And pretty much prove that they are never-to-be-released test sculpts.

yes, DA banner

I dunno, cultists are back with CSM, we could see genestealer cult back when 'nids are re-done.

And that Avatar looks like a caricature. Small body and huge over-sized head. If it's body was a little smaller it'd almost be a Chibi-tar.

So looks like Horus;

Seizes like a Necron Lord, hits like a Demolisher Cannon, saves like a TH/SS Term, can decide to use his claw/mace like a Logan, is as tough as a Tyranid MC and seemingly Will Not Die.

Avatar looks strange.

It's not Horus though. It's Abaddon. It even says so - 'Work In Progress [next line] Abaddon'.

AgeOfEgos probably has rulebook in hand and is referring to that.

Rules, not photos

*Hrrrrng* Must. Have. Mechanicum. Rumours!

Come on chaps, can't one of you Space Marine types spend a moment to read over the Mechanicum section of HHV1? Pictures would be ideal

I think I may have to sell my entire mothballed Tau army so I can get in on some of this HH goodness.

I'm thinking along similar lines. Time to clear out old models I'll never use for anything and buy new goodies. To ebay!

I've never understood why GW shows off their test sculpts, teasing people with things they'll never get to own, and often bad-quality ones, too.

Methinks it is time to start thinking about making a Sons of Horus army...

It lets a normaly publicity averse company test the waters with things

(even if management may not listen to what's said they'll THINK their listening)

They may also feel they act as spoilers for bitz etc manufacturers, 'don't make this, we'll release first, or release if you do'

Ok Horus Heresy -

Next book - 'Massacre' - including Iron hands, Salamanders, Night Lords and Word Bearers. In the 2nd seminar Alan Bligh explained a lot about how the Primarch rules were put together - the basic outline for them all is done.

New Mechanicus being worked on - they have a torso done. Mourneival (spelling?) the sons of Horus termies are almost ready and look very cool.

Primarchs/Character boxes - Angron then Abbadon vs Loken, then Fulgrim, the probably Horus. Some will get more than one version.

Annnd some more info spotted:

"Mechanicus - first torso is for a heavy armourered troop, but the name escapes me. Its basically a power armoured robot with a spine and brain inserted. Model will be about Ogryn size."

Looks like the Legio Cybernetica is in! Niiiceee!

And even more courtesy of fraggle @ warseer:

I asked Jez Goodwin about Eldar - he is thinking about them (described as always doing that!) - releases will 'fix obvious holes in the range'. They will look to release an Apoc size kit, but in general everyone was quite coy on the timescales.

IA 1 second edition will be like a summary book for Imperial Guard (all rules for current kits in one book). IA12 will be necrons (with a dynasty specific list), DKOK (with a '6th friendly' list) and Minotaurs.

HH - Legion specific contemptors - Death Guard and World Eaters appear to be finished.

So pics of everything except plastic Blood Knights?! Come on people!

New Necron stuff... 'Night Shroud' based off Scythe chassis, but seeming to have some kind of bulk on the edges. 'Sentry' Pylon, and something else in the back I can't make up.

It looks like a Death Star with rings...

Oh lord, the Necrons have gone Palpatine!

I like what I can see in the shot for the Night Shroud. Sentry Pylon isn't that different from the current one, maybe it's smaller?

Lightning II fighter much more in-line with new aesthetic for imp flyers

...Crap.
I'm going to have to buy that.

MAGUS! WOW!
But honestly, I hope all that stuff on the right is just test sculpts.. the Magus isn't that great, and that Avatar looks horrible compared to the FW one... it just looks like a lumpy and out of proportion re-pose of the original to me.. .

I hope that Imperial Guardsman to the right of the Magus isn't a test sculpt. It's a Cadian on the vox, yelling at someone like he's calling in artillery.

Who do I have to talk to to get myself one?

I always thought Emperors children had the aquilla on their chest plate?

So 4 Legions per Book...

Six of the traitors at Istvaan will be covered in the first 2, the second half may be Raven Guard and the AL , IW and TS ? Or just 3 Legions?
The Salamanders and Iron Hands as first batch of Loyalists...and a chance to have the Raven Guard in the second book..

Hmm, Forgeworld could end up with more of my cash than GW in a year or so. Okay yeah, it ends up going to the same place in the end, but some of that Heresy info sounds amazing.

Oh and all I can hope with the Warhammer Quest app, is it proves that popular to make GW consider a re-release of the actual game.

I also agree, the Deathwing banner fella is excellent. Also love the rescaled Blood Axe nob from years past, awesome, but possibly test pieces as has already been suggested. I hope not, but it looks an odd assemble of figs and some are clearly better than others.

Lightening II looks awesome!

Legio. Cybernetica. Robots?

Oh Forgeworld, 'ow you are spoileeng us.

So, how long do we think it will be before the detailed blog-type reports go up?

About the fact that digital products will not be Apple exclusive anymore: are we are going to get a release date or something like prices and so on?
My Android is patiently waiting

That's already happened with me. I spend all GW bound cash on FW goodies these days. From a GD point of view, Forgeworld previews and releases seemed to have eclipsed anything from the main studio. In fact, the only reason I'd have to go to a GD would be to see the FW stuff...

Oh, and Necron RoB tile spotted:

I really like the foam mock-up. Can't wait to see the finished project.

Have heard that the GD figure was limited to (I believe) one per ticket, but there were a lot of the figures unsold. Also, the one my friend picked up for himself turned out to be a miscast...

Oh dear, that Avatar is rather dire.
