So the new book has the Night Lords, Word Bearers, and Iron Hands? Any other legions?

Night Lords, Word Bearers, Iron Hands and Salamanders I reckon. I'm saddened the Raven Guard appears on the map but not in this book ...

My wallet shivers at the thought.

Don't forget that the Iron Warriors and Alpha Legion are on that map also.

It looks like to me that they will also be adding new stuff to Sons of horus, Emperor's Children, Deathgaurd, and World Eaters. (Judging from the fact of the Phoenix guard and Kakophoni marines for EC) Also alot of the Emperor's Children, Deathgaurd, and World Eater's Named Characters were loyalists in the betrayal book.

So between new 4 legions, and expanding the content for the 4 already released... They sadly had to hold off on some legions for latter books.

On this...

I literally LOLed....

I don't even play those armies, but I might pick up that chaplain - the figure is so stunning. I think the only thing holding me back is that my humble painting skills are no match for that amazing model.

I'm late to the party but that riptide upgrade is hideous. It matches up with the XV9 style that I'm also not a fan of. It feels like they are putting minimal effort in, this is basically charging 20 pounds for an arm and head swap on the original kit, same logic as the XV8s on the forge world site 10.50 pounds for an arm and head swap on the original kit.

Aside from original vehicle sculpts (tetras and barracuda) my wallet is safe from Forge world.

Man I'm so excited about the new HH I hope I'm goona be fortunate enough to get one at Games Day. Any clues on which Primarch is going to be available at GD?

Everything points towards Ferrus Manus, as him and the Fulgrim model shall form a kind of Diorama ...

My next FW order is gonna be huge ... the new HH book, Ferrus Manus, Erebus, Kor Phaeron and the Phoenix Guard. Whew ...

You mean the XV8s that virtually every Tau player agrees are a massive upgrade over the original? If it's a choice between paying $20 for an ugly static mess of a "model" or $40 for a much better design then I think the choice is pretty obvious.

The Riptide kit is more of the same: it's an upgrade in every way, and its biggest flaws are the kit that it's based on.

Well I am in the minority then, because I don't see the value in paying that much for an arm and head swap, especially given Forge Worlds quality control issues. Chalk this up to one more thing you and I do not agree on.

What "quality control issues" would they be ?
I have been buying FW for years and apart from some old kits that did not fit very well, most of it has been bang on.

Same boat, I only had QA issues on some old Bombards I picked up years ago. There have been no quality issues on any of the many things I have picked up since.

I had issues with my Chaos Warhound titan, but it's certainly an older kit. I've not had any issues with FW kits from the last 3-4 years other than excessive flashing on MKIII legs.

As to the FW quality control issues, the only issue I've had was a slightly warped Astral Claw Rhino Door, which with a little warm water was straight as a board, and fit perfectly into my rhino .

Astral Claws rhino! I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Nice Rhino by the way!

I would if I had it painted

Those WB leaders look fantastic. The leaked pics did them no justice at all, very characterful and I may just get them for the joy of painting 'em up.

Also, is the sculpter new to FW? I don't think I have seen that fella before...

Haven't seen this posted yet...




Codex: Chaos Daemons allies for Erebus.

It was posted on the last page imposter.

At the heresy weekender FW staff were saying each new book would get a new unit for the existing armies as well as new units for the new armies - if that makes sense. I noticed a number of Sons of Horus infantry in pictures from the forge world weekend that don't appear anywhere else, if I remember they were labelled as Reavers but armed with bolters. Mark Bedford also told me he had a head set for Death Guard to take them from Crusade armour to the helmets seen in the FW chaos kits. So hopefully we might see some infantry conversion kits soon.

You can also view our trailer for The Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre as well as a video of writer Alan Bligh talking about what you can expect to find in this forthcoming book here.

If you would like to stay up to date with the Forge World Visual Feed of videos dedicated to our latest releases, simply select the Subscribe option in our YouTube channel. This will ensure you receive a notification every time we add new videos.

Erebus and Kor Phaeron will be available for pre-release at Games Day UK, along with the Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre and the Tau XV107 R'Varna Battlesuit. We are still taking reservation orders for Games Day UK for non pre-release product. Click here to find out how to place a reservation order.

If you mean Edgar Skomorowski he is not new. His "debut" model was the gorgeous Vampire Counts Wight King Battle Standard Bearer and then he followed that up with Lietpold the Black.

Cant wait for some NL preview pics... hint hint. Would help plan out our spending a bit better.... Or perhaps maybe some idea of what the new squads do like you had for the Reavers.

With Erebus and Kor Phaeron being available for pre release at Games Day I somehow doubt we will see another Primarch as well. Together with the 2nd book it just seems to be too much.

Last year there was:
A book.
Angron .
Terminators.
New legion armour sets.
Jet bikes.
Fellblade.
Two contemptors.
And I think some RoB tiles.

Just got of the phone to a guy at forgeworld, placing my pre-order, he said ferrus would be there, but he was not sure if he' d be on sale.

What a tease! It's like saying a lady of the night is available, but she's on her break and as such isn't able to acquiesce your request.
