A Forge World Monster Pops Up Ahead Of The Horus Heresy Weekender
February 2, 2015 by brennon
Forge World have another bulletin for today and this time it's another preview for the Horus Heresy Weekender. See what you make of this hulking beast of a miniature that looks like it would slice and dice his way through a Resident Evil game never mind an Imperial regiment...
There's no word on exactly what this is but it's certainly an interesting monster that while looking like it should belong to the traitor legions doesn't show any kind of terrible marking or mutation. I can only surmise that this is something for the Adeptus Mechanicum.
I'm sure those of you more enlightened as to the ways of the Horus Heresy can help us fill in the blanks on this one but for now enjoy this chap who would probably be quite a useful employee in a slaughter house. How else do the kebabs get made?
What do you think?

This might be one them Ogryns they promised us.
Shape definitely says Ogryn to me
That could be one heavily armored ogryn.
Several Horus Heresy novels mention genhanced abhumans with bulked-out, augmented physiology and weapons directly grafted to their bodies that are used as shock troops by the Mechanicus and other factions. They sound like a sort of proto-Ogryn whenever I see them referenced, and these models certainly fit the description.
No maybe about it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is an Auxilia Ogryn Charonite … and he’s beautiful 🙂
Awesome shredding arm contraption thingy
I so misread the fourth word there which made it sound even more terrifying!
Lol!
When I read your comment I was like “Whaaaa…Ohhhh lol”
Maybe I should of worded it differently lol XD
Definitely seems mechanicum and ogyrn-esque. Looking good.
However as with so many sci-fi and fantasy minis – they don’t consider the poor fella should he get an itch mid battle/shift
Looks Awesome!, think I need some;)
Hopefully I can pick some up this weekend 🙂
According to the tinternet, it’s from the Solar Auxilia, Auxilia Ogryn Charonite Squad. Ogryn that have been biochemically and cybernetically altered with techonolgy that was deemed unholy and possibly xeno in origin.
The claws are rather nasty and there are some rules that turn them into psychotic killers.
Rules should be in Horus Heresy book 4, part of the Solar Auxilia.
Hmm – I’ll have to be the dissenting voice here, but I’m not too keen on it. Maybe I just have rose-tinted-nostalgia goggles on . . . .
The detail looks nice and I’m glad they hid the face which is IMO the weakest part of the new standard Ogryns.
