Did you catch the gripping Praetor-on-Praetor battle royale in the cinematic trailer for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy? Well, we saw the glorious miniature for one of these Astartes officers at AdeptiCon, and now we’re ready to meet a second new plastic Praetor – this time in Mark VI Artificer Armour.
Praetors were the mightiest warriors and battle-leaders of the Space Marine Legions. They commanded the war hosts of the Great Crusade and held the power of life and death in their hands. Such inspiring heroism requires a suitably imposing miniature…
…and this new plastic Praetor perfectly captures the majesty of these legendary commanders.
The Praetor is armed with a master-crafted volkite charger to burn through massed infantry and a potent power weapon (which can alternately be used as a paragon blade) to slice through any enemy warriors. Meanwhile, his artificer armour and forcefield-projecting iron halo keep him safe from incoming fire. His cape offers no such battlefield benefits, but it is both fashionable and practical, should he ever find himself needing to look cool on a windswept rocky outcrop.
The kit comes with a choice of heads and looks great in any colour – an important quality, given that this fellow is not bound to any one Legion.
The new Praetor will look great leading your Mark VI Legionary Tactical Squad into battle. We’ve still got plenty more awesome new miniatures to show you for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy every Thursday, including another totally unseen model next week. Then there dives into the deep lore surrounding this epic conflict every Friday.
Get ready for the release of the Praetor by choosing your Space Marine Legion on the new website for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.
