Forgeworld #293

[edmundblack]

Hi there,
Merry Christmas from all of us at Forge World! The dust has settled from shipping a record number of festive orders, and the eagerly awaited Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara has been released. We’re not finished yet though!
In today’s newsletter we’re excited to announce six releases that will be shipping from the 6th January. So if all that upcoming turkey and festivity leaves you craving amazing resin kits over the next week or so, read on for more...
Macharius Omega
While the sins of innovation and initiative are frowned upon by the Adeptus Mechanicus, new patterns and designs of weapons and armoured vehicles are still created. The Macharius Omega is one such vehicle, created with a single focus, that of the battlefield deployment of the Omega Pattern Plasma Blastgun.

The Macharius Omega, designed by Stuart Williamson, is a large full resin kit featuring some incredible interior detail. This open-topped super-heavy tank also includes two unique crew figures: a Cadian gunner and a calculus-servitor. This mighty war machine is available to pre-order now for release in the week commencing 6th January, and full rules for using the Macharius Omega in games of Apocalypse can be found in Imperial Armour Apocalypse Second Edition.

Deimos Pattern Predator
The Predator is a highly effective medium tank designed to provide Space Marine detachments with heavy fire support in the heat of battle. An ancient and revered design, cited by the Codex Astartes as a spiritual mentor, no less, there are almost as many patterns of Predator as there are of the ubiquitous Rhino hull it is based upon.
One such variant is the Deimos Pattern Predator, first issued en-masse to the Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade. Artificer-crafted by the finest machine-wrights of the great forge-complexes of Mars, the Deimos Pattern Predator has since been modified to the ‘Annihilator’ variant by those Chapters who are supplied with this pattern.
The Deimos Pattern Predator, designed by Daren Parrwood and Will Hayes, is a fantastically detailed and iconic design, available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 6th January. This complete resin and plastic kit contains sufficient parts to build either a Destructor pattern or an Annihilator pattern Predator, (please note that our Rhino/Predator Reinforced Armour set is not compatible with this model).


Product Re-releases
We’re excited to announce that a few old favourites from our range are now once again available to order. These detailed miniatures have been repackaged into sets of figures for ease of ordering.
The Death Korps Commissar Set, Death Korps Tank Commander set and Inquisitor Solomon Lok and Retinue all designed by Simon Egan, are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 6th January.

That Macharius Omega is just gorgeous. But then, that Plasma Blastgun is always a good bet. Pre Heresy Predator too: doubt it does anything different other than how it looks, but it'd appeal to some people no doubt.

And a quick shoop later:



And yes, sub-standard shooping I know, but meh. Close enough.

[Novasry]

I might have to start writing up some new lists for my Luna wolves. Drop Pod mounted tacticals in Mk4 armour, with Comtemptor and Predator back up

[Omega1907]

I think the predator looks relly cool ... must resist the urge to begin a SM army

[BrokenWing]

SON OF A!

I was telling everyone how I could buy at least one model from GW instead of Forge World for my Space Sharks...

and then they make a pre-heresy predator!


Edit:


Hm...I wonder...maybe this will work:


"At least I can still buy Terminators from GW, because Forge World doesn't make pre-heresy Terminators."


See what I did there?

[Bodopo]

like the new rules for hector rex, the old ones where rubbish. Hope this leads to grey knights featuring in an upcoming IA

[Pox]

yay Fimir model - very much looking forward to what Forgeworld do on the fantasy front next year.

[scythes]

Awe EB, you beat me to it.

It's looking good for my Iron Knights, I like that predator quite a bit.

[SonsOfStalingrad]

I freakin' called it. I said the pre-heresy predator would be next.
