Forge World Newsletter #123

another Imperial Armour book about to be released…

++++ MESSAGE BEGINS ++++

Today’s Forge World Newsletter contains details on several new releases for both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, but our main feature is on our third big Imperial Armour book which is due to be released in the next few weeks. We also have some new experimental rules for a few of our 40K and BFG models for you to download and try out too.

Imperial Armour III – Huge new Imperial Armour book off to print!
For pretty much the last twelve months Warwick and Tony have been working on the latest in our range of large Imperial Armour books. ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3: The Taros Campaign’ is not an encyclopaedia of rules and history about Tau armoured vehicles, oh no! To try to give you an idea of what you can expect from this huge 320 page book here is a brief synopsis: ‘When the Imperium discovers that the Planetary Governor of Taros has been illicitly trading with the alien Tau Empire, selling valuable mineral resources, the Imperium are forced to remove the traitor. The Tau respond in force and the desert mining world of Taros plunges into war. First the Space Marines, then Imperial Guard regiments from Tallarn, Elysia and Cadia move onto Taros. This book details the history of that war, the units involved, the strategies employed, the battles won and lost. Inside you’ll find, in exacting detail, information on Tau vehicles, aircraft, their allies and the Tau Fleet. Also covered are new fighting machines of the Imperium. There is background, interior details, technical specifications, illustrations, colour schemes and rules for using all these vehicles and aircraft in games of Warhammer 40,000. Imperial Armour Volume 3 is heavily illustrated with 120 colour and black and white pictures, 110 full colour vehicle profiles, over 80 technical drawings, plus organisation charts, tactics and scenarios to add new depth to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. There are also army lists for the Elysian Drop Troops, the Tau forces in Epic and additions to the Tallarn Imperial Guard regiments and Tau forces in Warhammer 40,000. Appendices contain all the rules you will need to use Super-heavy vehicles and aircraft in your games, as well as detailing matters as Tau colour schemes, markings and aircraft variants.’ We believe that this book will be a great read for anyone with an interest in Warhammer 40,000. It isn’t just 40K; there are also rules for Epic 40,000 and BFG in there too. On the link below we have a picture of the front cover of ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3’ and the contents page. In the next Forge World Newsletter we hope to be able to show you some of the pages from the book and to give you a release date.

Death from the Skies
Being a loyal Space Marine collector/sometimes player, I think I might have to give our resident Inquisitor a call because I must admit that I really, REALLY like Daren Parrwood’s new Chaos fighter. The Hell Blade quite obviously comes from the same twisted family as the Hell Talon but I think it is just downright beautiful! Why? Could be how it manages to be sleek and jagged at the same time but the Hell Blade just ticks all the right ‘Must have one!’ boxes in my head. For such a compact aircraft, 4 inches/100mm wide and 10 inches/250mm long, the Hell Blade will still pack a fair punch with two twin-linked autocannon, nearly the same firepower mustered by the Imperial Thunderbolt! Warwick should have some experimental rules ready for the Hell Blade soon so watch this space… The Hell Blade is available to pre-order now and orders will ship out from Monday August 1st.

Let us pray…
From the simple roadside shrine on the road to Middenheim to the huge Fortress Monasteries of the Space Marines, churches and temples take many forms in both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 so this next release will fit quite nicely in either universe. In its bare form the Warhammer Shrine could just as easily be dedicated to Sigmar and tended by Warrior Priests as it could be raised to the Glory of the Emperor and guarded by the monastic Dark Angels. The Warhammer Shrine measures in at a fraction under 12 inches/300mm long and 7 inches/180mm tall making it one of our largest pieces of terrain; certainly it will be a target of the foul enemy and must be defended! With the potential of this model we decided early in the project not to make it solely for one race or army, letting you decorate it using icons and statues as you like. Of course we couldn’t resist making at least one add-on pack ourselves. Our pack of Bretonnian Reliquary Items transform the Shrine into a revered hall honouring The Lady includes woodcuts, gargoyles and statues. Of course this pack is available separately from the Shrine and can be used to adorn the walls of a Bretonnian fortress or any other grand Bretonnian building too… Released on Monday August 1st and sent out that week, the Warhammer Shrine and the Bretonnian Reliquary Items are both available to pre-order now.

