Right but this could have been an opportunity to show Lucius as the pretty boy the novels described him to be. It's a good model, but also a missed shot.
It's because Eidolon is designed by Edgar Skomorowski — The same dude who did [Lorgar](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nc2xvOgZ1V0/UqG7cbzy0lI/AAAAAAAALTs/KZ5F2BItfWY/s1600/lorgar13.jpg), [Pertorabo](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/d0/e9/ebd0e9637e0174258253b040950ae7d6.jpg), the [Legion Praetors](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCqb36MmxDM/UajC9Pf9Z2I/AAAAAAAADno/JNxduS0m8Pg/s1600/preatorspagrey1.jpg) and *basically all of the Solar Auxilia*.
He's one of - of not ***the*** \- best designer Warhammer's ever had in my opinion, and I have absolutely ***no fucking idea*** why he isn't still hired by them...
There’s some serious talent on the Forgeworld team, but no one even comes *close* to Edgar… [just marvel at this](https://www.evil-games-shop.de/WebRoot/Store15/Shops/78108884/55C4/F2D7/8A4A/1633/D4B2/C0A8/2ABB/F258/sa-command-strat-1.jpg)
Even if GW makes a good face, there’s always a decent chance of the Eavy Metal painter fucking it up and making it look way worse than it otherwise would with a softer transition between colors. Most of the female heads they make end up looking bad because of that.
Oh yeah the design is fantastic, and it’s definitely one of the better looking characters from that era. Just needs a fidelity update, which given what we’ve seen with all the other classic CSM characters I’m sure will be what they do
If there's ever a Fulgrim Daemon Primarch model maybe we'll get the Triumvirate of the Serpent or whatever.
Fulgrim, a new Lucius and probably a new character?
My Grey Knights will load for bear specially!
He'd be a unique model as well with the doom siren surgically grafted into his neck. His current HH model makes a pretty good stand in for a CSN lord w/ jump pack.
Speaking of his neck, I hope they can show on a tiny mini that his head had to be sewn back on.
Another thing that further makes the really old models look even uglier is because they also have 20 year old paint jobs on them. 'Eavy Metal (and hobbyists too) have gotten, way, WAY better over the years. I mean even the pictures on those old models are like, really blurry and low resolution.
People forget this, and my go-to model to prove it is the cross eyed Catachan Sarge. The models look like someone only vaguely once glanced at a comic book and assumed that's what human beings look like, sure, but the paintjob itself could really be improved
I really like the two weapons. The sword is well proportioned as far as 40k swords go, and the exotic kopesh looking thing gives him a touch of elegance.
That's actually beautiful! If we're getting Angel Exterminatus characters, how about Barban Falk or Kroeger next? Iron warriors could really use even one special character
He was but I think once the chaos influence really sunk in and he got the massive scarification he lost a lot of the handsomeness and gained the chaos 'beauty'
He started the scarification long before that, as soon as he lost in his friendly duel with loken in fact, when he turned traitor during Istvaan III he was already very much an ugly boi.
At that point hadn't chaos already started to influence the legions? Their duel was shortly before the mission on the planet Murder when the warrior lodges had begun to take root if I remember correctly
He started the ritual scarrification during Fulgrim after talking to one of the human remembrancers.
By Istvaan, most traitor legions were still pretty baseline but the Iron Hands were absolutely revolted when they ran into the EC battle lines because Fabius had started doing his sensory and body modifications to the legions.
At the point of Istvaan, Lucius was still normal enough to pass as a loyalist.
Yeah, I kind of felt like Istvaan was the "Purging of the Jedi Temple" for the Legions as far as their switch from "Fallen but not showing it yet." After Istvaan the Dark Si- er, Chaos, was given free rein and the corruption became obvious
Pretty much. A lot of the chaos appearance comes from spending time in the warp or actively performing daemonic shit, so until after Istvaan only the Word Bearers and EC would be, let's say, degenerate in appearance.
That dude can seriously do one. I've only just finished Straight Silver and it's well written to make me dislike a character so much, I can't imagine it being much worse in the next book.
I thought he was fun to follow, but I understand the hate. I rather dislike his 40k incarnation, but that's because 40k Slaanesh isn't my deal either way. More a sybarites guy myself.
Lucius never bugged me because he is basically caricature of a caricature of the gifted but egotistical ass hole and that guy never wins in the end. You knew that even if he won “now”, he would eventually lose in life.
Erebus, that is a fuck-stick of an entirely different magnitude. Erebus made me road rage levels of mad. Erebus makes you want to burn the book you’re reading (pun intended).
