Hooray! Hopefully FoC gets released this month, so I can try my luck.

I'm afraid you are already out of luck.

I'd imagine they will look something like this:

Glad they did that immediately after I made my FW order. The first one, mind you, in years. :/

Did what? The contest? You live in the US, so it doesn't matter.

This competition is open to customers in the UK only

Bah.

The one month I have no money, and don't need any FW goodies.

Haha yeah. Last month put like over 1000€ to FW. No way I can order now. Especially since I go to Japan in 3 weeks meaning a) my savings are so low if I order stuff from FW I have no emergency reserves b) packet would arrive probably when I'm out of country...

Ah well. Odds of winning would have been bad anyway.

edit: And wrong country to boot

I missed that. And what a stupid stipulation.

Missed that as well, oh, for feth's sake, FW. Why.

It's a great stipulation if it means that I have a greater chance of winning

In all seriousness it does seem a little unfair to all of the non-UK folk.

It probably has something to do lottery laws again or the like.

In the US, we have lotteries in just about every state. And casinos and stuff. Really, not sure why the US was excluded. Likely it just makes the contest easier on them.

FW are really making it hard to hold off on starting a Custodes force. Inferno selling out may have been a blessing in disguise as far as my wallet and pile of shame is concerned .

So does almost every other country/state in the world, not to mention that it wasn't so much the US was excluded, but that it's a UK only thing, so everyone was excluded. It's actually quite common for the giveaways and contests to exclude quite a few places (with Australia being one of the main ones mind you, especially for GW) due to rules/law clashes.

Is this an old 3rd party item, or a new FW thing?

so i hear that Horus Heresy: Inferno is FW best book in it's HH series

is this true?

You realize that both the opinion that you heard, and any answers anyone may give you, are entirely subjective, right?

But, as a long-time Thousand Sons player, I am happy, so there's that.

They are old 3rd party from Velard Miniatures.

Story is they are pretty hard to get a hold of, GW shut them down years ago.

Rick Priestley (I think) talked in an interview about how GW was almost bankrupted because they printed too many books at one point... I think his example was Gorkamorka. There's a very good reason to print conservatively.

Got my copy of Gorkamorka as a freebie with a one year WD subscription.

Just looking on the website now and the MK IV assault marines are listed as Sold Out.

Possible repackage as a conversion kit for the plastic models?

I'd certainly buy a couple if they did.

They seem to be ruining things now. The dread pod was destroyed and there were "delays" while producing my apothecarys.

I think it's the fastest selling, has quite a few units with rather good rules as well as having 2 of the most popular legions along with custodes in it added to the fact that it's been delayed from meaning to be book 2 over the last ~3 years, but it's also chock-full of spelling mistakes, copy-paste errors, poor rules wording, missing information and publishing errors like having warhammer world tourists as reflections in some of the page backgrounds, so take your pick on what you consider "best".

Pressure of the customers for more stuff leading to rushed production maybe?

I wouldn't be too surprised if the Custodian Terminators are going to be a plastic kit. Writing on the wall rumor wise seems to put them as eventually getting their own faction for 40k

That's even better. No messy resin to bother with.

Im of the exact same mindset.

I love seeing all the forgeworld stuff for sure, but resin isnt the material for me either.

So the more Custodian stuff that ends up in plastic the better. And if we get real lucky after the Cadians finish getting squatted we'll get some new Solar Auxilia inspired guard models*.

(* though I would rather live in a world with TONS of guard formations in plastic, Cadian pattern guys included. But its hard to see just what is gonna happen to them now.)

Is there a Force Organization chart in the Inferno like the ones they did for the Space Marine Legion and the Tagmata?

Bah. While it means cheaper number of models in army is so small price with resin isn't too much of an issue anyway and resin results in higher quality details. Not nice :(

I actually prefer rain to plastic, its just so much lighter and the spruces aren't so complicated.

Rain to plastic? What kind of hobby hipster are you?

I mean spruce is great if you're into that kinda thing, but I prefer plastic.

RESIN! I MEANT RESIN!
