The photograph of Haklfem is terrible, I didn't realise he had a second head or a fourth arm until I read it in the description.

The verminlord on the other hand looks like an utter beast.

In other news, the Elysians and Kriegers are back in stock on thier webstore.

Amusingly, I was in my local GW on Saturday for a couple of paints, and the manager mentioned that the company seems to take really poor pictures of models (this was after we looked at the new Goblin secret weapon guys on the computer there).

He did mention something about them having hired a new model photographer recently, so we'll see if things change.

My only regret is that I can't make a Space Marine joke.

Blood Bowl Orcs.

Those are probably the Orcland Raiderz.
Funnily enough, ts gonna be a dated joke soon lol.

Some new Hobbit bits showing up Not a big fan of the Troll. Not the models fault, the design in general doesn't do much for me. But Gwaihir is awesome. He's a definite pick up.

Sweet ing Emperor it looks like the Michelin Man with nipples.

The sculpt is very good, but that desing was awfull in the movie, and is awfull in the miniature...
I really love the LOTR aesthetic, but I can't winstand the HOBBIT's one...

I'm loving the troll. There's something morbid in him.

...literally?

Be excited, this means that more resources could go towards yet more Space Marines. HH stuff.

You seem to complain about this.

A lot.

Maybe time to...not post yet another complaint about it?

Can't wait to see how the Doom Diver works in Blood Bowl.

All complaints retracted by MOD order.

And I JUST saw the tech-priest on the box (hopefully that's a new HH boxed set) My enthusiasm spikes 500% at the thought of plastic Thallax/whatever.

What is that game supposed to be.

It's the old HH board game.

Mechanical heart crushed in chest. Ouch.

Its the newest HH board game. There is another... older game.

Isnt that the one where like, a guardsmen can kill Horus if kitted out right?

No, because the smallest unit counter in the game is a regiment or Chapter.

Given that L J Goulding writes novels, it looks like they're working out the details of the novel to cover the Siege of Terra ...

I had posted that pic here yesterday as part of the Battle for Terra-retconning-/40k Sanguinius-/future BA campaign-discussion in the 8th edition thread. If it had been quoted with context, it would have helped This was discussed by Mr. Goulding on B&C and other forums about half a year ago and he posted the photo on twitter. It was the final meeting for the HH book and game setting, and to coordinate BL and FW products as I understand it.

Already pointed out by TimD, there was an earlier Wargames Series by Jervis Johnson which consisted of four boxed games (and a White Dwarf expansion called Warmaster) in 92/93 and laid the foundation for several major storylines in the setting, many only mentioned briefly before

- Horus Heresy (plus Warmaster article in WD)
- Battle for Armageddon (plus boxed expansion)
- Doom of the Eldar

The photo shows the FFG HH remake from a few years ago and other original source material like WD articles. Back in the early 90s Bill King supported the series and fleshed out the storylines with his (imo really good) fiction material. It didnt change much later afaik. But if you read it today, it is quite basic. Later followed the CCG game and the source books by Alan Merrett.

Taking Atias hint into consideration, FW and BL seem to take this serious and are working on more interesting material for the finale of the HH. I dont see how this is different to books like Master of Mankind for example. I trust them to make it an interesting endavour both in fiction and gaming material.

I hope LJ Goulding doesn't have anything to do with that. His latest effort for the Scythes of the Emperor, Daedalus is terrible.

Dan or Graham will probably do the last book, or fingers crossed, AD-B.

Iron Hills Chariots are up today on FW:



I am not sure it's worth the price... But it's real pretty!

Also, https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-CA/Legio-Custodes-Caladius-Grav-Tank-Annihilator-2017

Thanks for that But Jez-us that price. Oh well, I guess working it out from the other components isn't wasn't that far off. And it's so expensive points wise, no army is going to need more than one.

Laurie was the editor, he doesn't work there any more, but he commissioned the remaining HH novels before he finished.

Awww nuts after 14mths out of stock the Eldar corsair kit has been taken oout back and shot due to lack of sales .

It would appear the cull has started.

I doubt it has anything to do with a new photographer. They are often photographing pre-production models (can still see the striations from 3D printing) and not putting the effort in to capture good angles and editing. No company is silly enough to have the photographer alone making the final decision about what actually gets printed, it's more a quality control issue further down the line.

I am pretty sure he was referring to leaks of the full models, not the Rumour Engine image. It is a general comment about GW not choosing the best angles for photographing it's models.

Yup, gotta clear space for the inevitable primus marine kits. I miss the more unique kits FW used to release. And I miss the carcharadons transfer sheet. Is the hobbit stuff they are releasing actually selling? I was under the impression the hobbit game was on its deathbed and would vanish when the license expires...not to mention the hobbit movies were kind of cringeworthy.
