Should just have a thing like 'build your titan' where you can use the mechanicum styled body and shoulders or the more knightly ones, then pick weapons loadouts and heads etc.

Dont say that

I wonder if they have any last second models to add to Fires of Cyraxus lineup. Would be cool to get a last second Tau model. I hope but expect nothing but what has been shown.

I agree with this. If they make you buy a regular cerastus knight and then the armour and head upgrades, the price will be ridiculous and youll be left with a full set of cerastus armour and no way to use it. They'd be much better off just offering each knight in mechanicum or mars pattern which is basically what the normal cerastus armour looks like.I've already built and painted my knights so I feel like adding a bunch of mechanicum ones would look strange now. Plus the mars patter warhound matches more with the traditional cerastus design.

The questoris ones will say "Tom Kirby still owns 6.7% of GWPLC! BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!"

That's what I was trying to say, I guess it wasn't clear. This is what they said they were trying to convince management to let them do... I guess we know who won that argument.

They look good, especially with the Mechanicum armour plates. Although the Atrapos already has a suitably AM styled head so I'm not sure why they would use that variant, unless its because its the only one that comes with the cog styling on its armour. Hopefully they will release either the armour separately or packaged with the other Cerastus variants in the future.
Fingers crossed the Questoris frame heads are not to far off as well. The Imperial styled ones looked great and the Mechanicus ones were interesting Its a shame they didn't release them while Renegade was still on shelves though

All I know is that without them releasing the armour separately, I would literally never purchase one of those heads, ,They just don't look right with the normal mars pattern plates on the cerastus knights

First on sale @ European Open day, then at WW afterwards.

Oh goody, yet more things GW won't let me buy for some inexplicable reason.

They'll be available at WHW after the open day.

Yeah, which essentially still equals unable to get for most of us. I'm not all that far from WW in the scheme of things, but it is still too far to go pick up a mug...

Yes, so not available to most people. Or I dunno, maybe there are loads of folk out there willing to spend over a hundred quid on train fares and travel halfway down the country to buy a t-shirt...

Forget country, try halfway around the world.

Awesome. Nile's a pretty sweet band.

Wait wut?

I bought the ciaphas cain mug from the BL site, it's most definitely not dishwasher proof, which means it's used a lot less than I hoped. These might be better quality though.

WHOA AN OPEN DAY TICKET CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT GUYS!!!!!!!!! BEST FRIDAY RELEASE EVER!!!!!!1111!!!!!

New release for today, Thousand Sons decals: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Thousand-Sons-Legion-Transfer-Sheet-FW



There's also a reminder that they still have Open Day tickets on sale for next Saturday.

edit.

Link to file that breaks down the sheet: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/transfer-keys/THOUSAND_SONS_TRANSFER_SHEET%20breakdown.pdf

For a guy who is not interested in Titans, Knights or Mechanicum the last months of FW releases have not been very interesting. Since losing their 2nd best sculptor the HH character series is not moving forward ...

I really like the Thousand Sons transfers.

HERE HE IS !!

I was hoping for the Porphyrion myself, oh well.

Right on cue

Here he comes!

Weirdly not impressed by Russ.

Bummer.

Edit:

I think I need to see him in scale. I know that makes no sense, but that might help me like him if I see him next to some regular Astartes.

I think he looks good, maybe just a bit too blonde.

Those look like some very odd sideburns... Also is he hitting himself in the chin with the rim of his shoulderpad?

Freki and Geri are not going to happen any time soon either.

Reports have said that FW is getting more strategic with their releases, instead of simply releasing stuff as soon as it's ready for sale. I think we can look forward to a lot of new stuff alongside Inferno.


I think Russ is a pretty stunning model.
