Seriously did I miss this or is it new?

KHARN THE BLOODY - 8TH CAPTAIN OF THE WORLD EATERS (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/KHARN_THE_BLOODY.html)
£30.00


A skilled warrior and duellist, Khârn was a line captain at the time of Angron’s rediscovery, but soon rose to become his Primarch’s equerry and one of the few whose counsel he heeded. It was Khârn who acted as the voice of reason for Angron, often bringing his master back from the brink of insanity and curbing the worst of his bloody excesses.

But Khârn was by no means immune to the cancerous rage which afflicted his Legion, and it was upon the ravaged surface of Isstvan III that he first surrendered himself fully to the bloodshed and slaughter. At the height of the battle, Khârn fell during a confrontation with Garviel Loken of the Sons of the Horus, impaled upon the ram of a Land Raider and left for dead by his own comrades. Somehow he survived and his eventual return to the front line was seen by many World Eaters as nothing short of miraculous, a sure sign that he still had some dark destiny to achieve in the bloody days to come.

Khârn the Bloody, designed by Edgar Skomorowski, is a multi-part resin model displayed on a scenic diorama base, with a smaller removable base for gaming use. This model is provided with the choice of a helmeted or bare head as well as the choice of the Cutter or Gorechild weapons. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 28th February. You can see a video of how Edgar worked on Kharn here.

/yawn more Scpech Mareenz...

And just looks like a rehash of the Angron model pose. I'm also not particularly impressed with the sculpt either; it just doesn't strike me as particularly good (imho)

I was going to say, I like the homage to Angron. i also like how Armless Bob looks like he is just falling backwards like a cartoon character or something.

Choice of heads, and weapons....because he can have Gorechild as well!

I am really tempted to start getting the 30k charaters and just "chaosifying" them for 40k......

I'm still tempted to use the Heresy stuff to do a non-physically corrupted Slaanesh force.

I really like the concept of the beautiful exterior, but thoroughly rotten interior!

but I still need lorgar and the one non primach before that. They're going too fast now.

I like the version without the helmet better (bare headed ANGRY)

Judging by the all the similarities - the bare arm, the skull on the back of the plasma pistol (despite it being a different model as compared to his 40k model), lack of imperial markings, it is kinda crying out for someone to stick bunny ears and a chaos backpack on him.

is that the correct back pack? it looks a bit mk 6/7

Eh, I don't think Kharn's the kinda guy who coordinates his armour pieces :P Plus, considering how frequently he near-dies, he probably needs plenty of replacements.

Ohhhhhh, gotcha. While Forgeworld's original take on MK4 backpacks was pretty distinct, they've switched over to a more MK6/7 look in their "Legion" kits; http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/Leghvy-Mk4-6.jpg

I like to think it's a celebratory arm chopping dance.

The whole scene looks wrong because of the physical impossibility of the models' placement relative to each other. The bare head option looks good, and I like the torso style, the rest is pretty meh, and I wish they would have used the time and effort to get Pyroclasts out quicker. Also, it's part of the character series, so it'll be, what? 50 quid?

its £30 just like typhon all single characters will be while primarchs and dual character kits will be £55

Ragghhhhhh I want that bad boy, this model might just be the thing that gets me painting again. You can just feel the testosterone throbbing of that model, I love it.

Totally agree. While I generally prefer my Marines with helmets on, this is one of those exceptions.
