As the Horus Heresy ground on, many of the Traitor Primarchs began to search the mysteries of the warp for even greater power than their narrow-minded brothers could comprehend. The sons of the Emperor were a mighty prize for any god to claim, and when the Dark Gods came knocking, one such Primarch was only too happy to answer.*
During the events of Angel Exterminatus by Graham McNeill, Fulgrim became suffused with the raw power of Slaanesh, and achieved an apotheosis undreamt of by his mortal kin. Though Perturabo struck down his physical body in retaliation for his brother’s betrayal, the lord of the Emperor’s Children merely discarded his mortal corpse and ascended as a Daemon Primarch.
And what a Daemon Primarch he is!
This miniature is utterly stunning in its detail, from the intricate golden finish of his armour to a face that could have been carved from marble. If you’ve ever wondered how Fulgrim could be described as both breathtakingly beautiful and monstrously serpentine, wonder no more – it’s enough to make you consider a career as a Slaaneshi cultist..
His coiled body and epic wingspan make Fulgrim Transfigured easily the largest Primach in the Horus Heresy range, dwarfing his lesser brothers with sheer daemonic power. As only the second Primarch to receive a second model, alongside Horus Ascended, the Phoenecian is a new watermark for awe-inspiring resin miniatures.
Despite his imposing stature and bombastic vibe, Fulgrim’s finer details are what really make the miniature pop. Charms, fetishes, trophies, and ribbons adorn his mutated war plate, with no square inch free from some form of impressively gaudy accessory. Truly, he is Slaanesh’s chosen.
Fulgrim Transfigured will be fully playable in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy,** and is an unmissable centrepiece for fans of the Emperor’s Children. Imagine having to fight that thing with only a few Dreadnoughts and boltguns to hand.
As incredible as this is, it’s not the only thing revealed today – head back to our NOVA Open Preview hub and see all of the other awesome surprises from today’s stream.
* Was it his own decision, or did the Blade of the Laer influence his mind?
** Let’s rip the plaster off now – no, this model won’t be getting rules for Warhammer 40,000.