Beware; Sniper!
As part of our ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3’ releases we have some new Tallarn Desert Raider Snipers. The Tallarn Desert Raiders are renowned for their hit and run tactics. Tallarn troops are excellent marksmen and heavy weapons are not always conducive to their fighting style, some Tallarn infantry squads discard these and instead equip their best marksmen with a long las. This pack of three multi-part Tallarn Snipers is available to pre-order from today and will be sent out from Monday August 1st .

Let’s try this…
As promised, we have a set of experimental rules for the new Space Marine Siege Dreadnoughts for everybody to try as well as a set for the BFG Eldar Haven Spire. There is also a rules update for some of our Tyranid monstrosities that will make them work a lot better in conjunction with the recently released Codex Tyranids.

Forge World on tour
The second half of the year will see Forge World attending even more shows around the world, giving you the opportunity to see our displays of painted models, ask questions and to buy any models you want. This Sunday, July 10th we will be in London at Alexandria Palace for Conflict London which promises to be bigger and busier than ever this year. Next we will be going to a new show, well new to us anyway, The War and Peace Show down in Kent. War and Peace is the world’s largest military vehicle and collector’s fair and last year there were over 3500 military vehicles on display. This five day show runs from Wednesday July 20th through to Sunday July 24th and there will be living history re-enactors, over 1000 trade stands and special events in the open air arenas. We are really looking forward to the War and Peace Show as there will be lots of things for us to see and do, one of which is to rumble round with our huge radio-controlled Baneblade! Of course we will have a large display of our newest and best models on show and lots of model kits available to buy. A few days later Forge World will be over in the US for Games Day Chicago on July 30th, our fourth and final US Games Day of the year. There we will have a large display and sales stand and later in the afternoon I will be judging Golden Demon entries, trying to find a winner for the coveted ‘Forge World Best of Show’ trophy.

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,

Dean Winson
Forge World.

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.

Event Attendance
Don’t forget we are at the following shows soon: Conflict London – 10th July War and Peace – 19th-24th July Games Day Chicago – 30th July Should you want any models reserving for so that you can pick them up on the day, thereby making sure we have them with us, email us at Forgeworld@games-workshop.co.uk For more information, visit our events page.

Forge World Newsletter #121

+++ MESSAGE BEGINS +++

In today’s Forge World Newsletter we have updates on which shows you can find us at over the next month or so, some new photos of one of our most impressive models, a downloadable summer catalogue supplement as well as news on the imminent release of some great new models and a new shipping offer too.
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

Fantastic New Shipping Offer!
Very simple this one. As of right now, when you place an order with Forge World of £250 or above, then you get COMPLETELY FREE shipping! What’s more, we will also upgrade your order to receive Express Delivery at no extra cost, a double-barrelled deal saving you AT LEAST £25! This is not a short term gimmick either; we at Forge World see this offer being available for everyone to use for quite some time. There are a few ways to take advantage of this new shipping offer: Combining your order with one or more friends or perhaps placing your order together with others from your wargaming club? Of course we have quite a few very large models in our range, buying any one of which will get you free express shipping! Check how much you’re spending too. If your order is about £220-230 then I must advise spending that extra £20-30 on some more models or books and hit that magic £250 mark so you do not have to pay for your shipping. This way you end up paying the same amount for your order but get a whole lot more for your money.

Out and About
This Saturday, June 11th, Forge World will be at Warhammer World in Nottingham for the Cry Havoc! Hobby Day. Of course Forge World is going to be joining in with Operation Armoured Assault, the UK wide world record attempt for the most tanks used in a linked battle. We will have a range of heavily armed and armoured machineries of destruction available to ‘test-drive’ on the day so you can decide which tank or weapon best suits your needs before buying it! A huge tank-tastic day like Saturday wouldn’t be complete without the biggest, baddest tank of all would it? As long as there isn’t a huge blizzard or it doesn’t tip it down with rain all day we will have our unique 1/6th scale radio controlled Baneblade rumbling around outside. If you haven’t seen Forge World’s biggest ever model then this is your chance to see and hear our monster in action. If you can’t make it to Nottingham this weekend then we hope that you can catch up with us at some of the other shows and events we’re attending this summer. Without going into too much detail and clogging up the newsletter I do have a list of where we will be over the next month or so and we have just updated the Forge World Events page where you can click on the event you are most interested in for details. July is when I get busy travelling again as we have Conflict! London on the 10th and then the truly massive War and Peace show down in Kent from the 20th through to the 24th! (Five days camping in a field! Help!!) A few days later I pop over to the US for Games Day Chicago on the 30th. I do get a little bit of a break as our annual trip to Cologne for Games Day Germany isn’t until August 28th. If anyone would like to place a reservation order for collection at any of these events, either give one of our guys a call on the phone or drop us an email titled ‘Forge World Reservation’ with your name, the event you want to collect your order at and the list of what you want us to pack up especially for you. We’ll confirm all the details with you as we get closer to each date and make sure your order is sitting waiting for you.