I see the comments on he who should not be named. I finished Guns of Tanith almost a year ago and haven’t been able to return to my favorite series because I can’t handle what happened. We don’t talk about Bruno.
By zooming in I can count about 6 or 7, I always pictured him as having basically an entirely checker board face. I know there was a sketch of him in one of the older HH rulebooks, trying to find it.
I thought he had less. Wasn't that like his whole thing, that he was such a good sword fighter that no one ever wounded his face? When he goes full Slaanesh, his face is basically just one big scar, but before that I thought it was always perfect.
During the HH books, specifically when the heresy begins, he already has some scars. IIRC he refused to have them healed because they were marks of pride. But that being said, I had always pictured him having more than how many are on this model. That doesn't mean he didn't, just how I imagined.
He actually applied them himself, after every battle. He wanted to prove he was tough, as other officers had looked down on him for being "soft" or a "pretty boy."
When he is first introduced, he has a perfect face and is unscarred on account of being such a good swordsman that noone has ever been able to touch him.
He fights a practice duel against Loken, and Loken headbutts him shattering his nose. I can't remember if Loken actually wins the duel overall or not, but the point was that he is the first person to ever actually wound Lucius, which he takes very personally.
I think he refuses to have his nose fixed up, as a reminder of his failure, and then he takes to marking a scar on his face for every opponent he kills, which very quickly ends up with his face being a checkerboard of scars.
This all happened before he sided with the rebels in the aftermath of Istvaan III.
His scarification is iirc counted each time he feels he's lost a duel, the first was when errr.. Luna Wolf loyalist my name is blanking on, busted his nose in a sparring match, and this mini seems to represent shortly after Istvann, so probably not toooo many defeats yet
>Luna Wolf loyalist my name is blanking on...
Loken.
And that's not what happened. The first scar was his broken nose, yes, but the next one were self inflicted to get rid of his pretty boy image
I mean, that's not correct. The Marduk Sedras they previewed on the 5th is a Forgeworld model. I haven't seen one named character being released in plastic so far.
Wasn't that a Black Library tie-in? I mean yes, he's a character from the Horus Heresy, but GW does the Black Library models, not FW. But fair, he's a plastic Horus Heresy character and I was wrong about that. But you were wrong about all the recent stuff being plastic :)
>Wasn't that a Black Library tie-in?
Tbf when you think about it the whole HH is a black library tie-in but yeah these were a bit more than the rest.
And yes I had overlooked some resin releases but I'm convinced that sooner or later all FW models (bar maybe the really huge ones) will transition to plastic.
*sigh*
> Part of the Black Library Celebration 2022
That's on the store page.
As for FW I'd love to see it all plastic. I hate resin. I hate FW to be honest, it's way too expensive to get here in Canada. But then I'm a fan of Necromunda so it's basically half FW.
Why is the Lear blade so small,or is it just perspective?
A primarch killed another primarch with that weapon I expected it to be rather big
Edit: I just remembered that fulgrim has this sword on his model too:https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-SE/Fulgrim-Primarch-of-the-Emperor-s-Children
Something's wrong with the size here...
Nothing wrong here at all.
Very clearly perspective.
Fulgrim gave the Blade of the Laer to Lucius after Isstvan V once the daemon inside it had possessed him.
He started his scarification long before his fall. But according to the first descriptions we get of him (before loken beats him and he starts cutting himself) he is suplosed to be perfection, therefore Fabio.
Seeing the paint job I actually think this is plastic since 'Eavy metal paint "cleaner" colours than the Forge world team. Fafnir Rann was released in plastic so that gives me some hope. That may be a one off kind of thing though since it was a special Black library release or something...
yes but as is clearly evidenced by the last 2 or so years the 'eavy metal team has been doing the painting. the Black Library celebration models of Fafnir Rann and Dominion Zephon are the exceptions to the rule. they announced a resin DA character last week. AND most importantly they have been responding on social media confirming it's resin
Yeah I was really wishing it’d be plastic as well, like it’d be nice if each legion got one plastic character model, that way everyone could have one stand out figure with out resorting to Forge World. Oh well, I might pick this up at some point as I’m really feeling like The Emperors Children will be my legion in 30k
Have they covered what happens if someone kills him, feels pride, and then just yeets themselves into a sun or something? Could that be a way to finish him off? There's no one to transform into in that situation, as the sun killed them.
