This will be the place for everything non dark eldar from Games Day.

Go for it guys.

**sonofruss**

got this from warseer drool

**MeanGreenStompa**

Hides precious battlewagons in abject terror...

/sniff

**His Master's Voice**

Okay, the extra armor is going on all my future LR.

**Anung Un Rama**

That's the Techmarine gun, isn't it?

**LunaHound**

Hey! its the new FW LR someone mentioned 3 weeks back, proved the gw apologist wrong good job!

**DiscoVader**

Hot damn, are those TL Multi-Meltas AND a Thunderfire cannon?

**SilverMK2**

*Waits for the CSM to one day get some LR love*

Upcoming Forge World (SciFi) stuff (pics by Gedara from Warseer, second and fourth one by BolS, third one by PhilBrad):

New Eldar tanks : Lynx in foreground, 2x Hornet in background.

I really, really like the Mk4 dreads. I think I prefer them to any other variant even based on this one blurry pic. Here's hoping the next time GW updates the plastic kit, it will look like that.

**Sarigar**

Wait, is that an Imperial Jetbike in progress?

I have to admit the chrome paintjob on the Necron centipede thing looks ace.

Eldar tanks.....drool. Damn FW, can't this just be built in plastic, then give us rules in the WD? Bet WD sales will go through the roof with release combinations like that.

Actually not wowed by the Phantom titan. It reminds me a whole lot of the old Armorcast titan.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like a dread arm.

**1hadhq**

Nice cron centipede to keep their undead tomb dwellers theme.

The Eldar seem to get a design change, should be fine but I not a space elf so what do I know?

The Space marine dreads are ugly. Have already too many but wouldn't swap a single one for these.

Achilles Land Raider....so where is the fatal flaw in his armor...

Like the look, the cogwheeel may indicate its a mechanicum unit,no?

**DiscoVader**

You know, Sarigar, I think you might just be right about the Imp. jetbike. If so, that's awesome.

Also, the Necron insect o' doom looks pretty awesome. Looks like some kind of Titan or something?

First tidbit about the upcoming IA11 on Eldar vs. Imperium, more in the upcoming Seminar to follow:

Fraggle over at Warseer wrote:Hi all. I know it's not de related but whilst I'm waiting for the fw seminar thought I post what I chatted to will Hayes and Warwick about IA11. In addition to the vehicles seen there will be new aspect warriors but this will be addressed in the seminar. Warwick did say that they are looking at doing cadian upgrade kits for winter fighting ( boots, gloves, face protection and googles) and also tank upgrade kits (air intakes, snow ploughs etc) These will be to go with the plastic cadian kits but he did say that vahallens may be looked at in the future in the same way as elysians. One last think is that the space wolves will be a whole great company. He wouldn't say which one but did confirm the lord was going to be modelled and ruled out a couple. It was hinted that it may be a mounted model..... The deathwolf perhaps
(...)
No great coats for cadians as would be essentially a whole model rather than an upgrade. Having said that the guard part of IA11 is not a preconcept stage yet, just ideas. Warwick did say most big ideas like skidoos and snow CAT style vehicles would have to be part of a big vahallen project at a later date. Just to avoid confusion this is not a confirmation of vahallens!

They are also looking at pre-heresy in the form of 30k but this is a long way down the line if ever
(...)
3 versions of the phantom Titan likely with warlock to follow. Will said d cannon, and close combat as seem in the build, as well as tremor cannon, sonic lance and a fist ( I think). He said the warlock would depend on how much extra time it took to do. He is lined up for more eldar stuff after the Titan, which will be Available for Xmas.

Warwick gave me anrin through of the IA 11 story which I can post when I'm back home.

Will couldn't confirm any plans for additional super heavy elder
(...)
IA10 hopefully before Xmas and IA11 around march. More on aspects after the seminar which starts in 20mins. I will report back. Eldar small skimmers may have interchangeable turrets by the look of it.
(...)
Just out of seminar. Little bits a pieces. Best is new aspect warriors call shadow spectres. Have jump packs and mini fire prism like weapons which can combine
(...)
The eldar hornets are £32 when released

PhilBrad2 over at Warseer wrote:IA11 definitely SW/Cadians/Elysians vs Eldar.
New aspect for the Eldar - Shadow spectres, think jumpacks with mini prism cannons which can combine beams for added firepower. Models are stunning.
Nothing on the Wolves it wil be a ice planet set and there will be cold weather IG stuff.

