Obvious ones being sunfury plasma and bellicosa volcano cannon plus possibility macro gatling blaster.
That missile would need to be whole new type of missile which for some reason reaver cannot carry.
To be fair, the simple option would just be extra vortex missiles. So instead of one, have a rack of two or three.

do people want to take bets when they will make emperor titans? still not happy with the scale of them. the books, etc (some) indicate that titans vary in size, and at warhammer world, the siege of terra have warlords that better fit the scale of the artwork...

Based on what someone said at an open day. It's not in print, so they can easily change their mind if someone sculpts something cool.

Make the Vortex missile Warlord-only. done.  They've only done stats for one missile out of the nine from the original background, so plenty of room to change something.

Just like in the last 3 years we saw plenty of regular gamers being able to afford krieg armies worth 7-8K £ everywhere, I don't think people who don't have the money would buy their titans at GW/ FW.
Also I don't think buying Maserati wheels and seats means you HAVE to buy the whole car now since you already invested 10%.. seems more like a waste.

Or just rack of 2-3 missiles instead of a single shot version. And instead of the ammo hoppers, give it a sensor/comm array back there.

This is the way it has been represented most recently in BL books - essentially a Warlord with special weapons.
FW had said they are bringing these to AT18, so we'll see how they handle it.
I'd like to see the armor plating get some special treatment as well.

There are two, even, official Terran Ordo Sinister fully psychic titans, and bootleg Thousand Sons aligned Zhao-Arkkad Legio with some psychic upgrades, doing which would be as simple as giving them new rules in any expansion. I am actually kinda disappointed they weren't done yet, unlike other Legios mostly cosmetic differences, Xestobiax actually has real, tangible uniqueness...

These all seem like nice specialist games releases. I do somewhat worry about what gets released over the next 6 weeks or so before the HH weekender. Maybe some Warlord upgrades? Isn’t there normally a free shipping voucher around this time of year? I find it hard to be excited by that these day with their lower threshold for free shipping. There’s still some unreleased Deredeo carapace options (missiles and atomantic pavaise I think?)

One pleasant surprise was that the ammo hoppers for the quake cannon are supplied with the gun not the body like the website suggests, they even include pre-made holes for magnets so you can easily swap them out when future weapons are released.

making sets for other plastic kits.

I beg to differ. I always found the Elysians one of the best FW range:
lot a very dynamic figures, great looking weapons,
we even had the seated guys when the range was complete.
One can dislike their style of play, very different from regular guard,
but on the modelling side, nothing but praise on my side. And I own the whole range.
I bought another lot just before they axed them last year, and
feel sad the range is now gone, really.

Elysians got plenty of love. Three IA books as a major player in the story, a whole range of kits, continuous rule updates, and even the aesthetic bits. The reason the army sucked and went OOP is that the kits are a nightmare to build. There's only so much that "love" from the manufacturer can do when trying to build the army is an exercise in frustration.

Strongly disagree here. Half the poses are stupid, the heads (at least without the gas masks) are awful, parts don't fit correctly, and if you want any special weapons have fun cutting out tiny handles and splicing pieces together. My DKoK are so much easier to build thanks to better kit design, and suffer from a much lower rate of " WTF is that" models.

The idea of making alternative heads seems to me one of the greatest successes of FW in a long time!!!
If they do for a lot of races it could be a great success.
Waiting for the genestealer cult.

I think there's a difference when FW is supplying alternate parts for a main line marketed product and when they are making alternate parts for a game only sold through FW itself.
Also I believe GW said they were going to start experimenting with FW stock in local stores - heads might well be one small to produce item that could fit that niche really well.

Ah look at the bright side: At least they're releasing things rather than un-releasing things. Yeah, they could stand to be a bit faster on their feet with the Newcromunda releases, but I'll take a bunch of alternate heads (for minis that mostly wear helmets...  ) than wholesale removal of parts of their product line week in and week out.

*claps* Good job. You found one example from an off-shoot list that doesn't even have a book that can do something a kit can't, whereas all the other examples of Knight weapons follow the kits exactly, pretty much like everything else in the game. I mean really, did you think you'd cracked the code? Found the one chink in the armour that proves, once and for all, that no model = no rule is actually nonsense. Ha! Renegade Knights can have two gatling guns! I'm foiled!

