WAIT.
FW sneak peaks in a WD?

*waits for the men in red shirts to kick down his door*

Oooph. That Abaddon looks tasty. Need to see better shots of Loken for me to decide what I think of him though...

Some small rumours on FW releases, posted here for lazyness:

Birdy via Darnok over at Warseer wrote:1. The latest IA book should have been finished last week but has over run a bit, will be completed and going to the printers very soon.

2. Work on the next heresy book will increase after latest IA book has been finished off

3. Black Fire Pass book has been delayed. May not be completed until after the second heresy book could be pushed even further down the line.

IA book should be the Necron one.
On Death Korps of Krieg updates:

Our book production team are currently working on a pdf update for the DKK but they have quite a busy work schedule currently. We are hoping to publish this within the next month.

I love the DKoK models, but I don't like their transport options from the army list. I suppose if I were to make a small guard army, I'd just run them as standard IG troops.

One word: CRASSUSARMOUREDASSAULTTRANSPORT.

Hell no, GORGON ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT WITH WEAPON SPONSONS.

Kronk: Yes, its terrible, see my totally inactive thread about Grenadiers and why they're bad because they'll never reach their objective.

This is great news for me, if the DKoK gets a free update, I am going to jump out in joy.

all i want is to see another primarch!

Still too lazy to open a new thread for this tidbit:

Sorry, we were slightly misleading there - the Voss Pattern Lightning is the redesign, we have no plans to return the old one to production.

So it appears the Ork Fighta model is gone, but there is hope that the others (especially the classic lightning) will be redesigned and make a comeback.

Can this Sanai guy not read?

Sometimes I underestimate the need of people to stomp on other posters. So here is the correct sequence:

And, a while later:

What about the dreadclaw?

The Aquila? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Welp, I guess that puts to rest the claim that Forgeworld would have three distinct teams and the HH series wouldn't impact the other releases.

That's really disappointing for anyone after stuff that isn't encased in power armour.

Anyone that's put together a dreadclaw will say---Yes, redesign that monstrosity please.

I wouldn't mind a HH dreadclaw, one without all the chaos icons and whatnot so that they can be used in any army. Saves me having to build a plasticard one anyway!

Finally, some news on the new IA. I really want that badboy.

Necron IA will be GLORIOUS!

It seems Necrons get the book, but the DKoK gets the free rules, all is good, lalalalalala.

After that Forge World will alternate releasing books on Horus Heresy, then Space Marines, then Horus Heresy, ...
After 5 years you will long for a new Imperial tank I'd say

I am very excited about this, actually!

I can only agree with wanting a new dreadclaw, I didn't get one prior to the aeronautica update and now that I want the damned things just after a rules update and they don't even sell them. Would be nice to see those legion heavy weapon sets too, the autocannons were great and all but lot's of people would love to see sets of just missile launchers etc.

Hi there,

In this week’s newsletter we’ve got another fantastic selection of Horus Heresy releases for you: four eagerly-anticipated new Heavy Weapon sets and three new Space Marine armour sets to allow the Legiones Astartes to add Heavy Support squads to their ceramite-clad ranks. We’re also adding to our range of Horus Heresy bundles with no less than nine great new sets.

Space Marine Legion Heavy Support Squads and Heavy Weapon Sets


The Legiones Astartes are provided with devastating, mobile firepower by their heavy support squads; units of Space Marines bearing the heaviest weapons available and tasked with smashing armoured vehicles apart and shattering hordes of enemy troops in withering hails of fire.

Will Hayes has designed three Legion Heavy Support squads, clad in MkII, MkIII and MkIV armour. Each kit contains enough parts to build five multi-part resin Space Marines, comprising five different sets of legs, and shoulder pads, arms, torsos and helmets.

Will has also designed four new Heavy Weapon sets for use with these squads. The Legion Missile Launcher Set, Lascannon Set, Multi-melta Set and Plasma Cannon Set each contain five detailed resin shoulder-mounted weapons for use with the MkII, MkIII and MkIV Heavy Support squads.

World Eaters Legion Brass Etch Symbols



The World Eaters Legion, and their Primarch Angron, were the most savage and dreaded of the Legiones Astartes, and their assignment to a Crusade fleet or warzone meant only one thing for the enemies of mankind: extermination.

Designed by Paul Rudge, this sheet of World Eaters Legion Etched Brass Symbols is packed with over forty detailed brass Legion symbols, perfect for use with our full range of Space Marine Legion Infantry and Vehicles to further personalise your XIIth Legion force.

All these new Space Marine kits are available to order now for immediate despatch.

New Horus Heresy Bundles



The Horus Heresy bundles that we released in November 2012 are still proving to be incredibly popular, so we’ve decided to leave them available for the foreseeable future and have also added several more:

The Legion MkII Assault Squad Set containing twenty Space Marines and a MkIV Power Weapon Set.

The Legion MkIV Assault Squad Set containing twenty Space Marines and a MkIV Power Weapon Set.

The Legion Deimos Pattern Rhino Set containing three of these iconic transports, ideal for creating a mechanised assault element within your Legion force.

The Legion MkII Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkII Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkIII Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers and Lascannons.

The Legion MkIII Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

The Legion MkIV Heavy Support Squad Set 1 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

The Legion MkIV Heavy Support Squad Set 2 containing twenty Space Marines equipped with Autocannons, Plasma Cannons and Multi-meltas.

All nine of these new bundles are available to order now for immediate despatch, alongside the existing Legion MkII, MkIII and MkIV Tactical Squads, the Contemptor Dreadnought Talon and the Cataphractii Terminators with Power Fists and Power Axes.

Betrayal and Imperial Armour Volume One – Second Edition FAQ and Erratas
Two new FAQ and Errata documents are now available to download from the Forge World website, one covering The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal and the second covering Imperial Armour Volume One – Second Edition: Imperial Guard.

I'm not posting the heavy support bundles. Imagine in your head 20 MKII, III, and IV guys with a variety of weapons. Done...

Yes but this is the "Ongoing FW HH News and Rumors Thread". But thank you for posting it all again after my post and your other thread for extra extra redundancy. I think. I get confused about this stuff. And time travel. Time travel usually gives me a headache though.

Note that I worked out that the 3 rhino package saves you money!
How unlike GW!! Spearately they cost £33 but the 3-pack costs £90 - a 10% saving.
Very tempted to spend my counsil tax money on this!
(as i pay by DD, they split the bill into 10 payments meaning Feb & March are tax-free - yey!)

I'd just like to claim that I am somehow psychic in light of posting about these just before the news letter (I was a little surprised when this turned up in my email). Oh how I wish heavy bolters were more worthwhile because those are so pretty.

yeah,
Seriously this thread is gak heavy can we get a reboot?

With a OP who tracks the updates?? Kronk interested?

Panic...

Unless I am very mistaken, you get the plastic Rhino with the resin bits. This means that after subtracting the cost of the Rhinos themselves, the FW upgrades cost about $10.00 US each. Pretty good deal, if you ask me. Now they need to do this with the Razorback and Predator kits.

Can someone please reboot this thread so that the OP actually updates on a someowhat consistent basis?

Done!
