Has anyone noticed some of the experimental rules appear to have changed?

The Predator with the 3 shot plasma now appears to available for blood angels (not fast though) and now chaos don't get to take it.

Is this old and I've just missed it or does it now supercede the last set of published rules?

Those are old (document "created" date in mid-2012) experimental rules that were never taken down. The current rules are in IA:Apocalypse.

LEGION SICARAN VENATOR



A variant of the Sicaran battle tank introduced towards the end of the Great Crusade, the Sicaran Venator is a purpose-built tank destroyer. It mounts the fearsome neutron laser system and the atomantic arc-reactors required to power it. The neutron laser is a formidable anti-armour weapon, and is capable of penetrating any known armour. The combination of mobility, protection and firepower being highly valued by the Space Marine Legions.

The Sicaran Venator, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, is a complete resin kit that comes with a choice of lascannon or heavy bolter sponsons, as well as a remote turret-mounted heavy bolter. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Saturday 30th November.

Where are the rules for this as I can't find it in Massacre? Trying to workout if this or the Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer is better points value.

Quite a nice design. I like the automatic heavy bolter mount topside, a nice modern touch that the Imperium has since forgot how to make. I do hope they're almost done with space marine tanks, though, there's no design space left for any more, I dont think.

I thought they already made the grav tank years ago?

Baneblades have remote controlled sponsons.

They made an article showing how to scratch-build / convert one from a deodorant bottle. I cannot recall which White Dwarf that was, though.

The amount of tanks coming out that look nearly identical is getting beyond boring now. It's just lazy. I know the Istavan battle is tank heavy but please titillate us with something original.
Heresy models have been so loved because they are different from the 40k range and yet still within the general feel of it all.

No laziness FW consider yourself scolded!!

Yeah... not that enthused by the new giant tanks...

Its in a really old codex, too, from 2nd ed.

Its from WD93 or 94.

It may have made it into Chapter Approved but it definitely asn't a 2nd edition creation.

Just so everyone knows, we've tweaked the Badab Space Marine Characters update and the Chapter Tactics rules. The only change in the latter is to finesse the wording on the Red Hunters 'By This Seal' rule, but if anyone has any questions please feel free to pass them along.

Still no love for Mister Korvydae :c

You would be surprised how many are left for FW to make actually! Check out Heliodore's blog sometime, he seems to have rummaged up a considerable amount of tanks/SM craft from the depths of Rogue Trader books and whatnot.

More OT, the latest tank looks pretty nice. I do like me a big laser cannon...

The Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion, Ferrus Manus, was a figure of legend amongst the peoples of his home world of Medusa, named by them ‘the Gorgon’ after the most ancient of mythic creatures. Ferrus was amongst the strongest of the Primarchs, dwarfing many of them in both strength and stature.

He was blessed of a physiology remarkable even amongst the Primarchs. His arms were sheathed in liquid metal, the result, so the legends of Medusa claim, of a battle fought against the mightiest of beasts on that world before he was re-united with the Emperor. His armour is as heavy and impenetrable as that of a super-heavy tank, yet he keeps both arms uncovered so that he might bring their full might to bear.

Ferrus Manus, designed by Simon Egan, is an amazingly detailed multi-part resin model armed with Forgebreaker and equipped with the Medusan Carapace. The latest edition to our Horus Heresy Character Series, Ferrus stands atop a scenic base depicting the carnage on Isstvan V. Available to pre-order now, this model will be despatched from Friday 8th November.

Rules and background for the Primarch Ferrus Manus and his Legion can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Two: Massacre. You can find out how Simon Egan approached this iconic project here. The base of Ferrus Manus can also be combined with Fulgrim’s to create a diorama of the two Primarchs duelling.


"Rest? We were not made to rest; we go on, unflinching, unstoppable, unending in our strength. The Emperor did not make us for such mortal concerns as hearth and home, vanity or contemplation; we are his engines of war, his hammers, beating out the fabric of existence into a vessel fit for Mankind to inhabit."

