I'm still holding out for hopefully Chapter specific Comtemptor dreads, but that Relic looks tempting.....

**Breotan**

Chapter specific Contemptors will come eventually. I'm fairly confident of that.

**MajorTom11**

I love all of this stuff... everything!

It just sucks that if I get to the point of pulling the trigger on buying a Contemptor, or a LR, that there maybe be a chapter specific or other 'fancy' look variant coming out.... I paint BA, so had I caved and ordered Contemptors a few months ago as I was sorely tempted to, I would have been kicking myself today myself as the relic version is much more in line with the BA aesthetic...

Not that I see much they can do about the situation... they can't release everything at once obviously. Frankly, it is only a problem because FW has been doing such a great job lately!

**Zuul**

While I love the MkI rhino, I'm not terribly happy with the the conversion kit. In the end it is and just looks like a MkII playing dress up.

Here the full text of the FW News Flash:

Hi there,

With Games Day UK only three days away, we’ve got three more exclusive pre-release items to announce today. As with the other exclusive releases we’ve revealed in the last few days, these will be on sale at Games Day UK in limited numbers. So without further ado…

Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos on sale at Games Day UK

The first of our exclusive Games Day UK pre-releases is the eagerly awaited Warhammer Forge expansion book, Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos.

This book retells the brutal conquests and bloody battles of the Chaos Warlord Tamurkhan and his horde in their quest to attain the favour of the Dark Gods. In this 208 page, full-colour, hardback book you will find: the saga of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, lavishly illustrated and darkly detailed; an extensive bestiary section and a campaign system allowing you to fight the battles of Tamurkhan’s horde in games of Warhammer.
The book also contains The Legion of Azgorh, a fully playable Chaos Dwarf Army list, as well as rules for playing massive battles with forces drawn from all the different Chaos Army books.

Printed on high quality paper, which gives an amazing depth to the full colour artwork, each page is richly embellished with finely detailed illustrations. Full colour maps reveal never-before-seen vistas of the landscape and geography of the Warhammer world. The hardback, leather-effect binding, embossed with gold lettering, has been designed to emulate the faded binding of an arcane tome, down to the inclusion of the classic red silk-effect page marker.

Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos will be on sale in limited numbers at Games Day UK, priced at £45. Forge World’s Book design team will be on hand throughout the day to autograph your copy, and explain how they put together this amazing book.

Relic Contemptor Dreadnought

Hot from the resin mines comes Simon Egan’s latest creation, the Relic Contemptor Dreadnought.

Given the rarity of the Contemptor-pattern chassis, it is not uncommon for those Chapters blessed enough to count these ancient war machines amongst their arsenal to embellish their armoured sarcophagus with scripture, honour scrolls and additional details to commemorate the heroism and indomitable valour of the Ancient enshrined within.

Fully compatible with the rest of our Contemptor weapons, the Relic Contemptor has been sculpted with a high level of detail, making the perfect painting project and a fantastic centrepiece to any Space Marine force. On sale in limited numbers from our Sales stand, the Relic Contemptor costs £32.

MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino

The ubiquitous Rhino Armoured Personnel Carrier is a mainstay of the Space Marine Chapters, and has been in continuous use for ten thousand years. Its true origins are more distant still, and ancient records mention the RH1-N-0 Tracked Exploration and Multi-Purpose Defence Vehicle STC accompanying explorator missions during Mankind’s Golden Age. Re-armed and re-purposed for military use, the Rhino has remained a mainstay of the Imperium’s might over the millennia since.

There are many known patterns and designs of this robust vehicle, and the MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino is among the oldest variants, first issued en-masse to the Astartes Legions of the Great Crusade. This pattern is armed with two turret-mounted bolters, slaved to the target-logis systems of the Rhino’s machine spirit rather than the more common pintle-mounted storm bolter seen on both the earlier MkIb Mars Pattern vehicle and the later MkIIc design that became more common after the Horus Heresy.

The MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino, designed by Daren Parrwood, is a complete resin and plastic kit, containing a standard Games Workshop Rhino kit as well as sufficient resin conversion components to construct the MkIc Deimos Pattern variant. Priced at £33, this fantastic kit will be on sale in limited quantities at Games Day UK, well in advance of its general release date.

