Fulgrim is rumored to be the next Primarch to get a model.

The Abbaddon and Loken work-in-progress was in the previous WD, and appeared to be ~80% complete. I'd be shocked if they weren't released long before it, since it's not until May 18 & 19.

My thoughts exactly. IF you happen to live in the UK (or be able to get there, or be rich), and IF you happen to get a ticket, you too can get these rare exclusive items everyone would like to get.....

How is it different to any other convention out there?

Why? Because it's so pricey? It is boocoo bucks, but it does seem a lot like any other gaming convention, if very focused on one game! I'm happy to attend our local (Frisco) Kubla Con for $40 for the weekend. Admission doesn't include any exclusive minis for my favorite games, however...

**d3m01iti0n**

I love Forge World. They get gak done and keep the fans/customers happy. If they werent insanely expensive I would have a ton of this stuff

**Harriticus**

Mainly just want to see what the next new models look like.

It doesn't, but we're going to be seeing event only models from Forge World as usual. With the timeframe between now and the actual event, there's plenty of room for the models to be shown.

**kronk**

If I lived in the UK, I'd totally go.

It says Exclusive products on sale
• Brand new Forge World Horus Heresy models

on the Black library web page.

**Koppo**

I'm going, but mainly for these:

Workshops and demonstrations from Forge World’s master modellers and painters

**Fenrir Kitsune**

• Limited edition Black Library anthology, with six brand new stories

Ebay flippers dream!

**Alpharius**

BL continues to do the limited availability money grab thing - though with GW doing much the same... no surprises!

It should be noted that BL have said these stories will be made available at a later date, in a different format.

**Scrub**

I'd love to attend this but at £70 I think I'll give it a miss, sadly

To the peeps that do go though, take your camera and show us the results when you're done!

**Squidbot**

Someone bring me back an Abnett, please.

Me too ... I really enjoy what FW is doing, but for my taste its still way too slow. When will the final primarch be released? In 2025?

The rational thinker in me (who I keep locked up as much as possible) seems to think that "selling to everyone" might yield more profits than "selling to only a few".

Though that could be the crazy person in me pretending to be the rational thinker. He does that sometimes.

**reds8n**

We believe there is a vast opportunity to add value to GW through the publishing, promotion and selling of Citadel publications in a variety of super-premium, collectable formats, at the highest possible prices, direct to the dedicated consumer.

**kronk**

I believe I'll wait for the paper back.

**Fenrir Kitsune**

Wheres the quote from?

**CaptKaruthors**

I'd go if I could...at least FW shows off what's coming out in advance...unlike GW.

...who happens to live in the UK?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Well you live in the USA which has loads of decent conventions to attend (not nessesarily GW centric ones),

where as in the UK they're pretty limited (and often a lot smaller)

so swings and roundabouts really