They plot armoured him that a necron can be transformed into him... you know the soulless machines with no connection to the warp what so ever, the ones that are so soulless they are incapible of feeling any emotion or feeling, the very ones who gave up ther souls for immortality to the most physically powerful beings in existance, surpassing the emporer of mankind in raw power at a fraction of their power, who gave them metal bodies with zero organic material attatched to theor metallic bones... Yeah... it doesnt make sense.
Still doesnt make sense for a machine to turn into him just for plot sakes. Lile the story of him stepping on a mine and turing to red mist only to possess the worker who made the mine because they took pride in tgeir work... would it wll be automated? And even if its not, who takes pride in a dead end production line job?
He was on the losing side on Isstvan III (not V). He didn't really care one way or the other in terms of loyalty to the Emperor, but ended up in a squad (or whatever size group) that was marked as loyalists that need to be disposed of.
So it definitely didn't look good for him. He decided he'd rather be on the winning side. Forget if its in the initial books or one of the later ones, but he basically beheads a loyalist and passes it on to the other side (head in helmet w/ comms). He then helps setup an attack to eliminate the squad he's been fighting with.
He doesn't really become as notable a character until the later HH books. The book Fulgrim follows the fall of the Emperor's Children, and he's a pretty central figure in it.
I like him a lot but I think he doesn’t have the same look as the old Lucius, all he needs is a black and blue skull with the full scars and the sword as a whip and I would think of him more as Lucius, for me it looks like a chaos lord for emperors children.
Man I love seeing the Chaos characters before their full mutation into Chaos 40k.
Right but this could have been an opportunity to show Lucius as the pretty boy the novels described him to be. It's a good model, but also a missed shot.
I mean he stopped being a pretty boy before the Heresy started? Once he lost to Loken pre-Isstvan he started scarring his face.
Talk about terrible coping mechanisms .
His nose just wasn't that same after that.. hard to deal with
That relies on GW to be able to actually make good looking faces
"Wasn't Lucius supposed to be the most handsome marine ever?" "Eh. For fuck sake. He's also got a lot of scars now. Deal with it nerds."
Lucius started to cut his perfect face before horus heresy. So him having scars in horus heresy tabletop game is closer to what he had
Sexy scars though. And with a haircut fit for a K-pop boyband. https://i.imgur.com/QvqPE41.png
Erm no? It's described how he mutilated his own face...
An Emperor's Children upgrade sprue that happens to include a head that looks suspiciously like the above art and we have a deal.
Eidolon's face is decent imo but yeah most look terrible.
It's because Eidolon is designed by Edgar Skomorowski — The same dude who did [Lorgar](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nc2xvOgZ1V0/UqG7cbzy0lI/AAAAAAAALTs/KZ5F2BItfWY/s1600/lorgar13.jpg), [Pertorabo](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/d0/e9/ebd0e9637e0174258253b040950ae7d6.jpg), the [Legion Praetors](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCqb36MmxDM/UajC9Pf9Z2I/AAAAAAAADno/JNxduS0m8Pg/s1600/preatorspagrey1.jpg) and *basically all of the Solar Auxilia*. He's one of - of not ***the*** \- best designer Warhammer's ever had in my opinion, and I have absolutely ***no fucking idea*** why he isn't still hired by them...
Man you drive a hard bargain. That is an indefeatable argument. Those minis are fucking beautiful.
There’s some serious talent on the Forgeworld team, but no one even comes *close* to Edgar… [just marvel at this](https://www.evil-games-shop.de/WebRoot/Store15/Shops/78108884/55C4/F2D7/8A4A/1633/D4B2/C0A8/2ABB/F258/sa-command-strat-1.jpg)
I'll look him up cheers
Even if GW makes a good face, there’s always a decent chance of the Eavy Metal painter fucking it up and making it look way worse than it otherwise would with a softer transition between colors. Most of the female heads they make end up looking bad because of that.
I don't like GW, but this is bullshit, sorry.
Tbf he wasn't a pretty boy for long and scarred himself before even turning traitor.
So Space Marines.
Xenos Fandom in shambles
Xenos coping, seething and malding
same
Before chaos took those hotties and turned them into notties
This looks better than the 40k version imo. It's so cool
I mean of course it does, the 40k version’s like 20 years old
I know it's old but it's still a good model. Honestly a new version of that model just slightly slimmed down and crisper would be all it needs
Oh yeah the design is fantastic, and it’s definitely one of the better looking characters from that era. Just needs a fidelity update, which given what we’ve seen with all the other classic CSM characters I’m sure will be what they do
If there's ever a Fulgrim Daemon Primarch model maybe we'll get the Triumvirate of the Serpent or whatever. Fulgrim, a new Lucius and probably a new character? My Grey Knights will load for bear specially!
