FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #27

Imperial Knights are some of the coolest models around. I’ve shown you some fantastically painted Knight-Lancers over the past few weeks and even some sneak peeks of the Knight-Castigator, which a lucky few of you got hold of as a pre-release at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Day. This week I caught sight of a House Terryn upgrade set Keith Robertson has been working on for the Imperial Knight.

Just a few parts of the Imperial Knight upgrade set.

In honour of the new Codex: Orks, Will Hayes, who recently designed the Thanatar Siege-automata, has dusted off his Speed Freeks army. The core of his force are Nob Warbikes led by a Warboss on Warbike. The Warboss’ huge, jet-powered bike makes a great Warboss Gazbag's Blitzbike. Will has used everything you get in the Ork Waaagh-Bikerz bundle, along with spare parts from plastic Ork kits to make his bikers truly individual.

Will’s Ork Speed Freeks on the rampage!

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.**

Now that's a good idea - heraldry options for Knights. Well done FW.

**StraightSilver**

Have to admit the House Terryn upgrade bits are looking rather gorgeous. Shame i have already painted my House Terryn Knight but I guess i could always get another one... lol.

**angelofvengeance**

Bling-tastic

. Can't wait to see what else they come up with.

**Ouze**

That really shows where their priories are, as always: here's some cool new stuff for imperials and also some ork kits from 2008.

**Azreal13**

So, pauldrons, plastron, I'm guessing greaves as well and shield for the Knight, plus hatch.

£30?

**blaktoof**

Ahh FW, bringing more variety to the imperials and occasionally throwing scraps to the xenos so theres sometimes a new model for all the imperials to kill, gotta love you guys.

Bit optimistic there aren't you? Probably £40-50

**Shandara**

Large, thin, curved planes of resin. FW's forte for sure.

It's difficult to see in the picture, but I assume it is 2 pauldrons, a resin breastplate, hatch and maybe the ion shield?

**MajorStoffer**

I do wish FW would get around to releasing some of the character models they've been missing since, well, forever.

Major Durras for D-99, Drop Commissars, the Necron characters for IA12, etc

Only ones which don't really matter are the Badab War ones, as Space Marine captains are pretty easy to comeby and kitbash to fit the description. The really unique ones have been covered.

**Kanluwen**

Major Durras wasn't a character for IA4 before the revamp of the book.

Seems you're right, he's just a generic inquisition acolyte with specific gear. Still, I hope he gets a model now that he's all special (and damned near impossible to make out of the Elysian range, which has been stuck about 75% finished for some time) and doesn't languish with the rest. The heresy stuff seems to be dominating the character sculptors, and personnally, wouldn't they want to do something other than power armour at some point as a break?

**Kanluwen**

Preaching to the choir.

I wanted to see something for the Wood Elves(and Dark Elves!) come out of Warhammer Forge, some new Guard stuff, some new Dark Angels stuff, etc.

**WrentheFaceless**

Those are some fancy shoulder pads

**BrookM**

I wouldn't count on FW continuing the Elysian range, this is just a revamp of an aging list.

If you want your own Major Durra, you'll have to convert one:

Spoiler:

**Haighus**

Character models for the Badab war would be nice too, even if they can be easily converted, or at least art of what they should look like for conversion ideas. Unfortunately, I don't think they would sell enough of the Badab characters to make it worthwhile. Which is possibly why they have stopped making them really. Is just Culln, Tyberos, Huron and the Minotaurs afaik.
There is also the Alpha Legion character and Dark Angels Chaplain (Belphegor?) from the Vraks books which could do with models. The Alpha guy in particular is pretty nasty and would be a cool model. He is possessed, so I think he could be expected to look very good after the stand-out Gal Vorbak.

That looks good BrookM, maybe could do with extending the handle to make it 2-handed, being a heavy chainsword. Mostly for WYSIWYG purposes.

**spiralingcadaver**

IIRC Cullin was out for a while before Badab anyways, since he was captain before, so barely counts.

Also, there's valthex or whatever the AC master of the forge was named (other than cap'n jumpropes)

**whalemusic360**

There is also the Salamanders and Howling Griffons SC dreads. The HG one was pre existing though, it's just the Chaplain Dread.

Wasn't Culln in the Vraks books? Might be why he's been around longer than the Badab ones.

Also, I want those pads, so bad. I don't even LIKE house Terryn and those things make me want to repaint my knight.

The Salamanders one has already been made as well, it's here:

Wood and dark elves? El..dar? Those xenos have models! Warhammer forge? Oh you must mean mechanicum, they are getting more models too.

All fw questions begin and end with "we only produce models that can be used for the heresy era"

He was a sergeant on Vraks (noted as being destined for greatness), a captain on Anphelion Beta and a chapter master during the Badab Wars, he's got three variants.

**MajorStoffer**

I was also reminded today that Bran Redmaw never got a model, you know, the actual werewolf SW captain they had in IA11. The funniest thing is, he was the only new Power Armoured thing in that book, and he's one of the only things from IA11 without a model.

FW breaks all the rules.

**Snrub**

Wasn't there photos of a Bran Redmaw model at one the last fw open days?

**BrookM**

*boop*

**grefven**

Seriously, if you are going to strike someone with an axe (or any kind of two-handed weapon for that matter), the knuckles need to be turned the same way. This is a failed pose imo. :/

I think it's just to show he's charging mate not actually about to strike somebody.

Yeah, I was saying that those exist, not that they need models.

**kronk**

Where are my MKIII Imperial Fists shoulder pads and my Templar Brethren kits?! Also, Sigismund! Also, also: DORN!

Edit: I like Branmaw Redfist, though.

I'd be more concerned about his completely squared off axe head rather then his hand positioning.
