Default Legion of the Damned News

From the Bell of Lost Souls:

Quote:



Pic brought to the community by El-Diablo at Warseer

People who attended the product seminar at the recent LA Games Day reported that pictures of new Legion of the Damned models were previewed. Legion of the Damned are now an "elites" choice in the new Space Marine Codex that will be released on Oct. 4. These new metal miniatures apparently have the expected skeleton and flame iconography copiously sculpted onto them. It was also announced that there will be a new Sgt. Centurius model! Some of you may remember the limited edition Sgt. Centurius model that was released as a celebrational promotion for the opening of the 100th Games Workshop store many years ago.

The picture above was taken at UK Games Day today, September 14 and appears to show a new Legion of the Damned sculpt. More than one miniature like this was photographed at the event.

Fans of the mysterious and preternatural Legion of the Damned will surely be excited to see their return to the tabletop battlefield. Although there's no release date announced yet for these miniatures I'm looking forward to painting some flames and bones myself!

Bit of an update there....honestly, as good as the test mini looks, I'd be very much tempted to try my hand at converting my own.

It does look pretty good, and the inclusion of them into the fluff again does make me one happy chappy.

I'm afraid the source does mention they'll be metal models...as an elites choice in the new codex, that does seem likely. All the same, they do seem to be nice sculpts...

I certainly won't be bringing any. They don't "fit" my army.....

They very much "fit" my army but they are quite expensive points wise. I'm not sure how 'playable' they will be??

I wish they wouldhave been plastic but I will end up with at least one squad. I love the new scupts from what I have seen. If they would have released them as plastic, I couild see entire SM armies based off these models though.

They'd make good CSM, maybe an alternative to the dust filled version or Rubric marines, for those who want 1ksons without the associated fluff.

They're too obviously undead to make good a good Death Company, though. Unlike the old ones, which were just marines with bones and flames on top.

The metal bit is a bitch though, makes it hard to lose the flame details.
