Forge World Newsletter #122

In today’s issue of the Forge World Newsletter you’ll be able to take a look at brand new Tallarn Desert Raiders, more Terminator shoulder pads, some completely new Dreadnought weapon arms and a re-release of two more models from our classic figurine range.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thx,

Siege Dreadnought
First up, the Space Marines get two new weapons for their Dreadnoughts. The first is ideal for taking on Tyranids or other horde style armies – a Dreadnought mounted Inferno Gun! Sending huge gouts of flame arcing across the battlefield, this weapon will cause any general pause for thought. The second weapon is a more specialised piece of equipment – the Dreadnought Assault Drill. Designed to chew its way through rock and plascrete, the Assault Drill makes short work of steel armour too. I’d hate to think what it would do to flesh! It’s design is intended for use against bunkers and other emplacements, where it’s rotating drill would bore its way through the wall. Once the drill penetrates the defences the drill opens revealing a flamer nozzle, which when used in a confined space would be devastating to the defenders hidden inside. The new Dreadnought weapons are available for both the Mk IV and Mk V Dreadnoughts. Rules will be available on our website soon (after Warwick finishes the last tweaks to the Taros Campaign book).

Decorated for Valour
Also for the Space Marines this issue, we have three new sets of Terminator Shoulder Pads to distinguish your elite troops. Having seen these start to appear in people’s armies around Head Office, these shoulder pads really do make Terminator Squads stand out as the ornate and sacred items that they represent. The first set of pads will enable Blood Angel players to decorate their forces, our second set are destined to adorn the shoulders of Salamander Marines and the third set are the much called for Dark Angel “Deathwing” pads. More shoulder pads will be released soon.

In Defence of The Emperor
Following on from his recent work on our new Tallarn Roughriders, Mark Bedford has recently finished a range of new heavy weapon teams to give essential supporting firepower to Tallarn regiments. All of the new Tallarn Heavy Weapon Squads include a veritable pile of accessories which can be used to personalise your models. Apart from the usual ammo pouches and water bottles, one of the most striking new parts made for the Tallarns are their “Tallarn Pattern” lasguns, laspistols and knives.

Re-forged and Renewed
Next we have the first of our re-releases for today; the large scale bust of a Hormagaunt forcing its way through a steel deck plate. Measuring in at 125mm/5 inches wide and 80mm/3.25 inches tall this single part model looks like being quite fun to paint with a tremendously savage face picked out in great detail. Add to that the taut muscles in the neck and the talon ripping into the floor it all adds up to make more of a diorama than just a bust. Sean Green’s Bretonnian Knight could hardly be more different. He stand tall and proud (or would if he wasn’t a bust 85mm/3.5 inches high), the epitome of chivalry. Ready to defend Nation and Maidens against those who would wish them harm. He also has a superb Moustache! These two models are only available in limited quantities and will only be available while stock lasts.
