Yarly. Even if I didn't have the skill to duplicate it, I kinda want to still know how they did it.

You know I was just thinking that FW hadn't made enough Contemptor kits.

That Alpha Legion model is gorgeous, it misses something though.. Where are the moustache and hat?

And the optional baby to mount on its forehead.

It's OK everybody!

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that there is still time to order FW stuff for Christmas delivery!

Just thought I'd let everyne know, because it isn't like FW are sending out multiple emails a day to tell everyone.

Oh, pfft! Forget that. I want the important information: How many Ltd. Ed. Conquests have they got left in stock???

Wait, wait, wait. Vanus? I don't think Vanus assassins ever see the field of battle. They're information warriors.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.

Sorry about the capital letters, just copy and pasted from the email they had sent me

I find it a bit odd they posted painting guides for the legions in the first book, but none of the others, but will happily let you know how they painted them (though in ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS) via email.

I suspect mother hen GW didn't like the idea of free painting schemes while they charge $5 for one model's painting guide.

Especially free painting guides using other brands of paint!

Yeah I think this will be the main reason.

THERE ARE NO OTHER BRANDS!

THANK

So, masterclass referencing a zillion 3rd party goodies didn't happen either?

I have no idea what your talking about, forge world only use gw paints and washes, you must have imagined it when your crops were failing and all the first born died, now move along before I release the frogs

Just got my Veletaris Storm Section, oh my days, that's some good quality resin, how I missed this with FW.

Nice to see that CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT finally got that job in FW customer service.

Thanks for the info, SoT

The next masterclass book is Horus Heresy themed.

Yeah, I want to see that. Reading "Legion" left me thinking that I could do Alpha Legion as well as Salamanders in 30k, while I wait for the Thousand Sons.



Edit to add:

That was quick. It IS a lovely scheme, although I also want to do up some test schemes in the more purplish armor before I make a final decision.

Just spotted this. In case you were wondering if Warhammer Forge were going to continue, it's looking ever more doubtful:



Up for £32 though if you want a bargin...

Well if they are discontinuing the book, I hope they have the courtesy to put the rules up in their downloads section.

Anyone else feeling rather harassed by the sheer volume of emails coming from FW the last few days??? I love my Forge World and enjoy the email updates butttttt it's a little bit much at the moment, my order went in some time ago!

My email inbox is 50% Forgeworld.

Yeah, I posted to similar effect a few days ago.

There's a fine line between keeping yourself in your customers thoughts, and coming off a little desperate.

Excuse me, sir, have your heard of your Lord and Savior, Contemptor?

OMG! Fewer than 50 HH Vol 4's remain!

Everybody panic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you know it's ?INFANTRY TUESDAY!!!!

You know that well maintained weekly tradition!

I think we've more or less reached the end of the line for the spam, seeing as aside from the UK, ROW can now no longer reliably order in time for Christmas.

Forge world sent me fourteen emails this month, and it's 17th today (I'm sure I'll get #15 later). What a disgusting business practice, I used to quite like them, didn't buy much but nice pics. I certainly won't be buying anything in the future, and I hope to God my unsub goes through before the next dozen mails in the dozen days left of 2014.

Most melodramatic reaction to the least inconvenient inconvenience of the modern world, and I didn't even have to open up facebook.

Really? That little vent was something remarkable to you? :s

He never said it was remarkable. He said it was melodramatic. And he's right. You sound like a child.

I don't really get how it's a disgusting business practice. They're just trying to keep their fanbase up to date with what's going on. Sure it might be a little inconvenient to have to keep sifting through or deleting emails (maybe even a little annoying after a while). But disgusting? That's a bit harsh.

I'm annoyed that they've sent me an email every day of this month trying to sell me stuff. I think equating my annoyance with childishness is 'a bit harsh', and I'd also define the most melodramatic reaction to anything, trivial or consequential, as remarkable, but you're free to disagree. Replace 'disgusting' with 'shoddy as feth' if you like, I'm still disgusted though.

I can see how it would be a bit annoying, but then my email conveniently sorts promotional emails into a different inbox. Maybe just using available tech is the solution, I haven't been bothered by the email spam at all, except initially being a little disappointed by the lack of actual content waaay back when they started. IMO, it is worth a couple of seconds to glance at my promotional inbox and see if anything is interesting to read, to get the occasional awesome emails with a Primarch or something in.
