Hi there,
In today’s newsletter we can announce that the next Warhammer Forge expansion book, Monstrous Arcanum, will be on sale at the Forge World Open Day in limited numbers and is also available to pre-order now.

Monstrous Arcanum
This is the eagerly-anticipated first book in a new series from Warhammer Forge, and as its name suggests Monstrous Arcanum deals with a veritable carnival of monsters both arcane and bloodthirsty.
Within this 113 page, full-colour hardback book, you will find 32 new monsters – nightmarish horrors and noble beasts, creatures of magic made flesh and the victims of terrible curses inflicted by dark powers – presented in the form of Binding Scrolls for use with any Warhammer army.

These are not limited to just Storm of Magic games, however, as the book contains nine scenarios and special rules to allow these deadly creatures to be fielded in regular Warhammer battles, and a helpful appendix chart to allow you to theme your monsters to your army.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with some of the finest artwork yet produced by Rhys Pugh and Sam Lamont and presented in gold-inlaid leather effect binding, Monstrous Arcanum takes the form of a detailed bestiary of these infernal and terrible creatures, and also contains new magic items and artefacts alongside a short narrative campaign. Our Visual Feed channel on youtube also has an interview about Monstrous Arcanum with Alan Bligh.

Hot off the press, this fantastic book will be on sale in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day on Sunday 1st April, and is also available to pre-order now for despatch from the 10th April.

Forge World Events News:
Forge World Open Day, 1st April, Warhammer World, Nottingham
As you can’t fail to have noticed, this coming Sunday is the annual Forge World Open Day and we’re making our final preparations. If you want to make sure that we have the exact models you’re after packed and waiting for you in a reservation order please call the Customer Service team on 0115 900 4995 by noon (GMT) on Thursday 29th March.

We’ve got several exciting newsletters lined up for the next few days, so stay tuned to your e-mail as we count down to the Open Day.

AdeptiCon 2012, 19th to 22nd April, Westin Lombard Yorktown Center, Chicago
Forge World will again be attending AdeptiCon this year, and there’s still time to place your 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.

Salute 2012, 21st April, ExCel, London
While some of our intrepid staff are across the pond in the Windy City, others of Forge World will be journeying to London’s ExCel centre for Salute 2012. We’ll be bringing a wide selection of our range of books, resin kits and modelling supplies, but due to the limited space that we have available at this event we recommend you places a reservation order to ensure we have exactly what you want, packed and waiting for you.
As with all our UK shows, Salute 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, contact telephone number and e-mail address along with the list of products you wish to reserve, and you will need your card details to hand. We’ll need to receive your Salute reservation by Tuesday 17th April, and we’ll process the payment while you are on the phone. 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.

Thanks,
Ead Brown

I do hope that, like all classy planetary globe maps, it's full of decanted booze!

**Johnny-Crass**

Yah already saw this but I am very excited. More so than the new Empire book and I play Empire.....

**bubber**

Shame there's no index page shown to see what griblies are in there (waiting to get out)

Probably intentional on their part, there's supposed to be a few surprises--the Khemric Titan certainly was one!

There's also this...

Now, who knows what a "Shard Dragon" might be?

Looking even closer...

Shard Dragon, Magma Dragon, and something twisted by the Realm of Chaos!

must.....have....khmeric titan....

**ghosty**

Oh look! Deathwing!

Does anyone know if they're planning on releasing miniatures in conjunction with the release of this rulebook ,or if it's 'stand alone' ? I presume some of the things they've released already will be in it (understandably) but will they have some of these delicious new monsters? A Khemri Titan, for example? A Giant black, armored Dragon, who causes cataclysmic events across the known world, reshaping it forever? I joke again.

Models are going to be released for the book, yes.

The whole point of the book is to give rules for models they're going to be releasing. While they may not be immediately available, their goal is likely to release a model for each within the next year. It looks like each entry gets artwork like the Khemric Titan and Basilisk pages so you can convert your own based upon the artwork until they release them.

**Acardia**

Yup that titan looks cool.

**Manchu**

FW is so great.

**BrookM**

Hnnnng, damn it, just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

**automatonsleuth**

That Titan would be entertaining to use. It has the delightful combat randomness which makes giants so amusing to play with, combined with the suicide bomber potential of the Warpfire Dragon. I wonder how delightfully silly the rules for the MEGASQUIG! will be...

**Alphacerberus**

Already pre ordered because i expect them to sell out pretty quickly and have to wait an age for another batch i mean for £32 its a bargain!

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

DO WANT.

**Chowderhead**

Yep. Imperial Armor Apoc. for Fantasy. Thank goodness.

Also, I just yessed so hard that I died.

**Ehsteve**

Giant construct scarab to battle emperor dragons and chaos mammoths?

Hell yeah!

**Platuan4th**

I do so hope it looks like a Plesiosaur.

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

Necrofex Colossus?

What in the....

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

>dread maw
ohai I didn't see you there ogres

**nosferatu1001**

Already ordered. I resisted for about 5 seconds - damn you smart phone!

Based on Tamurkan, one of the best products theyve ever released (up there with IA9 and 10) and from chatting with them at GD, I'd already decided I was getting it - the pictures just sealed the deal.

**Swordwind**

Dread saurian? Yesssss

It's a liopleurodon, Charlie. A magical liopleurodon.

**Anung Un Rama**

I have no interest in WHFB whatsoever but that giant Scarab intrigues me

**HungryTaz**

That index does not contain the Orc Rogue Idol. :(
