Forgeworld #294

[edmundblack]

Hi there,
Happy new year from all of us here at Forge World! In this week’s newsletter we’ve got a reminder of the last few releases of 2011, two of which are shipping now, and a sneak peek at a few of the fantastic kits we’ve got planned for release later in 2012…
Macharius Omega and Deimos Pattern Predator
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. Designed by Stuart Williamson, this is an extremely detailed full resin kit featuring some incredible interior detail.
The Predator is a highly effective medium tank designed to provide Space Marine detachments with heavy fire support in the heat of battle. The Deimos Pattern Predator is one of many variants, first issued en-masse to the Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade. Designed by Daren Parrwood and Will Hayes, the Deimos Pattern Predator is a fantastically detailed and iconic design, making it a great addition to a Space Marine army.
Both of these fantastic kits are available to order now for immediate despatch.
MkIIb Land Raider
Our ever-popular MkIIb Land Raider is now back on sale. In response to customer feedback we have added ‘blank’ side doors to this kit to allow greater personalisation. We have also added a range of MkIIb Land Raider Door Sets to our online store should you wish to add sculpted details rather than decals or etched brass.
The MkIIb Land Raider, designed by Will Hayes, is available to order now for immediate despatch.
Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara
The first shipment of this hotly anticipated Imperial Armour book sold out almost as soon as we made them available just prior to Christmas. The second shipment is arriving soon so we are now able to announce that Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara is available to pre-order now for despatch from the 19th January.
We’ve added a Q&A document to our website, and don’t forget that we recorded an interview with Talima Fox from the Imperial Armour writing team about her favourite parts of the new book.


Forge World Future Releases
There’s a huge list of amazing projects in the pipeline for 2012, and we’ve got two exclusive sneak peeks for you to ponder over:

The first is something we ‘borrowed’ from Mark Bedford’s desk, while the second you can see part of Simon Egan’s current project – a return to the Badab War perhaps? At the larger end of the Forge World spectrum we are currently working on two sizeable vehicle kits for the noble Adeptus Astartes.
A good way of finding out what these kits could be is to join us at the Forge World Open Day held at Warhammer World here in Nottingham. Our entire Studio team will be showing off their latest releases and future projects, and as always it is free to attend.
It’s on Sunday 1st April so keep an eye on our Events page for more details.

Now, that guy with the crest and the skull face: that is totally freakin' AWESOME!!!

I know it's a Space Spartan, but meh - the symbol looks =][= enough to me, and c'mon - badass in the extreme to say the least.

[Deception]

Sorry all could think about when seeing spartan like helmet



anyway im glad to see forgeworld is still churning out stuff, just wish i had more money.

[The Dark Pwner]

Loving those marines...

[Beeva]

Hmm, those sneak peaks look a tad interesting. I may have to pop down to that open day!

I'm already planning a small Heresy era Ultramarines force to go along with my Imperial Fists just so I can use that helmet.

I have a problem, don't I?

[Baragash]

Maybe we should set up a support group...... to spread the cost of FW shipping!

The dude on the right is probably the Minotaurs Chaplain whose name escapes me right now.

SalamanderMan on this forum is my junkie-in-crime. We go into orders together so that they are large enough for free express shipping. Speaking of, I really hope our next order arrives before Tuesday. FW, y u no give me a way to track package?

As for the Chaplain, yeah we're sure that's him. Minotaur horns on the I on the shoulder+return to Badab War=Minotaurs. Love that helmet so much more than I should.

Yes. Yes you do. It's called "not enough money".

I like that tank commander, kind of. It looks like he's wearing MkIII armour which would go well with my army, but it looks like an open helmet, which makes no sense. it's loads of extra armour to protect the marine, why cut the top of the helmet off. Anyway, I hope they make some heresy era terminator armour, or something along those lines.

MkII armor on the tank commander.and yea it ifs kind of weird that it is half helmed. However it is kind of cool that it shows the MkII helmet as a two piece helm.
What I can't wait for is the new marine vehicles that they say are coming, and what they might actually be. If both prices are a return to the Badab war, then, why a tank commander? I don't recall any of the special characters being a tank commander in the style of the the current space marine character from the codex.

[Architech]

I had the same thought as Salamanderman...kinda cool that the knight grill is separate. Besides...who needs helmets in a tank...He knows no fear...as it was commanded

[BrokenWing]

Also, everyone knows that if someone of high rank or is otherwise really impressive, the last thing they need is a hat to get in the way of them being really impressive. Unless it makes them look creepy.
