Have you talked to anyone at FW about this?

Looks like Dorns syndrome!

You shut up, you!



Also, where is Dorn? *Resets timer*

That reminds, me I need to do more Forgeworld Dorn pestering

That's one lazy paint job on lenses. Model looks great tho.

Love that macrocarid.. tidy paint job too esp that lovely aged brass but Jesus fw .... drill out the damn barrel!!!

The servitor up top got me. Looks like he just recognized someone he knows at the grocery store and is waving at them.

You know, the ones without which it's impossible to build loadout-matched units without extensive conversions.

Not to diminish your grievance, but you could just buy more and match weapon types without converting, provided you have deep enough pockets. Crappy solution, though, I know.

And I am still waiting on Vyronii decals that, via email, were said to be right around the corner. So, I somewhat feel your pain.

New Sons of Horus transfers


Blackshield transfers, I am pretty sure

Now if they would just RELEASE THEM and the House Vyronii ones they showed in October, I would be happy. Never understood the lead time on decal sheets, since you just print them...

And here I am waiting on something as simple as transfers that have been previewed. In September! At least you know Dorn requires sculpting and casting. Transfers? Just printing!

Which ones?

House Vyronii.

em_en_oh_pee wrote:Obligatory bitching about no Vyronii decals. Sorry, but how long does one have to wait for them to send their perfectly awesome sheet to the effing printers!? Been waiting since September!

Anyhow, enough of that... for now. The Blackshield ones are awesome, but like.... easily four disparate factions on it. Why not do smaller sheets for each unique group? I mean, if I buy this, I am stuck with a slew of decals I will just never use. Same for the Solar Auxilia one, now that I think of it.

Aw, come on, ForgeWorld. Give us updated flyer rules or Knight Porphyrion!

Or you know... my effing Knight decals. Yes, I am broken record.

But I want the new Knight too. That thing is a MONSTER! If the rules down change from the previews, it will make a great Knight Aspirant. Hehehe.

Thanks Red.

I'm really hoping the Knight Porphyrion goes up on pre-order, myself, while the GBP conversion rate is still good.

I am just hoping for my damn decals to go up for sale. Previewed in Sept - how long does it take to print these things!?

But yea, the new Knight is going to be expensive as hell, given how it has grown in size since those first previews. Would be nice not to have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

The usual lead time on basically any professional printing job is about four months from dispatch of the final master. Of course that assumes the previewed version was final and checked for issues that might make it unprintable, which would extend the lead-time considerably if found.

So, they are long overdue. The sheet I saw looked like a final set - like the Makabius one, but Vyronii emblems and stuff. Almost 10 months since the preview and it has been considerably longer since HH4 released. Going to die of old age before I see them, it feels like!

Dammit. They were previewed like 10 months ago now. This wait for decals is just absurd. :(

And where are my Vyronii decals?! It is going on almost a YEAR since they previewed the completed sheet. One year! Sheesh.

Yep. And it just ticked over to September, marking at least a year since the decals I am dying for previewed. So... hope they sneak those into this inbound release too. Sigh.

Wish they would put more heft back behind something not 30k for just a while.

Oh and em-en-oh-pe, according to battle bunnies, the House Vyronii transfers are at the printers.

HALLELUJAH! A year later and finally at the printers. Now I think I can comfortably start building the army, as by the time they release I should be at the decal stage. Sweeeeeeet!

Thanks for the update. Now I will whine about it much less!

No idea who the are marketing this to, but hey... someone out there will order it. Right?

And where the heck are my decals!

Ugh. I like them... but come on FW, where my Vyronii at?!

Have you talked to anyone at FW about this?

Thank you, sir. After waiting over a year for their release, I am trying not to lose hope. I asked them and they gave their usual non-answer. These were previewed at an Open in Sept 2015 and recently they were confirmed going to the printers... allegedly.

