Well, it was in 7th Ed anyway, not sure about 8th.

Somebody took one or two of those (I forget how many you could fit into 1k in 7th) along with a Warhound in a 2k doubles tournament at Warhammer world that was ranked by number of best game ratings, needless to say they came nearly last.

When someone drops two Supremacy Suits and a Warhound on you, they should also just reach across the table and slap you with their wallet.

It would probably work better than the rules for Titans in 8th. Those need a major redo

No new stuff yet on my end, though they have updated the contest:

Oh crap. That is tempting. But I have 1 shot. This or wait for next week which might or might not be useful for me...ARGH!

Well odds would be pretty slim but the poker player in me is for spending when EV is maximum. Would kick me in ass if next week is even better! (though not much left that would be better...Reaver is about only one that could top this I think. Don't think they give warlord and I already have 1 warhound unlike this one)

Oh wow, a FOURTH week with nothing new. Gotta give them a gold medal for slacking.

Aaaand of course the week that has something I might actually want to win right around the time I actually have a planned FW order that would qualify ends three days before I'll have the money to make the order. Of course it does

I'm honestly surprised this is all we're seeing. FW doesn't even have some doors or shoulder pads as a filler release? I wonder if this means they've been working on an interesting new project, or if they've just been lazy over the holidays and done zero work.

They're re-doing old moulds like the Macharius and Hell Talon.

I would guess they are saving stuff back for the HH weekender on the 3rd Feb, which I am really looking forward to go to.

Also, an important note for people in the US and Canada: you can enter for free. Under US law prize giveaways like this can not require a purchase to enter, you have to be able to enter for free. In the contest rules there's an email entry option that you can send in if you don't want to buy anything that would qualify.

FW sleepwalking ... instead of having upgrade kits ready for Custodes to coincide with GW release

According to the newsletter, The Nazgûl of Dol Guldur are pre-order today.

All I see in the T&Cs is : "Countries: Open worldwide excluding USA, Canada, Ireland and Northern Ireland."?

You need to look at the US rules (there should be a link in the rest-of-world rules): https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Win-an-Acastus-Knight-Porphyrion

4. To enter the prize draw, you must either:
(a) place an order on www.forgeworld.co.uk of at least £50 GBP excluding Virtual Gift Vouchers, Sales Tax and shipping costs (a “Qualifying Online Order”);
or
(b) send an email to competitions@gwplc.com with the subject line ‘Win a T’au KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour’. The body of the email must include: your full name; your contact telephone number; and your full address.

(Pretty obvious cut and paste error on the prize listed, but I'd call and verify if you want to enter that way.)

And note that this is not an optional thing for FW to offer. It's illegal to run a giveaway like this in the US and require a purchase to enter. If they want to have it open to US residents they are required to offer a free entry option. So if you ever see a contest in the US without one stated you should contact the company running it and tell them that they are breaking the law and must allow you to enter for free.

Ahh, I see - I was just checking if it was free for the whole world, but seems like only you folks across the pond get to

Nah just the countries where they are legally bound. Other countries have mandatory quiz as you can't give just by random but entrant must show some "skill" so they get asked something very simple(wouldn't surprise if it was like "what was name of primarch that led Horus Heresy" or something like that Either case something that's silly easy for the target customer)

If I'm right in thinking, that's because a compo that requires a purchase become gambling?

I'm sure we've got the same thing in the UK. Or at least used to. Crisp Packet prize draws used to have the 'no purchase necessary, write in and we'll open a bag for you, honest' thing.

I like the dude with the axe, but the others are distinctly meh.

I wish they separated the competition by region if they're going to apply different criteria to entrants in different places.

Doesn't seem like it's worth paying to enter when everyone in the US can get in for free.

I'd be shocked if someone from the USA actually wins though!

So, if you were going to order anyway, this is just a nice [potential] bonus...

It's not so much that they are giving different criteria; but rather that different governments enforce different criteria depending on the nature of the competition.

Also lets be honest its a single prize and even at a slow period I'm sure FW makes quite a good number of sales - ergo free or paid the chances of winning are very slight.

I just ordered an Acastus last knight before I knew what it was today. It would be hilarious and awesome if that entry won an Acastus.

I'd be OK with that!

Best of luck to you!

Does anyone know where they ever post the winners? I don't think I have ever actually heard of anyone winning one of these contests.

Apparently Cyraxus is coming out around March, anyone else heard about this? Can you clarify if this is right or not?

Someone please confirm this. I find it hard to believe Fires will ever truly be released.

When is the next Open day for FW? Anyone know?

Haven't heard corroboration myself - but all rumours start with a single one!

I'll keep some cashmunneh aside for that badboy.

Next FW event is the HH weekender at the start of February. FW have released a IA book at a HH weekender before, I bought IA 13 at one before it went on general sale. However I would guess that would be too early as I can't see FW releasing an IA book featuring Tau before the Tau codex dropped.

The next big event that isn't AoS only is Warhammerfest in May, after that FW have an open day in July.

So either Forgeworld will release the new IA online when the Tau codex comes out, or they will likely wait till May?
