Welcome to the latest Forge World Newsletter. In today’s issue, amongst other things, I have details on ‘Imperial Armour Update 2006’ to share with you, some new 40K terrain pieces for your battlefields and a fleet list for our popular Battlefleet Gothic range of Tau spaceships. First of all we have a great new conversion set for some Chaos Renegade Militia for you to take a closer look at. Thx, Ewen Little, Forge World.
Chaos Renegade Militia
Coming straight from the forthcoming Imperial Armour Volumes 5 and 6, the new Chaos Renegade Militia pack contains ten replacement head and torso pieces to convert Cadian Imperial Guardsmen into corrupted pawns of the Dark Powers. Complete with tattered uniforms and heavy breathing equipment to pump mind-corrupting chemicals and spores into the lungs of the deluded minions of the Ruinous Powers, these pieces were originally designed to be used along with the Cadian Shock Troops sprues, but, as we’ve discovered after playing with a few other kits, they have almost unlimited possibilities for conversions. Combining them with the Catachan and Warhammer Chaos Marauder sprues creates some very intimidating opponents for your enemy whilst, with a little bit of work, combining them with the Space Marine Scouts sprues can create some great infiltrators for the Alpha Legion. If you prefer your chaotic hordes a little more mutated, why not combine them with the Chaos Mutations and Warhammer Chaos Beastmen sprues? The possibilities don’t just end with the denizens of Chaos either, Savlar Chem-dogs and any Guard regiment using the Chem-inhalers doctrine, would be represented brilliantly by these pieces just by filing away or filling the Chaos Stars and raiding your bits box may provide you with all the bits you need to create some very sinister Servitors for your Inquisitor’s retinue.
Imperial Armour Update 2006
The new ‘Imperial Armour Update 2006’ book is quite different from previous editions as it brings together all the rules for the Imperial models and kits released since IA Volumes 1 and 2 and any ‘alien’ or non-Imperial models and kits not covered in IA Volumes 3 and 4. The book also contains all the vehicles, aircraft and monstrous creatures from the old paperback book ‘Imperial Armour 2’, updating them where necessary and bringing them into line with new Codexes. ‘Imperial Armour Update 2006’ is packed with forty-seven Imperial, Ork, Chaos, Tau, Necron and Eldar vehicle variants, as well as monstrous Tyranid and Ork creatures. The link below will show you a picture of the front cover so that you know what to look out for and a scan of the contents page which clearly shows how comprehensively ‘Imperial Armour Update 2006’ supplements the encyclopaedic Imperial Armour Volumes 1 through 4.
40K Tank Traps
Mark Bedford is a keen gamer as well as a model maker and he recently completed some new 40K Tank Traps and Sewer Entrances for use in 40K and Cities of Death games. Mark wanted his Tank Traps to have a heavier, more obviously 40K look than the older set Forge World have made for the last few years, and I for one think he has succeeded and given us a difficult choice between the two sets. Each new 40K Tank Traps set contains three pieces which, by using several sets, can be joined together to form complex defences and channel enemy vehicles towards your waiting heavy weapons teams.
Cities of Death – Sewer Rats Entrances
The Cities of Death supplement adds that extra dimension and character to playing games of 40K in a savage urban environment. For me, having models and scenery to accurately represent the Stratagems makes the game more realistic and enjoyable, so I was quite happy to discover Mark working on a set of Sewer Entrances for one of my favourite Stratagems; Sewer Rats! Having parts of your fighting force safe from enemy fire deep underground until they burst out from under the very feet of the enemy and blasting them to bits is a very nice thing.

Imperial Armour Volume 4 – Q&A
A few months ago Forge World released ‘Imperial Armour Volume 4 – The Anphelion Project’, the second of our large, super-detailed 40K campaign books. Quite a few avid readers and gamers have contacted Warwick with questions, some of which we received several times. With this in mind, it made sense for Warwick to write up a Q&A for the most popular questions, .pdf it and pop it onto the Forge World website. Here it is!
BFG Tau Fleet List
Next today we have the long awaited Tau fleet list for use with Battlefleet Gothic. In this .pdf document you will find brief background details on each ship, rules for each and the organisation list required to field entire fleets of Tau spaceships in games of Battlefleet Gothic.
Games Day UK
Forge World’s next show is the biggest and busiest of them all, Games Day UK at the NEC in Birmingham on Sunday September 24th. At a busy event like a Games Day Forge World can run out of some models very quickly, but we are happy to offer a free reservation service. Having what you want to buy from Forge World reserved for you means you don’t have to rush over first thing because we pick and pack your order a few days before the show and it is sitting waiting for you at our dedicated reservation collection point marked with a big red sign and flashing orange light. To place a reservation, just email us your name and a list of what you want to buy to forgeworld@games-workshop.co.uk or give us a call on 0115 916 8177 and we shall take care of the rest. Reservations must reach us by Monday September 18th so we have enough time to pack them up for you.
