The Warhammer Preview Online: Black Library has been an absolute onslaught of new book reveals and teases. If you’ve not yet seen it, you can watch the full presentation right now.
You may have caught wind of a pair of models leaping from the page to the tabletop. Meet Fafnir Rann of the Imperial Fists and Dominion Zephon of the Blood Angels Legion.
Such is the scale of the Siege of Terra that even mighty heroes of the Imperium are small cogs in the grinding slaughter of the Horus Heresy. The heroes who fought to defend the Imperial Palace from dozens of plots and brutal attacks were many, and their deeds were just as noble as those of their Primarchs.
Fafnir Rann
A celebrated officer of the Imperial Fists, Captain Rann was charged with the defence of the strategically vital Lions Gate Spaceport. He later joined the Templar Brethren, fighting alongside Sigismund and earning ever greater glory.
He’s a veritable mountain of stubborn strength, even for a superhuman Space Marine, wielding his signature twin power axes.
Dominion Zephon
Zephon, while not high-ranking, always seemed to find his way to the centre of the action. His body was shattered in battle just before the events of the Siege of Terra, and his extensive augmetic surgeries brought him into contact with a Tech-Priest by the name of Arkhan Land (yes, the very same man for whom the Land Raider and Land Speeder were named).
He fought alongside the Adeptus Custodes, was recruited by Malcador the Sigillite, and fought on the front lines of the siege, fearlessly protecting and inspiring the soldiers at every turn. This incredible model shows his unusual bionic limbs, as well as the grace and fury of the Blood Angels.
Intrigued? We can’t blame you. Though their stories are bigger than one book, the Siege of Terra novel Saturnine – coming soon in paperback – will give you a healthy dose of Rann and Zephon, and the series isn’t even over yet...
You’ll be able to secure both of these models very soon during the Black Library Celebration in February, so stay tuned for more news.
