FINALLY!
It has long been rumored that a sculpt of Angron has been ready and waiting for release. Truly, this rumor has persisted for years, at least since 8th edition. Whether or not this sculpt has been waiting that long, who can say? What we can say, is that ANGRON IS COMING, and he looks amazing!
Games Workshop revealed the model in a Warhammer Community article today, after a "leaked" photo of Angron, new Khorne Berzerkers, and at least two other mystery sculpts - plus new Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum minis - made the rounds on the internet:
I say "leaked" because I'm not convinced the potato-quality image wasn't released by Games Workshop, but I will save this theory for another article.
Let's take a closer look at Angron's new miniature:
The daemon primarch of the twelfth legion is looking appropriately brutal. Clearly a powerful daemon of Khorne, while still identifiable as a unique entity with throwbacks to his mortal form. Speaking of throwbacks, let's take a look at some artwork of Angron that we're likely all familiar with, as well as more recent imagery from Horus Heresy novel artwork:
I think the 3D artist was faithful to the existing imagery while still achieving a modern look that one assumes will not be out of place alongside his sons.
For fans of Angron and the World Eaters, this new range of miniatures is shaping up to be incredible. I expect the Berzerkers are going to look so good they'll steal the show from their angry angry pappy. I am super eager to see whatever's coming next!
