It's the Bare heads I'm excited about from these recent releases! I enjoy painting as many different ones as I can and now there's at least 4 newbies for me to try my hand at! gonna have to trawl ebay soon I think! :-)

**gianlucafiorentini123**

Really liking the Salamander stuff those helmets are the only ones which feel like they're worth it for me, the bare headed one is probably one of the best faces FW have produced.

**Medium of Death**

Seems to be a newer trend to scale the bare heads with the helmets so we actually get proportioned (kind of) marines.

Still waiting on those World Eater torsos...

**Slinky**

Salamander torsos are lovely, and so is the contemptor.

Very tempting to add one of those big bad boys to my force.

**sockwithaticket**

Not sure about the designs on the Mk. IV heads, but everything else looks spiffy.

**Commander_Farsight**

Do we have any news or rumors on the new IA book, or anything Orks?

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #22

Stalking through the Forge World Studio this week, I was stopped in my tracks at the sight of a terrifying creature. Sculpted by Trish Carden, who recently created the imposing Dread Saurian, this new biological horror looks as if it’s about ready to cause some carnage on the battlefield.

Soon your army might be facing these jaws, or will they be tearing into your foes?

I’ve also spent some time in the Citadel Miniatures Hall at Warhammer World, where there are some awe-inspiring models and armies on display. The Ork collection is fantastic and includes plenty of Forge World models such as the Dread Mob Dreads and the Battlewagon with Lifta-Droppa. There are even dioramas from the Imperial Armour Model Masterclass books and a whole host of Forge World units and characters.

Just a small selection of the Ork forces on display.

If you’re visiting Warhammer World, maybe for the Warhammer 40,000 Open Day on Sunday 20th July, it’s well worth taking some time to visit the Citadel Miniatures Hall. You'll be able to see a fantastic range of Forge World models up close including the latest from the Salamanders and Iron Hands Legions. Check out the Warhammer World website for opening hours and details.

You can see the models painted by the Forge World Studio up close.

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

Chris.

**Bloodhorror**

Oooo

That bodes well for my Hive Fleet then

!

**sing your life**

That Tyranid things looks like it's going to be really big, though I don't have anything to compare it to so I don't really know.

**Medium of Death**

Interested in that big beast but from the previous preview pictures we haven't seen the most interesting part. Looking forward to seeing the torso and get and idea of the final size of the monster. I'm thinking it must be around Knight size if I'm recalling the other pictures correctly.

**Bloodhorror**

Anyone remember its proper name?

**Medium of Death**

I don't think it has a name. Looking at the older pictures it just says "Mock Up" so unless they've just lost the will to live I think the official name is yet to be revealed...

I propose Gribble Beast 9000 as a stand in until we know more.

**Bloodhorror**

Worry not!

I found it

This baby is called a Dimachaeron

**sing your life**

I though it was the "Omnonomononomifex"

**Koppo**

Seems the name is a reference to a type a gladiator that fought with two curved swords:

**Ifurita**

Nom-nom-nom-ivore?

Makes sense...that thing had a giant honking pair of scything talons being sculpted alongside it.

**Medium of Death**

Where did you find the name for his new monstrous beastie? I demand insight into your sleuthing skills, Bloodhorror!

**Sinful Hero**

It's hidden deep within this very thread!(unfortunately Reds8n didn't post it, and I can't remember who did or you could filter for it)

**Azreal13**

The only place where it is mentioned by name on Dakka is in this exchange here..

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/2610/572843.page#6739418

Some other talk about new FW Nids too, which may have been overlooked, lurking in the Tactics forum.

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah but the name has been around since the WiP was first shown during the Open day.

**STC_LogisEngine**

Oh well, 'nids can use a tad of love from the resin-crack-factory, I guess. Now, where the fudge is that Alpha Legion A4 transfer sheet and etched brass? I kind of need those you know.

Sculpt away FW! Those Laernean Terminators are not going to make themselves.

**angelofvengeance**

So the Salamanders stuff we saw a couple of updates back is now up on Forgeworld...
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff
Salamander Contemptor, Torso and heads

**STC_LogisEngine**

You are 4 days behind Alpharius (mod) with that update mate.

**Alpharius**

Ha - you know how the Legion works after all, right?

I'm OK with extra updates - because I know we all miss stuff sometimes!

And I want to know when the Alpha Legion stuff hits, ASAP!

**angelofvengeance**

I meant for pre order lol.

**H.B.M.C.**

The upgrade kits are awesome, though I'm pretty sure that the resin moustaches will break off in the bag. The helmets that have the babies stapled to them should be ok, even with FW's bad QA.

**STC_LogisEngine**

Resin moustaches and stapled babies?!

...

**Medium of Death**

It's quite annoying that FW are taking so long to get the basics out for each Legion.

Hopefully all those covered in the first 3 books will have all their basic kits sooner rather than later. I'd be surprised if we don't see Iron Warrior and Alpha Legion parts soon.

And with the release of that model expect the release of Ia4 update. Which is basically codex Red Scorpions.
