I wanted more. I've been waiting for the discussed Thousand Sons IA for ages. The release of this just puts that completely on the shelf. The highest shelf.

What, next to the gentleman's special interest magazines?





Sorry, had to... I'll get my coat.

Probably higher.......

TBH at the moment I would expect there to be a direct correlation between "new stuff FW produces" and "stuff FW thinks will get lots of sales", and much, much less of "FW producing stuff cos it's cool".

I get the feeling that Kirby, in his increasing desperation, has been leaning on Tony Cottrell:

"We need all the money NOOOOOOWWWW"

"But, this new retro throwback cool idea will enrich the bac..."

"We need the money, more Marines NOOOOWWW"

You do realized everything above describes the Horus Heresy right?

Just saw that the FW prices went up with about 0.50 to 2 pounds. Anyone knows what's up with that?

You mean Forge World, a buisness, is making things that will sell well rather than just making stuff for the hell of it..? No wayyyyyy.

Any info at all on a chaos sicaran?

For some reason, this re-started FW N&R thread has taken a turn for the worse as of late.

As a quick refresher, here are the rules for this site:

Please make sure to keep them in mind BEFORE making a post in here, or really, anywhere, on Dakka Dakka.

Thanks!

Yeah, I know. To be fair, they've been doing a really good job of the Horus Heresy and I've unashamedly been collecting a HH force. Though, I do lament the current, hopefully temporary, lack of variety introduced with the Imperial Armour series.

No it just means that the HH stuff takes a long time to make.

Anyway, I can live without the fancy case and a map. GW tries to fool us with that, and it won't work with FW.

But isn't the Horus Heresy range the main focus of the Forge World staff? That's why Warhammer Forge has been put off track, right?
I remember reading that at least sometime ago...

The problem is, that's actually a departure from the classic FW design theory.

They've ALWAYS just made what they wanted to make, and some of it doesn't sell, which is cool (Manta, Imperial Fortress, Great Fire Dragon or whatever), but they did it because they wanted to. Now it seems like they are more and more into making just what sells in quantity so that they can continue to help prop up GW's sagging sales numbers.

Chaos Knights.

Calling it.


Panic...

A member of another board I frequent asked FW this week if there were Chaos Knights in the future, this was the reply:

ForgeWorld wrote:Hi,
Thank you for your email.
We do not have any current plans to produce a Chaos Knight Variant, but you never know, it may be something we produce at some point in the future.

So no, it's not a Chaos Knight.

Inflation? FW doesn't do price increases very often.

I'm happy to see more Chaos stuff after all the Xenos love in the IAs of late. I just hope there's some new units in there as well.

Inflation linked price rises. They'll happen from time to time, but only at this sort of low level. GW customers may not be used to seeing such small increments many years apart, but it is perfectly normal.

People seem to forget some of the new stuff created in the HH, even if it is all power armor.

I for one welcome our new chaos renegade overlords... give's me somthing besides nurgle to shoot at!

Most of the recent stuff has been Mechanicum actually, and there is the Solar Auxilla coming out soon too. So it's not all power armor.

With the Vraks bundle of three being £50 and the new IA13 at £50 you can get the masses of fluff and the latest rules for £100, less than what Vraks used to cost by itself.

I'm expecting HH 4 tomorrow, putting off adding IA13 to my reservation till then.

For anyone who has a cerastes already, do they look ok with normal knights when set up together (despite the height difference)?

Yes, both are great looking models but the FW ones are a bit better looking.

So no campaign or anything new then?

Seems a bit of a rush/cash grab tbh.

Does this mean the overpriced HH stuff isn't selling as well as thought?

Honestly, this is the way to do it. One book with all the rules for everything chaos. And it even has an army list in there and not a lot of fluff/campaign junk to skip past. Wish they'd just do this for every army. I bought the IG one and it was an amazing book. Rules for every FW model sans titans. Unfortunately they went and released an IG codex and apoc books a year later and made the book mostly useless.

New Riptide up on FW website....


...is what I hope to be saying this time in 12 hours.

God I want those rules and I don't even have a Tau army anymore.

Why 12 hours so specifically?

What is interesting is that these two Eldar Knights are totally in scale with each other when you compare the sizes of the original Epic models of the Fire Gale and Towering Destroyer.

10am gmt is when FW normally release new stuff on their site :]

So, is it safe to say that nothing will be released this week? I need something. Either the riptide or the last FW Knight. SOMETHING!!!

I'm gutted! I was so hopeful!

RULES ARE UP!!!

For 230 points, this thing is ridiculous.

Actually, never-mind, it's not that bad, the longest range it has is 12"

It has 4 wounds?

It's flamer is a beast!
It can move as a swooping monstrous creature- nice.
It's other gun is strangely short ranged considering its size?
It's bs4! But it's best weapon is a flamer - haha.

It's nova invuln only works on combat but it can elect to leave combat? Nice!

That ionic discharge blaster thing when nova'd will wreck the frick out of any vehicle! D3+3 gaks will equate to 5 shots on average hitting 3 times at strength 8 + 3 haywire hits.

That's a tank taking 3 glances from haywire + x more from the initial shots.

I like it! It's pretty.

Honestly, it seems pretty decently balanced, it has no long-ranged weaponry, but it's short ranged weaponry is powerful.

WOW! 230 points? Guess I can get 3 in my riptide army now! A bit easier to kill now that the 3++ nova charge is gone but that flamer and Ionic Cannon are sweet.

Short range but powerful. Not sure why they felt the need to mention that the Torrent only had 6" range twice for each weapon, but...

Combined with a 24" move that Ionic Discharge Cannon spells death for any vehicle when overcharged.
