Review: Limited Edition Forge World Terminator Praetor (Plus Conversion)

by | Jul 2, 2016

Last week was a first for Games Workshop, Forge World available to buy in store! whether it was an attempt to gauge interest, or a unique event, it was a great opportunity to review another limited model.


At £25, it's about standard fayre for a Forge World Terminator-sized character (and not far off plastic). The model comes in a giant suit of Tartaros Terminator Armour, and is armed with a Paragon Blade. It comes in eight parts, including a semi-scenic base. The model also comes with rules for its use on games of Horus Heresy (40k rules were given out if you spent over £60 in store).


Weirdly the arms aren't totally separate: one arm up to the elbow is attached to the torso, which comes with a separate chest plate.


Whilst there aren't any real posing opportunities in the kit with major work, it does have a great pose: the model striding forth with blade in hand.


The model is quite large, easily dwarfing my Forge World psyker...









...and even Space Marines. Note that this space marine has had a leg extension and a large flaming power pack!

As you should all know by now, I cannot leave a model unconverted. This wasn't my only purchase of the week, ad I also bought a Burning Chariot set. I'm sure you can guess what happened next..

...This! Another suitable imposing Sorcerer for the Thousand Sons. Using parts from the Burning Chariot (as well as a fantasy chaos lord's head) I've made a suitable chaotic, and daemonic, denizen of the Warp.


The model will help tie in my allied force of daemons with the Thousand Sons. Fluff wise this is a powerful summoner who's responsible for the daemons appearance. In-game it functions as a normal Burning chariot (or a Herald where needed), but with the option to use it on foot.

Overall it is a model that converts really well (even for chaos). Next up is paint, and I imagine that this model will be great to paint. If you're one of the lucky few to grab one, you have a great model that will look fantastic in any Space Marine force, heresy or otherwise.