The Thunderlord Cometh!
In the last issue of the Newsletter I talked a little about this bad boy and I’m glad to say he’s all done and ready to go on sale. Unlike the previous two Ogre Rhinox Cavalry Daniel made, the Thunderlord does not use any plastic components, instead it is a complete resin kit and a good bit larger as you might notice. The size of this model really is quite something; I’m writing this with the Thunderlord model sitting next to my Snotling Pumpwagon and Gobbo 3 Wolf Chariot and today is as close as they are ever going to get if I have anything to say about it. The complete Thunderlord is about 120mm/5 inches tall and that isn’t a cavalry base he’s standing on, it’s a chariot base! I think perhaps my favourite part of this model is the little Gnoblar wearing a fake peg-leg to imitate his boss. I am beginning to think a little bit about adding some super-heavy cavalry to my Orc and Goblin army now, hmm…. If like me you are tempted to add one of these huge monsters to your collection it is available to pre-order now for release from Monday July 4th.

Terminators Decorated for Valour
Space Marine Terminators are perhaps the most fearless and valiant warriors defending the Imperium and to shield Humanity from the alien and the heretic they are given only the best weapons and armour that their Chapter can provide. To help make your squads of new plastic Space Marine Terminators become a focal point of your army and the envy of your peers, Forge World are pleased to release the next two sets of Terminator Shoulder Pads with a pack for the Raptors Space Marine Chapter and another that can be used for both the Imperial Fists and the Crimson Fists Chapters. Both the Fists and Raptors Terminator Shoulder Pads are available to pre-order now for release from Monday July 20th.

Fresh from the Painting Table
A few days ago we had another of our larger new models returned after being painted. To be completely honest this is the second time that Fil brought our huge Chaos Dragon back to us because he wasn’t 100% satisfied with the work and knew he could do better! I think Fil has done an amazing job with this model as it is just so enormous and positively dripping with fine detail crying out for careful painting. Well done mate.

Forge World Newsletter #120

+++ MESSAGE BEGINS +++

Hi folks, today in our 120th Forge World Newsletter we are re-releasing three of our most popular collectable figurines. We also have photos of some of our models resplendent in their new paint schemes. We have rules for some of newer releases, news on some of our soon to be completed projects and one new release too.
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

Heavy Metal
Forge World Design Manager Owen Branham says he always likes to take the ‘Extra Armour’ option for his Imperial Guard Chimeras. Of course there has never been a set of armour for the Chimera, so Owen decided to make one. The design Owen chose has been used many times throughout the many conflicts Humanity has fought in over the past 40 millenia. Large armoured plates are hung over the vunerable slab-sides of the Chimera, these are then covered with small explosive blocks which are meant to explode outwards when hit, deflecting or slowing down any shots and ensuring the survival of your mechanised infantry (You hope!). Owen has mentioned that he wants to get to work on a similar set of armour for the Leman Russ so we can look forward to that fairly soon I hope. The new Chimera Armoured Skirts pack is available to pre-order right now and will be released and sent out from Monday May 30th.

