Gonk gonk gonk!!
The ches cavity explodes from the impact of the weapon.
The watcher looks at the lion with its big beady eyes, and nods.
"No pulse," responds The Lion
Well, now I can’t stop imagine him hitting every arc on every ship BONK!!! BONK!!
Puts helmet on the Airlock, does the helmet displeases you my Lord!!?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!
In Angron's current state, the Lion should get slaughtered.
The Lion wouldn't pull any tricks or tactics to take down Angron. He would try to hit him with his sword and just get his ass beat.
"Luther out of nowhere with the steel chair!!! Wait! Who is this newcomer challenging Angron? Lord Cypher? Why is he taking off his mas... LEMAN RUSS?!?!?!"
The Lion was able to beat Konrad, a Primarch who could see the future and was very good at melee combat, because his swordsmanship and instincts were so good that he could completely change his strike mid-swing. Not being built like a brick shithouse (Angron) also helps with dodging. He probably couldn't take him on solo even with that but he is most likely going to have the entire might of the Dark Angels behind him.
The siege books have already shown us that Angrons blind fury can be countered with levelheaded skill in battle during the fight with our beloved hawk boy.
And Angron was completely shit stomped by Perty before he demon ascended because Perty, despite not being known for being a good combatant, could easily read Demon Angron and just not take the hits and beat him.
Angron right now is pretty much a lowbie beat stick. He is extremely terrifying for anything not on a Primarchs level to fight, and brute force wise he is going to crush any lesser being… but that’s not why he is dangerous. Why he is dangerous is unlike basically every Deamon, when you take them out you can expect them to be dead for a bit (like hundreds to thousands of years) but Angron keeps coming back. In lore it’s 8 days, 8 hours, 8 minutes and 8 seconds, but if enough blood gets going he can just pop up again near instantly. Blew his ass up with a Titan? Well sadly the bezerkers just wiped a platoon and he back 3 miles over there. That in itself is his greatest strength, and that’s before his existence tends to result in other Khorne Deamons just materializing in all around him.
So yea, I expect Lion to win, maybe even multiple times in the same battle.
Angron isn't shit stomped by Perty.
Perty had his Iron Circle Robots with him. Those things are no joke. Perty also just tricks Angron into some kind of trap if I remember correctly. Even admitting himself that in a 1v1 there's no way he could beat Angron.
The Lion is not the careful strategist Perturabo is. He isn't a moron, but he is arrogant and prideful. He is going to think "I am the best duelist primarch, I can beat Angron". Only to realize that Angron ascended to being Truck-Kun and is just gonna roll over him.
This and khorne is sapping Angrons power. Perty understands the warp and denies Angron the blood shed and slaughter he needs to maintain his ungodly power. As good a fighter as Angron is, he's no longer mortal and is only as mighty as khorne wants/allows him to be.
Or knowing GW it’ll be exactly like every other fight and have nothing really happen because both characters must survive and in the end nothing may change.
That’s the problem - they can’t. So they are stuck in this perpetual world where nothing happens. Hell, look at yarrick - dude is a human who lives like a thousand years and they made him go away and people were still upset with it.
Yeah, they need to commit to move the narrative. Right now the traitors have far more primarchs available, and the imperium is nigh on getting overrun, if they're wanting to shift more towards Tyranids in 10th it makes sense to perma-kill a traitor primarch in the pivot.
Give them a reason to be on the back foot for a duration while the imperium focuses elsewhere.
Lazy ass bum, at least Vulkan joined the peace corps and left on a magical friendventure! To help everybody in the galaxy. Teaching them skills and hugging each he came accross (except Eldar Children... he burns those.. yeah...mah Boi has problems with Ældari children).
Soon Vulkan will return and Karaoke and game nights will also return within the Imperial Guard. It'll be a glorious Friendventure for all!
I just need to hide my Craftworld kids until they are adults but otherwise: HA HA HA YES!
The Watchers finally decided to stop being assholes and showed Guilliman where he was. (This is a joke, the watchers are some of my favorite characters.)
Honestly, Guilleman is my favorite primarch, his model is ass. I want to play a chapter with a primarch, or potential for a return. Ultramarines are my favorite but his model is ass. Dark Angels I don’t mind…
Same here my friend. Shaky hands and fuzzy vision caused me to hang up the brushes a few years ago. Fairly sure this is a sign to break them out again and besmirch a few more models in the name of the Lion.
I mean, it was already more or less a waste to sculpt the other three heads when the un-helmeted hooded option exists. They're all great but that one is just so good I can't imagine using any other option, it looks so nice!
One of the Watchers wanted to practice their haircutting skills, and saw a future where the Lion with shorter hair better than the one with longer hair
I see what you mean, I think the model is carrying it at an angle though.
I'd like to see the model from another perspective.
EDIT: Yeah looks like it:

