Welcome to this month’s Legion Dispatch. After showing off Maloghurst the Twisted and the new Imperial Fist’s Praetors, it’s back to the Traitor Legions as we take a first look at Argel Tal’s stunning new model.
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 travelling 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.**
As you can see, the new model captures Argel Tal in all of his ascended glory, and he is available to pre-order from Forge World soon. Get your Word Bearers Legion ready for his arrival by picking up a squad of Gal Vorbak for him to lead into battle.
