Forge World Newsletter #301


Hi there,
With the Open Day now only a few days away, we’re able to announce several exciting last-minute items that will be on sale in limited numbers on Sunday, each in advance of their scheduled release. We’ve also got a reminder that there’s still time to place your AdeptiCon reservation orders, so without further ado…

Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume 2
Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume TwoAvailable to purchase for the first time in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day, Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume 2 costs £26.

Whether you’re building and painting a centrepiece model for your army or a detailed diorama for display, Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume 2 is packed with innovative techniques to help you create stunning models.

Among others, you’ll find construction and painting articles on models such as the Imperial and Chaos Reaver Titans, the Great Brass Scorpion and the Crassus Armoured Assault Transport as well as in-depth construction guides focussed on our display tables such as ‘Encounter at the Balmaeus Ice Mines’, built alongside Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara (which you’ll be able to see in all its splendour at the Open Day).

The book also contains detailed galleries of some of our iconic models, including the Vulture Gunship and Keith Robertson’s fantastic Saim-Hann Phantom Titan bust.

This 144-page, full colour hardback book contains a plethora of informative articles, stage-by-stage guides, lavish galleries and inspirational models from the talented painters and modellers of our design studio, making this book a feast for the eye and the imagination as well as a practical resource as well.

It is the second Forge World book dedicated to the methods, materials and techniques required to achieve the highest possible results in terms of quality and realism when building and painting Warhammer 40,000 models.

Deimos Pattern Predator Executioner



Deimos Pattern Predator ExecutionerThe Predator is a highly effective medium tank designed to provide Space Marine detachments with heavy fire support in the heat of battle. An ancient and revered design, cited by the Codex Astartes as a spiritual mentor, no less, there are almost as many patterns of Predator as there are of the ubiquitous Rhino hull it is based upon. One such variant is the Deimos Pattern, manufactured in the vast forges that occupy the moons of Mars.

The obscure Deimos Pattern Predator Executioner is significantly rarer than the Annihilator and Destructor, for the Adeptus Mechanicus hoard their secrets jealously in the dark days of the 41st Millennium. Some even go so far as to whisper that it is a sinful pattern born of the tech-heresy of innovation, although it is known to date from the shadowed days of the Scouring.

The potent firepower of a Plasma Executioner is the default armament of this war machine, bolstered by the usual Heavy Bolter or Lascannon sponsons. The main gun can be replaced with a Heavy Conversion Beamer, although the additional power drain of this arcane and ancient device precludes the addition of Lascannon sponsons. Such devices

Designed by Will Hayes, the Deimos Pattern Predator Executioner is a multi-part resin and plastic kit containing two turret weapon options and two sponson weapon options. It will be available to purchase in limited numbers at the Forge World Open Day on Sunday 1st April in advance of its scheduled release date, and will cost £46

Chaos Decimator Weapons


Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what unknown and malefic party are responsible for the sinful innovation of the Decimator Daemon Engine, which is capable of fielding a wide range of armament; arcane conversion-beam generators, great multi-barreled Stormlasers, the reality-altering heresy of warp-tainted Soulburners and great raking Siege Claws to name but a few.
Towering over even the mighty, and exceedingly rare, 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 on the part of the shadowed, now near-mythical, Legio Cybernetica. If this is the truth, then the warriors of the Imperium may well yet tremble before the might of this colossus.

Two more detailed resin weapon options for this fearsome Daemon Engine will be on sale at the Forge World Open Day in limited numbers, well in advance of their scheduled release. The Decimator Soulburner and Decimator Heavy Conversion Beamer, designed by Daren Parrwood, are finely detailed resin weapons for the recently-released Decimator Daemon Engine, experimental rules for which can be downloaded from the Forge World website now.

That came out waaaaaaaaaay early, as the stuff isn't even on the site's "New Stuff" section yet, and they've gone home for the day!

Definetely picking up a copy of the Masterclass Vol 2 at the Open Day this weekend if there's one up for grabs.

Yay, masterclass volume 2. That goes on the "Do Want" list.

Sooo...


Wonder if the Predator Executioner is any indication on the rumours of the DA getting a Plasma Pred.

They said in their bit that it will be, so you should be okay.

I dunno...but a Predator with a Conversion Beamer would be awesome.

Aye, I know, but it's limited so I might be out of luck.

An excellent "early" report!

But I expect no less from an exemplary member of the Legion!

Loving the Predator variants.

I hope some of these weapon options make it into the official SM codec for sixth edition, especially the plasma version.

Master class vol 2?
Old school style predator with conversion beamer?

Yes please, I'll take one of each. And buggerit, I've just placed a big order with Forgeworld!

Daddy likes.

Oh, yes, definitely sold. So much for my wallet...

Anyone recognise the terrain in the cover of the Masterclass? Hint towards a new FW Realm of Battle tile perhaps?

Decimator is FANTASTIC!

Redemption wrote:Anyone recognise the terrain in the cover of the Masterclass? Hint towards a new FW Realm of Battle tile perhaps?

Might be; might just be something they made for the book.

Masterclass v.1 had the cover being the terrain that they showed you how to make within, and it used various bits and bobbles.

But off the top of my head, the new one uses:
A custom made tarmac, the crates set, the old trench wall sets, the Imperial Guard scanner bits, the gantry crane is made from Sentinel legs, the Air Traffic Controller station at the upper right is the Concrete Bunker with some stuff added on in the form of structural supports and sand bags on the roof, the scanner dish is from the Anphelion Project complex, the fuel bowser is from either the discontinued terrain bit which had it dug into a sandbag bunker or the discontinued bit which had it available as a trailer. The piece directly above it was something from the Taros book, a moisture condenser.

Ah, thanks Kanluwen. Well that pretty much disproves that theory.

Well not necessarily. Their terrain has pretty much vanished as the molds died, and the ROB tile has apparently done fairly well so seeing new ones is a fair shake.

The Predator is just too cool to pass on. My wife is going to kill me when I make my next Forgeworld order.

Man. Gonna have to drop some money on that Predator.

Hey, another ugly-ass throwback model that people inexplicably go nuts for.

The new Decimator weapons look sorta OK, but for that frame it really should have some chunky, brutal looking melee weapons.

Stormeagle kit

Well, I don't know how you got that but I think you just spoiled a big preview they were going to make at the FW Open Day.

It's live on the forgeworld site, someone had linked it on warseer so I spread the love

It's live on Forge World's site, but try any variation of directories to try to access it and you get nothing.

It's not meant to be shown until after Open Day most likely.

Looks like a stormraven conversion.

oh no. I always feel bad for spoiling suprises :(

looks great tho!

Yep, a FW kit meant to add onto the Stormraven, like they do with most of their kits.

Any other things we've been looking to come out? Their image directory and naming convention is pretty easy to play with.

Oh DEAR LORD my wallet... so pretty.. gief Stormeagelz please?

Modelling master class v2 here I come, they'd better have that at Salute!

Richard Dreyfus: I think we're gonna need a bigger bag!

notprop: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Are the masterclass books that awesome? What kind of tips are inside?

Also, I'm all about the plasma predator. I don't really like the old school style tanks but a plasma turret is way cooler than an autocannon turret imo.

I own the first book, and I love it. Here's a review on youtube if you want to check:
