They aren't Mcvey bases, they are FW brass toppers, for Zone Mortalis - just FYI

I'm loving all the mechanicus stuff - very happy that they are really fleshing out that line.

The iron hands are also looking amazing with all their bionics. I might just have to build some kind of admech/iron hand army. Sigh, every release just gets better.... I'll be waiting to see the rest of the releases, before I actually settle on a legion grrr.

There is some hella good stuff coming out of FW these days. Most of it is putting GW releases to shame.

Those World Eater termies are brutal looking. While i'm not a fan of the Lorgar model i could see it being quite awesome with a bit of converting.

I dont know whats with all the hate towards the Logar model, i think its a nice contrast too all the dynamic poses we've had so far.

It looks like they've tried too sculpt him more how he is portrayed in the Betrayer novel, more world weary and less energetic zealot

I can safely say after the last batch of releases (kakophani's especially) im going too be broke for a long long while...

Earlier today I was pondering, "Thay could do a more stern pose with one or two of the primarchs." But never expected being Lorgar. The pose could work for the Lion or Alpharius, even Guilliman.

My eyes: "So beautiful...."

My wallet: "The horror.... THE HORROR..."

World Eater Red butchers are pretty amazing!

Forgeworld just keeps pumping out better replacements for all my CSM stuff!

Only the boots have a "cog" look or flair to them, though.

That isnt an X it is cross scythes.... besides they don't look anything like Iron Hands. Also check the exhausts obviously Death Guard.

Already been discussed, brettz. But thanks.

You are welcome

Well that's a pretty big disappointment. Nothing at all besides marines, marines, and more marines? Not even a hint of more IA books in the foreseeable future?

The Heresy stuff is the new hotness; it's driving sales and making FW rather large sums of money, so it's what they're focusing on. First Warhammer Forge got shoved to the sideline for it, now the regular FW stuff seems to have been sidelined to a point as well. I haven't heard a single whisper as to what the next book might be, or it's focus. This is somewhat understandable, as Massacre is next on the schedule for release, but for those of us not really interested in the HH expansion, there doesn't seem much to discuss. FW's new releases are all Mk IV shoulder pads of legion X, Contemptor Variant Z, and while they look cool, there are things other than marines out there.

Hell, I even like marines, but the idea of a solely marine vs marine game holds zero appeal to me, where's the dynamism, where's the asymmetry? The Legion list is totally awesome, the rules they've created look fun and amusing, but I have no use for any of it, as cool as it may look.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but do these units in the HH books have the 40k approved stamp?

Not 100% if anyone already posted these but here they are...

The guy on the right would also make a really good umpire, again, sans axes.

I'm sad about this "no warhammer forge for the next two years", huge bummers.

But then I realized something.

Been alot of buzz going around that in 2 years we will get the new ed of fantsey...

I a litttle bit of Warhammer for ya...

4 Primarches a year, 18 Primarches, at least two versions per Primarch (bar Ferrus *may be*), 4 already done thats:

((18*2)-(1+4))/4=7.7 Years left at the current rate! Another 8 years or so, just crazy.

Two books a year means at least 14 or 15 more books. Three books a series, means we could have:

1-3 Isstvan
3-6 Prospero
7-9 Ultramar
10-12 ???
13-16 Terra

How does that sound?

What Lorgar really needs is a near-death Avatar of Khaine to loom over. He may have been a bitch in most novels, but he certainly dropped a pair in Aurelian:

fething painful is how it sounds to me. The absolute focus on marine v marine is easily the most dull aspect of the entirity of GW's hobby range, no matter how nice the actual models. I'd do anything for a bit of Xenos or Fantasy, I really did think that Warhammer Forge was a turning point and that we'd see a bit more variety. To hear news otherwise (Fantasy book pushed back for TWO years) is very disappointing.

Though, I'm probably the only one by the sounds of things. Everyone loves marines

They are planning to get one version of all primarchs out before any alternates, so 3 years for the first version of all of them, also, the books Tony Cotrell said in the seminar that they had timelined up to 30 battles they could do books for, 3-6 is prospero, signus ( with dark angels thrown in), and Calth, by which point every legion except white scars will have had at least some love. After that there is talk of mars, and dark mechanicum, the plan being to put enough ad mech in the first six that when they get to dark mech there's already a well established starting point.


Prospero will definantly have custodes and sisters of silence, signus will obviously cover demons, Oh and Calth will include some imperial army.

I assume the two versions of the traitors will be beginning of heresy/traitor but what are the two versions of the loyalists? Just different poses?

You are correct on the traitors, as for the loyalists Its poses, weapons, armour (such as corax with and without flight pack) etc, also there was talk of a possible "parade ground" set of poses for all. Its all fluid and a ways off yet, first priority is to nail down all 18 once, beyond that who knows.

When forgeworld write units like the NL Terror Squad in Massacre - are they going to do specific models for them or do we go buy any FW marine armour variant and make our own?

(Starting a Night Lords army and want to be as fluff accurate as possible -also what armour do they use mostly?)

Is there a release (or a rumoured release) schedule for Heresy units?

Right now it looks like all special/elite units are treated properly by FW and get their own models ... sometimes the rules come out earlier than the models and sometimes its the other way around.

30 books at 2 a year would be insane if they meant 1 battle per book, 14 years is a very long time to keep everybody's interest especially as they are beginning to wind up the BL HH books and I estimate we have 2 or 3 years left of those.
