The Age of Darkness is in full swing right now – Legions are clashing, and scary reinforcements like the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought, Sicaran Battle Tank, and Deimos-pattern Predator are on their way. Footsloggers aren’t getting left out though, and the First, Fourth, and Fifth Legions are rubbing their hands together in glee while they await their shiny new Mk VI upgrades.
The Third, meanwhile, don’t consider the fine raiments that they have on the way are sufficient, however. The Emperor’s Children pursue excess in all things, and they bear that philosophy out in full with this fabulous new Praetor.
Suffused with filigree, resplendent in jewellery, and bearing elaborate weaponry so fine it almost seems a shame to use it in combat, this Praetor is serving some grandiloquent style.
Before the Heresy kicked off, the Emperor’s Children had the honour of carrying the Emperor’s personal sigil into battle, and the Palatine Aquila is emblazoned on every spare part of armour.* It’s exactly this kind of pride that comes before a fall, and gosh, did Fulgrim’s lot fall.
You can see traces of the dark sensory path these unhinged explorers were travelling down by just looking at the gruesome alternate head. Apothecaries were knee-deep in gruesome surgical experiments towards the end of the Great Crusade, developing psycho-sonic weaponry like Sonic Shriekers and Sonic Lances.
This fine-looking feller is fit to lead your Mark VI Tactical Squad or Palatine Blade Squad. Keep up with all the latest information on new releases for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy by signing up for our newsletter.