Thanks,

I especially like this part:

Forge World’s Book design team will be on hand throughout the day to autograph your copy, and explain how they put together this amazing book.

Can someone ask for a Rick Priestley autograph?

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

I really hope they do a dome-topped Predator next. That would be awesome.

He has such contempt for it, not buying it isn't enough. He must ignore it's existence. Even other player's Deimos shall be ignored.

"My Deimos rhino shoots at your squad..."

"What Deimos rhino?"

"This one right here."

"I don't see anything. Cheater."

You, sir, with all due respect, totally need to get a grip.

Sarpedon, on the other hand...this statement is just sheer WIN!

I regret buying my Contemptor now, but I'll be able to use plastic parts to "relic"-ise it.

Love the Rhino - can't justify buying it or the LR when I bought the old versions of both way back when they were still on the shelves...

Padre^.

**Formosa**

this rhino is just one more step to the inevitable Heresy expansion

**Coolyo294**

Hate the Rhino, love the Contemptor.

I love you so much right now Kronk.

But to answer your question HBMC: it's just not something I could ever see myself buying. Hence, it's ignored in my purchase prospects.

I have lists of things that I "have to" buy and things I "want to" buy.
Everything else gets pretty much ignored.

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

Ok, as long as it wasn't one of those "I reject your reality and substitute my own" moments where you simply refuse to acknowledge its existence within the fluff.

**Alpharius**

Love the Old School Rhino.

Like the 'Relic' Contemptor - not as much as I'd thought.

The 'original' Contemptor still works better for me.

And I'm not so sure we'll ever see Chapter/Legion specific Contemptors...

**kronk**

Back at ya, bro.

I honestly would rather just have the original old school one.

I do like that relic contemptor. I've been waffling on it. I'll probably pick that up when IA:11 comes out.

The plastic kit and resin add on for the rhino from forgeworld is $3US less than it costs for me to buy the regular rhino from my local GW here in Oz.

No offense, but that's kinda funny.

**Darkness**

I have been waiting for this Rhino for 4-5 years now

**The Plastic Surgeon**

Need pics

**Manchu**

Besides New'crons, the thing I'm most excited about for GDUK this year is all the photos of painted Chaos Dwarfs I hope we'll see.

Kind of a sad indictment on regular GW prices in Australia...

**STC_LogisEngine**

Expected, longed for, perfect execution.
We have to remember that FW does not, and is repeatedly stating so, make 'stuff for the kids' but expert kits for experienced modellers. Hence the price.
It will be interesting to see what FW will do with the Great Crusade and the Heresy, and before you start off at that FW have said that they -will- cover the crusade and the heresy but that it's so far in the future that it's not worth discussing for now.
I mean they have not started work on the non model side of it yet, not even planned it in. but it WILL be around in the future.

Give me ten of everything.

+1 This would be of great interest!! I'd also like to see some Chaos take-offs on the Contemptors (though easy enough to modify).

.. Imperial Armour Apocalypse Second Edition £26.00 & Imperial Emplacement as well.

.. The latter looking to me as being.... somewhat... similar to the old fixed Basilisk Emplacement they used to do.

**Emperors_Champion**

Hazzah! Knew if I kept my old Rhinos someday they'd be cool again!

Still not sold on that dread though!

**Heliodore**

Nice, Imperial Armour Apocalypse Second Edition is up for pre-order as well! I will totally get this when it comes out!

A 5-man squad of resin MK-whatever marines costs me less from Forgeworld (inc shipping) than going down to my local GW and buying a 5-man combat squad off the shelf (not counting petrol to get to the shopping centre). "Rip off" is a matter of perspective...

Love the Rhino and the Dread. Glad I didn't buy the regular pattern contemptor, actually it was a little plain looking. This new one is just right. The Rhino I really like, but at it's price I couldn't see my self buying one, let alone the 6 or 7 I'd need to field in a game. Still a predator version of this would be badass.

**Kanluwen**

Yay! More terrain for a theme table!