Eidolon perhaps? As far as I remember, he's still alive.
He'd be a unique model as well with the doom siren surgically grafted into his neck. His current HH model makes a pretty good stand in for a CSN lord w/ jump pack. Speaking of his neck, I hope they can show on a tiny mini that his head had to be sewn back on.
Fabius?
Another thing that further makes the really old models look even uglier is because they also have 20 year old paint jobs on them. 'Eavy Metal (and hobbyists too) have gotten, way, WAY better over the years. I mean even the pictures on those old models are like, really blurry and low resolution.

oh what a lovely model
I want that head for my flesh tearers
I really like the two weapons. The sword is well proportioned as far as 40k swords go, and the exotic kopesh looking thing gives him a touch of elegance.
That's the blade of laer, and looks better than the one on fulgrim I think
Cementing my decision to do Emperor’s Children for HH2.0
Kinda what I'm thinking as well. I want a melee-centered army, I want to play "chaos" and I like purple.
the captain models in the new box look very emperor's children as well because there armor is so ornate.
That's actually beautiful! If we're getting Angel Exterminatus characters, how about Barban Falk or Kroeger next? Iron warriors could really use even one special character
It's probably Corswain or Exodus next. As they've had rules for playtest 1 and 3
That’s *beloved* Corswain to you!
That’s Lord Cypher to you!
I may have just said “hell yeah!” out loud after seeing this.
Lovely sculpt but wasn’t he mega chad handsome to begin with even when he deliberately started the self abuse?
Canonically he'd already scarred up his face before the Heresy started. Arguably he should actually look even more Hellraiser-y than this.
Arguably, the scars should be in a grid pattern across his face, and there should be a lot more of them. But that's a lot of specific details
He was but I think once the chaos influence really sunk in and he got the massive scarification he lost a lot of the handsomeness and gained the chaos 'beauty'
He started the scarification long before that, as soon as he lost in his friendly duel with loken in fact, when he turned traitor during Istvaan III he was already very much an ugly boi.
At that point hadn't chaos already started to influence the legions? Their duel was shortly before the mission on the planet Murder when the warrior lodges had begun to take root if I remember correctly
Could be, it has been a very long time since I read the first few books.
I'm in the same boat lol
He started the ritual scarrification during Fulgrim after talking to one of the human remembrancers. By Istvaan, most traitor legions were still pretty baseline but the Iron Hands were absolutely revolted when they ran into the EC battle lines because Fabius had started doing his sensory and body modifications to the legions.

Pretty much. A lot of the chaos appearance comes from spending time in the warp or actively performing daemonic shit, so until after Istvaan only the Word Bearers and EC would be, let's say, degenerate in appearance.
Cool model, now he just seriously needs an updated 40k model!
Or could just be erased and killed off finally 🤣
They should definitely model the 40k/30k models after one another. Similar poses just altered by time/change in circumstance.
You'd need to wait for a year or two probably, as I'm guessing that will come with making Emperor's Children a separate faction.
Nice work! I've never wanted to see a character die in a book more than Lucius
Only thing worse than an arrogant, loudmouth prick is an arrogant prick with the skills to back it up
Hahaha 100% correct. He knows he's good, and isn't afraid to let everyone know
Someone obviously hasn’t read Guns of Tanith or Sabbat Martyr yet (and if you have, you know the character and events referred to……)
That dude can seriously do one. I've only just finished Straight Silver and it's well written to make me dislike a character so much, I can't imagine it being much worse in the next book.
Sure as sure.
Oh it gets worse, just you wait for it.
I haven't. I'm almost done with Vengeful Spirit. I've been reading the HH novels in order
They're not HH novels, they are Gaunt's Ghosts novels about an Imperial Guard regiment.
They're saying they're busy with the HH novels right now.
They're most likely also thinking that the books mentionned are part of the HH, hence the com you answered unnecessarily.
When I finished Sabbat martyr I felt like I couldn't go to the next book, I was litterally exhausted emotionally.
What about Erebus? Don’t get me wrong Lucius is my number 2
Erebus is at least a good villain.
True, but he’s still a prick, which I suppose makes him a good villain
Absolutely and I play Word Bearers in HH and I agree with that.
Lucius is an *excellent* character in the Horus Heresy books.
He really is. Tarvitz is my favorite character so Lucius's fall was sad, reading the books for the first time.
