Several sources from Adepticon have confirmed that the picture below is in fact Mortarion’s scythe and there will indeed be a new model for the Plague Primarch released.
Plus as Games Workshop put it, this weapon is ” big enough to fell a primarch”.

And now the video for all of you that weren’t at the event, here is GW’s big reveal without the juicy details:
Wow!
It’s been a long time since we saw any new miniatures for Plague Marines, or Nurgle-worshipping Chaos Space Marines of any sort, for Warhammer 40,000, but it has certainly been worth it. Clearly not to be outdone by the recent return of their allies/rivals of the Thousand Sons, the unyielding warriors of Barbarus are returning, and they never looked so good.*
Remember how we said this was going to be the best year of Warhammer 40,000 ever?
We weren’t lying.
*Well, we guess, depending on how you look at it, to some people’s eye, they probably looked better before that whole infected-with-warp-borne-plague thing, but from a miniatures perspective, these are phenomenal.
