I mean they are nice and whatever but there is only so many times you can see the same basic armour and vehicle chassis before you're completely and utterly over it.

I'm quite happy, actually. I'm enjoying the retro and throwback designs - in many cases much more than figures that have come since.

FORGE WORLD BLOG #3

Earlier this week I found this terrifying device perched on the desk of Master Mould Maker Neil Cook. I hear this weapon, freshly sculpted by Keith Robertson, will be added to the Tyranid arsenal soon.

Also keeping me away from my desk this week was an awesome army owned by our resident painter Matt Murphy-Kane. Not content with painting every newly forged model, Matt’s been working on a Legion of his own, the pride of the Warmaster himself, the Sons of Horus.

“It’s all about a theme,” Matt says. “My idea for the army was to take Abaddon and his 1st Company elite, then as time went on I added to it.” Quite an understatement as his collection now includes a Fire Raptor and Legion Fellblade, and a whole lot more!

Matt is certain on what keeps him working on his own models after painting all day, “I like to see an amazing scene on the tabletop when I’m playing games so I aim to have everything painted in my army. If I buy something for my army, I won’t use it until it’s painted.”

If you've been working on a Legion of your own, why not send us some photos of it via our Facebook page.

That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World studio.

Chris.

Is that a TL Devourer?! Oh YES!

**Joyboozer**

Finally, a Devourer with the super combined strength of two devourers!

**reds8n**

One wonders then if the new nid monsters will see a rerelease of a corrected/improved "IMPERIAL ARMOUR VOLUME FOUR - THE ANPHELION PROJECT "

That would be lovely indeed.

Shortly after they evolve to look like pre Hersey marines in mark I power armor

**Redemption**

That does make one wonder, if there's 2 Devourers on each arm, would that make it a quad-linked Devourer? I guess the big question is whether or not the other arm also has 2 Devourer hives, or is a feeder arm for this one. If it has 4 hives, it will be very useful for flying Hive Tyrants, where the wings already take up one pair of arm slots.

**Shandara**

I find it funny it would evolve into 2 separate launchers instead of just a bigger one!

**Bulldogging**

I would love for that to be WYSIWYG devourers for Flyrants.

Earlier this week I found this terrifying device perched on the desk of Master Mould Maker Neil Cook.

PRISONER'S SECRET JOURNAL ENTRY #2521

The device points directly at my head. My tormentors claim it is harmless...so long as I keep modeling. In fact, the slower I work, the more the device thrums with energy. I fear if I stop altogether, I would not exist anymore. Of course the electric prods they shock me with every ten minutes gives me more than ample focus at my job...making more space marine bolters and shoulder pads.

I believe I forgot my birth day.

Increasingly I find myself annoyed at Tyranids looking like they have guns, rather than appendages that happen to have a projectile aspect. Aside from being the antithesis of 'nids (who are supposed to be an overwhelming wave of claws and teeth) it doesn't look right. They're stuck halfway between designed weapon and organic bio-construct, which is not a good place to be /rant

The Mk. 3 helms in that kit are wonderful. Shame about the insistence of putting some kind of rubbish tabard on the bodies, but at least there are no capes!

**Bull0**

Spoiler:

It's good for my self esteem that this forge world staffer's Abaddon has as bendy a sword as mine does.

**Medium of Death**

I wonder what the devourer is all about? Really wish they would give us more than an arm as a hint.

i just replaced the sword on mine, seemed like less hassle in the long run

Me too. VERY happy with what they've been doing.

I just wish their blog entries would have more pictures in them.

**coolmandool**

Wow. That FW staffers Justaerin army looks pretty sweet. Beautifully painted, arguably better painted than some of the product shots that end up on Forgeworlds proper site!

Anyone know where the helmet from that legion praetor comes from?

To hazard a guess? Two Twin-linked Devourer option for the Flyrant since the wings take up one of the arm slots and the Carnifex kit has a single devourer pair....

**Barzam**

Hmm. I wonder if this is a hint that we might be seeing old school styled Genestealer Hybrids before too long.

I completely agree. That has always bugged me.

Pretty sure it's one of the upgrade kit heads from this kit with the topknot swapped out for a fetching, sideways affair

We'll be throwing open the doors of Warhammer World once again for our annual Open Day on Sunday 30th March.
Forge World Studio
Warhammer World
Games Workshop
Lenton
Nottingham
NG7 2WS
UK

Sunday 30th March

Tickets for this event are available now!

The entirety of both the Forge World design team will be attending the Open Day, showcasing all manner of work-in-progress models and recent releases.

The Art and Book Design team will also be at there showcasing the process by which Imperial Armour books are created, and may even be seen working on artwork for future book projects on their advanced cogitator devices. The Forge World writers will be on hand to talk about the process of writing an Imperial Armour book.

Our Sales stands will be packed with a huge selection of resin kits, books and modelling supplies, including some very exciting pre-release kits. The Open Day painting competition will again be judged by our Studio team, and all attendees can enter. Your entry should consist of a single Forge World model of any type, although we do advise that cabinet space may be limited. The prize, of course, is the prestigious Forge World Open Day trophy. We’ll also be running our Charity Titan Raffle, which is always incredibly popular. Tickets will be on sale throughout the day for a mere £1 each; all proceeds will be donated to Children In Need and the prize will be a complete mighty Imperial Reaver Titan.

RESERVATIONS
To place a reservation order for a show, please call us on 0115 900 4995. We will need your name, a contact telephone number and e-mail address, along with the list of products you wish to reserve.

Was this considered quite a good event by those that attended it last year?

Hopefully they'll get a fair few amounts of tickets sold for that.

From the reports I read it was essentially like Gamesday, back when it was interesting, but smaller and all about FW.

Whether you'd class that as "good" or worth attending depends on how much you like FW, although in practice at the present time that means "how much you like HH".

I just want to find out what this year's event model is, a few of the recent ones have been real crackers, and this year I know someone who'll actually be attending so I won't have to pay through the nose to buy one off ebay

**Commander Cain**

While I live too far away to go to the Open Day it is still very exciting. FW actually do previews! Wonder what the event-only model will be?

Edit: Tickets are also affordable. 9 pounds? (assuming you take part in the raffle) No wonder it sells out fast!

**gianlucafiorentini123**

The HH doesn't get as much attention as you'd think due the HH weekender. Cant wait to see the event models though.

Hi,

Thank you for your email. The latest rules for the Mieotic spore and Stone Crusher Carnifexes are in Imperial Armour Volume 4. This edition has not yet been updated to the current edition of Warhammer 40,000 or the latest Tyrnaid Codex. As noted in Imperial armour Apocalypse Malanthropes are not Monstrous Creatures.

Hi there.

There is no current FAQ but we will be updating the rules for all of our Tyranid models in the near future.

It's all about asking nicely.

Now lets talk about what 'updating the rules for all of our Tyranid models' means.

*Cough* *Cough* Hive Tyrant, Shrike, Sky Slashers, Rippers *Cough*

I completely agree. That has always bugged me.

Ever notice that almost all the guns have eyes? It's because they are alive.

Tyranids have always had their guns separate from the main organism. It's a symbiotic system. The gun and the main organism are two different living creatures. Of course they are going to look 'held.' They are.

**aka_mythos**

If you look at a lot of tyranid weapons they are both a separate organize but also bonded to the larger tyranid host organism. It's not just slime and a hand but strands of tissue that connect them to each other. Some show this more than others but this FW piece is certainly not the least to do it.
