Oh, look. Forge World is making Jacks for Warmachine now.

Well that certainly isn't a contemptor lol...*prepares to watch a few people eat crowe lol *


Pretty interesting design, I question the need for it though, if the rumors of a plastic chaos dread and chaos contemptors are true, there certainly wasn't a gap for bipedal walkers in the line up lol...

Forgeworld Newsletter # 298


Hi there,
In this week’s newsletter we delve deep within the Eye of Terror to unleash a new Chaos Daemon Engine, the Decimator, which is available to pre-order now alongside two new Zone Mortalis Door Sets. We’re also now accepting reservation orders for the Forge World Open Day, and there’s still time to get your AdeptiCon reservation order to us as well.

Chaos Decimator Daemon Engine
Chaos Decimator Daemon EngineThe Decimator is a brutal and hellish creation; the essence of a creature of the Warp bound and fettered within the armoured bulk of a bipedal war machine. Great slab-shoulders of tainted and defiled ceramite and adamantium, and a low-set ‘head’ give the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace.

Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation as the Decimator is capable of fielding a wide range of armament: rapid-firing Butcher Cannons, multi-barrelled Stormlasers, and great raking Siege Claws to name but a few. Towering over even the mighty Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Adeptus Astartes, the Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve the Traitor Legions. If this is the truth, then it is feared that many warriors of the Imperium will fall before these deadly war machines.

The Decimator Daemon Engine, designed by Daren Parrwood and Edgar Skomorowski, is an incredibly detailed full resin kit that stands roughly 4" (102mm) tall. Weapons for this fell war machine are sold separately, and Daren has designed three weapons kits that are released alongside the body kit: the Decimator Stormlaser, Decimator Siege Claw and Decimator Butcher Cannon. All these kits are available to pre-order now for despatch from Monday 2nd April, and you can also download experimental rules for the Decimator from the Forge World website.



Zone Mortalis Door Sets
Zone Mortalis Small Blast DoorsFollowing hot on the heels of our brand new Realm of Battle Zone Mortalis scenery tiles come two sets of detailed resin blast doors. Adding a new tactical dimension to the brutal and bloody conflicts of the Zone Mortalis experimental rules expansion, the Door Sets can be operated in one of three different modes in a scenario.

The Large Blast Door comprises a single, multi-part blast door measuring 3 ¾" (95mm) across and 2 ½" (64mm) tall, while the Small Blast Door Set contains two narrower doors, each measuring 1 ¾" (45mm) across. These detailed resin kits, designed by Blake Spence, are available to pre-order now for despatch from Monday 2nd April.


Forge World Events News:
Forge World Open Day, 1st April, Warhammer World, Nottingham
Sunday 1st April will see Forge World and Warhammer Forge abandon our top-secret Manufactorum for our annual Open Day. This year’s event is bigger and better than ever as we will be taking over not only the Gaming Hall for our Sales stands but also the Staff Restaurant for our Studio displays.

You can now download a map of the event from the Forge World Events page to guide you around the Open Day, and we’ll be bringing you more details about the event in future newsletters. For now, we can whet your appetite with a few teasers: there will be two brand new participation games and as many of our detailed display boards as we can cram into the Studio area. We also intend to run a ‘Studio Café’ Q&A session, in addition to showcasing a vast array of work-in-progress miniatures, future releases and the incredibly painted models in our displays.

Our Sales stands will be packed with a huge selection of resin kits, books and modelling supplies, including some pre-release kits that will be announced in future newsletters, and as always the Open Day will be the first chance to purchase our 2012 Event Only models. We’ve designed both a Warhammer Forge model and a Forge World model once again, and while we can’t tell you what they are just yet, suffice to say we think they’re great!

We are now accepting reservation orders for the Forge World Open Day, which is the best way to ensure we have the exact product you want, packed up and waiting for you at the event. As with all our UK shows, Open Day reservation orders are pre-paid to make the collection process quicker and easier, leaving you with more time to enjoy the rest of the event.
Please telephone the Customer Service team on 0115 900 4995 to place a reservation order. We will require your name, a contact telephone number and e-mail address along with the list of products you wish to reserve, and you will also need your card details to hand. We’ll process the payment while you are on the phone, and in the week before the event you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail containing your order number. This is your proof of payment, and you must bring this e-mail with you to claim your order.

AdeptiCon 2012, 19th to 22nd April, Westin Lombard Yorktown Center, Chicago
Forge World will again be attending AdeptiCon this year, and we are still accepting reservation orders for this popular event. While we will be bringing a huge selection of our range of books, resin kits and modelling products, placing a reservation order is the best way to ensure that we have exactly what you want packed up and waiting for you at the show.

