Hi there,
We return to the Black Fortress and the Legion of Azgorh in this week’s newsletter with the hotly anticipated and amazingly detailed K’daai Fireborn which are available to pre-order now. We’ve also got a reminder about the cut-off date for Salute 2012 reservation orders for those of you attending the event.

K'daai Fireborn
The Chaos Dwarfs are arrogant, malign and paranoid beings, and will bend their knee to none but their Father of Darkness, Hashut. Their Sorcerers and Daemonsmiths constantly seek weapons and soldiers that will make their armies invincible and it is from this desire that the K’daai Zharr, the Scions of Fire, were born.

Rather than currying favour through parleyed bargains with the greater Chaos powers, or summoning daemons all but uncontrollable as a human sorcerer might, the priests of Hashut have long sought to create something more than a mere bound spirit. With the K’daai Fireborn they have succeeded and through their dark arts have forged a race of powerful warriors, half-daemon and half-raging fire.

Drawn from the magma of the deep earth, birthed in the boiling blood sacrifices of Hashut’s altars, and bound and given form within an armoured framework of articulated iron and rune-stamped bronze, the K’daai are devastating shock troops that slumber between battles as cold frameworks of barbed metal. When unleashed upon an enemy force, the fire within them rages into existence and they become mindless, elemental forces of destruction few mortals can hope to survive.

Designed by Edgar Skomorowski, the K’daai Fireborn are a set of three intricately detailed multi-part resin models, available to pre-order here for despatch from Friday 27th April. This kit contains three different torso designs, three different lower bodies and three different pairs of weapons – each of which are fully interchangeable. Rules for the K’daai Fireborn fielded as part of a Chaos Dwarfs army can be found in Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos, and Binding Scroll rules to align this powerful force of darkness with other Warhammer armies are included in Monstrous Arcanum.

Forge World Events News:
Salute 2012, 21st April, ExCel, London
Forge World will be journeying to London’s ExCel centre for Salute 2012 on Saturday 21st April. 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 place a reservation order to ensure we have exactly what you want, packed up 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, a 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 will process the payment while you are on the phone. In the week before the event you’ll then receive a confirmation e-mail containing your order number. This is your proof of payment, and you must bring that e-mail with you to claim your order.

Thanks,
Ead Brown
Customer Service Manager

Ninja'd by the mod team before I could add the link and a picture myself

I know people liked the concept art more than the models, but I actually kinda like these. They're different to pretty much everything else out there as far as WFB minis go.

I just wish they'd painted them before showing them off. It's hard to get a real sense of what they are without some colour on them.

**Xeriapt**

Yeah I look at these and think WTH are they?

**darknightwing**

Paint would deffinately help distinguish what is what.

**Da Boss**

They look a little like male flame atronachs.

True, but I don't like them as much as their equivalents in other settings. Not being person-sized is part of it, but it's also the look of them.

**Nagashek**

That last one looks alike in pose and construction to the Nightbringer.

**Samus_aran115**

I like them a lot, although I'd be a bit nervous actually buying them. They look really delicate.

**Stanley Rubric**

So with all the outcry over GW and FW resin as of late, they've just decided to make models now that require them to put lots of holes in it... ;-)

**MightyGodzilla**

Some sort of elemental? Could be fire, earth, or water depending on their paintjob... The look kinda neat, but I don't know what I'd use for. Maybe kitbash the head a little and paint 'em all spacey for a C'tan Shard.

**Beer_&_Bolters**

They are a little hard to make out as is, paint would really help bring out the details. a size comparison would be nice too. Apart from that tho theyre pretty cool, i like.

**DPBellathrom**

its....nice..... :3 they look like they could use a bit more thought/detail but what ever they want to do is fine :3

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

From the photos shown these are a no for me, however I'm willing to see how they look painted before I make a final decision. As it is they just seem very Ill defined due to someone going nuts with the fire.

**The Power Cosmic**

I'm assuming these are fire elementals? Some paint would have been nice. As-is, they're very unspectacular.

On that note these could make a nice base for a c'tan conversion (or 3).

C-tan with lord of fire or watever its called is probably a good one to go for.

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

The C'Tan thing is a really good idea.

**Johnny-Crass**

I like em and can not wait to see the Destroyer
