Quoted from the gentlemans blog
Games Day '11 Forgeworld Seminar Info Dump
This is a precursor to video of the full seminar. Its uploading, ever so slowly, to Youtube as I type.

Big news summary for folks that cannot wait:

More Contemptor arms.(Plasma Cannon, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Mortis Pattern(Typhoon Launchers and Assault Cannons on each arm), Heavy Bolters)
Imperial Armour 11 is set for sale Nov-Dec.(He said Holidays)
Imperial Armour 12 is likely to feature Dark Eldar
More Marine Armor variants to come...
More Marine shoulder pad sets...
More Land Raider Variants(a plasma cannon variant was explicitly mentioned)
They will continue to introduce Special Character models from the Badab War.(A beautiful Techmarine with a conversion beamer was shown off)
A full picture of the huge Dark Eldar skimmer was shown

And lots of Warhammer Forge stuff that I didn't really care about, but I have footage of that as well! The Skaven Brood Mother was all that really stuck out in my mind.

That's all off the top of my head, but the full seminar footage is forthcoming. Tonight is likely, but I cannot guarantee it because I'm looking at the first part and there's still about 100 minutes left on the upload.

Forgive the poor writing please. I'm starving because I refuse to pay concession stand prices and this plate of curry chicken is calling my name.

NOTE btw, if this is reposted, please give the original blogger credit where credit is due -

The Contemptor wields a HEAVY Conversion Beamer(the speaker was very specific on that), and the Graviton Gun is built into the hand accompanying it.

There's a Space Wolf character, Bran Redmaw, in two different forms. First form is his 'normal' form, wearing Runic Armor. The other is him in his 'Wulfen' form.

There's a Crassus variant, called the 'Praetor'. It's a huge missile launching platform.

Mmmm. Rocket launching Crassuss and contemptors... goddamit I was just about to finish my regular Crassus lol... now they release new hotness...

Upside:
The Praetor makes my idea of a Crassus Command and Control Vehicle a much much better thing.

So we have the Crassus 'in charge', with a Commander directing fire to where the Praetors need to be firing.

Also: Contemptor with TL Assault Cannons and head mounted MLs makes me happy. Especially because it pretty much looks like a giant Terminator.

Some interesting stuff... I'm definitely liking the new Contemptor arms!

I am hoping/thinking that the contemptors may get armor upgrade packs... I dunno, they just seem to be begging for more detail. I know it fits with the ph sabertooth artwork, but there is a lot , and I mean A LOT more that could be done to them, and it looks like they have enough large surfaces that icon packs or even plating could be attached easily if they released something along those lines.

I would like to see the contemptor chassis as it is now form the basis for a all kinds of conversion packs. It would be a fun and interesting way to go about things IMO! I know I would be tempted to get modular upgrades!

Take my money!

The icon packs already fit on the Contemptor chassis pretty well, so that's not an issue.

Agreed, those flat surfaces seem perfect for either icons or brass etching.

He said "I know our models are really expensive".
Isn't that heresy?

Video 2 is up. News on the dark eldar tantalus and terrain for Realm of Battle board. Pic of the Valthex special character from the Badab books with a conversion beamer. Shadow spectres get a phoenix lord (but no pics).

Thanks for the vids guys

Is it me or do Forgeworld's releases seem more interesting than GW's main?

Looking forward to seeing the minis properly anyway. Thanks again

Any mention of a Chaos variant for the Contemptor?

dude thanks allot I wish I could have made it.

I think I just fell in love with that Mortis-pattern Contemptor...

Bring it on!

And to OP...thank you for this footage, this is brilliant of you!

Padre^.

Thats it? Thats all the news from GD? Forgeworld, and nothing else? Nobody talked to any of the design studio staff that were there or anything? LAME.

The Contemptor rules allow it for use with C:CSM so apply your own characterful chaos touches and you are good to go!

I'm aware of that, which is cool, but I was more interested in a Chaos version of the model. If there's one in the pipeline I'd rather hold off to get that rather than converting one out of the imperial version.

Just watched the video and I'm even more jealous of all the weapon variants. Not too crazy about the cyclone missile launcher up top, but those duel assault cannons look badass.

B-B-Bran Redmaw!!!

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Any chance of screenshots for the work-blocked/supremely lazy?

Glad you guys got a chance to see the vids. I'm just sorry the quality isn't better. I ran out of memory on my digi cam after Vid 2 and recorded the rest on my Android. I'm still punching myself in the nuts over how I screwed up Video 3, but at least 4 was back to normal.

As far as Chaos variants of the Contemptor go he confirmed they are in the pipeline. They're doing Contemptors for all major chapters and, probably, the Legions. Apparently, they're selling really well.

I'm finishing up processing video 7 right now and there's one more to go, but not a whole lot more as far as revelations go. I'm ****ing tired.

Aye you can definately tell that Forgeworld are still run by gamers in the main as opposed to grocers!

Also, PRAETOR ARMOURED ASSAULT LAUNCHER!

I definitely want a Praetor, that's really cool.

There are some interesting Skaven pieces in part 4

All of these Contemptor variants....


"Take my money!" indeed!

Switchable Bran Redmaw in game? Sounds like a cool concept to catch on

First official GW video footage:

Pics are still rare, here two pics posted by eldargal over at Warseer:






Here some pics take by b4z over at Warseer (from the youtube vid?):

Realm of Battle Boards - Sculpted Boards with Warhammer Terrain [and accompanying Special Rules]

Small Hollow Resin Warhammer Scenery Pieces - Affordable

Tamurkhan includes Binding Scrolls for Storm of Magic for various creatures, and Chaos Dwarf Army List, Alternate Army Lists for Empire, Orcs & Goblins.

Also going to be non-competetive lists, before you could never make a Chaos Army with Warriors, Daemons, Beastmen combined etc. [apart from Storm of Chaos etc] make these possible.

Chaos Dwarf Bale Taurus [Scroll of Binding], and same model with a Sorcerer mounted on it. Possibility of Lamassu if there is enough demand for the former.

Skaven Exalted Vermin Lord [Scroll of Binding]

Skaven Brood Horror [Scroll of Binding], and same model with Warlord mounted on it.

Lietpold the Black [Empire Character on Horse]

The new scultpor Edgar Skomorowski did the Elspith model, also did Lietpold. Austrian guy. They wax lyrical about his talents.

Here two pics of the Warhammer Forge Skaven releases by C57Black over at the Underempire (pic 1+2) and mccomma03 over at Warseer (pic3), pic 1+3 the Vermin Lord, pic2 the Brood Horror (here without rider, see above for pic with rider):

Some VERY sexy stuff.

Love the Master of the Forge, love Lietpold the Black, love the Contemptor.

Also, the more they support it, the more excited I get about even the Storm of Magic stuff. Not really huge into WHFB, but I'm always happy to see new expansions get the support they need.

And as a Dark Eldar player - BRING ON THE TANTALUS!

Again cudos to Forge World to show their parent company how marketing and raising interest is done by normal people!

As has been the standard for non-UK GDs, everything shown is from Forge World. But their stuff is always worth getting excited about. I'm very glad they are going crazy with the Contemptor. It is a very cool design, and they can do a lot with it. I don't love the Master of the Forge, but I will get it for the backpack. As usual, FW saves the rumor side of the show. Cheers for the videos, pics, and reporting!