You can either telephone us on 011 44 115 900 4995, or send an e-mail entitled ‘AdeptiCon 2012 Reservation’ to forgeworldreservations@games-workshop.co.uk. We will need your name, a list of the items that you wish to order, and a contact e-mail address for yourself by Monday 2nd April. In the week prior to the event, we will send you a confirmation e-mail containing your order number, details of any items that are unavailable, and a total cost in US$ (less local sales tax) that will be payable at the event.

Thanks,
Ead Brown

Ouch! £15 for a single door (or two small ones). Truly, Zone Mortalis is for the rich wargamer.

Hmm. Is it just me, or does the Decimator's face convey a (presumably unwanted) overtone of "Mexican wrestler"?

The doors look nice; shame they're ridiculously pricey.

I was going to say it's actually fairly reasonably priced for Forgeworld, then I read this part:
"Weapons for this fell war machine are sold separately."

Makes sense, but $50+ US without arms is pretty expensive.

If you like that, you should check out Privateer Press.

They've got a whole game dedicated to designs like this.

Although the rules are experimental, I can definitely see the Mk of Nurgle becoming popular. It's armor values seem less than I would have imagined, but the model itself is awesome. Very cool and menacing pose and detail work.

Thanks s8n! Looks nice...although, yeah, it looks like a Jack. Now to think of an excuse to buy one for my Daemons...

SICK! And yeah, this pie is delicious humble.

But glad to be wrong! Awesome model!

Oh Momma....

Oh god, I was almost persuaded

I don't currently play chaos.

I'm buying one.

Your initial post is still a little bare though.

I really like the look of this monster.

It's an Elite choice for either Daemons or CSM.
It has Unholy Vigour - Wep. Destroyed or Immobolised Results ignored on a 5+. If wrecked (didn't explode) can get back up on a 6, destroyed on a 1. Can try again next turn on a 2-5.
It has Decimator Seige Claws - Ignores Armour, Re-roll wounds, 2d6 and pick the highest for Armour Pen. Passengers receive D6 heavy flamer hits if their transport suffers a penetrating hit.
A host of nice weapons.
Looks like a titan.

I love it. And it's enormous!

I wonder what the 'soul burner petard' thing looks like.

Definitely want one of those. And definitely don't want a £15 door. Stupid Forge world...

Those rules are pretty overpowered! It ignores stunned and shaken results due to DP and if they destroy it, there's a chance it gets back up again! Plus the 5+ Inv save on top and the extra flamer hits on transports and buildings!

Not sure the guys at my local gaming club would like facing facing this but i'm very tempted to get one to march alongside my sonic dreadnought!

a few of the arms are on the FW website for order for £9.00 each.

Siege Claw


Butcher Cannon


Stormlaser

Also, weapons are £9 each.

Total price is £53 or about $80 US, plus shipping.

I like it, not a massive fan of the look of the claws, but nothing That's deal breaker.

The Doors seem a tad overpriced, which is a little sad :(

Chaos players rejoice!

No crazed rule, large model with a price comparative to the metal. Mark rules which make sense. It may have some powerful ranged weapons but then again it is only BS3 and is a massive points drain (nearly 200pts fully kitted out for range). The other issue is I3, but there aren't that many things striking at I4 and above which wreck vehicles (unless they are a MC).

Oh and the model is freakin' huge, it's spilling over a 60mm base.

i haven't had the urge to buy FW in a long time but this is something i WANT.. no NEED. the claws look sweet but i think so i think ill be getting a pair and a butcher cannon to swap out. The stormlaser looks like it would be prone to warp or break.

I'll just use my Death Jack for now to see how it runs.

Im a bit disapointed with this guy. On one hand I like the model but its actual use on the table is dipping almost to zero. Being twice as big as a standared dread mean he will be hard to give some cover too. His max strenght is 8, basic dreads are 6/10. His AV is low to me, I think he should have been 13-12-11 due to his size. Plus give him the upgrades that I see everyone taking(MoN and butcher cannon) he comes to 190 points. I could take a basic dread with twin Ac, H-flamer and extra armor for 130 and still give some more combi/power weapons to guys who wont be targeted first thing.
On the other hand the Unholy Vigor and D-possesion are Great benifits. Im just not sure if they outweigh the drawbacks.
Also I can see with some work... I can make him into the Deamon Prince I have been wanting to create. 8)
