Tantalus - £85.00


http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/tantalos5.jpg (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/DARK-ELDAR-TANTALUS.html):

First crafted, so it is said, for the Archon Surasis Grief of the Kabal of the Dark Mirror, the Dark Eldar Tantalus is an assault skimmer, somewhat larger and more complex in design than the Raider, and accordingly better armed. Its distinctive twin-hulled design houses powerful engine-reactors slaved to enhanced drives and its unique scythevane armament.

One of the largest Dark Eldar vehicles yet encountered by the Imperial war machine, the cruel reavers who crew this sleek engine of destruction take delight in mounting high-speed attacks, slicing through the hulls of enemy vehicles and rending infantry into crimson shreds, heralded by the screech of the molecular dissonance fields of its scythevanes and the rapid fire of its pulse-disintegrator armament.

The Tantalus, designed by Daren Parrwood, is a detailed full resin kit that includes a set of etched brass deck panels. Measuring nearly 11” from prow to stern, this twin-hulled vehicle is a great addition to any Dark Eldar army. With its full rules contained within Imperial Armour Apocalypse Second Edition.





Emplacement - £22.00


http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/emplacement.jpg (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/IMPERIAL-EMPLACEMENT.html)


Designed as an emplacement for almost any size of Warhammer 40,000 vehicle, from Chimeras and Leman Russ to Macharius and Malcador-based super heavy tanks, and even the mighty Baneblade, the Imperial Emplacement features a wealth of detail such as ammunition stowage, unexploded munitions, a targeting cogitator and an observer’s position. The base of the Imperial Emplacement has been reinforced with trench plates to act as duckboards, and the scenery piece also features plenty of space for crew models as well as vehicles.

Model designed by Blake Spence.

Tantalus is a gorgeous model, but its rules suck so much...

I couldn't help but giggle when I saw this release combo; it just seems so mismatched.
One is a one of the most hyped pieces I've seen in a while, and the other is a bunch of sandbags that no one even knew was coming out.
I wonder which ones they'll sell more of...

It's nice to get some clear, large images of the Tantalus; it really is a work of art.

My Tantaluseses(es) have shipped.:cool: I think I'll get an emplacement as well, not big into Imperial stuff but I like it and I want to encourage the FW terrain people.

I personally think the new Imperial Strongpoint is a much better piece of terrain; it's 3 times as much, but I think it's it's worth the extra cost.

I feel this scale shot of a raider sized Reaper next to the Tantalus deserves to be seen here:

Is a huge model (remember that the reaper next to it is much longer than a standard raider)

Still annoyed its not a superheavy for that size...

Personally I'm annoyed mine didn't arrive in the post today.:p But yes it seems a bit large not to have structure points. Hope the rumours of a thunderhawk sized DE flyer are true.

I know this was released ages ago, but I did laugh when i saw the Emplacement. I bought the original emplacement complete with Earthshaker platform for £28 at my first gamesday, a solid resin fully usable weapon, and now you can get a hollow empty version for £22, odd.
