Tauros Venator Rapid Strike Vehicle
Back in September 2009 live from GamesDay I posted an image of the then described Elysian FAV. This was the first peek of something new and exciting. I later posted a larger image.
Well today Forge World announced the release of the FAV, or give it it’s proper name, the Tauros Venator Rapid Strike Vehicle.
New for the Elysians is the Tauros Venator, a six-wheeled rapid strike and scout vehicle. Light, fast and heavily armed, these all terrain attack vehicles are used for rapid reconnaissance and savage lightning raids in support of the drop troop landings. Designed by Will Hayes, with Elysian crewmen by Simon Egan, this full resin model comes with the choice to mount either a twin-linked multi-laser or twin-linked lascannon as well as optional hunter-killer missiles. This is a great model and something genuinely new for the Imperial Guard and Elysian range.
Really like this, and would really like to get a squadron. At £34 they are a little more pricey then I would like, but it is a really nice model.
Imperial Navy Valkyrie
One of the impressive games this year at GamesDay 2009 was the mega game which comprised a large Imperial city surrounded by a defensive wall.The model builders had used lots and lots of Imperial Bastions and Shrine of the Aquila. For the citybuildings they used the Cities of Death building kits. There were a fair few Valkyries flying about the game too.

Elysian ATV or FAV
One of the very few sneak previews from GamesDay 2009 today was the Elysian ATV or FAV.
Designed to be carried and air dropped by a Valkyrie it’s a nice change from the many tanks the Imperial Guard normally have.
This is still very much a work in progress and may not bear any resemblance to the finished model.
As indicated in the contents of the forthcoming Imperial Armour book there will be a heavy lift version of the Valkyrie which can be used to carry the ATV or FAV.
More photographs from GamesDay 2009 coming soon.

New Forge World Transfers
Forge World have announced two new sets of transfers.
The Ork Transfer sheet, designed by Start Witter, is crammed with a profusion of over 1700 individual symbols covering all the major Ork Clans such as the Bad Moons, Bloodaxes and Evil Sunz as you can see here. The sheet is A4 (8.2” by 11.69”) and in colour, it features huge quantities of Ork glyphs, dags, flames, checks and symbols to add lavish Orky detail to your boyz and vehicles.
The Valkyrie & Vulture Transfer sheet, designed by Stuart Witter provides some fantastic decals, kill markings and insignia for the Imperial Valkyrie and Vulture models. You can see the sheet here. This white A4 sheet features skulls, Aquilas, and fuselage decorations of eyes and fanged maws to personalise your aircraft, as well as unit markings and pilot designations. The sheet also features three sets of Imperial wing decals; these will require the use of a modelling blade and are intended for experienced modellers.
Very nice looking and they look useful.
