Forge World has knocked it out of the park with the new Emperor's Children Phoenix Terminators. Plus the Iron Hands get a Contemptor and shoulder pads.
I have to say the best part of the AMAZING Phoenix Terminators is, that being Emperors Children, who use the sign of the Aquila, you can use these for ANY Legion. And they are truly stunning. They are £ 45 for a set of 5, which comes out to $ 70 US. Just a few random "III" s in there you need to lose!
Emperor's Children Phoenix Terminators
Taking inspiration and title from the legendary bird of ancient Terran
myth, the Phoenix Guard of the Emperor’s Children formed an elite cadre
within the Legion, serving primarily as the Primarch Fulgrim’s personal
retinue. On the field of battle, the Phoenix Guard were storied as
providing an impenetrable ring of courage and steel, barring the
approach of any enemy who dared challenge their Primarch. They fought in
many spheres of battle, from lightning-swift assault forces to veteran
tactical units, but it was their Terminators who were most feared, their
martial skill all but unmatched across the Legions.
The Emperor’s Children Legion Phoenix Terminators, designed by Keith Robertson, contains five multi-part resin models. Each Terminator is resplendent with fine details and the iconography of the Emperor’s Children Legion. This set is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 30th September.

Iron Hands Contemptor Dreadnought
The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought was once a mainstay of the armoured
might of the Astartes Legions of old. Larger and stronger than standard
pattern Dreadnoughts, the Contemptor’s systems featured many examples of
techno-arcana steeped in the sacred mysteries of the Legio Cybernetica.
Some chapters still boast these war relics amongst their ranks, and
whenever the Contemptor takes to the field of battle, it is an echo of
the power of ancient days.
Model designed by Will Hayes and Israel Gonzalez.
Complete resin kit depicting Iron Hands Legion iconography. Contemptor
Pattern Dreadnought arms shown in some images sold separately. This
model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday
30th September.
The Iron Hands Contemptor is £ 33 or $ 52.
Iron Hands Shoulder Pads
A set of 10 shoulder pads for Mk III power armour featuring Iron Hands Legion iconography. Models designed by Steve Whitehead. 10 Shoulder Pads for £9 or $ 14 US.
I am in for those Termies. Love the look. I think incorporating as many different marks into my 40K force is my goal, while my 30K Raven Guard and Thousand Sons will of course be all what Forge World releases for them.

Correct me if Im wrong, but wasnt the EC the only legion allowed to use the Aquila the way the EC do? Making these EC only anyway.
I like how they're reminiscent of these old guys:

Individuals within other legions were sometimes allowed to bear the Aquila. They would act as a messenger of the Emperor in those cases.
However, what Loken is saying is that since they're all bearing the Aquila, you could easily work them into any 40k Army.