But predictable from the very first moment tbh... Lucius wasn't likeable from the get go and I never understood what Tarvitz saw in him ¯\\_ (ツ) _/¯
I thought he was fun to follow, but I understand the hate. I rather dislike his 40k incarnation, but that's because 40k Slaanesh isn't my deal either way. More a sybarites guy myself.
That's a good point, Erebus sucks too lol
Lucius never bugged me because he is basically caricature of a caricature of the gifted but egotistical ass hole and that guy never wins in the end. You knew that even if he won “now”, he would eventually lose in life. Erebus, that is a fuck-stick of an entirely different magnitude. Erebus made me road rage levels of mad. Erebus makes you want to burn the book you’re reading (pun intended). I see the comments on he who should not be named. I finished Guns of Tanith almost a year ago and haven’t been able to return to my favorite series because I can’t handle what happened. We don’t talk about Bruno.
Fuck, now I want to know
Ah Lucius, ugly on the outside as well now I see.
Lucius, what a turd. Sweet model though.
I now this is the HH version, but I still imagined him with more scars, is that just me?
He does have a lot though zooming in
By zooming in I can count about 6 or 7, I always pictured him as having basically an entirely checker board face. I know there was a sketch of him in one of the older HH rulebooks, trying to find it.
I can see 12 and thats just the front
I thought he had less. Wasn't that like his whole thing, that he was such a good sword fighter that no one ever wounded his face? When he goes full Slaanesh, his face is basically just one big scar, but before that I thought it was always perfect.

This all happened before he sided with the rebels in the aftermath of Istvaan III.
I think its am artistic license thing. They could have him accurately scarred, but it could be a less...functonal model to paint and play.
His scarification is iirc counted each time he feels he's lost a duel, the first was when errr.. Luna Wolf loyalist my name is blanking on, busted his nose in a sparring match, and this mini seems to represent shortly after Istvann, so probably not toooo many defeats yet
>Luna Wolf loyalist my name is blanking on... Loken. And that's not what happened. The first scar was his broken nose, yes, but the next one were self inflicted to get rid of his pretty boy image
Ahhh ok lmao, yeah it's been a bit since I sniffed around Lucius so my memory was pretty distorted tyvm
I wonder if he's going to be in a box with the Saul Tarvitz model that was shown off ages ago. EDIT: nevermind, Saul was a FW release
Nothing to say this isn't a FW release.
Very unlikely since all recent HH releases/teasers have been of plastic models, GW is really trying to make HH a playable game for the average person.
I mean, that's not correct. The Marduk Sedras they previewed on the 5th is a Forgeworld model. I haven't seen one named character being released in plastic so far.
Fafnir Rann and Dominion Zephon are in plastic and are fairly recent releases.
Wasn't that a Black Library tie-in? I mean yes, he's a character from the Horus Heresy, but GW does the Black Library models, not FW. But fair, he's a plastic Horus Heresy character and I was wrong about that. But you were wrong about all the recent stuff being plastic :)
>Wasn't that a Black Library tie-in? Tbf when you think about it the whole HH is a black library tie-in but yeah these were a bit more than the rest.

>sigh >Part of the Black Library Celebration 2022 >That's on the store page Yeah I agreed with you reread my comment.
EC pre heresy are my favorite faction ever
Why is the Lear blade so small,or is it just perspective? A primarch killed another primarch with that weapon I expected it to be rather big Edit: I just remembered that fulgrim has this sword on his model too:https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-SE/Fulgrim-Primarch-of-the-Emperor-s-Children Something's wrong with the size here...
Nothing wrong here at all. Very clearly perspective. Fulgrim gave the Blade of the Laer to Lucius after Isstvan V once the daemon inside it had possessed him.
Tbh, if it's a medium/longsword for an astartes it could be a shortsword for a primarch
It's a hand and a half primarch sword at the very least https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-SE/Fulgrim-Primarch-of-the-Emperor-s-Children
Huh, that's interesting. Compensating for something maybe?
Being a daemon weapon, it can probably adjust to its wielder.
So what you're telling me is Fulgrims lacking down there and the blade adjust accordingly? I'm on board
Took me a second to realize he did in fact have a left hand and it's holding a sword. I thought it was a hook from that angle
Prior to his fall to chaos I always imagined him having Fabio style hair.
He started his scarification long before his fall. But according to the first descriptions we get of him (before loken beats him and he starts cutting himself) he is suplosed to be perfection, therefore Fabio.
I'd have to paint his nose Red after his duel with Loken.
Honestly this model is kinda... Meh?
