Ghal Maraz goes PRIME TIME – That or Sanguinius just got the first Plastic Primarch Conversion Kit ever!

It’s Hammer Time at Games Workshop! The Celestant-Prime model is on the way and it looks pretty cool…

It appears that the model can be built with the arms in the down or up position so it’s a little tweakable. I think he looks as tall as Nagash does and if the rumors were true about the rules he’s going to bring the pain! Even still I can’t help but think with the right head swap and a touch of conversion work and green stuff the Blood Angel’s players have a pretty cool Sanguinius model!

300px-Blpz07By head swap I meant the demon head for the Scepter…

Also – I know not everyone has read the fluff but I haven’t seen anyone talking about who they think the Celestant-Prime IS/WAS. I have a theory and I think it’s none other than Karl “I-Ride-A-Griffon-To-Work” Franz!

My Hair-Brained Theory & Evidence:

  • He was the reincarnated Sigmar during the End-times.
  • He’s wielded Ghal Maraz before – with much success.
  • He’s a hero of Man.

and we have this description from GW: “A great king and guardian of men even in mortal life, he has been strengthened by a prodigious infusion of Sigmar’s divine might

It all points to one man:  Luthor Huss The Emperor Karl Franz.