I like how FW takes Necromunda kit with significant % of female bodies then releases all-male head set, while nearly all-male stormcast get all-female head set. It's like they tried the exact opposite of what actually is in the kits. I am not even sure if the entire stormcast range put together has enough female bodies to actually use up the whole head collection...
Though, I suppose making all-official female space marines just got a whole lot easier

Err, OK. I'm not seeing this vast gulf in quality myself, they're heads, most have distinct features and aren't grotesquely anatomically inaccurate. I can get not wanting them because they don't fit with any ideas someone might have at the present time, but it's not like we're comparing some lavish masterpiece with lumpy potato-sculpts.

If it -is- a book, it’s more likely to be Talons rather than Fires. Sure, Fires is wanted, but they’ve said time and time again that it’s practically at the back of the queue.
We know book 8 is coming out soon, with many expecting it to be previewed at the HH Weekender. This could be the “surprise” but, in general GW fashion, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise due to simple expectation.

Why on earth do you think that they'd be announcing Fires of Cyraxus, a 40k book, at a Horus Heresy event?  In any case, that book's dead. They're not going to release it until it's revised to the post-Cicatrix maledictus period, and the author is now running Specialist Games.

Post by: gorgon
Agreed...the surprise isn't going to be a 40K book at a 30K event. It's probably Malevolence, since they've been awfully quiet about it in recent months. Well, that or some oversized centerpiece model that works in either era, since they said "Forge World fans". Seems like their focus for 30K has shifted to selling larger kits and characters to existing customers rather than basic support for new 30K players (which are a relatively rare thing now).
Now, hopefully they release that Talons book after they get through Malevolence and its accompanying releases. But I'm starting to think that it's stuck in the same development hell as Fires. Months behind schedule, selected units released as experimental rules, etc...I'm afraid it looks pretty familiar.

That's a really good point. Why would that thing ever be on the front lines? Even in Epic, the Termites, Mole and Hellbore transports were deployed right at the back with the tunnelers already burrowing at the start of the game. In Epic it made sense as they'd do the range finding and serve LOS purposes (particularly nasty during Assault! missions). I wouldn't be surprised if the Mole is "deployed" already underground without transport (like the Termite) and the transport is to allow it a comfortable seat on the shelf or to serve the odd scenario mission.
9675
Post by: Looky Likey
It would be nice if the transporter could launch the mole at something. After all when its little brother termites come up from the ground they cause melta hits, so why not when their big brother is launched as well?
The transport has a few weapons on it so its not totally useless. Other thing it could do, is remove or reduce the need to scatter that termites suffer from at present by coordinating the tunnelling.

Probably about right. This thing is glorious looking (and goes on my long term wishlist). It's the kind of the thing you build an entire army around. That and a bunch of termites popping up with hordes of Robots, Skitarii and Myrmidons would be terrifying. Or, worse, that popping up with hordes of red butchers and associated nails'd up World Eaters...

Not every game has to be a pitched battle on the front lines. It might have been ambushed before it could deploy, or caught up in a raid at it's HQ...

Why would basilisk? Manticore? Generally most airplanes? For that matter titans rarely are that close to enemy either with long range duels being the name of the game. 40k ranges and what's in battles rarely make sense from logic POV

Well... I suppose that is the first custodian unit that I actually don't like (Valdor taking the honor of the first custodian model though!). Pass. It's a little too birdmen from that 80's Flash Gordon movie for me personally and I suspect that was the original inspiration for this. YMMV.

Yeah, same. I don't get why they apparently forgot to put half their armour on - if the Imperium can make jump packs capable of lifting the ridiculous lunks from the Primaris range, you think they'd be able to manage something for their super-duper-leet bodyguard guys.

Not every game has to be a pitched battle on the front lines. It might have been ambushed before it could deploy, or caught up in a raid at it's HQ...
There's a great bit in Starship Troopers about how they're taught close combat because they're used to kill the enemy before the enemy can push the big red button of doom.

"Relatively"- probably still at least a 3+ I reckon they will be incredibly agile- those jetpacks look very manouevrable. Custodes spend a not-inconsiderable amount of time sneaking around in stealth bodysuits, so I think they are totally at home fighting in lighter, more agile armour.

