Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later - he was 'slowly healing' after all.

The miniature is pretty nice, but some of the proportions are a bit off, no? And is that the Emperor's sword he is wielding?

Oh, and who writes their own name on their armour? I mean it's not like anyone else is going to fit in it, are they?

Does this mean the other Primarchs are coming back, too? Probably. GW are releasing the traitor Primarchs, so it makes sense to have their counterparts I suppose. The Lion, Corax, Khan, Russ, Vulkan are all options to return. Dorn's body was never found, only his hand, so I guess he could come back, too, if he somehow managed to escape the battle he supposedly died in. Hmm...can Primarchs regenerate body parts I wonder? They were all tainted by Chaos, weren't they?

Fluff-wise, Primarchs are supposed to be able to recover from anything that doesn't kill them, (or in Vulkan's case, anything which does kill him as well), but I haven't seen any mention of them regrowing hands/limbs. Besides, it just gives the leader of the Imperial Fists a reason to have a huge mechanical fist.

Roboute there is suffering from a bad case of over-bling if ever I saw one. There's another picture doing the rounds with him, new Cypher and some GK dude. Tbh I prefer cypher and the GK as minis. As for primarchs coming back, I don't mind. Whatever hastens the end times is good by me. Papa smurf is the least inspiring aesthetically, tbh. Vulcan and russ both have potential. I also hope Abaddon gets proper treatment. Could be a good range of nice new minis coming this year. Then kill em all and reboot with 8th ed

Indeed

Sad that the Primarchs were so terribly afflicted with microcephaly. If he's actually wearing that armor, he must be built like Thrudd the Barbarian. That is if Thrudd has a sissy, half-brother. Must be a flaw in the gene-seed. His face looks like John Hurt's Caligula stretched over a balloon. And he could go with a little less on the cheekbones. It's Rogue Trader not Rouge Trader. Most any other "Not-a-Primarch-Primach" figure has more going for it than this one.
The other sculpts are competent at least.

"Thrudd? Who's Thrudd?"

Maybe they wanted to also put John Hurt in power armor. After all he was one of the voices in the Ultramrine movie.

I'm going to have to buy that Cypher! Cypher was the 7th 40k model I ever owned.

just saw a photoshop job that makes me think it'd be muuuuch better as Emps himself.

Oh konrad pumpkin, not every one can be possessed of "patrician features' as handsome as yours. But John hurt's stretched over a balloon made me laugh.
