OK, I was navigating through the FW website, and I noticed there is now an Iron warriors section (currently empty). I don't think it has been up for long.
Does this mean an Iron warriors kit is next?

That just made my day since I now have 1850 in heresy iron warriors from FW. time to start giving it more character.

Glad to hear that

I'm going to assume it means we will be seeing the Iron warrioir acessories soon. Shoulder pads, rhino doors, ect.

I'm hopeing for some etched brass sheets!

We got to wait closer untill book 3 for Iron warrioir and Imperail fist units and kits proper.

I'm just sitting here, waiting on Raven Guard stuff.

Very excited about what they might do for them. They already have Raven Guard shoulder pads in the upgrade kit, but it would be great to see them release them as a stand alone kit.

And I would just love to see some MK VI Assault Squads.

New stuffs up Typhon looks a lot better painted up but the IW shoulder pads look a bit bland.

Yeah, Typhon looks great but the IW shoulder pads look like bad third party gear.

I'm not very happy with Typhon's bare head, it is much too large. The rest of the figure is quite nice though.

Really liking Typhon, but underwhelmed by the IW shoulderpads.

Wow the iron warrior pads do look like they were called in. "Just take a necron head and glue it o the side of the pad, its HH, those meddling kids will buy anything with HH stuck to it."

I much prefer the puppet wars

Hey can be found here http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=177

The Iron Warriors shoulder pads seem to be missing detail on the mouth. The grill of the skull helm only seems to have two or three lines in each version.

Not loving those salamander shoulders either.

Typhon looks great though.

Typhon looks terrific, and I really like how they did his base. I like how his armor is similar to what he has now, but you can tell on a side-by-side how Chaos has decayed and mutated the current version.

Those Iron Warrior pads are pretty lousy, though.

So Typhon & Graven Wardens for me next - need a bigger tank to fit them all in so I have to buy a Spartan too - oh well.
Oh plus LR door set!

You're right, of course!





Looks like those IW pads would make a good Necron Based Marine Chapter!

I think it works for pre-heresy. Iron Warriros were very, very bland as far as adornment goes. The shoulder pad reflects that. Though I could have done with a more detailed grill on the skull.

There are so many heresy characters I would think about buying if they didn't come wit a 200% extra resin tax in the form of a pile of rubble.

I nominate the Imperial Wardens.

At 1st was disappointed I ordered a bunch of stuff for make my heresy era Iron Warriors from forgeworld just a few days before these pads came out.

After seeing them, I'm not that disappointed anymore.... Really feel like they are lacking detail.

Exalted.

Typhon is bitchin'.

anyone notice the 'forgeworld blog coming soon' on the home page?

That model looks absolutely ridiculous. Possibly the worst forge world HH model brought out so far.

So far THIS year? Surely there are worse models from FW. I'm looking at you Kor Pheron .

They could have at least given them shallow hazard lines/banding.

As blasphemous as it may sound I like old Grandpa Phaeron. Except his face, he looks like someone just ran his sponge bath too cold.

Anyone have an idea on when the R'Varna is going to get approved. Thats what I'm looking forward to.

FW could have easily gone with "bland" but still well-executed. In fact, I think that's where much of FW's best stuff is, design-wise. These just seem lazy, or executed by a really sub=par sculptor.

yeah,

So... all joking aside, that's actually a good idea, right? I don't own the 6th ed book but they can be bros* or whatever according to the secret bro chart*? A chapter of CSM who have decided to worship the Necrons or at least serve them.

*possible not what it's called

Yeah, the bro chart allows them to be bros of convenience.

Always remember that a Bro of Convenience is never a true bro. Being Battle Bro's is a sign of true broship.

Bro.

It is one of the lamest Allies allowed - Warp Worshiping Lunatics with Warp Hating Robots.

But yes - allowed!

aw man, what a buzzkill. You're right, of course, and that totally kills it for me.

We're back to those shoulderpads just sucking, then.

Who are the Imperial Wardens? Am I missing the joke?
