FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #32

The first Forge World European Open Day took place in Amsterdam last weekend and it was fantastic, and I know I wasn’t the only one who thought so! Thank you to everyone who made the trip to join us at Amsterdam. Everybody who came along got to speak to the Writers and Designers from the Forge World Studio, and plenty of you took the chance to get hold of some of the awesome new models available on the day, such as Archmagos Draykavac and the Triaros Armoured Conveyor.

The first Forge World European Open Day drew in hobbyists from across Europe and beyond.

It won’t be too long until you get the opportunity again to chat with members of the Forge World Studio and see what they’ve been up to, this time in the UK at Warhammer Fest. The Forge World Writers and Designers will be there in force showing off their latest work, plus we’ll have a load of new products for you to buy at the event too.

Edgar Skomorowski discussed his latest designs at the European Open Day.

Speaking of products that will be available at Warhammer Fest, we expect to be launching our new Solar Auxilia range over that weekend. These Imperial army troops for the Horus Heresy, designed by Edgar Skomorowski, will be on sale for the first time ever, along with other units for this new faction! We're sure this new range is going to be incredibly popular so if you want to be one of the first people in the world to get your hands on them grab a ticket for Warhammer Fest today!

Troops for the Solar Auxilia Lasrifle Section.

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

Chris.

Someone posted pics of a new Imperial Fist contemptor dread on Facebook, were there anymore new Fist stuff displayed?

Really?! Got a link to the facebook page? Imperial Fists contemptor would be really neat!

i agree with you about wanting that link, i just hope it's not a butchered contemptor

**BrookM**

Still waiting for those Knight-Castigator rules myself.

**Hulksmash**

yeah, me too. I'm tempted to get 1-2 for my Knight house but I need those rules

**Alpharius**

I looked, but could not find.

Anyone have a link to the Imperial Fist Contemptor pic that was mentioned?

**Snrub**

Most def gonna need some of those Imperial Army soldiers. They'd make perfect storm troopers.

I searched google and some of the usual rumor spots and couldnt find anything. Im interested to see what it looks like too.

**Davespil**

Would love to see the new knights released Friday with all of their rules and the Castigator's rules as well. But it will probably be another contemptor. Apparently you can't have too many of those...

**Dinamarth**

For Dorn!

Here you go;

**Theophony**

Can't tell if that's the black Templar cross on its right ankle or not. But thanks for the pic

**gianlucafiorentini123**

I like it, not too over the top like some of them.

It probably is- the Black Templars cross was originally a Veterans honour in the Imperial Fists Legion. The images of Imperial Fists in Book 3, particularly the Terminators, have several on them.

I like the Contemptor, fits in with the IF torso upgrades nicely.

It's 2 swords crossed together.

**Fireball**

I am really looking forward to paint my first Imperial Fists when their special units come out, but I am also afraid of that damned yellow paint ... it might take a few test miniatures to come up with acceptable results.

**sockwithaticket**

I think we're all forgetting the most important question:

What creature's face does does the head space resemble when the helmet's removed?

I see a fish.

On a more serious note I can't believe this pic has only surfaced now, thank you Dinamarth. This is definitely one of the best Contemptors and beats other recent efforts with ease. It has enough bling and iconography that you know who it belongs to and to make it look like a venerable warmachine, then it stops.

Interesting that it has the Imperial Raptor on one knee. Are they making that a primarily Fists thing The only other example of that iconography I can think of so far is one of the Fists upgrade torsos. Also are those little castles either side of the (very cool looking) head?

I agree that it has a good amount of iconography without being obnoxious. Its going to look great in blue with a big red fist. Thank you for posting the pic. I really did look everywhere for it.

The raptor's head and/or crossed thunderbolts are the campagnmarkings of the Unification Wars, marking the wearer as a veteran of the wars on Terra and the following pacification of the Sol system.

Yep, but the only representation of it on actual miniatures thus far is seen on IF models/parts. Unless I'm mistaken?

There are thunderbolts on some of the generic armour sets, they're using them more on the IF models as the IF have a closer relationship to Terra in the fluff than most of the other legions so it's probably just a nod to that.

I've just realised that I've sawn that volkite leman russ turret before.

You can even see one of the traitors marines burning in his own armor, which is described as the effect of volkite weaponry.

**Haighus**

Those are Leman Russ Executioners, with a plasma cannon armament. The main character in the book is the tank commander of one. The fire is from plasma igniting the area I think. It is in the aftermath of a virus bomb attack that was not ignited into a firestorm from space, so the atmosphere itself is flammable.

**timd**

Anyone have any idea what that transport/APV vehicle on the right is? Unreleased legion vehicle?

The orange ray gun muzzle flash is fun too...

On the over the top Contemptors comment:

The DG, WE, and EC dreads are amazing
The sons of horus one I could give or take.
Honestly the Night Lords one looks hideous.

**Haighus**

On the far right? It is a Legion Spartan I think. The Orange ray gun muzzle flash is actually a volkite weapon, if you look closely (this image is my computer desktop, so I've studied it pretty hard...).

Ah, I see now. Its coming over a crest, so is at an odd angle.

**Davespil**

What is the Solar Auxilia, 30K IG?
