25th Anniversary Figure (anyone speak French please?)

Make of this what you will chaps:



Something to do with the 25th Anniversary of Rouge Trader (even I can make that much out), but alas my language skills derived from second-hand Latin are somewhat lacking.

Also:

The Lord of the Rings - The Battle Game
5 New Supplements and a ton of figures

Warhammer
Extension of the Civil War Series

Warhammer 40,000

Can't. Wait. [/deadpan] But if there's more 25th Anniversary goodies around, then it could prove interesting.

Translation:

Birthday present

limited quantities.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Rogue Trader's release, which forever changed the face of wargaming, we are going to immortalise in Citadel Finecast the very first star of Warhammer 40,000.

The symbolic cover illustration of Rogue Trader left no doubt; in the far future, there is only war.

In the center of the image, a Crimson Fists captain holding an Ork head.

Juan Diaz has sculpted a model based on this Space Marine captain, brandishing his sinister trophy with his power fist, a plasma pistol in the other hand.

The whole includes a scenic base with his proud Crimson Fists banner in the background.

You can also place the model on a normal base, so that your captain can lead a squad of Crimson Fists into the heart of battle.

Citadel finecast, 26 euros, on sale on February the 25th.

I'm hyped, can't wait for more goodies either!

Makes sense they'd do this as they did the same with Harry the Hammer for Fantasys 25th anniversary a few years back.

[Pox]

still much more excited about the WFB continuation of the civil war stuff that has been pretty darn good so far.

If that wasn't a pun, I will be sore disappointed, EB.

On topic it shares my opinion of the WD subscription special models - looks nice, but it wouldn't see any use with me. Are they implying/saying it's painted already or just sculpted to be a crimson fist?

[edmundblack]

Indeed. It was the bastard child of Rogue Trader, but alas nobody played it. Still, anniversary mini.

At least your name drop paid it lip service....... I'll get my coat

[edmundblack]

Gotta look purty, you know that Bara. Anyway, some rouge on a Beaky might look ... different.

[BrokenWing]

meh...crimson fist stuff, whatever.

[Brother-Captain Sharp]

Correction! Imperial Fist stuff, yah!

Ill pick him up just for the banner, I think. That'd be great for my IF command squad.

[BrokenWing]

Lol. I suppose it being Finecast does make it easier to convert to something else.