Re-released Classic Designs
A month or two ago Forge World re-launched limited quantities of some of our older figurines and busts. These have proven to be very popular as we think quite a lot of you had not seen these models before and today Forge World re-release the next group of Collector’s Series figures and Busts. The Dark Elf character Malus Darkblade could be known to some of you already from his appearances in the Darkblade graphic novels, Warhammer Monthly comic books, novels and of course as a special character in Warhammer itself. Malus himself stands 10mm/4inches tall and is posed at the head of some stone steps, wielding a savage looking blade and clutching his vial of sleeping potion, wearing a quite magnificent suit of armour and sea-dragon cloak. We think that the Orc Shaman Nazgob first came into prominance as part of the old Warhammer supplement ‘Idol of Gork’. Measuring 130mm/5inches tall to the top of his staff, this old Orc Shaman shuffles along barefoot covered in a simple leather tunic and carrying a satchel of old bones and who knows what else. He does carry a brutal looking Choppa hanging from his belt but his main weapon is the power of the Waaagh! which he channels through the great bone staff which is considerably taller than he is! The Space Wolves Wolf Guard Terminator bust is one of Forge World’s oldest models and possibly one of the easiest to paint effectively. Everything you see on this model has just had paint added on top, all the chips, scratches, runes etc are all part of the model, all you need to do is add the colours you want to bring this model to life. Just like the first set of models we re-released these three models are available in quite limited quantities which means that when we run out of stock that’s it for now. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity then please do act sooner rather than later to avoid dissappointment as we did run out of some of the first re-release quite quickly.

Ogre Rhinox Cavalry rule! (Well, rules anyway)
Earlier this week we started shipping out all the Rhinox Cavalry pre-orders and believe me folks, there are quite a scary number of Ogre armies out there who are going to be fielding Rhinox Cavalry very soon. Of course these huge models of stinky, hairy, mayhem wielding Ogre cavalry are just what the Tyrant ordered but where are the rules then? Eh? Eh? Here! That’s where! These are experimental rules for the moment and any feedback you have would be very welcome. Please email any comments/ideas to the normal Forge World email address. Right now Daniel Cockersell is putting the finishing touches to an Ogre Thunderlord, a larger and more menacing Ogre on an even larger and even more menacing Bull Rhinox, who can lead your units of Rhinox Cavalry to crushing victory one after another. We hope to have photos of this big chap for the Newsletter very soon.

Caution! Wet Paint!
While we love to show you our new models as soon as they are finished (and sometimes even before) you have to admit that a good paint job can really transform a model. George Dellapina has been painting Forge World models for us for a while and has painted some of our most impressive pieces to date. When he saw them, George pretty much demanded the job of painting our huge 40K Fortress Walls. Now bear in mind that this monstrous kit is over 1200mm/48inches long and 600mm/24inches tall! George and his friend Chris Straw spent about 5 weeks working on this huge kit and delivered it to us the day before we drove over to Paris for Games Day France at the end of last month. I’ll admit that I didn’t enjoy the trip down to Paris very much as it had been a while since I had driven a big truck and we didn’t really have much time to pack the Fortress Walls very well. Due to my amazing driving skills, the Fortress Walls arrived in Paris without a single scratch on them and they took pride of place at Games Day Paris in the centre of the Forge World display. Yesterday George dropped off his latest painting project, a unit of Kroot Knarloc Riders which has been painted in a style that really emphasises the muscles and tendons that make up so much of these models. Paul has also taken some new photographs of both Imperial Navy Lightning fighters which allow you to see the detail and appreciate the size of these big aircraft.

So, what’s next..?
Earlier this morning I saw the next few sets of Terminator Shoulder Pads that Simon Egan is working on. He had a set for Imperial/Crimson Fists and another for Raptors sitting on his desk which I think were pretty much finished. He was working on a set of pads and other accessories for Space Wolves Wolf Guard Terminators which looked particularly exciting and I look forward to seeing again. Forge World should have the sets of shoulder pads for the Raptors and Imperial/Crimson Fists ready for release in the next few weeks and the Space Wolves set a little after that with even more sets to follow! Mark Bedford has nearly completed 5 new Tallarn heavy weapon crews, all designed to use the plastic Imperial Guard heavy weapons. Each set will include additional accessories like small piles of sandbags with ammo or equipment laid out. Another nice touch is a special Tallarn pattern lasgun which really suits the style of the Tallarns that Mark has created. We hope to be able to show you these great new models in another newsletter very soon. We do have a final piece of news for you today, Imperial Armour Volume 3 – The Taros Campaign is damned near to being sent off to the printers. Warwick has been writing and re-writing like a madman for I don’t know how long. (When he flew over to Baltimore for Games Day last week he did sit editing it on the way over AND back!) Tony has been Mr Photoshop, scowling at his monitor creating picture after picture for this monster book. Do 320 pages qualify as monster? I think it does. We will be doing a special newsletter on Imperial Armour Volume 3 very soon when we’ll be able to tell you quite a bit more about the book and hopefully show you some of the pages too.

