Raven Guard Rises: JOYTOY Unveils Corvus Corax and New Warhammer Figures
The master of stealth and rapid strikes has finally emerged from the shadows. JOYTOY has revealed a stunning new figure of Corvus Corax, the Primarch of the XIX Legion, bringing the grim darkness of the Horus Heresy to a 1/18 scale. This release isn’t a solo mission; Corax arrives alongside a comprehensive range of Raven Guard forces, allowing collectors to build a formidable army of airborne assassins and heavy support.
The Primarch of the XIX Legion: Corvus Corax
The new Corvus Corax figure is a detailed representation of the Primarch, featuring his signature alabaster skin and stark, black eyes. Standing over 18cm tall, the figure is designed for maximum poseability with 28 points of articulation.
Corax comes equipped with a full panoply of war to reflect his status as a master of guile and precision. His gear includes:
- Corvidine Talons: These cruelly curved talons can be retracted or extended and include optional blue lightning effects.
- Archaeotech Pistols: The legendary pistols known as Wrath & Justice.
- Talionis: An ornate bullwhip for close-quarters combat.
- Customization: The figure includes two interchangeable heads to vary his expression.
Clad in sable armour festooned with the symbols of the Raven Guard, the figure also features Korvidine Pinions that stretch out behind him, capturing the Primarch’s imposing silhouette.
Expanding the Raven Guard Force
Beyond the Primarch, JOYTOY is releasing several other Raven Guard units to round out the collection. These figures ensure that Corax has the necessary support for any stealth operation.
Airborne Assassins and Snipers
For those who prefer rapid strikes and precision, the range includes:
- Dark Furies: These airborne assassins stand over 12cm tall with 26 points of articulation. They come with their own flight stands, allowing them to be posed in mid-flight, and are armed with Raven’s Talons.
- Mor Deythan: These snipers are clad in advanced MkVI ‘Corvus’ power armour. The figures feature flowing capes and are equipped with Nemesis bolters.
Heavy Support and Infantry
To provide the necessary muscle, the line introduces heavy armor and standard legionaries:
- Contemptor Dreadnought: An imposing 22.5cm tall powerhouse with 32 articulated joints. It is armed with a Gravis autocannon and a brutal chainfist.
- Tactical Marines: The force is completed by a pair of Tactical Marines, consisting of a sergeant in MkVI armour and a Legionary in MkIII ‘Iron’ armour.
Ordering and Availability
The Corvus Corax figure is currently available for pre-order at a price of $139.99 USD. For those ordering through the Warhammer Merch Store, the figure comes with a free T-shirt while stocks last.
Collectors should note that the expected shipping time for the Corvus Corax figure is from July 2026.
