Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Dark Angels: The Lion & Retinue

Product Information

Arks of Omen: The Lion is the final chapter of this epic narrative, and it opens with a bang as the Primarch of the Dark Angels heads a last-ditch attempt to thwart the forces of Chaos.

We wanted him to sit in opposition to Guilliman, and from a narrative perspective, that gave us a really interesting place to go with his miniature.

But beneath their boisterous behaviour and irrepressible wildness, the Space Wolves are as valiant as any other Space Marines, despite their disdain for the dictates of the Codex Astartes.

Take Cindy Piewhistle for example – once a master baker, now a Star Player who weaponises her delicious wares, while Puggy Baconbreath is an elite athlete by usual halfling standards, with the skill and discipline of a champion twice his size. Strange creatures and alien mercenaries are commonplace in Commorragh, and many end up in the courts of Archons, where their exotic abilities are highly prized. Full of tactical power and featuring an amazing sculpt, this really does feel like the arrival of a famed Primarch, with all of the gravitas you'd expect from the Lion. If you prefer your anti-tank options a little more discrete, the Sicaran Venator trades mass for speed and can wind its way around enemy flanks before lancing neutron beam laser blasts right through the sides of opposing tanks.

April’s issue of White Dwarf brings all new Boarding Action rules that unlock laser beam barrier tiles for the Herald of Misery , War of Iron provides new Arks of Omen lore and a mission, and Angron takes centre stage for a massive showcase featuring background info and painting advice.

From ethereal thickets, a shadowy figure emerges – Lion El’Jonson has risen from his slumber and leapt straight into the thick of the action in the Imperium Nihilus. The Deathwing Veterans are an elite unit of Space Marines that are sworn to defend the Dark Angels’ homeworld, Caliban. Sam has captured this character’s magnificent and foreboding nature with a phenomenal paint job that’s bristling with fabulous details, exemplary shading, and beautiful highlights.

Patric has taken the base of the Primarch of the Dark Angels, striding forward with purpose, and converted him into the guise of his diseased – but still mortal – brother, Mortarion.
