Oooh. Pretty tanks! (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BLOG_8.html)

Confirming some saucy sounding pre-releases for the Heresy Weekender, including a 'mighty warrior from the Horus Heresy'. Pic shows a new SM Tank being worked on (Super Heavy Chassis)....and most important? Confirms a new Mechanicus vehicle will also be available there.

Phwoar!


With the Forge World Open Day only a few weeks away, the Forge World Studio is a hive of activity. There are going to be so many cool new models to buy at the event, I hardly know which to tell you about first! Each of them will also be available to order in the weeks and months following the Open Day.

So far I know that a mighty warrior from the Horus Heresy will be unveiled and a new Mechanicum vehicle will roll out of the Forge World manufactorum. I've also seen some more brand new Realm of Battle Industrial boards and caught sight of what Phil Stutcinskas has been busy working away on – a mightily impressive behemoth in the form of a new super-heavy Space Marine tank.

There’ll be more details on the Forge World Open Day in upcoming blogs and newsletters, so stay tuned.

After all this excitement, I calmed myself down by taking a wander through the Forge World Studio to look at what everyone has been working on for their own hobby. Mark Bedford, who has been responsible for creating many amazing models, from the Myrmidon Destructors to the Legion Champion and Master of Signal, has been working on a Legion of his own, those born of fire and remade on the anvil of war, the Salamanders.

As you can see, Mark enjoys the challenge of converting his models. The MkIII Space Marines armed with volkite calivers above are led by a Techmarine that started out as an Iron Hands Medusan Immortal. The model gained a conversion beamer that was originally part of Valthex of the Astral Claws, a power axe from the MkIII Power Weapons set and a volkite charger among other parts. Mark also added a flame insignia to the Techmarine’s armour using Green Stuff.

If you’ve converted models using Forge World components, why not send us some photos of them via our Facebook page.




That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.



Chris.

Seriously? The space marine range needs to be expanded more, the army list choices are just so limited that it is a joke.

But Xenos were apparently in massive decline during the time the Emperor walked among man.

Sudden Galactic Kicking Syndrome, or SGKS was found to be the culprit.

Indeed, the Emperor kindda went on a Xenocide campaign, Xenos races didn't really recover until after the Heresy :D

Yeah...they were all like:

"Is that golden basterd dead yet? He's stuck on his homeworld? Sweet! Time to WAAAAAAGH!"

My friend says the actual reason the Emperor is still alive is that all the Orks think he is. :)

As good a reason as any.

Heh, let the lesser races have more toys. It must suck not being eldar :)

Seriously though, looking forward to seeing who the latest model will be. Still hoping for a Leman Russ, Magnus diarama

To be fair, it'd be weird to see a load of new models for xenos during the Heresy. After all, unlike the Imperium, they weren't busy utterly destroying themselves technologically...

Leman Russ and Magnus will not be till Book 4 "Prospero." Check below:

Book 3: Execution
Easter release date if everything goes according to schedule ( Q1-2 2014)
Raven Guard
Primarch model of Corax with flight pack was strongly suggested as what they wanted to do.
New units focusing on Hit and Run, precision strikes and Assassination I.e. Eliminating enemy command structure

Alpha Legion
Primarch models for Alpharius and Omegon with the possibility of a 3rd because of the whole I am Alpharius.

Subtle differences in armour between the two.
Alan Bleigh said that even tho the primarchs of the Alpha legion blend into their legion to complete missions there are times when they need to be seen as primarchs! This is what the models will represent. Them in their full glory.

Imperial Fists
Even tho Rogal Dorn was on Terra during the battle of Phall he will be in the book along with Sigismund.

Iron Warriors
The Iron Warriors will have models with rules for the Iron Circle in this book despite the fact that they were created after the battle of Phall where the Imperial Fists stormed aboard Perturabo's Flagship and into his Inner Sanctum causing him then to design and build them.
Titan legions

Book 4 Prospero
Before Christmas 2014 (Q3-4) most likely aiming for UK Gamesday but will be a tight schedule to keep up with.
Thousand Sons
Space Wolves

Speaking with Siman Egan the sculpted/designer of Angron, Fulgrim and Ferrus, he wants to do Leman Russ and Magnus in a duel like Fulgrim and Ferrus with Leman Russ's Wolves. This is only what he is planning not what is actually going ahead at this time.
Sisters of Silence
Emperors Custodes

I didn't know they had leaked a general plan for when the HH models/books would be released. Looks like my Christmas present to myself is already picked out :)

Wait, what? There are more Space Marine kits (GW or FW) than any other army they produce.
