Hi there,
In this week’s newsletter we’ve got another fantastic selection of Horus Heresy releases for you: four eagerly-anticipated new Heavy Weapon sets and three new Space Marine armour sets to allow the Legiones Astartes to add Heavy Support squads to their ceramite-clad ranks. We’re also adding to our range of Horus Heresy bundles with no less than nine great new sets.

Space Marine Legion Heavy Support Squads and Heavy Weapon Sets



The Legiones Astartes are provided with devastating, mobile firepower by their heavy support squads; units of Space Marines bearing the heaviest weapons available and tasked with smashing armoured vehicles apart and shattering hordes of enemy troops in withering hails of fire.

Will Hayes has designed three Legion Heavy Support squads, clad in MkII, MkIII and MkIV armour. Each kit contains enough parts to build five multi-part resin Space Marines, comprising five different sets of legs, and shoulder pads, arms, torsos and helmets.

Will has also designed four new Heavy Weapon sets for use with these squads. The Legion Missile Launcher Set, Lascannon Set, Multi-melta Set and Plasma Cannon Set each contain five detailed resin shoulder-mounted weapons for use with the MkII, MkIII and MkIV Heavy Support squads.



World Eaters Legion Brass Etch Symbols



The World Eaters Legion, and their Primarch Angron, were the most savage and dreaded of the Legiones Astartes, and their assignment to a Crusade fleet or warzone meant only one thing for the enemies of mankind: extermination.

Designed by Paul Rudge, this sheet of World Eaters Legion Etched Brass Symbols is packed with over forty detailed brass Legion symbols, perfect for use with our full range of Space Marine Legion Infantry and Vehicles to further personalise your XIIth Legion force.

All these new Space Marine kits are available to order now for immediate despatch.


New Horus Heresy Bundles



The Horus Heresy bundles that we released in November 2012 are still proving to be incredibly popular, so we’ve decided to leave them available for the foreseeable future and have also added several more:

The Legion MkII Assault Squad Set containing twenty Space Marines and a MkIV Power Weapon Set.

The Legion MkIV Assault Squad Set containing twenty Space Marines and a MkIV Power Weapon Set.

The Legion Deimos Pattern Rhino Set containing three of these iconic transports, ideal for creating a mechanised assault element within your Legion force.

The Legion MkII Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkII Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkIII Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkIII Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

The Legion MkIV Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

The Legion MkIV Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

All nine of these new bundles are available to order now for immediate despatch, alongside the existing Legion MkII, MkIII and MkIV Tactical Squads, the Contemptor Dreadnought Talon and the Cataphractii Terminators with Power Fists and Power Axes.

Rhino Set (Did you really need to see 3 rhinos? Really? Fine, here you go...)


I'm not posting the heavy support bundles. Imagine in your head 20 MKII, III, and IV guys with a variety of weapons. Done...

Madness, the 3 rhino set is actually cheaper than buying them separate!

All of these FW bundles ans squad sets are that way.

I was like "5 missile launchers for 12 pounds? Me gusta!" Until I realised they don't come with arms. I see what you did there, Forgeworld...

Yeah, it's like FW understands what "bundle" means.

It's really strange.

Only downside is, I still don't feel much reason to invest in a HH army, but I imagine those weapon and heavy support guys will see plenty of use with normal armies; the GW devestator and Havoc box are just too inefficient in terms of what gear you get, it'd just be easier, and more cost efficient (shocking) to buy the set you want from FW, rather than having to buy multiple boxes of devs/havocs.

Only thing I still don't like the look of the heavy bolters, I prefer the ones with the big backpack ammo box with the ammunition feeder going into the base of gun, rather than the more "conventional" pre-heresy one. It's basically just a big PKM.

The bundling of the autocannons and heavy bolters with the new heavy support guys is a little unhelpful, seeing as those weapons were designed to be used with the regular bolter arms, not the shoulder mounted weapon arms.

Also, no MK III kneeling legs is LAME.

On point (1): You need to look at the pictures. The bundle the correct mix of weapon arms. See?



On point (2): Total agreement. MKIII is my favorite.

Oops. Hmm, I might actually consider these, then. Seems like a better mix than the Legion Tactical Squads that were just four of the exact same armor sets.
