Welcome, fellow explorers, to the vast and intricate universe of Warhammer 40K where epic tales of valor, betrayal, and destiny unfold.
At the heart of these sagas stand the Primarchs, the Emperor of Mankind’s demigod sons, whose legacies are etched across the galaxy.
There are currently 6 new Primarch Miniatures from Games Workshop and an additional 18, older, resin models from Forge World.
In the sprawling cosmos of W40K, the Primarchs are more than characters; they are the pillars upon which the fate of the galaxy rests.
Created by the Emperor in a grand experiment to lead humanity’s Great Crusade, each Primarch was whisked away by dark forces, only to rise on distant worlds.
Their eventual reunification with the Emperor and their legions marked the beginning of an era, shaping the Imperium and sowing the seeds of the future, for better or worse.
Imagine holding a piece of the galaxy’s fate in your hands. That’s the allure of collecting Primarch miniatures.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Games Workshop and Forge World have transformed these iconic figures from lore into tangible art.
Each miniature is a masterpiece, embodying the essence and individuality of its Primarch, from their armor to their expressions.
Initially, Forge World took the helm in bringing the Primarchs to life, offering detailed resin models that captured the essence of these legendary figures.
These initial miniatures set a high standard, showcasing incredible detail and fidelity to the source material.
As the demand for these iconic characters grew, Games Workshop expanded the range, introducing new Primarch miniatures that bridge the gap between the Horus Heresy and the current 40K timeline.
These new releases not only reflect the evolving lore but also incorporate advancements in miniature design and production technology, offering both veteran collectors and newcomers the chance to own a piece of W40K history.