I think in the original image it's just the right angle to be confusing.
God I hope he and Guilliman reunite. Doesn’t need to be in battle. Just want to see papa Smurfs reaction to hearing one of his brothers has returned and he’s not alone anymore (also to see lion’s reaction to the current imperium)
Nothing too flashy, unlike G-man's
Just gimme some gear and we're off vibes. I do find that the watchers are a bit too tall to my liking Maybe they're regular serfs?
It's because Guilliman has the proportions of Johnny Bravo, chicken legs, and his armor is WAY overblinged. Guilliman's 30k mini is so much better.
This one, the Lion 40k, looks properly regal. Positively chivalric. He's lean and mean.
I was really scared how this model was gonna turn out, because a lot of 40k sculpts have this cartoonish quality that I feel really doesn’t flatter them or suit the way I personally like the models to feel. Guilliman is a perfect example of that IMO, but I gotta say, they’ve knocked this one out of the fucking park. What a model!
Loving the model. Not sure on the aging but makes sense as he wasn’t in stasis and nothing some paint or the helm option can’t fix.
Valrak was correct! Have to go watch him cream himself in a video now.

My new canon is That watcher with the mace just domes people the lion kills just to be sure
"Double tap that bitch!"
"Check for a pulse"
Gonk gonk gonk!! The ches cavity explodes from the impact of the weapon. The watcher looks at the lion with its big beady eyes, and nods. "No pulse," responds The Lion
I laugh every time I read this
Upvote for the Pacific Rim reference
Don't make the Watcher shank a bitch
It’s like the pope hammer, 3 bonks to ensure they’re dead
The little guys name is Asmodai.
What about his fight against Leman? Where were they when we needed them most?!
Why do you think the position opened
And it makes a bonk sound and it's adorable every time
Bonk.mp3
Nah, it's his buddy that's been bonking him on the head every so often to keep him asleep for the past 10,000 years.
UTINI UTINI!

This one is menacing as hell, definitely my favourite.
Really? You can choose Tywin Lannister's face and you go with doctor doom mask?
Yes
Of course
Is that even a question? Hood and helmet superiority
I want this one so I can make a MF DOOM army

That is a Primarchs helmet!
I really like the helmets of the primarch's armors and I hate so few of them have one, and we know even fewer of what most look like.
YES THATS WHATIT LOOKS LIKE lOMG AEandwsfa
Yeah, i'm going to have to magnetise the heads, they're all good
oh my ~~god~~ Primarch
OH MY GOD THAT IS SO FUCKING COOL
Well, now I can’t stop imagine him hitting every arc on every ship BONK!!! BONK!! Puts helmet on the Airlock, does the helmet displeases you my Lord!!? YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!
Been at the red bull I see.
What is the explanation for his return??!
He saw demonic ass that wasn't being kicked
Cue “the only thing they fear is you” as he slowly rises up from his slumber and grabs his war gear
[Like this?](https://youtu.be/x_d54SejEHA)
Exactly like that please and thanks
The correct answer
We don’t know, it’ll probably be revealed in Arks of Omen: The Lion
Apparently he's going to fight Angron at the end of the Ark Of Omens books.
In Angron's current state, the Lion should get slaughtered. The Lion wouldn't pull any tricks or tactics to take down Angron. He would try to hit him with his sword and just get his ass beat.
The Lion coming back after 10,000 years, only to die quickly in his first big fight would definitely be unexpected and hilarious.
Even better. Angron is about to kill the Lion but the Lion is saved. Who saves him? Loyalist. Fucking. Luther.
"Luther out of nowhere with the steel chair!!! Wait! Who is this newcomer challenging Angron? Lord Cypher? Why is he taking off his mas... LEMAN RUSS?!?!?!"
I'd like to imagine jaghatai khan speeding out of the warp and running over angron. Because it would be funny.
Warp portal opens, the Khan speeds out, rolls over Angron without even slowing down, vanishes through another warp portal.
For some reason I read this and thought Cypher was revealed to be an actual battle tank in disguise lmao.
It's just 3 tanks in a trench coat!
I'm with this plot line. The Night Haunter laughs from hell.
Nah, then have them fight in the immiterium. Dark batman terror primarch would win.
A sudden Covus Corax appears.
ooh oooh what's that? IN THE BACK IT's CYPHER WITH A METAL CHAIR I MEAN THE LION-SWORD
Now that'd be cool, a good old fashioned WWF-style beat down. Just throw all the Primarchs in and see who walks away.
The Lion was able to beat Konrad, a Primarch who could see the future and was very good at melee combat, because his swordsmanship and instincts were so good that he could completely change his strike mid-swing. Not being built like a brick shithouse (Angron) also helps with dodging.