Epic Ork BattlewagonHi and welcome to an issue of the Forge World Newsletter that is packed full of good things to look at. All the new models we’ll show you today are being released at the end of May but are available to pre-order right now. Have a good look and enjoy!
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

New Tau Shas’o Battlesuit identified!
Imperial intelligence agents have identified a new type of Shas’o Battlesuit. First encountered during fierce fighting on Taros, the Tau supreme commander, one Shas’o R’myr, personally took to the field. He appears to have been equipped with the most up-to-date evolution of the Crisis Battlesuit, equipped with systems as yet unavailable to other Battlesuits. The Shas’o R’myr model is armed with a twin-linked plasma rifles and a shield generator and we have experimental rules available to download from the Forge World website until the finalised rules are released in ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3: The Taros Campaign’. This new model stands just a little bit taller than a regular XV8 but is a lot bulkier, and quite nasty looking too!

Essential upgrades for Space Marine Terminators.
As soon as we saw the new plastic Space Marine Terminators, we knew we just had to make some extra pieces and upgrades for these excellent new models. This pack of Ultramarine Terminator Shoulder Pads is just the first in a range that will be released over the coming months. The pack contains ten shoulder pads, five proudly displaying the Crux Terminatus and five different shoulder pads carrying the Ultramarines Chapter icon as well as various purity seals and honour badges. My own Terminators are a focal point of my army and the addition of a set of finely detailed shoulder pads this summer will make them that bit more special and of course they will then fight even better!

‘Sabre-toothed’ Tiger Shark?
Until the Taros campaign the Tau had few weapons capable of stopping Imperial Titans and super-heavy tanks. The Tiger Shark seemed to be the ideal vehicle to transform into a formidable ground attack weapon, as it combined speed and manouverability with the capacity to carry a fearsome array of weapons. This new variant of the Tiger Shark is equipped with two heavy railguns (usually found in the far larger Manta) and a combination seeker missile and markerlight system. Upon its initial deployment against forces of the Imperium on Taros it was discovered that the AX-1-0, as this new variant was codified by the Imperium, also retained its missile racks and drone controlled burst cannon. At the time of writing I have yet to see the experimental rules for the new Tiger Shark AX-1-0, but my Blood Reavers Space Marines have just put in a requisition for a Whirlwind Hyperios.

New Tallarn Rough Riders, but no horses to be seen!
Some Tallarn regiment’s Rough Rider squadrons ride large xeno-mounts, called Mukaali. These desert-dwelling herbivores are indigenous to the vast equatorial deserts of Goru-Prime. Many Mukaali have been transported to other desert worlds, including Tallarn itself, because of their superior evolutionary advantages in dry desert conditions when compared to horses. A Mukaali’s main advantage over a horse is its exceptional endurance and load bearing ability. These three new Tallarn Mukaali Rough Rider models make a great alternative to the more usual horse mounted Imperial Guard. You’ll be able to find more background and history on the Tallarn’s use of Mukaali in ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3: The Taros Campaign’ later this summer.

And there’s more…
We have a few more smaller new models that are also available to pre-order from today. Firstly we have a great little pack of Epic 40,000 scale Ork Battlewagons. I really like the tiny gunners and the twin-linked Big Shootas on each side of the Battlewagon. Next is the BFG Courier which is used by the Tau to transport equipment and supplies within their Empire. Lastly we have a Space Marine Whirlwind Minefield Marker. Covered in mines, these markers are the exact same size as the Ordnance Templates used by the Whirlwind when firing Castellan missiles and could be handy when you want to lay down several minefields across the battlefield.

