Mk.XVI ‘Damocles’ Armour, in use by the Ultramarines after the Dornian Heresy.

Dornian? when did that happen?

It's an alternate 'history' of the 40K history, where the legions loyal in the official universe rebelled (under Dorn) and those now heretic are the loyalists.
it's a fun story, but in NO way official.

edit: here, as on B&C:

This premier issue is devoted to chronicling something a little different; a twisted alternate timeline in which Warmaster Horus was able to cast off the daemonic influences that sought to possess him, and where the Ruinous Powers were instead forced to corrupt Rogal Dorn to overthrow the Emperor. The Dornian Heresy is the tale of an alternate universe where choices, sometimes large, sometimes small, have led to the familiar primarchs and legions meeting very different fates. For instance, how different might things have turned out if Sanguinius had instead been found and raised by the mutant tribes of Baal, or if Angron's first meeting with the Emperor had been as an honourable ally against the slavers at Fedan Mhor?

It's a fan-made supplement.

Well I was a bit foolish and bought an Enforcer on ebay today. I plan on ordering a few at Adepticon, but at least now I don't have to stand in line for a few hours just to make sure I get one that weekend. A few hours freed up at Adepticon is worth the crazy markup IMO.

You didn't spring for the VIP pass?

Nah. Another foolish move. Honestly I didn't expect to want the LE model this year. Between my gf and I we bought 2 of each last year, and I ordered around 10 more. I have none of those left. I had just planned on doing an order sometime throughout the weekend and just waiting for them to ship them out. Then I saw the awesomeness that is the Enforcer model and...

I love when FW or even GW goes outside the norm. This Enforcer goes way outside IMO. I just couldn't wait. The markup I paid was about the price of the VIP ticket so it should all balance out in the end.

**warpcrafter**

Is it just me, or do the sketches of the "Chaos concepts" just look like variants of Retribution of Scyrah Warjacks?

**AegisGrimm**

The one on the left page looks like an old Space Crusade-style dreadnought.

Its not you, its pretty much a rip off of it.

**ph34r**

I 100% do not see any resemblance Luna. They look like the old chaos dreadnought, new reaver, and brass scorpion to me.

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

I’m with ph34r here. They don’t look like Retribution ‘Jacks at all to me. The first one especially looks like a modern retake of the old Space Crusade Chaos Dread, with some Brass Scorpion style layered armour.

I would LOVE to see that armor made a reality!

**LunaHound**

The left one looks like Transmutate with his head positioned down + Brass Scorpion armor plate slapped on http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/26904-6/P2115707.jpg

The right one is the one I said looks like Scyrah aesthetics / style. Challenge: find me a faction in warhammer that suits that shape , style aesthetics better than Retribution of Scyrah

Ohh... its April 1st I get it.

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

It's April 2nd here. No foolin'. I don't see any significant (only superficial) resemblance.

**Father Gabe**

Please tell me that the Stormeagle is not some april fools thing. Yes I realize a newsletter was released but...you never know.

They took a pic of it somewhere in the open day display case

And I'm hoping the only reason why that concept wasn't used is because the plastic Chaos dreadnaught (when/if it ever comes) will be based off that design instead, lol.

As for your link, I have no idea what that is AND it looks nothing like the concepts.

As for your challenge... lol? The faction that suits the shape style and aethetics of the concepts is... dun dun dun.... chaos? Have you seen the Reaver, Blood Slaughterer, Brass Scorpion, old Dreadnought..? If the retribution of scryah look like anything, it's space elves.

No. It is not. They had a limited quantity of them for sale at Open Day, had them on display at Open Day, etc.

If you plug that picture in GW Chaos army, vs Scyrah army, you would still think it fits Chaos more?

Alright alright lets end it at that.

Whew. Was a bit worried there. Looks kinda nice, probably get one (or wait and see if GW makes plastic version) to go along with my cestus assault rams.

**SagesStone**

I agree that they right one looks a little more fitting with Scyrah than chaos. But it is a concept picture, I'm sure the spikes and skulls will make it look a little less so.

And it appears I was correct about how it would go together - big long resin coverings on either sides, plastic wings, big extension to the read hull.

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

No BA stormeagles. Huh.

**Kroothawk**

Added some better pics and info on Warhammer Forge, including better pics of the K'adaai Fireborn, at the end of the post.
Also added a nice detailed report on 40k. Text quotes are ordered chronologically. Also the pics from each photographer.

**zedmeister**

Nice to see the Zone Mortalis getting some additions - I will play 40k Space Crusade - just need the old style Chaos Dreadnought and I'm all set!

Also

"- Land Raider Spartan likely to be capacity 20, Rapier Laser Destroyer Sponsons, assault vehicle, etc..."

Definitely move over Achilles!

**CaptKaruthors**

Can't wait for this stuff to become available. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

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

Did no one get any shots of:

1. The Mk.III Marine standing behind those ultra-cool Apothecary models.
2. The terrain inside the over-priced resin space Hulk boards?

Good call on the Rapiers. Didn't expect those.

That's FW's last year (2011) event only model for 40k: The MkIII Boarding Marine (with TH/SS)
