Swing Batter Batter Swing! Ferrus Manus Is In Town
September 20, 2013 by brennon
Forge World have sent out a new vox-message to the people and this time it involves details of the indomitable Ferrus Manus who will be smacking things about with his hammer come Games Day 2013.
This titanic slayer of all things is one hell of a champion and stands taller and broader than most of his Primach brothers in arms. I wouldn't like to annoy him even on one of his good days.
He also fits in nicely with the masterful sculpt of Fulgrim that they presented to us not long ago. That's quite the awesome duel and certainly one worth reading about if you find the time.
Are all your Horus Heresy nuts excited about picking this fellow up?
Drop a comment and a hammer blow below.

That is a stunning mini. Possibly the best face sculpt I’ve seen, even better than the Infinity Pano mini Father Gabriele.
I think I will be getting this one once it comes available. The sculpt is one of the best ones I’ve seen so far.
He’s stunning – not that the other Primarch sculpts were shabby, but I will be setting some money aside for when he’s released – I MUST paint him! Then it’s a simple matter of converting him over to 2nd Ed – Primarchhammer+ 🙂
Wow… Simply amazing details on the primarch! and what most got my attention was the base with all those dead Emperor’s Children and Iron Hands! This indeed represents the isstvan dropsite massacre in all it’s tense fighting!
I saw this mini, and said to myself, that is one fine miniature. Maybe I should start collecting these primarchs.
Then I went on the FW site and realized that we was going to cost 91 bucks BEFORE shipping in my currency… and wept bitterly.
forget that idea.
He couldnt find a bolt gun ?
The sculpt of the face is brilliant, still will not buy him though
They really should think about inventing sword/hammer launchers for 40k .. bullets would be completely obsolete
Well sicne he is fighting hand to hand with his best friend turned traitor – a boltgun just would not fit really! And the hammer he is wielding was actually made be Fulgrim…..so it is apt.
As for the pricing, well i think it is allright. I have built and painted the other 2, and co sidering the workmanship that went i to casting/sculpting them and the amount of hours they took me to paint, i think they are worth it.
So Fulgrim couldnt find a bolter and made a hammer ? 😉 imagine what a bolt to fulgrims face would do .. quick and easy
SPOILER ALERT****
In Angel Exterminatus it so happens that Fulgrim takes a bolter round to the head (from some kind of sniper bolter thingy rifle), and he lives and is up and going just 2-3 days later or something… so nope 😀
I was thinking of going for an emps children as I love the supporting models on FW but was never a big fan of the Fulgrim sculpt… this fella has got me looking at jumping ship and going for an Iron Hands set up instead. Fantastic model!
i want to get this, especially because i’m starting Iron Hands, but i couldn’t paint a model like that and give it the justice it deserves.
having built the other 3 character sets from the HH series I will be buying this too, ive gotta say once again forge world puts the main GW to shame when it comes to resin models…… I just need to find the courage to paint them now
I wasn’t really tempted by the other primarchs, but I really really want this guy. Just a shame I can’t make it to Games Day this year to buy one. Does anyone know how long after GD last year that Angron was available for general release?
I’m on the edge of my seat for Vulkan. Bring on the father and the primarch! Great mini though.
