Lion El'Jonson | Warhammer 40K Dark Angels Primarch | MOD Shop

The Warhammer 40,000 Lion El'Jonson set is a multipart plastic kit that builds the returned Primarch of the Dark Angels — one of the most significant centerpiece characters in the entire setting. The First. The Son of the Forest. The Master of Caliban. After ten thousand years lost, the Lion strides once more from the shadows like an ancient questing knight, wielding his radiant blade Fealty and shielded by the Emperor's Shield, accompanied by two ever-watchful Watchers in the Dark.

On the tabletop, Lion El'Jonson is an absolute powerhouse and the natural Warlord of any Dark Angels army. As an Epic Hero Primarch, he cleaves through the toughest monsters and elite infantry in melee while his defensive relics keep him standing against punishment that would fell lesser heroes. He's the keystone your Inner Circle and Deathwing forces rally around — and the leader the Inner Circle Companions are sworn to protect.

For hobbyists, this is a true showpiece miniature — a dramatic, knightly figure in ornate, intricately detailed armor, striding over battlefield rubble. He's the kind of model collectors build an army's color scheme around, and a rewarding centerpiece project whether you display him or field him.

What's in the box

• 1 multipart plastic Lion El'Jonson miniature, accompanied by 2 Watchers in the Dark on his scenic base
• 1x Citadel 60mm Round Base (modeled with battlefield debris)
• Supplied unpainted and requires assembly — we recommend Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints

Build & customization options

• The Lion is armed with his radiant power sword Fealty and the Emperor's Shield — the iconic wargear of his return
• A choice of four head options to personalize your Primarch: a matured bare head, a hooded bare head, a crested helm, and a hooded helm
• As befits a unique character, the model is single-pose, but the head choice and a careful paint scheme let you make your Lion distinctly your own (the heads can be magnetized if you'd like to swap them)
• Two Watchers in the Dark complete the dramatic scene at his feet

Who this kit is for
