Just back a couple of days after seeing a whole pile of you at Games Day Baltimore and off I zoom again! The next few weekends will see Forge World in Glasgow, Toronto, Manchester and London. Details on what we will be doing and where follow below, so see if you can come along to one of these events. But what have we got to show you in today’s Forge World Newsletter? How about a super-detailed Venerable Dreadnought for the Black Templars? Then we have a new Cadian Command HQ squad to take a look at and the re-issue of one of our favourite older models.
Thx,
Ewen Little,
Forge World.
New Tau Piranha TX-42
Before all those we just have to look at this gorgeous new Tau Piranha variant designed by Daren Parrwood. The TX-42 is the latest development of the successful Piranha light skimmer that has a re-worked crew compartment and upgraded armament to turn it into a heavier gunship, designed for frontline operations in support of Tau armoured units. Warwick has written a set of experimental rules for the TX-42 that can be found in the ‘Downloads’ section of the Forge World website. Woo-hoo! Twin linked Rail Rifles and a Targeting Array! Also, I like the look of this new model SO much that my Eldar army is starting to get jealous. The Piranha TX-42 is available as either a conversion kit for the plastic Piranha, or as a complete resin and plastic kit ready to assemble. Both kits come with ALL the weapons options, twin-linked Fusion Blasters, Missile Pods, Plasma Rifles and Rail Rifles which will leave LOADS of cool parts for conversions afterwards. The two Piranha TX-42 kits are available to pre-order online at the Forge World online store now, scheduled for release from Tuesday May 30th onwards.
Amazing New Black Templars Venerable Dreadnought
There can be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this is a Venerable Black Templars Dreadnought. In fact it could hardly be more venerable! Will Hayes’s original Mk4 Dreadnought has pretty much disappeared under all the extra work that Simon Egan has put in to create this bio-mechanical masterpiece. Just the banner pole is a gorgeous model in itself, but when you take a little bit of time to take a really good look at the model, you have to admit this is a damned nice model, regardless of what you collect. This lovely model of a Black Templars Venerable Dreadnought is available to pre-order online at the Forge World online store now and is due for release from Tuesday May 30th.
New Cadian Command HQ plus Scanner
Our stream of Cadian upgrades and reinforcements continues today as we unveil an all new Cadian Command HQ Squad plus Long Range Scanner. The complete resin set includes an excellent new Cadian officer model armed with a power fist using the master-vox on the back of one of the Cadian Guardsmen. There is also a new Guardsman armed with a melta-gun to provide a little bit of extra firepower where it’s needed most and a Guardsman sentry. I particularly like the Cadian operating the Long Range Scanner, with his users’ manual in his other hand! The rules for using Long Range Scanners in games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the ‘Downloads’ section of the Forge World website. Try them out and see what you think. The Cadian Command HQ Squad with Scanner is available to pre-order online at the Forge World online store now, scheduled for release from Tuesday May 30th onwards.
Re-release – Showcase Imperial Space Marine
One of the very first models that Forge World released, back in the dim and distant past when dinosaurs walked the earth, was a large scale Imperial Space Marine, the first in our Showcase series of figurines. Standing at an impressive 6 inches/150mm tall, even now this is one of my favourite models. I have bought one of these big models already and it is sitting on my painting/modelling desk at home: I just need to finish off the complicated Legion of the Damned paint scheme I chose. As you can see from the assembly instructions, the model comes in quite a number of pieces which allows for plenty of scope for modelling and personalisation. We have a limited number of the Showcase Imperial Space Marine available to order right now but we cannot predict when this set of moulds will break down so if you really fancy getting hold of one, please order soon to avoid disappointment.
