Part of Owen Rees’ Imperial Guard – The 374th Tahnelian Airborne, in the White Dwarf display cabinets at GamesDay 2006.
Thunderhawk Gunship
This is the cockpit of a Space Marine Thunderhawk Gunship.
The Space Marine flyer is from a demonstration game at GamesDay 2006. Here is one of the engines.
Though I am not a fan of the gunship I do quite like the transporter variant.
Forge World Newsletter #164
++++ MESSAGE BEGINS ++++
Hello everyone,
And welcome to the first newsletter of 2007, and the first newsletter of what you can be sure will be a packed year of cool new stuff and hobby goodness from us here at Forge World. So without further ado, onto the news …oh, and a Happy New Year!

All Good Things..
One urgent piece of intelligence we have for you this newsletter is the ending of our holiday period postage offer. This offer will end at 9am on Monday January 8th. So, if you wish to benefit from our offer of free first class shipping to anywhere in the world on orders of £100 or more in value, including pre-orders for the new Death Korps of Krieg models released on January 29th, your orders must reach us by this date and time. (No exceptions, even for bribes and pledges of your eternal soul!) However, just to remind you that our offer of free express shipping on orders of £250 or more in value will continue as normal.
Screaming Jets!
The thunderous release of our new `Aeronautica Imperialis` game continues apace, and just to let all of you who have already ordered know, we started shipping them out en masse at the beginning of the week, with new stock of the various aircraft coming into us all the time. (And if you haven`t ordered a copy of our spiffy new game yet, why not? …all the cool kids are doing it). But just in case you need even more tempting you can take a look at some of the plush page spreads from this mighty lexicon of all things air war in the 41st millennium Here.
Some good news for Aeronautica players is that a free PDF formatted download of the Fuel & Ammo record sheet is available from our website for use in your games Here. This will save you having to photocopy the one in the back of your rulebook, -just download and play.
Also, packs of the full colour `Aeronautica Imperialis` manoeuvre cards (containing 2 sheets each) are available to purchase separately now from our online store Here. These are the same cards that you get with the rulebook, but we thought they’d be handy if for those of you with budding squadrons on the way and wanted extra.
Keep an eye out of for more `Aeronautica Imperialis` releases in the coming months, which will include every aircraft that`s included in the new rulebook, from the Thunderhawk Gunship to the Phoenix Bomber, more details on just `what and when` you will find in forthcoming newsletters.
Thudd Guns (and an apology)
As you may know, the new Imperial Quad-Launcher, better known as the Thudd Gun, is currently available to pre-order from us (you can find it on our online store Here), unfortunately a mistake on our part meant that you couldn’t download the advertised experimental rules, so our apologies for that, -you can quite definitely get hold of them Here, (and those responsible for the hiccup will be kept away from an over-abundance seasonal `cheer` in the future, fear not!).
Also to whet your appetite for these devices of battlefield slaughter, you can find a painted example of this new artillery piece Here. More Death Korps of Krieg stuff coming soon

Inquisitorial Storm Troopers Valkyrie Transport
This is an Inquisitorial Storm Troopers Valkyrie Transport.
It has landed.
And is dropping off a troop of Inquisitorial Storm Troopers and an Inquisitor.
This is the Forgeworld model with Inquistion doors.
Hyperios Air Defence Platforms
This is a pair of Hyperios Air Defence Platforms looking for enemy flyers.
From a demonstration at GamesDay 2006.
Grey Knights MkIIb Land Raider
Grey Knights can use Land Raiders, when I first started putting this force together I knew that if I was going to get a Land Raider it would have to be the Forgeworld MkIIB Land Raider.
This is the Forgeworld display model.
I did get one in the end at GamesDay 2006.
As well as the plastic Land Raider parts you get the following resin pieces. These are the main sponsons and hull structures.
This is the rear plate and replacement exhausts.
These are the lascannon weapons.
Though you don’t get much in the way of instructions, but you do get doors.
Now I made a mistake, you get a set of doors and I (foolishly) asked them to replace the supplied eagle doors with Grey knight Land Raider doors. Now what I didn’t realise was that the side doors on the sponson are not the same size as the Land Raider doors, but are in fact the same size as Rhino side doors. So the Grey Knight doors are too big!
Mk IV Venerable Dreadnought
It is part of Mike Sharpe’s Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006.
It is a Forgeworld model, the Citadel Venerable Dreadnought is awful as it basically consists of the plastic kit (which is nice) and then cover it in metal parts. It just looks like they are stuck on (which they are), whereas the Forgeworld model looks more “real” in comparison.
Mike Sharpe’s Space Wolves army
There were what seemed like over a hundred tanks, many of which were Forgeworld kits or conversion kits. It also included loads of Marines, Thunderhawks and Drop Pods.
Urban basing for Ork Kommandos
I have added materials from the urban basing kit to my Ork Kommandos.
I didn’t use any of the resin pieces, but used the large and small slate. I think I will add some barbed wire as well.
I have decided to paint their backpacks separately, so will need to mount them somehow.
