This is the " Latest Forge World news and rumour thread" - we're getting a little too far afield in here now.

For a whopping 900 points, that seems totally fair to me. Considering that you can field more than 3 Wraithknights for just one Revenant Titan, this is about right in terms of performance & power.

Mutter, mutther... Now where's my credit card so I can buy one of these?

Clearly unbiased reasoning from the guy with 9500 points of eldar

Anyways, has there been any news other than that new Diorama, of the IG vs tau imperial armor book?

IG vs tau, don't you mean ad-mech?

Yes Ad Mech I meant, had another tab open and someone was talking about IG and brain farted

Anyone have better pictures of the updated lynx rules? I cant really make out anything on the one a few pages back.

Balanced Wraithknight Anyone that says those two words in that sequence has no clue about unit pricing, it is as simple as that. It's possibly the single most under-priced model in 40K.

The Revenant got mega-buffed, it can run 12" after moving 36" while still firing four D Large Blasts in the same turn. Oh and now it is hit on 5s and 6s in combat and it has a potent anti-air gun.
WTF Forge World? Seriously. WTF!?

They forgot to put a 1 in front of that 900.

I think the new wraithknight rules are FW trolling GW - anyone with a brain can see it needs extra points added or a bit of a nerf, but, no! you're even more screwed!

"Steal the name of one of our HQ choices, huh? Okay with rules creep, huh?!? Fine - we'll show you imbalance ya Please don't bypass the language filter like this. Reds8n


I'm not keen on the new leviathan dreadnought - again, FW trolling GW?

It is to the contemptor, what the 'devcent' is to spehs muhreens - especially the feet.

I'm not a fan of the fat suit bomb squad contemptor. Ironically, I wouldn't comment on it if FW hadn't made a dozen dreadnoughts over the past few years (largely just cosmetic variants). The relic contemptor, weaponized M&M doredo, possessed word bearer/chaos contemptor, and this mashup would have been sufficient but we got the original contemptor (that I bought right away... and then regretted when they came out with the "relic" a few months later) plus another half dozen legion variants.

Oh yeah..



Now to find a place that sells a cheap 7" blast template.

Someone has to convert a grimdark Marvin the Martian operating that...

Mantic's Dreadball has referee model that looks like him.

That wraithknight is pretty sweet. Although I am curious, aside from the ability to go into ongoing reserves why would anyone use its pack? It can moves 12 inches anyways as a jump MC. why risk scattering and the like?

Maybe it's a typo and the Warp Spider WK can actually teleport 12' (FEET), not 12" (inches)?

great for tournament play as you jump onto the board of the "no one can beat that guy" and help trounce him then jump back to your table at the end . I've heard of people using the old basilisk range similarly (judges really didn't like the other guy anyway), and was wondering if the deathrocket the IG has have done the same.

Yeah, we used to do that basilisk thing in Apoc, but awesome to fire onto other game boards in tournaments. Brings new meaning to the phrase "team tactics"...

It was more of a local tournament, no standings or real prizes. The guy with the basilisks was playing a friend who was also willing to ignore a turn of firing to watch the other guy whine.

Yeah, it was badly handled. Also, the publicity made a big thing about black library and there were no talks on that, nor was it particularly clear what was going on with it.
If you've never seen WHW, it would be worth the trip. But being a store and having a few figures you can only buy on the day is not an event.

Yep, true, I think I was expecting too much having not been for a couple of years.

One of the chaps I was with wrote to FW to let them know he was not happy having made the journey and not managed to get into a seminar, they wrote back pretty quickly apologising and gave him a full refund.

Just go to your local hardware store and have them cut a sheet of plexiglass or plywood down to 7" wide and however long the range of the gun is.

Raven Guard Mor Deythan Strike Squad




Raven Guard Transfers

Hopefully next week we'll see either the Medicae Orderlies, Veletaris with power axes or the Ulator.

Wow, those are gorgeous, but feth me - £50 for 5. Those are more expensive than Terminators or most of the other Legion Unique Units

The Ultramarines Invictarii Suzerains would like to contest that statement, sir..

yeah, the UM Suzerain started the price hike for special units ... the same way Sigismund did for non-primarch special characters

 Crazyterran wrote:

Aye, another bunch. I think they're testing price levels here. Maybe the Suzerains were a bit too steep

Anyone else remember when FW studio painters were putting out masterclass books?

@jonolikespie: Errr... they are releasing a Horus Heresy masterclass book fairly soon in fact.

I bought the Mor dethan squad at the oopen day, but as i was buying afew things i didnt click the cost!

I was looking at the Ultra Suzerin sqd but at £60 i couldnt justify assuming the snipers would be about £35.

Seems FW is trying to regain its mantle as the 'expensive end' of GW again.

Oh and yes, the painting above is quite shockingly poor, he must have done that in an hour

I... don't know how to feel about this. I loved the last one, but a lot of the recent paint jobs are... not something I'd ever expect to pay money for a tutorial of.

WOW...£50 for 5 !!! marines???

Really dig them and would have loved to get those, but I'll wait till I have some money to spare.

Sadly underwhelmed by the RG decal sheet. Up to now the only one I don't like. Which is sad, as I wanted to start a RG army, beeing the founding chapter of the Space Sharks.

Ach, Christmas is about to come...so maybe I'll convince myself to get me the Mor dethan.
