1-3 days. If you're worried call them and get the tracking number.

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

Forgeworld is better than GW Prime because they've carved that niche out for themselves. Much like Toyota launching Lexus, Honda launching Acura, and Nissan creating Ifiniti, GW Prime built a premium product division marked by vastly improved customer service and customer relations, reduced availability, massively improved production value in their printed products, and a premium price point.

Unfortunately, Forgeworld is becoming a victim of its own success. Their business is growing faster than they can scale up production and the quality of some products (like every Stormeagle and Fire Raptor and Spartan) isn't what it should be. However, they're still extremely eager to make the mistakes right when it comes to sending replacement parts.

Have you had the shipping email from FW yet? Normally next day for me once I have the shipping notice. FW can take a few days to pack the order.

Anybody thinking FW is bad currently they are lightning fast compared to how they were a few years ago when Apoc first launched, they took months to ship nearly all orders as they were completely swamped.

Thanks, got the email this morning it's just that I'll be going away for a few days on Thursday and wanted to know if it would be there before I left.

7-14 days, not really sure this is the right place for that question though.

They do heavy bolter, las cannon and multi melta razorback turrets, I think they used to do an assault cannon one as well, I dont remember there being a las plas one, although I could be wrong.

There was a metal one for the older style Rhino/Razorbacks. I have one, but haven't painted it, yet.

That's it!

I actually quite liked that turret. Wish they'd not killed it off!

My Thanatar arrived today, smaller than I was expecting, fraction smaller than a Mega Dread, which is a fair bit smaller than a Knight.

Nice kit to put together although the ammo belts are far too small, they will only reach with the arms in a few positions no matter how much you heat and reshape them. This is unlike the Castellax whose ammo belts are proportionally much longer and connect two mostly fixed points...

Excuse the build quality, I've greenstuffing to do tonight on this lot.

You might want to have a look at Zinge's stuff, they do some excellent flexible resin ammo belts. http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_70

ooh ta, I'll get my tape measure out.

Is it me or does it look like the new knight will solely be a weapons platform with no cc weapons?

It does look that way. A Vulcan mega-bolter and perhaps choice of battle cannon or melts weapon in other. It would fill a spot nicely in a knight army.

Thats what I thought also but in an earlier bulletin on the vulcan megabolter arm the knight had a flamer of some sort. So maybe its an anti infantry knight or they will be making multiple weapons kinda like the titans

Wow. It feels like a dream!

The new knight has a chain fist on the other arm. google forgeworld imperial knight and you will find images of a few varients

Chances are this will be held at the RAI and I'm not sure what they're planning on doing here, unless they bring along event-only models or something.

What are the event-only models for this year by the way?

Event only models.

Navigator looks fun, but I loathe to think of the line to their booth and having to face the disappointment of the Ebay crowd snatching up multiple models first.

The Vulcan has a big Chainfist, the Flamer dude has a Sword.

Ah figures. So does that take care of the last two variants of knights?

If they don't have it they'll normally ship it to you for free.

When FW was at GenCon, I went day 2 to their booth as the line was shorter, and they still had tons of the exclusive books and minis for sale.

That's no guarantee that they will at a GW specific even like Open Day, but there you go.

FW is supposed to be really good about making it so that the 'EBay crowd" get picked up on very quickly and have their sales curtailed.

We can only hope, though Europe isn't exactly the UK or the US.
