Subject: Re:Forgeworld 2014 News & Rumours - p#111 Dimachaeron now on sale
In the unspeakably early hours of this morning Paul, whose Ultramarines army I showed you a few weeks ago, and myself started on our journey to Gen Con 2014 in Indianapolis. By the time you’re reading this, I intend to be lightly snoring at 30,000ft, building up my reserves of energy for this awesome event!
An artist’s impression of our early morning take-off.
With Gen Con itself being a fantastic event and us being there with our latest and greatest models, we thought the only thing we could do to make it better was to make sure we brought along something particularly stunning. With that in mind, one of the new models you’ll be able to get hold of will be Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders Legion, before he goes on general release.
Vulkan, the Lord of the XVIIIth Legion.
The events calendar is pretty full over the coming months, but for me Warhammer Fest in October can’t come soon enough. After hearing some of what will be happening at the demonstration pods, I’m already bartering for time off over the weekend so I can get down to the How to Paint Special Effects pod. I’ve been stocking up on Weathering Powders already and I’ll be looking for advice on making my Astra Militarum look battle-scarred and weathered. Hopefully, I’ll see you there!
That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

He's certainly a fan!
And yeah, there's still a lot wrong with that Tyranid beastie, from every angle.
hahahahahaha
well, what can i say, that was the first angle i saw where i liked the sculpt...
i even shocked myself with that one...
as far as "Rex non potest peccare.", not so much...
i just don't like to make negative posts, so only comment when i have something positive to say...
there are enough people who make themselves look like jerks on the forums everyday...
honestly, i am just as baffled by a lot of GW's recent moves, but that doesn't change the fact that i love painting Space Marines more than any other sculpts...
i own minis from almost every company on the market, and they sit in bags gathering dust, while i carry on painting Marines...
the heart wants what it wants...
now bring me Vulkan!!!
The Tyranid beastie looks just fine thanks ( in my opinion ) . Who knows what the biomechanics properties are of tyranid flesh are for this particular biomorph ... looks spindly to you , could be hyper elastic / massively strong internally . I will be picking one up .
God, if there is *anything* I've ever truly wanted from FW, it's THAT knight. But almost $300 is super hefty price...hmm...
I wish more than anything FW would bring back Epic. I'd love to build some knights but I'm not too keen on playing them in 40k (especially since I haven't gone on to 7th as it is). Knights with some similar sort of quality at 15mm would sell like hotcakes.

You see, just by adding that apostrophe I now can't think of them without thinking they are a 1950 singer and band combo called "Val and the Gorbacks".
Looks like Vulkan may be my first Primarch. I was waiting for the Khan and Alpharius, but I've always liked the Sallies. Just a small force, what could go wrong?
Edit - here's the making of Vid:

I can only encourage you ... I am currently painting my first Salamanders ever (the Pyroclasts) and have such fun with it, that I will add some Firedrakes and Vulkan as well
I love the dragon head shoulder guard and his cloak. Excellent.
Am less convinced of the hammer and the way the left arm/hand is posed.
The skintone is also pretty poor imho.

If you saw last week’s bulletin, you’ll know that I was flying off to Gen Con 2014 in Indianapolis. As you’re reading this, I’ve just started the long trip home, probably snoring again, a convention like Gen Con can really take it out of you!
With a Space Marine watching over the lines, order was maintained at the Forge World stand.
Gen Con is a truly massive event and it was great to meet so many of you over the four days, finding out what you love about your hobby. Working with the fantastic US Games Workshop team, we’ve helped a staggering number of hobbyists find loads of awesome Forge World models to add to their armies.
Sometimes a single Space Marine isn't enough.
Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders, was incredibly popular and our stocks didn’t last past the first morning. Imperial Armour Volume Four – Second Edition: The Anphelion Project and the Imperial Navigator, one of our Event Only models, quickly followed suit, flying off the shelves by the end of the first day. If you’re going to Warhammer Fest or the Forge World European Open Day, it’s definitely worth getting in touch with Forge World Customer Services to place a reservation order, so you don’t miss out on the day!
Speaking of Vulkan, if you want to see more of the Lord of the Salamanders, make sure you check out our latest video.

Saw some other pictures of the gentleman and son ( ...? ...) on FB etc, most impressive bit of work.

I knew the Thanatar was big but I thought the dodecahedron or whatever it is was like knight sized.