Final call for Vienna and Baltimore!
This Sunday, Shep and I will be in Vienna representing Forge World at the Vienna Gaming Day being organised and run by Games Workshop Germany. We are taking a display cabinet full of painted models to display and have sent over a large pile of our models that will be on sale all day. I’m hardly back in Nottingham before I scream back over to the USA again, this time for Games Day Baltimore. I won’t be alone though; Tony and Warwick are coming along to talk about and show off sections from the forthcoming ‘Imperial Armour Volume 3: The Taros Campaign’. Tony will of course be hosting one of his very popular (and funny) Forge World Seminars again this year so try not to miss that if you can. Dean, Tris and I will be meeting up with Steve and John, two of our US Outriders, and together we will be running a huge Forge World sales stand. If you want a little bit more information on either of these events you can find links from the Forge World events page and we look forward to seeing lots of you there.

All available to pre-order right now…
Shas’o R’myr, the Tiger Shark AX-1-0, Tallarn Mukaali Rough Riders and all the other new models we have shown you today are available to pre-order on the Forge World online store right now. All the models are released from the 30th of May and orders will be sent out in the same order that we receive them.

Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons

The beauty of Orks is that there is no need for consistency and sometimes a mistake turns out really well.

I painted one of the Gunwagons in Bleached Bone, expecting the dark wash to add a nice touch, however it contained too much Chestnut ink so it looked awful wet. However when it dried it just looked great, really rusty.

It’s the one on the left…

Forgeworld Newsletter #118

+++ MESSAGE BEGINS +++

Time for Newsletter #118. Today we have some shiny new models to show and sell, a quick update about shows and a quick update on what we have coming out in the near future. We’re not sure on when precisely many of these models will be coming out but it’s been a while since we whetted your appetites and rest assured the Newsletter will let you know. Now on with the news!

Regards,
Dean Winson.
Forge World.

Rhinoxen Cavalry
We first showed this beast in Newsletter #115 and since then people have been harassing us constantly, wanting to know when it will be released, how much it will be etc! Well today you find out. We have two variants of the Ogre Rhinox Cavalry going up for pre-order today and these things are huge! These are certainly not the immature Rhinoxen seen pulling Gnoblar Scraplaunchers into battle, these are full grown beasts of destruction none too happy at being cowed to an Ogres whim. Rules for these are currently being worked on by Phil Kelly in the Games Dev section of the Design Studio and we hope to have experimental rules up on our website very soon. It doesn’t end there though, Daniel Cockersell is working on a third model as I type, a Champion figure to lead the Ogre Cavalry to victory. We hope to have him up for pre-order soon. The link below will take you to some close up pictures of the new Rhinoxen. To see a painted version please follow the link from our online store.

Crashed Land Speeder Tempest
Continuing our range of destroyed vehicle terrain for 40K, (lets face it there’s not much better for scenery than a wrecked vehicle, especially if your opponent uses that vehicle), we have a Space Marine Land Speeder Tempest. From the damage down one side it’s clear it’s taken some serious anti-vehicle fire and from the way it’s partially buried, it certainly didn’t come down straight and gentle.

Wrecked Tau Piranha
It does seem the destroyed vehicle range has been a little one sided so far, so to balance this we have the first destroyed alien vehicle. A Tau Piranha which has taken what looks like melta weapon damage, obviously enough to knock it out of the air if not to completely destroy it. Aside from being a nice little piece of scenery, this particular model would also make a good alternative objective for a Hostage Situation mission, rather than rescuing an Ethereal from an escape capsule, you have to retrieve valuable information from the Piranha’s computer.

Forge World Show Attendance
As I mentioned in the last Newsletter, next weekend sees us at Both Salute in London and Games Day Paris. We are still taking reservations for both these shows but only until Sunday. If you want to make sure we have the models you are after at either of those events please make sure to email us by Sunday with your list. We are also taking reservations for Games Day Baltimore in the US (14th May) and Vienna Gaming Day (7/8th May).

Upcoming Releases
Chimera Spaced Armour Chapter Specific Terminator Shoulder Pads Mukaali (3 Different Trooper Variants and a Commander) Tallarn Heavy Weapon Crews Tigershark with Railguns A Special Character Tau Battlesuit Ork Battlewagons for Epic Tau Transports for BFG

Available to Pre-Order Now
The two terrain pieces and the Rhinoxen are released week commencing 16th May. We always ship out pre-orders in the same order that we receive them. What does this mean? If you pre-order early, you are one of the first people to get them, and of course we do not charge your card until we are just about to ship your order to you. These models are available to pre-order right now from our online store and over the phone.