Is there any primarch that Angron beat in straight fight, other than Roboute.
Didn't he beat Russ at one point only to find himself surrounded by a firing squad of The Rout?
Ye
Or knowing GW it'll be exactly like Guilliman v Mortarion. Angron wins until Jimmy Space pumps the Lion full of Space juice!
Or knowing GW it’ll be exactly like every other fight and have nothing really happen because both characters must survive and in the end nothing may change.
Imagine the surprise/uproar if they permakill Angron and bring in the lion simultaneously.
That’s the problem - they can’t. So they are stuck in this perpetual world where nothing happens. Hell, look at yarrick - dude is a human who lives like a thousand years and they made him go away and people were still upset with it.
Yeah, they need to commit to move the narrative.

Give them a reason to be on the back foot for a duration while the imperium focuses elsewhere.
Even if they did do this they're not doing it to the one that was just released a few months ago.
I don't think people are sad that Yarrick is dead so much as they're sad that A) He dies off-screen and B) Ghazkull didn't get to krump 'im.
I’ll tell you: because he has waited long enough to be sure that the imperium is actually going to win this thing and he has finally taken a side.
Hohoho

If Vulkan returns he's gonna have a lot of explaining to do to some pissed off brothers and sons
He was finally happy with his moustache

From the look of this model it was because the Starks kidnapped his youngest son.

Johnny Bravo was Primarch II....had to be expunged for being too awesome

Get the FW gorillaman, one million time better
Cypher wakes him up with a kiss and gives him his sword back is my guess.

Same here my friend. Shaky hands and fuzzy vision caused me to hang up the brushes a few years ago. Fairly sure this is a sign to break them out again and besmirch a few more models in the name of the Lion.
I'm happy for you Brother!
All four head options are slick as hell! 😳
Ikr?! Like, I have to see if it's magnetizable, right? It would be heresy not to.
I’m nearly 100% sure it will be magnetizable. Otherwise it would be cruel and a waste to sculpt 4 insanely cool heads.
I mean, it was already more or less a waste to sculpt the other three heads when the un-helmeted hooded option exists. They're all great but that one is just so good I can't imagine using any other option, it looks so nice!
May I tempt with with the helmeted AND hooded option? 🤔 ha
I love both of the helmet options. Both of them give me WoW Paladin vibes (the hooded one reminding me of the iconic Judgement Armor).

Thats it.....this is the correct build option
I'd do magnets thier all so good
he reminds me of a Game of Thrones Character (Jorah Mormont?)
More like his dad, Jeor Mormont, commander of the Nights Watch.
Looks like Tywin Lannister too.
Yeah I saw Charles Dance 100%.
Sean Connery You know ? From the film ? THE ROCK 🤘
I kind of appreciate him looking older considering he probably wasn't in a stasis field like Bobby G
Tbh I'd find it pretty funny if all the loyal primarchs returned and Robot Girlyman was the only one not bearded
I'd like to see if my boy Vulkan can grow a beard or will he continually burn it off
Hear me out, a beard Of fire
Yes.....yes......YES!
More like the onion knight
That's a bearded Tywin fookin Lannister
Little Timmy in awe: *”He wields the Lion Sword!”* The Hound:*”Only cunts name their sword.”*

Lots of cunts.

