It'd be better if you could create a squadron out of them. As it sits, taking 1 per heavy support slot in an Age of Darkness game is pointless. Might as well take a Sicaran Venator instead...

They had the exp. rules for it at the last event

2 fire modes

36 7 2 Heavy 4
or
36 7 2 Heavy 1 Gets Hot Large Blast


Is that for each weapon? So that's 8 twin linked plasma gun shots out to 36"?


Both arms amount to a single weapon system, just like the auto cannons.

Its the number of shots with the new Vindicator that causes me to completely forget about them, well rather the lack of them. If they gave it D3 shots I'd be much happier but a unit of 1 with 1 shot ain't going to do much.

I'd rather take a few Rapier Laser Destroyers than either the Vindicator or the Venator if I was struggling for something in that sort of role and couldn't ally in Mechanicum to get hold of a couple of Krios and a Lightning.

Yeah, with the cost of the laser Vindicator, well, for a few points more you might as well get a Sicaran Venator instead.

I wonder if FW plans to represent the attrition of war by raising the point cost of certain units as the Heresy progresses.

And new rules for the Vindicator Laser Destroyer

An improvement, but still outclassed by the Sicaran Venator.

Good stuff for the Raven Guard (finally...). Some of the head and torso upgrades have been very hit and miss, these are most certainly the former. Love the helmet with the sculpted stripe, the head bare head is refreshingly normal and well sculpted, too (never a certainty with FW.

Hmm, I think I will now get the laser Vindicator, since it can fire up to three shots. I already have a regular Sicaran, so one or two of these alongside it could be fun.

I'm definitely wanting to try the new Vindicator. Not often you get that many high powered shots for the range in a Marine army.

Looks cool and the rules sound interesting. A 3 shot overheating lascannon that in effect rerolls misses and armor pen? That could work. My main marine army is almost all 2nd edition or earlier (like the RT design vehicles) and I have a rapier that I never did anything with. I'll have to test fit it and see if it fits in the barrel of my old vindicator since I don't think I'd evern make it into a thunderfire cannon like I had planned for years.

Something pointed out by Ponch160 on Warseer- per the rules, Grey Knights can take one. "Heavy Support choice for any Space Marine faction codex" which Codex: CSM defined as including Grey Knights.

Finally GK have some affordable ranged anti-tank.

New bulletin with the Warlord Titan leg...


FORGE WORLD BULLETIN 57

Salute 2015 was fantastic! This year was definitely the busiest we’ve ever been at the event, so a huge thank you to all of you who came to see us and went home with awesome new models, and to all the staff at Salute who helped make it such a great day. As you can see from the picture below, there were plenty of people waiting to get their hands on Forge World models and Event Exclusive merchandise. Whole fleets of Xiphon Interceptors made their way into people’s armies and the Thanatar-Calix was a must-have for Mechanicum players. If you’ve got an opponent with a Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine army who went to Salute, watch out as there may be a Deimos pattern Vindicator Laser Destroyer gunning for your armoured vehicles in your next game!


The Forge World team at Salute 2015.

If you didn't make it to Salute, don't worry. We'll be back at the Excel London from May 22nd-24th for the MCM London Comic Con with all of our awesome Event Exclusive merchandise and our latest kits and books.

There were plenty of questions asked at Salute about the latest video on the Forge World Visual Feed. I don’t have many answers for you yet, but I did manage to snap something under construction in the Forge World Studio recently. Take a look...


Building commences on something huge!


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


Chris.

I've been told the Warlord will sell for a grand (plus weapons of course), so that is probably and Hundred quids worth of resin in that foot alone!

That queue was a drag, but I'm sure it was easier for the chaps on the stand to make sales as they were quickly able to complete orders and get on to the next customer.

I preferred the old scrums though; I can't be the only one that likes close proximity to BO and the occasional Rucksack being thrust into you eye?

£500 for the Warlord body would have been an out and out bargain as the Reaver body alone costs £438.

if the Warlord body is £1k alone then I'm not going to bother until the Chaos version arrives as it'll be around another £300 for the weapons.

Ye gods, they really are doing it.
I mean, it's one thing for there to just be artwork of a newly designed Warlord, but to actually see the physical evidence of the model itself like that, wow. After all, one could argue that it was just a digital design mockup used in that video's artwork, and not an actual model in the picture, but this, this makes it more real, somehow.

I wonder how solid most of it will be? They've clearly been using digital design for more of their recent stuff, and it's impressive how much of their newer vehicles are large, solid pieces (the sides of the Sicaran are, for example, one piece, tracks and all).