I have alllllllllll my Knights just waiting for decals at this point. SEVEN Knights. You would think they wouldn't be dragging their feet on Knight accessories... especially since Makabius dropped so fast. Le sigh.

I am hoping they are for sale at this upcoming Open, so I know the will be for general consumption shortly thereafter.

em_en_oh_pee - you sir, are legend!

And for many reasons, I sincerely hope those decals are released soon!

More news about what will be available First Access - before general release - at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Days on November 5th and 6th, with these Pheonix Power Spears and Power Scythes for the Emperor's Children Legion and Death Guard Legion!

So what's left now? Ultramarine boarding shields, regular Mechanicum Knight heads, Deredeo weapons, new Knight and IA:Cyraxus?

Oooh! Pretty scythes!

Terminator shields and assault cannons AND MORITAT!!!! Only been waiting since July. ...

Woo Russ just turned up. Ordered both the wolves and Thousand sons transfer sheets too and they look wonderful!

Any updates on the Porphyrion Knight? Last anything I can find about it is 5 months old and included a threat to downsize it.

Lots of new releases today:

LoTR:

The real question here is what wasn't released today? It may be a dead game right now, but I'm glad to see some LOTR stuff and even happier that it seems to be keeping the style of the old models instead of falling into the trap of "main" GW's "MAXIMUM SKULLS PER SQUARE INCH" design goals.

Dead game? You've gotta be kidding? Ardacon literally just happened last weekend and it's the single biggest LoTR event that's happened. There was at least 500 people for the tournament there and Forge World was there to sell the above releases early. All of which were an instant sell out.

Those dwarfs are great. GWs lotr dwarves always were one of the best on the market and these tie in well.
And we had to wait only 2 years for Dain to arrive, but he's finally there. Guess pigs just aren't that fast...
The prices are... well, they are forgeworld prices I guess and what was to be expected. They are in line with the last GW failcast prices but for better resin.

Maybe it still has an event somewhere, but I haven't seen a single person playing it and I think the only store that bothers to put it on the shelf is the local GW store. And this stuff is the first attention GW has given the game in a very long time. I think that's a pretty safe definition of "dead", even if we're hoping FW will do a little necromancy on it.

Nah, disagreeing with you there. The game is anything but dead and is on a massive resurgence. It's got tournaments and events going on pretty much every month. Don't knock it just because you don't see it being played. And it's not the first attention, reissues of models and the core army books has been going on for about the past year.

So, it costs the same to produce Dain plus pig and sans pig as it does to produce 12 Iron Hills dwarfs, in order to sell them both at £40? Pfffffft. That 'presentation box' must be expensive!

Yeah, because we're buying at production value? 5 Sternguard are more expensive than 10 Tac Marines. Being a hero or elite unit results in a higher price.

If you want to try and make that point, you need to contrast Space Marine Commander with the Tactical Squad instead, and you'll see that the Commander isn't the same price as the tac squad.

Knight heads available first at the next Open Day:


And of course the first head is a WHW/Event exclusive part.... that's the one I immediately liked the look of the most (even if it is fairly boring).

The space marine commander is a pretty old model. A better comparison would be any of the more recent clampack SM characters which are a lot closer in price to the Tactical Squad.

FYI, there's one Knight Head missing. I kinda like the two on the right. Leftie looks like some underwater breathing mask.

Not too enthused about the heads. Pretty plain...

Yeah, this seems like something one of the sculptors threw together on their lunch break because they didn't have anything better to do. And the mediocre painting work isn't helping them.

They look like armorcast heads, which actually makes me happy in that stupid way only nostalgia can do.

I want the AdMech ones for my House Raven court and the generic ones to spice up my Vyronii Questoris army.

Still waiting for the Nostraman chainglaives we saw back in June/July. FW why you do this? I have money sitting here in my Paypal waiting for you to release these. Do you not want my money? it is yours, you just have to release the products so I can throw fists full of cash at you.

So you can make your Knight a Cylon now. Cool, I guess.

Those heads look like they belong in steampunk