Ferrus Manus, as quoted in ‘Shadow of the Gorgon’ by the remembrancer Czel Atternus




Renowned for their pride, cold-hearted brutality and remorselessness in battle, the Iron Hands were among the most powerful and famed Space Marine Legions of the Great Crusade. They were the hammer that had shattered countless foes in the Emperor’s quest to liberate Mankind from the darkness of Old Night.

Since the dark times of the Horus Heresy, in honour of their Primarch Ferrus Manus, the Iron Hands ritually replace their right hands with a mechanical augmentation; to them flesh has become symbolic of weakness and weakness is something that they will not tolerate.

Designed by Israel Gonzalez, the Iron Hands Legion Mk III Squad is a five-man multi-part kit fitted out in Mk III Iron Armour that features many details such as cybernetic limbs, a nuncio-vox and an auspex. This kit is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 8th November. If you would like to further customise your Iron Hands force, there is also a Chapter Upgrade bundle available as well as an Iron Hands Legion section on our website.



"The dimension of mercy is above the warrior’s thoughts and has no place in them; only cruel necessity and the solaces of victory constitute the warrior’s philosophy, whole and entire."

Ruth’vann Magnar, Warlord of Albia, M.29





The Deimos pattern is an early type of Vindicator used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, although many are still operational in the service of Space Marine Chapters in the 41st Millennium. A powerful assault tank, the Vindicator's principal armament is a heavy-calibre demolisher cannon capable of shattering fortifications and breaching the armour plates of tanks with equal ease. It is invaluable in urban warfare as it can blast and shunt its way through barricades and obstacles, enabling troops following behind free passage through streets that might have otherwise swiftly degenerated into kill zones.

The Legion Deimos Pattern Vindicator, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, is a complete resin and plastic kit, and is available to buy now. Rules for the Legion Vindicator can be found in The Horus Heresy Book One – Betrayal.


"Victory is won by the precise application of superior force at the point of maximum vulnerability."

Perturabo, Primarch of the Iron Warriors




We have now added Legion Upgrade Bundles for the Death Guard, Emperor’s Children, Iron Hands, Night Lords, Sons of Horus, Word Bearers and World Eater Legions to our Horus Heresy range. Featuring etched brass, decal sheets, vehicle doors and shoulder pads, these bundles are a great way to customise your Legion force.

REALM OF BATTLE SPACE MARINE CASTELLUM STRONGHOLD[]

When the situation calls for a prolonged deployment, Space Marines can rapidly construct modular fortified structures, known as Castellum Strongholds, to use as forward operating bases on a planet’s surface.

Designed by Blake Spence, the Realm of Battle Space Marine Castellum Stronghold is a 24" x 24" (609 mm x 609 mm) tile which can fit the Citadel Realm of Battle board. The model features areas that can accommodate Tarantula Sentry turrets, and its design allows several boards to be put together, expanding the size of the base. The Castellum Stronghold will be available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Saturday 30th November.

Castellum Strongholds were used in our Isstvan V display boards at Games Day UK which you can see here.

Just had a Forgeworld newsflash. In amongst the Buy Me bits for existing books was this little gem:

All the tanks are now explained.

Anyone heard if there will be any more mech released before Christmas? Looking to finish off my list. Thinking it unlikely as they seemed to be focused on the bundle packages. Which are way cool but except the second zone mortalis tile bundle not for me. Needing more robot bits!

I hope they get the last of the previewed AdMech stuff out.

We're quickly approaching the deadlines for getting your Christmas orders in, so I wonder just how much new stuff we'll see?

Spotted by Orock in 40k general: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/I/IA2_2nd_contents.pdf

Also, clues to future releases - Infernum pattern razorback? Sounds like the old Lascannon and twin linked plasma gun version maybe making a re-appearance...

Also - looks like a few Space Marine super heavies have made it in...

Also entry for the Sister's Repressor. Another rule-change? Or just the pdf-update, who knows!

And released!

I had to laugh at "War Machines of the Adepta Sororitas", and on the next page: THE MIGHTY RHINO.

So the only way to get free shipping from Forge World now is one of those stupid vouchers?
I was all set to order a few hundred pounds worth but I'm not paying an extra 15% shipping! it's laughable.

They still offer their free express shipping for orders over 250 pound

But the voucher is still stupid.
