the immaterium. After his expedition, Argel Tal formed an unlikely bromance with the Captain of the World Eaters 8th Company, Khârn, as they fought in the Shadow Crusade together.
Unfortunately, the Word Bearers’ Chaplain Erebus had his own plans for Khârn and got rather jealous of the burgeoning friendship. After much arching of fingers and dastardly scheming, he split Argel Tal and Khârn up before they got to take the road trip to Terra they had been planning.
The mini is quite a stunning one and holding a ripped-in-half marine only makes him scarier! Since this is going to be on pre-order soon from Forge World, we expect him to go fast. Because even if you don’t use him for Horus Heresy, the mini is just awesome!
Let’s just hope he is part of something big for Horus Heresy, but even if he’s not, still would be a fun painting challenge.
Are you excited about the new mini? Do you think a new edition is still on the way soon?
