Now that we’re winding down to the end of the year, it’s a great time to look back at all the GW exclusive models that were released in 2019.
2019 has been a busy year for GW and in the realm of exclusive minis, they didn’t disappoint. Take a closer look at some of the top exclusive event minis we’ve seen released.
Primaris Lieutenant Amulius
Lieutenant Amulius is Easy-to-build and was seen (finally) at 2019’s Adepticon as a surprise exclusive mini.
While he’s a normal Primaris Lieutenant on the tabletop, his model is definitely sweet and puts off a generic codex-Astartes vibe.
Primaris Sergeant Jovan
This guy was another store exclusive for 40k in 2019. And while he may be a Primaris, at least he’s not a Lieutenant. He’s got one of the more dynamic posing/bases that we’ve seen in terms of Primaris characters so far. At the end of the day, he’ll make a fantastic (insert T4 HQ here) for any Chapter.
Sister of Battle: Amalia Novena
Amalia was first previewed at last years’ Adepticon and we really didn’t know anything besides the model’s pose. It turns out that she was the store exclusive mini on June 29th’s Warhammer Day celebration. The best part is that she’s fully plastic and isn’t Easy-to-Build!
Sisters Cannoness
Looking at the new Canoness model, she was passed out to everyone that made it to the previews at 2019’s NOVA event.
Note that while she was handed out earlier and considered (exclusive), she’ll also be coming inside the Sisters of Battle Army Set.
Warhammer Day Unpainted Funko POP! Marine
This guy made a debut at Warhammer Day in 2019 after the earlier releases were of faction-prepainted Space Marines. (Ultramarine, Space Wolf, Dark Angel, and Blood Angel).
Leena Stormspire
This named Stormcast was a hero that was only available for store openings, refurbishments or relocations. Rocking a shield and sword, she opted for a more tanky-loadout over her battle-brother, Berek.
Berek the Indomitable
Berek the indomitable is a Stormcast that’s all about damage. With a big two-handed hammer, he doesn’t need to try and block anything.
Like Leena, he’s posed standing over the top of a Greenskin he’s just slaughtered. It looks like he literally batted the torso off on an Orruk and ran over to go stand on it for the classic “Captain Morgan hero pose”. Really though, we can’t blame him.
Larissa Shadowstalker
Larissa Shadowstalker is a Knight-Questor armed with a stormstrike glaive. She’s on foot and doesn’t have a shield so, in terms of in-game rules, she’s not the most high-speed low-drag option. However, she’s definitely got an awesome pose and looks like she’s been around the mortal realms a time or two!
Dacian Anvil
Dacian Anvil is the latest Stormcast special character to be previewed. He’s actually not available yet, however was just announced to hit the scene in Adepticon 2020 as an exclusive model!
Speaking of Adepticon 2020, this guy will be there as well, and may just be the first Astartes model that’s not Primaris that GW has released since the start of 8th edition!
While the models spotted earlier in the year have been exciting, they’ve only all been Primaris or Stormcast. Would you like to see another faction in 40k/AoS get some love? What even exclusive do you like the most?
