Prime 1 Studio and Games Workshop are proud to present Premium Masterline Warhammer 40 000: Gabriel Angelos from Dawn of War III. Captain Angelos is widely considered to be the finest living example of his Chapter and one of the notable heroes in the Chapter’s whole history. He was born on Cyrene, one of the Blood Ravens recruiting worlds, which was destroyed by an Exterminatus ordered by Angelos himself for reasons undisclosed shortly before Dawn of War. Gabriel Angelos is a long-standing commander of the 3rd Company, renowned for his victory against the forces of Chaos during the Tartarus campaign and another solid defeat delivered to the Tau Empire in the Targa system between Dawn of War and Dawn of War II. He has a reputation of delivering success even when facing impossible odds.

I've been waiting for a 40k line from someone since I got into this hobby, and desperate as I am I still don't want this :| I'll hope others now DOWIII based will come our or just stick with HMO hoping they don't go the same route.

Disappointed with the exclusive and the price. I am passing. I think I could pay $1500 for a statue if it was my absolute favorite like Logan Grimmnar, but not for some third rate chapter from a game I don't care about.

That is going to be the challenge here: everyone has their own favorite chapter and character or species and one statue will never satisfy everyone. This is why expensive 40k statues will fail...because even among the 40k fans, there is such a wide divergence of interests.

For me it doesn't have to be a favorite. But Gabriel is a definite no. He's also pricey then most others (or at least should be) because of his crazy big size (even compared to new primaris marines) for *DOW3* reasons.

I await that SOB though, hopefully they can get it released.

This was my observation a few pages back when this line was announced. The problem with any WH40K statue is going to be the limited appeal.

The kind of person who will buy this line will be heavily into the game, and the price of one statue equals a full army (including Forge World products)....

I really can't imagine anyone deciding to buy this over a full gaming army!?! Can you?

As far as the Marvel or DC contingent, well, you can get a lot of comic character statues for less than this, so that's a done deal!

I think P1 has dropped the ball on this. Too pricey for and obscure (statue wise) I.P. whose products will directly compete with each other rather than compliment.

I'd certainly shell out for WH40k statues over an army, just not this one ;p