And here they are: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Legio-Custodes-Venatari-Squad-2019
Vaunted as a high honour among the Legio Custodes, the role of Custodian Venatari is reserved for a scant few – those with proven skill and mastery of the rare, sophisticated flight system and archeotech weapons they wield. The Venatari are specialists in hunting direct threats to the Emperor amidst the sprawl of the Palace walls and its spire-tops. While shield companies patrol the vast hallways and cavernous rooms of the Imperial Palace, the Venatari are elevated above, making their domain among the rooftops and spires, overseeing and assessing the threat of all who enter or leave. Their predatory instincts have earned the Venatari the nickname of ‘the Emperor’s Hunting Eagles’, standing as immobile and vigilant as the birds of prey of Old Earth atop the mountain peaks before swooping into a killing dive.
A Custodian Venatari Squad is an Elites choice for a Talons of the Emperor army list. The unit’s rules are available as a free pdf download from the Forge World website.
The Legio Custodes Custodian Venetari Squad includes three complete miniatures, each cast in finest-quality resin. Each Custodian Venatari may be equipped with a Venatari lance or an archeotech kinetic destroyer and Tarsus buckler, and the set includes the components to assemble all three miniatures with either weapon option.
Also available in bundles.
And the other arms included:

They are intended to fight like fully-armoured medieval knights against other knights- disable with the polearm and finish with the dagger through the gap once they are pinned on the floor.
Of course, the degree of abstraction in 40k makes the rules pretty far from this. I like the method of giving an extra attack though.

It would need some kind of disabling mechanic, and some bonus to using the dagger against disabled models. Otherwise, there is no point using the daggers- just use the superior polearms twice. These rules just sort of roll it all into one phase of Custodes mayhem.
Whilst I like the cinematic idea of a Custodes using it's spear to wrestle a Carnifex to the ground then stab it through the eye with a dagger, I think this would rather slow down the game to implement in any semi-realistic way.

The fact it's pretty much the only weapon for some custodes? Say, banner bearer if you choose shield, or the gun toting ones? 8th edition Custode can stab his opponents with his short sword, HH one can only punch them. And it's not like other ones couldn't use it, either, especially seeing HH actually has bonus attack for having two weapons...

Right, I forgot the spiculus. So for dual fists its: 180 + 40 + 40 + 15 + 15 + 14, still puts it at like a 101 point decrease. Which is pretty cool I think.

a single fist is listed at 30, and the dual at 40. So you only need to add the 40 once. There's only a 10 point difference for having 2 fists and it gives an extra attack now.

Like other Primarchs, Sanguinius will be available as part of the Horus Heresy Character Series. However, unlike his brothers, there will be two versions available. The already impressive Character Series version (above), and a special edition of the model that features an extraordinary display base. Both versions will be available to buy at the Horus Heresy Weekender first. A little while later, the special edition will be available online for a limited time, and at future shows, meaning everyone has a chance to get their hands on one. The Character Series version will join the other Primarchs on the Forge World website soon.
More info here
Looks like the surprise might not be Sanguinius.

There's something about it (and I can't quite put my finger on it) that puts me off the Sanguinius model. It's almost as if they designed him in a standing pose, then thought "let's just glue him onto some scenery so he's flying". Not sure if it looks 100% natural. I also hope that's part of his tabard behind his foot, and not some weird high-heel.

Probably just down to the angle, but finding the leg pose a little odd, looks more like he's sliding down something than flying, but hopefully other angles will avoid that look.
Interesting about the display base, obviously all the previous primarchs have come with larger display bases but looks like he just has the 40mm gaming base on the standard model (unless there are two different display bases, a 60mm one for the standard model which they just haven't shown yet and the limited edition one).
Maybe the designer just got carried away with the base and they realised it would double the price of the model to include it or something, so they just decided to make it a separate version to keep the price of the standard model down (as I imagine he's going to be priced similarly to the other Primarchs even without the large base)
113991
Post by: Kdash
I agree, I think it’s a mix of the angle and the right leg which just feels a little “off” for a pose that’s supposedly him charging down from above.
Also, I don’t know why, but, to me the model just also doesn’t look like 30k Sanguinius should do, in my mind. I’m just not getting the “regal/angelic” vibe from it.
Also… Why does it look like he has several Eyes of Horus on his chest plate?!? They aren’t, but they look so similar from the whole paint scheme of them.