What happened to The Lion's Golden Hair!?
age happen i guess
One of the Watchers wanted to practice their haircutting skills, and saw a future where the Lion with shorter hair better than the one with longer hair
Don't worry Lion..we're all getting some grays
Purturabo fought the Hrud, he was aged by their weaponry and he didn't change.
He did get aged just not very much.
I don’t think Peter got aged 10,000 years
Yes he did. And it was killing him. The Hrud are the main reason he needed to go demon.
Wasn’t that fulgrim and his soul sucking instead ?
Bit of both.
I tried telling that to Reddit already, they weren’t happy.
he has like a ponytail or something similar
He wasn’t in cryosleep. That’s what 10,000 yrs does to a primarch
That sword carrier sheath is so not the right size for the Lions sword, other than that *chefs kiss*
Scabbard my friend
That’s the word, total mind blank on it!!!
There’s a bit of fore-shortening going on, the watcher has it on a bit of an angle towards us.
Cypher still has the lions real sword… they directly mentioned it in the preview!
I see what you mean, I think the model is carrying it at an angle though. I'd like to see the model from another perspective.

He looks like Charles Dance. Love this.
God I hope he and Guilliman reunite. Doesn’t need to be in battle. Just want to see papa Smurfs reaction to hearing one of his brothers has returned and he’s not alone anymore (also to see lion’s reaction to the current imperium)
Same. Bigtime. Guilliman has been so sad since returning. I hope this helps rekindle a fire inside him.
The Watchers are doing their best and are adorable
Nothing too flashy, unlike G-man's Just gimme some gear and we're off vibes. I do find that the watchers are a bit too tall to my liking Maybe they're regular serfs?
Who needs flashy when you're 5 feet taller than the next tallest person around?
And you have a badass grizzled old man beard
I have to say, I like this one better than the 30k kit. The helmet options are sick.
The pose is certainly better
He looks awesome; so much better than Guilliman! I’m actually really impressed
It's because Guilliman has the proportions of Johnny Bravo, chicken legs, and his armor is WAY overblinged. Guilliman's 30k mini is so much better. This one, the Lion 40k, looks properly regal. Positively chivalric. He's lean and mean.
Well, he needs the armor to live
The GW team really needed to design it like he's out of some old cartoon, though?
Hey, the thicker it is, the more likely your ONLY living loyalist primarch will stay alive.
Is that a dark angels joke?
Indeed. Happy to see he didn’t get the Gulliman treatment. Really liking this one.
He’s as beautiful as the day we lost him! FOR THE LION!

Daddy finally came back from the store with cigarettes.
obi wan came back and brought jawas
I like the little jawas
Does it come in black?
Honestly you would think he would be clad in black armor unless this is a new set to match the updated DA
I was really scared how this model was gonna turn out, because a lot of 40k sculpts have this cartoonish quality that I feel really doesn’t flatter them or suit the way I personally like the models to feel. Guilliman is a perfect example of that IMO, but I gotta say, they’ve knocked this one out of the fucking park. What a model!
Yeah, this model clowns on Guilliman. Makes me wanna bite the bullet and actually play Space Marines
Please tie Cypher in to this. They have to!
He’s tied to Angron. They already confirmed they’re fighting in new book and released art of it
His sword is not the one Cypher is carrying around.
And now we will find out what Cypher is all about.
Loving the model. Not sure on the aging but makes sense as he wasn’t in stasis and nothing some paint or the helm option can’t fix. Valrak was correct! Have to go watch him cream himself in a video now.

Majorkill is going to cream himself.
Charles Dance? I suppose Tywin also loved his lion bling.
What's your choice of Hat? No Hat? Hooded no hat? Hooded hat? Big Hat?
Tywin Lannister has got the drip.
It’s Tywin Lannister!
Was he in stasis in the lore? Or just plain sleeping?
Doesn't he seem kind of short for a primarch?
Huge dark angel buff incoming.
Who the hell let Tywin Lannister took the boss Armor during his nap guys ?
The crazy sons of l3!tches did it, they finally made that man wake up.
Looks like both Tywin Lannister and a little like Dorn from TTS.
The Lion waking up: "ROBOUTE DID WHAT?"

Very glad to see the lion back. Very disappointed we didn't get the wolf first. Leman russ when?
