The quilting on those shoulder/thigh pads is a bit sloppy,

I must be the only one not so hot on the whole not-thunderfire quad mortars they are putting on the marine equipment. I like the thudd gun look more tbh. More cut and dry visual identification.

I think I might just get the SA one and lop off the dude curled up on the back.

Y'know, I really want to like the Solar Auxilla guys but the suits they wear are so...I dunno, odd.

Which is a pretty silly reason not to like something in 30k/40k given some of the silly crap that already exists.

Like the min-tanks/mounted weapons though, would make for a decent set of thudd guns.

I'm using Victorian Guard for my regular Solar Auxilia Tercios, both cheaper and a great excuse to field them in blocks of twenty.

I do use FW's excellent Veletaris and Flamer auxiliaries, the casting quality is indeed bloody brilliant and the hoses are nowhere near a pain in the arse I feared them to be.

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #51

As a hobbyist, I always get excited when I see new models nearing completion in the Forge World Studio, especially when I have the chance to show you what’s being released soon. This week I didn’t get my hands on just one awe-inspiring new model, but two! The first certainly looks like something new for the Space Marines, but the second is most definitely in thrall to the dark gods. Take a look…





Two new kits coming soon from the Forge World Studio.

A few weeks ago, I showed you a small part of Dimitrios Tampakoudis’ Ultramarines Legion – you can see them HERE. Since then, Dimitrios has added some armoured punch to his Legion. There’s a Spartan Assault Tank to speed his Terminators into battle, a Sicaran Battle Tank with its punishing Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon and a Leman Russ Incinerator that’s joining Dimitrios’ newly founded Solar Auxilia allies. It’s not only tanks though. Dimitrios has also added a unit of Legion Destroyers, a controversial choice for the Ultramarines perhaps, but in the dark days of the Horus Heresy needs must!





The latest additions to Dimitrios’ Legion.

Next week's bulletin will be coming from the USA! Forge World is heading to Adepticon 2015 in Chicago and I'll be there too. If you're going to Adepticon as well, make sure you stop by the Forge World stand. Keep your eyes out for a newsflash later this week for more on Adepticon 2015.


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


Chris.

Lovely flyer; hope that one gets a set of 40k rules as well.

I also like, that FW gives some spotlight to other peoples painted armies. It's often quite inspiring.

The new flyer is suprisingly large and I'm expecting a similar load out to the Lightning, i.e., beast mode for 30k anti tank.

I'm still not sold on Samus's sculpt, but it'll shake up 30k with the addition of daemons to the traitor ranks.

Is the Herakles pattern accelerator autocannon new? It might be a hint at what's to come with the Ultramarines, especially given it's very Greek name

That flyer looks cool so far, and Samus is pretty awesome.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

What? C'mon guys, we all know GW would never, ever take any inspiration from another source. All their ideas are though of in a vacuum, totally independent from the influences of other sources.

How dare you guys even suggest that.

I like the flier but the pilot just looks incredibly daft, the guy's sat in a cockpit in his powered armour... why!?!

The shoulderpads stand out so much, along with his bulky torso.

It'd be awesome if Forgeworld actually provided a pilot that might keep the same aesthetic helmet design as a regular marine soldier guy but had a more practical, less bulky flight suit option. (There were some Tau ground crew and pilots available a few years back, if memory serves but more for diorama purposes I think.)

It's a nice model otherwise, I swear!

He's a space marine.. that's what they wear. I don't think it is impractical as long as the vehicle is designed specifically for an 8ft power armored marine's frame. Drivers and crew for other astartes vehicles have always been modelled in power armor for as long as I've been playing (3rd edition with 2nd edition models). Rhino gunner? Power armor. Thunderhawk pilots? Power armor. Storm Raven pilot? Power armor. If it's an astartes, the rule is that the fig is in power armor of some sort (which includes terminators, centurions, etc) with scouts as the rare exception overall.

Yes, that much is true but they look just as daft in the Stormravens and whatever that smaller contraption is called, they look squeezed in as though the scaling for the bulk of the powered armour was an afterthought.

A door/hatch gunner in a relatively exposed position for an APC seems quite practical, in many ways.

Wearing said suit of armour for piloting a fast moving aircraft seems less so!

It's easily modified by sitting the guy lower in the cockpit and removing his ENORMOUS shoulderpads... (for flying, really? )

I am nitpicking though, as I quite like the aircraft itself.
