Hi There,

Happy New Year from all at Forge World! In this, our first Newsletter of 2011, we have two new Space Marine releases to start the year, along with additional Badab War content now available to download and news of the first three events that we’ll be attending this year.

Thanks,
Ead Brown

Tyberos the Red Wake, Available to Pre-Order Now
Tyberos the Red Wake is a uniquely detailed multi-part resin kit designed by Will Hayes. Tyberos was presumed to be the commander of the Carcharodons Chapter during their unlooked-for and savage intervention in the Badab War, leading his Terminator-armoured brethren in bloody assault after bloody assault from the notorious battle barge Nicor.

Tyberos gained a dark fame for his brutal combat prowess and the two unique power weapons with which he carved a path of mangled and shredded corpses through the Secessionist forces. Known as ‘Hunger’ and ‘Slake’ these ancient relic-gauntlets, which combine barbed power blades with an inner maw lined with vicious teeth, are of a pattern and manufacture unknown to the Adepts of Mars.

With devastating special rules published in Imperial Armour Volume 10: The Badab War Part 2, Tyberos the Red Wake adds deadly close combat capacity to a Codex Space Marines army, and allows a unit of lightning claw-equipped Assault Terminators to be chosen as a Troops choice. This sinister special character is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 24th of January.

Black Templars Transfer Sheet, Available to Pre-Order Now
Zealous, fleet-based defenders of Mankind, the Black Templars have waged a 10,000 year crusade against the alien, the heretic and the witch. This new A4 Black Templars Transfer Sheet, designed by Paul Rudge, is packed with over a thousand individual Chapter badges, Crusade heraldry, mottos, litanies and blazons that can be used on vehicles and infantry.

The Black Templars Transfer Sheet is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commending the 24th of January.

Additional Badab War Content Available to Download Now
The Forge World warehouse has been relentlessly shipping Imperial Armour Volume 10: The Badab War Part 2 for the past few days, and we’re glad to announce that all pre-orders for this extremely popular book have now been despatched.

Alan Bligh’s first draft contained several extra scenarios that we didn’t have room to print in the book, and the first of these is now exclusively available to download here and here. To get the most out of these scenarios will require Imperial Armour Volume 9 and Imperial Armour Volume 10, as each provides a unique tactical challenge based on some of the major engagements in this most bloody conflict. You can also find two new special characters, Arch-Centurion Carnac Commodus and Master Harath Shen, to add to the bloody legend of the Badab War on the tabletop.

Dates for Your Diary – Forge World 2011 Events News
With the New Year only a few days old, here at Forge World we’re already planning our calendar of globe-trotting events for 2011, and we’re proud to announce the first three:

AdeptiCon, Chicago – 1st to 3rd April 2011
For the very first time, Forge World will be attending AdeptiCon 2011 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Centre in Chicago, IL. We’ll be bringing a wide selection of our resin kits, modelling products and Imperial Armour books, and hopefully a few currently unseen new releases as well!

You can place a reservation order either by telephoning the Customer Service team on 011 44 115 916 8177 or by sending an e-mail titled ‘AdeptiCon reservation’, including your name and a list of the items you’d like to reserve, to [email]ForgeworldReservations@games-workshop.co.uk[/email] for AdeptiCon.

The Forge World Open Day, Nottingham – 3rd April 2011
Warhammer World in Nottingham will play host to the fifth annual Forge World Open Day on Sunday the 3rd of April. We’ll be bringing you huge participation games, our annual Painting Competition and the return of our Charity Titan Raffle.

Our vast sales stand will, as always, be packed with our full range of products including some top-secret new releases.

Daaaaamn you Red one!

**reds8n**

..working links FTW

**vaatbak**

Still rember the shark guy that was supposed to be a conversion, it's not.

sadly

**CadianXV**

High Five anyone?
Anyone?
No?

**Tim the Biovore**

I love the look of that guy. Suitably rippy.

**johnstewartjohn**

Is that any different too the original supposed conversion or is it the same?

**AgeOfEgos**

Wtf, are those chainfist/powerfist/lightning claw doo hickeys?

.. he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he chainfists/powerfists/lightning claws ya, and those black eyes roll over yellow and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. So, eleven hundred men went in the ship; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, 901.M41. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

**reds8n**

Yes, he can split his attacks with them -- bit like Logan's axe IIRC.

**Fifty**

Sweet. Loving the Arch-Centurion for my Tyrant's Legion.

I believe a certain someone needs to make a retraction that they were wrong about the release of this model???

**H.B.M.C.**

Who, exactly?

**BrookM**

I've got a feeling as to who this might be.

**MajorTom11**

Lol oh I think we all know lol

I can't wait to see how he gets out of this one, the Houdini of miniature predictions!

**Theduke07**

Hope we see transfers for all the major Badab chapters.

**BrookM**

As always by twisting the words into something that makes it look like it can slither away unscathed in some fashion.

**MajorTom11**

*goes to make popcorn and get situated for the inevitable 4 page back and forth of accusation and rebutal.*

This is going to be AWESOME.

=]

**Yzz**

Those chainclaws Tyberos has could be great for a Chaos Termie. I'm actually impressed by Harath Shen.

~~Yzz

**BrookM**

Anyway, looking at commander Sharkticon's gloves, I've got to say he's something of the Astartes equivalent of the Flash Git.

**Boss Salvage**

Lovely model, great head and all, just a bit wonky in the weapons department. I do like that the Space Sharks have apparently been recast as the Carcharodons, grabbing a little self-respect with the scientifico name change

- Salvage

**Nick Ellingworth**

I think I'm going to have to get a couple of those Tyberos models, one to paint properly and the other to convert, I reckon it'd make a great Black Templar Marshall with a bit of work.

**Chowderhead**

YEAH, those look like an Ork went too far off the deep-end.

Gonna probably get them for the arms alone, just strap them to a warboss.

**ChiliPowderKeg**

There's a "Yo Dawg!" joke about Tyberos that needs to be made.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Should have had a beakie helm with shark mouth on it.

**Sarrazon**

Awesome, they actually released him. Without a doubt I'm gonna have to pick him up. That said, I do wish he was a bit more... ostentatious. And I never thought I'd be saying that about a FW model, but there it is - he looks like a captain, sure, but he's kinda missing something to really kick it up to chapter master level. Maybe I'll give him a cape or something once I have him.

**BrookM**

The lack of extra bling really befits the background of the model. He's here for killing, not strutting his stuff and making the other Chapters jealous.

**Sarrazon**

Yeah, that's why I'm a little split on it. I get that he's supposed to be a lean-mean-killing-sharkthing, but I want the model to stand out a little on the battlefield. But you're right, a cape is probably a little too far. Maybe an Emperor's Champion-style tabard, all ripped up and battle worn.

I like the arms/weapons... not keen on the rest of the model to be honest, especially the skulls. They look horrible.

How about a big ass fin on the helmet?

Very tempting, but I was thinking about saving the fins for Fast Attack choices (Landspeeders and Bikes specifically).
