Two sets of feet, standing and walking I think. I believe at least some of the Contemptor models have also had 4 feet..

**STC_LogisEngine**

the contemptors come with 2 sets of feet, walking and running, yes.

**Bloodhorror**

As did the Castellax for that matter

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #23

Not so long ago I showed you the Mechanicum messenger bag, and if you were at the Horus Heresy Weekender you may already have one yourself. This week I got my first look at the next design and I hear it’ll be on sale at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Day. It’s perfect for those of you who have rejected the false emperor, though it’s not only Horus Heresy books it can hold.

The new messenger bag can carry your Imperial Armour books with plenty of room to spare.

In the Forge World office, our web expert Paul Mooney is known as a true son of Macragge. Paul has been painting Ultramarines for nearly five years. His army features a Caestus Assault Ram and Sicaran Battle Tank, along with units including a Tactical Support Squad with Volkite Calivers and a Command Squad converted using the MkII Power Weapons Set.

A small task force from Paul’s army.

Paul also has a contingent of walkers, including a MkIV Dreadnought and a Relic Contemptor Dreadnought. As with all his vehicles, he has used etched brass and Ultramarines icons to great effect. Paul is planning on adding Scimitar Jetbikes and a squad of Terminators next, though he’s undecided on whether they’ll be in Cataphractii or Tartaros pattern armour. Keep an eye on this bulletin for updates on Paul’s army in the future.

Paul’s Ultramarines Legion continues to grow.

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

Chris.

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

This is the point where I ask why his Ultramarine Legion army has white-headed Marines? Unless something's changed, the white helmets for veterans was done in respect of the 1st Company after the Battle of Macragge? They shouldn't have them during the Horus Heresy.

**Paradigm**

I'm pretty sure the white helmets for Ultramarine Vets is part of the original heraldic scheme, rather than something later adopted. (I may be wrong, though).

I think there were some limited Mk VII parts around towards the end of the HH and just after, so it's not unreasonable that command elements might have them.

**reds8n**

That looks like a new cover for the revised IA 4 yes ?

Old/current one

**Melcavuk**

Yup, definately looks to be a different cover.

**zedmeister**

(Removing original reply as I was talking rubbish)

Ooo good spot. Secret teaser in otherwise dull news post!

**Melcavuk**

Which doesnt look the same as:

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

Well spotted.

And it makes sense to give it a new cover. After all, the Trygon is now a regular plastic GW mini, not a FW one.

Yeah, just had a look through my copy of Insignium Astartes, and white helms for Veterans just seems to be the Ultramarines norm. Nothing mentioned about Macragge.

Mk VII was developed by the end of the Heresy, and the arm pieces look almost identical to Mk 4 arms anyway, so it could very easily just be an Artificer suit, or late Heresy. Seeing as Legion Command squads come with artificer armour, I would just say it is a unique, up-armoured version of Mk 4.

**sing your life**

That Assault Ram in the bulletin is really nicely painted, but I still think it's a horrid sculpt.

**Medium of Death**

Yeah, I don't recall the Ultramarines having White in their armour during the Heresy. I always thought it was Blue and Yellow, perhaps retconned to Gold now.

It looks like it's the new big beasty on the cover. Hopefully the next Bulletin will be the reveal.

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

The yellow-to-gold got added in as Sicarius' personal interpretation of the Codex. I think they just wanted to use something better than bright yellow, but it's nice that they came up with an in-universe explanation.

**Brother Weasel**

Yellow and gold are the same in heraldry

**Medium of Death**

I like this piece of art that uses both yellow and gold.

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

And I hope we get those helmets for the Ultramarines.

Me too- they're ace! Useful for Imperial Fists too

**Medium of Death**

Hopefully when we start to see the Legion MK.V & VI armours we'll see those helmets. I'm hoping the Legion Heresy armour is a tad more varied than the current standard Heresy armour.

Noticed that the Knight Lancer isn't under the Heresy section. Thought it might have been in with Mechanicum. Apparently not.

Also, does anybody know where the WIP pictures of something like the bellow image are? I've looked through the thread and can't find them. IIRC the rider of the plinth has a horse skull face mask.

Spoiler:

Well that's a cerastus and a thanatar ordered.

Once you get the legs and torsos assembled, could you post a side by side pic of them together?

That's the Magos Prime on an Abeyant. They showed it at the weekender, about 20 pages ago, but I don't know if there are WIPs of it.

**Medium of Death**

Aha! Thanks for the title. A quick google search and I've found them.

Reposting to save my sanity.

**pax_imperialis**

is there an eta on perturabo? arrrrghhh why are you so much cooler than gw forgeworld? why?

**Fireball**

Torsos for Imperial Fists and World Eaters as well as two new Razorback turrets are now available for pre-order ...

**Kanluwen**

Imperial Fist Torsos

World Eaters Torsos

Razorback Lascannon and Plasma Gun Turret

Razorback Assault Cannon Turret

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

FW finally jumps on the Razorback turret bandwagon. What's next? Hydra turrets and greatcoat Orks?

**Kanluwen**

I'm really surprised we're seeing a new Plasma/Lascannon turret. I didn't even realize the old one had vanished.

**angelofvengeance**

Loving the Imperial fist legion torsos. Nice and blingtastic. Not sure about the fist crotchplate lol.

Might have to get a Razorback Lascannon/twin plasma and Twin assault cannons turret. Looks better than using a Land Raider!

**whalemusic360**

There was an old Las/Plas turret?