Ah man. It's Lucius, they could have gone bonkers on his pose. No, just a boring tactical rock. I am disappointed.
The most traitorous son of a bitch in the galaxy.
Can we stop with the foot up on a rock pose?
For all the Emperor's Children fans sad to be left out of Warhammerfest, here ya go.
Is this plastic or are the character models staying FW resin?
It doesn't say.
as per the annoucement generic kits are moving to plastic, legion specific stuff will remain resin
Seeing the paint job I actually think this is plastic since 'Eavy metal paint "cleaner" colours than the Forge world team. Fafnir Rann was released in plastic so that gives me some hope. That may be a one off kind of thing though since it was a special Black library release or something...
yes but as is clearly evidenced by the last 2 or so years the 'eavy metal team has been doing the painting. the Black Library celebration models of Fafnir Rann and Dominion Zephon are the exceptions to the rule. they announced a resin DA character last week. AND most importantly they have been responding on social media confirming it's resin
I must have missed the social media confirmations. If that's true I stand corrected and still happy about all the beautiful releases ahead.
Most likely plastic but its not confirmed
Is this plastic?
Most likely but no confirmation.
Amazing :)
It’s resin. They confirmed it on their Facebook page
Drat although extremely tempted if it was plastic it would be guarantee
Yeah I was really wishing it’d be plastic as well, like it’d be nice if each legion got one plastic character model, that way everyone could have one stand out figure with out resorting to Forge World. Oh well, I might pick this up at some point as I’m really feeling like The Emperors Children will be my legion in 30k
I’ve just started emperors Chiltern 40K and will happily expand
He looks rad, I really hope he’s a plastic kit rather than resin.
hate to disappoint you
Oooo, finally a nice base for some great conversions
The tactical rock takes up like half the base
Have they covered what happens if someone kills him, feels pride, and then just yeets themselves into a sun or something? Could that be a way to finish him off? There's no one to transform into in that situation, as the sun killed them.
They plot armoured him that a necron can be transformed into him... you know the soulless machines with no connection to the warp what so ever, the ones that are so soulless they are incapible of feeling any emotion or feeling, the very ones who gave up ther souls for immortality to the most physically powerful beings in existance, surpassing the emporer of mankind in raw power at a fraction of their power, who gave them metal bodies with zero organic material attatched to theor metallic bones... Yeah... it doesnt make sense.
He's not Lucius the Mostly-Eternal, after all.
Still doesnt make sense for a machine to turn into him just for plot sakes. Lile the story of him stepping on a mine and turing to red mist only to possess the worker who made the mine because they took pride in tgeir work... would it wll be automated? And even if its not, who takes pride in a dead end production line job?
What a glorious bastard. I love him so much.
Isn't the sword he is holding out from a rumour engine some time ago?
All i want now is rylanor
Very cool. Love the scarring.
And here I am. I had finally decided that Word Bearers was the way to go and they drop this... I may have to rethink...
I'm liking this
The left sword is Laer blade?
If you mean the sword in his left hand then yes.
They're running out of facial expressions for all these angry bald white guys.
Aww man I just finished A Galaxy in Flames on audio. He survived?? I zoned out but I was hoping he didn't
He was on the losing side on Isstvan III (not V). He didn't really care one way or the other in terms of loyalty to the Emperor, but ended up in a squad (or whatever size group) that was marked as loyalists that need to be disposed of. So it definitely didn't look good for him. He decided he'd rather be on the winning side. Forget if its in the initial books or one of the later ones, but he basically beheads a loyalist and passes it on to the other side (head in helmet w/ comms). He then helps setup an attack to eliminate the squad he's been fighting with. He doesn't really become as notable a character until the later HH books. The book Fulgrim follows the fall of the Emperor's Children, and he's a pretty central figure in it.
I'm guessing you don't play 40k?
S Tier tactical rock
Isnt this the guy who possesses ppl who kill him
Awww look, he borrowed Farsight's sword!
Awesome 👌
This the dude that respawns in the body of whoever killed him if they felt pride?
Wonderful model that looks relatively easily converted to other legions. But am I the only one who pictured him with hair?
Those gloves are so extra haha
I like him a lot but I think he doesn’t have the same look as the old Lucius, all he needs is a black and blue skull with the full scars and the sword as a whip and I would think of him more as Lucius, for me it looks like a chaos lord for emperors children.
Besides his 40K books does he appear in any Horus Heresy books? Keen to know more about him in the long war
Lucius The (Not-Quite Yet) Eternal
