Forge World Newsletter #376

So the next Primarch is Lorgar Aurelian.

I was hoping for a dynamic pose of him swinging his mace or in full on 'arms outstretched preaching to the masses' pose. Instead I have 'standing casually looking at stuff'.

It's still beautifully detailed. I was just hoping for something a bit different from this...

Reunited with the Emperor, and at the head of the Word Bearers Legion, Lorgar Aurelian conquered, not simply through stratagem, overmatching power or simple brute violence, but by the subtle craft of exaltation, liberation and example. In his literal interpretation of the meaning of the Great Crusade, however, he and his Legion strayed from the path that had been set out for them.

For his failings, Lorgar received only disdain, contempt and censure from his siblings and father. His greatest success, Monarchia, was rendered to dust and ashes at the command of the Emperor, who sought no worship from his son, only swift victories to hasten his works. With his beliefs shattered, anger and resentment set in and Lorgar began to secretly accept new, darker truths. Both betrayer and betrayed, it was he who would set the stage for the nightmare of the Horus Heresy.

Lorgar, designed by 
Edgar Skomorowski, is an incredibly detailed multi-part resin model armed with Illuminarum and clad in the Armour of the Word. The newest edition to our Horus Heresy Character Series, Lorgar stands atop a scenic base depicting ritualistic trappings and inscriptions.

Rules and background for the Primarch Lorgar Aurelian and his Legion can be found in 
The Horus Heresy Book Two: Massacre.
"Faith is the soul of any army; be it vested in a primitive religion or enlightened truth. It makes even the least soldier mighty, the craven is remade worthy and through its balm any hardship can be endured. Faith ennobles all the works the soldier undertakes be they so base or vile, and imports to them the golden spark of transcendent purpose."