BolS wrote:Release schedule is as follows

* IA 9 - Badab War 1
* IA10 - Badab War 2
* IA1 - Second Edition (Updated Rules inline with Codex Imperial Guard etc..)
* IA Model Masterclass Volume 2
* IA11 - Eldar vs Space Wolves, Cadians and Elysians

IA9 and 10 will have background for over a dozen marine chapters between them, and rules for various characters from them.

**Agamemnon2**

The Phantom titan looks very similar to the old one, which is fine by me, at least, since the Armorcast model has aged very well indeed.

**Chimaera**

If anyone attending GD hear's anything on a Thunderwolves kit? Be sure to let us know. Anything on the Libby/Chaplain kit would also be appreciated.

**Powerguy**

That picture of the Phantom looks pretty much identical to the wip version from a few months ago which in turn looked exactly like the Armourcast one. Due to the general lack of detail (only the two shoulder attachments have any detail at all, there are no spirit stones or anything anywhere) it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same one. At that stage it was clearly noted that it was just a quick mock up hence the lack of detail.

I quite like the Lynx it looks sleeker and flatter like the new Fire Prism turret (the Prism/Falcon hull really shows its age with the new turret). It looks suspiciously like a turretless Prism cannon actually. The Hornet (and the other one next to it if its not the same tank) looks a bit weird though, too many chunks taken out of it on strange places. Would probably look better if the cockpit was more swept back and lowered actually.

The Dreads are definitely short on detailing even allowing for the heavy armour plated look shared with the new LR. I'm hoping you don't get stuck with Multi meltas though, putting them on a tank with a Thunderfire cannon seems like a strange choice.

**Gargskull**

Hoping to hear some good 40k expansion/wave release tidbits.

**Heliodore**

The MkIV Ironclads are great, I believe the thing that could be mistaken as a jetbike is actually the seismic hammer for the Ironclad, great looking weapons! The Achilles looks formidable, I can't wait to hear the fluff on this one!

**Ordo Dakka**

WOAH WOAH WOAH, MORE Eldar prism weapons? God dammit they have jump packs too... I hate those damn prisms they always get me.

**kenshin620**

Those eldar vehicles still look a little silly imo. Looks like it took the nonsensical designs of star wars or something

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Philbrad2 from Warseer just left the FW seminar and posted the following:

OK just left the FW seminar

IA11 definitely SW/Cadians/Elysians vs Eldar.

New aspect for the Eldar - Shadow spectres, think jumpacks with mini prism cannons which can combine beams for added firepower. Models are stunning.

Nothing on the Wolves it wil be a ice planet set and there will be cold weather IG stuff.

Hah. Looks like I was spot on hoping for a Thunderfire themed Land Raider.

Anyway, I gotta admit, out of everything shown at this Gamesday, I'm most excited for IA:11, since it'll have my two favorite armies (Elysians and Space Wolves) and, on the whole, unenthusiastic about this whole Badab War business.

Also, what's the point behind these Ironclads? They already have existing kits, and, if memory serves, are a relatively new addition to the Space Marine armory, fluffwise. Maybe they want to retcon in some Venerable Ironclads?

**pj-brainz**

God Bless the Forge thats all i can say!!

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

Got some stuff on Chaos Dwarves:

Engineers, crew, and some machines are done. You can probably find some pictures floating around somewhere.

There is no current plans to reintroduce Chaos Dwarves as a major army-rather, they will be worked into the other Chaos lists.

There are no plans to produce any Chaos Dwarf 'grunts' so to speak at this moment in time.

Artwork for Hobgoblins, Bull Centaurs, and Tauros are done. And if the art is anything to go by, yes, you will want a Tauros.

**bhsman**

Not expecting much, but anything on Grey Knights?

**OoieGoie**

Never bought anything from Forge. Does that mean the new Eldar mini's are gunna be really expensive?

I always hear "ka-ching$" when I hear "Forge World".
