Hi There,

In this newsletter we have another batch of new releases for you in the shape of our Krieg Modified Arkurion Pattern super heavy tanks, a few event announcements and some painted miniatures to show off. Keep your eye out for more newsletters soon with yet more exciting models.

Thanks
Alan Bligh



Krieg Super Heavy Tanks
Our new releases in this newsletter are our new Death Korps of Krieg Modifiied conversion sets for our Arkurion Pattern Shadowsword, Stormsword, and Stormblade variants. These conversion kits show the field modifications the Death Korps regiments make to their fighting vehicles to enable them to better endure some of the harshest battlefields of the 41st millennium, but are equally suited to adding extra detail to any Imperial Super Heavy detachment.

This conversion kit, which you can picture Here, is designed by Daren Parrwood and is made up of tank air filters, scrubbers, and an armoured shield for the tank`s main gun. Plus a Krieg tank commander, a Krieg driver model and a special pintle mount with heavy stubber.

This conversion kit is either available on its own, or as a complete kit with our resin/plastic Stormblade, Shadowsword or Stormsword. Additionally we are offering a special price when you buy any three, which includes free upgrade to express shipping, (just as with our regular Arkurion tank variants.)
Please note however that this conversion set has been designed specifically to work with our resin and plastic Arkurion variants and is not fully compatible for the plastic Baneblade kit alone.

This conversion kit and the complete kits are both available to pre-order now for release the week commencing the 30th of June.

Painting Showcase
We also have some new painted models to show you in the shape of one of our most popular new releases; the Death Guard Terminators, shown Here painted by their designer Mark Bedford. As you can see, Mark has not only done a great job on these, but also used the pre-heresy Death Guard colour scheme and applied layers of `Nurgle-esque` corruption to achieve a unique look.

Not to be outdone by the Powers of Chaos, Phil Stutcinskas has painted these fantastic looking Death Korps of Krieg Engineers to tie in with Imperial Armour Volume 6: The Siege of Vraks part 2. The Death Korps remain one of our most popular lines, and you can look forward to the engineers themselves getting some new equipment and upgrades in future newsletters.

Reaver Titan Order Update
Owing to ongoing high demand and the work involved in producing these massive model kits, orders for our new Reaver Titans are experiencing more delays than we would like at the moment, and it may be a few weeks before we can get your order out to you, but rest assured we`ll get your Reaver Titan out to you as soon as we can.
If you have already ordered a Reaver Titan from us, or are planning to order one, don�t hesitate to give our sales and customer service team a ring on 0115 916 8177 within the UK, or 01 144 115 916 8177 from the US or Canada, or 00 44 115 916 8177 from Europe, and they`ll be happy to help with any queries you have about availability or dispatch.

*sigh*

Still nothing on IA6.

I want that book...

BYE

Me too. : /

I really want the rules for those combat engineers already

Good to see they went with the white armour and green trim for the DG termies ala the pre heresy scheme.

Thanks for letting us know about the delays for the reaver titan... I'll be sure to note it when I finally win the lottery and can afford to buy one.

Actually I really dislike the termi painting, its rushed drybrush and kind of puts these awesome kits down.

Or just sell off old models like I did to finance it. Although I must admit that the Titan does look rather daunting to assemble and paint.........

listen to 40K radio, I believe the release date they gave was aug/sept?

They said September, which is fine, but I want to see a contents page.

So do you actually have it? If you do, dont forget to start a blog when you start making it, As I would love to see how you build one.

I`ll see what I can do. If only I wasn`t so notiously lazy at doing WIPs...............

Are you talking about the Reaver or the Warhound, if it's the Warhound, check out my signature, if it's the Reaver, I'll be working on it if it ever arrives.

I certainly hope mine will be arriving Monday...I pre-ordered the damn thing on the first day and am still waiting....

Just curious which weapon loadout you ordered?

Even more love for Krieg, I see. They now have two versions of every superheavy tank. Oh well. I wish they'd show us some future stuff, like confirming if those Termite rumors are true.

Tell me about it, I guess more people that I could have imagined could actually afford it on the first day. Considering that they only have the two weapons at launch-I went with one of each. I saw their talk of doing more weapons, I really hope they offer them separately. I'll just put magnets on them and make them swappable. Plus I'll be looking for giant weapon ideas when I finally sit down and design a Warlord Titan (old version with the curved carapace).

Just as an update, if you ordered a Reaver with a Gatling Blaster (like myself and jabbakahut), you are waiting for FW to fix a "split mold" on the weapon. They were hoping to get mine out by the end of the month, roughly 4 weeks after it was supposed to ship on May 26th. Seems anything from FW is running at least 4 weeks behind. At least they were apologetic and polite...

If you ordered it anytime after the first day of pre-order announcement, you are somewhere below me on the dispatch list, which likely means a mid-to-late July delivery. As mentioned in the newsletter if you have your order number you can call FW sales and they can give you an estimated dispatch date.

Good luck to all the aspiring Princeps waiting for command.

Hm, that's odd. I thought remaking moulds wasn't that big of a deal. Unless there's something in the design that's causing moulding failures, in which case they need to solve that first.

This hoss was ordered for pre-release dispatch on May26th, just arrived today.

That's a five week delay...

The Reaver legs are easier to put together than a Warhound's, looking at the instructions, but its still a lot of parts. Each weapon comes in its own bag, they are are not very complicated in terms of assembly...but then the rest looks like this:



A Final thought: I ordered on the 1st day and I got #49...seems quite a few people ordered Reavers that day!

Eagerly awaiting construction pics!

I'll start a new thread for that. Look for something next week.

Could you possibly post a scan of the instructions? That isnt breaking any laws that I know of, as its unlikely that they'd lose any money off it.
