Forge World Newsletter #145

++++ MESSAGE BEGINS ++++

It’s been a little while since our last newsletter, over a month to tell the truth. April was a very busy month for Forge World and May is looking pretty much the same. We’ve got another two Games Days and a Conflict event to attend as well as send out all the hundreds of orders we are getting from all you lovely people.

In today’s issue of the Forge World Newsletter we have several new 40K models to show you that will be released in the next few weeks.

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Solomon Lok


Solomon Lok is a veteran Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, the alien hunters. Lok leads the Imperium’s mission to investigate the reason behind the loss of astropathic communications from Beta Anphelion IV and the horrific battles that followed. See the new ‘Imperial Armour Volume 4 – The Anphelion Project’ book for more details. These two models are supremely detailed, even by our standards! Simon Egan, Mark Bedford and Will Hayes designed the models and have done a really great job to create an intensely characterful pair of figures that just beg to be added to everyone’s collection. Solomon Lok and his attendant servo-skull stenographer are available to pre-order right now and will start being shipped out in the order that we receive them from Tuesday May 30th onwards.

Tyranid Winged Rippers

With the imminent release of these little horrors, Tyranid commanders will soon have all the models they need available to them to make their entire armies horrendously fast moving. Now they can have ‘living shields’ of Winged Rippers fast enough to be able to stay in front of the rest of the army, dying to protect and preserve the bigger, nastier Tyranids. Modified from his original Rippers, designer Daniel Cockersell has made these into flying monsters much larger than an eagle and with a heck of a lot more teeth and claws too! The packs of three Winged Rippers are available to pre-order right now and will start being shipped out in the order that we receive them from Tuesday May 30th onwards.

Containment Field Generator and Pylons


Containment fields were used on Beta Anphelion IV to surround the Imperial installations and certain large expanses of the surrounding area. More commonly found behind the Imperial lines of combat, Containment Fields are used throughout the Imperium as high security enclosures and can be encountered almost anywhere there has been an Imperial presence in the last few millennia. Each pack contains one Containment Field Generator and four Pylons. Each Pylon is a little over three inches in height and so a line across a battlefield looks really cool. We have a set of rules that you can get from our ‘Downloads’ section of the Forge World website that will let you introduce the Containment Field Generator and Pylons into your games of Warhammer 40,000. This pack is available to pre-order right now and will start being shipped out in the order that we receive them from Tuesday May 30th onwards.

Tech Servitor

Mark Bedford designed this Tech Servitor with part of the story and one of the playable scenarios from ‘Imperial Armour Volume 4 – The Anphelion Project’ book in mind. Early in the conflict, a Tech Servitor had to jump-start a generator to re-start a containment field in the midst of a fire-fight, otherwise the Imperial forces were in grave danger of being completely overrun. I like how Mark has made this Servitor quite thin and wasted, obviously quite different from the slightly more commonly seen Combat Servitors. Very nice. The Tech Servitor is also available to pre-order right now and will start being shipped out in the order that we receive them from Tuesday May 30th onwards.
