Charowhatnow? That thing looks like an ogryn with a very impractical chainsaw-paw.

"Charonites are biochemically and cybernetically altered Ogryn abhumans, mutilated in mind and body and left entirely creatures of brute obedience and drug-induced frenzy by remote control" - from Conquest.

You bitch at everything in this thread don't you?

Looks like a bunch of buzz saws. Seems far more practical than the usual chainsaws.

Nah, I actually like a lot of stuff FW does, but they rarely fail to include some marvel of engineering that is sure to attract my attention.
I think the new sculpt would go great with the chaosy ogryns for the lost and the damned. With the bigger models you want as much uniqueness as possible and I think they only have like 3 or 4 chaos-ogryn sculpts so far.

Everyone knows that 38,000 years from now running at each other with single handed chainsaws instead of just shooting with your other weapon is the very definition of practical.

**Red Corsair**

As much as I like that model, all I see are the inevitable defects and nightmare of cleaning up the casting between those saw blades

There is no way the production copies pull that clean.

**Desubot**

What a gnarly backscratcher.

**scottmmmm**

That Ogryn looks a lot like a BioShock Big Daddy.

Not that I'm complaining - I really like it. Maybe it's just a side effect of the Solar Auxilia aesthetic...

**BrookM**

Those Ogryn are wearing void suits after all.

**gianlucafiorentini123**

Love it will definitely get one for my CSM army, should fit in well with there Khorne Ogres.

That's my fear as well. You'd end up with a jumbled mess of miscast resin... ick!

Maybe each blade is separate and you glue them in?

**BrookM**

Who knows? I feared that the Solar Auxilia would be a miscast clusterfeth due to all those hoses and pipes they sport, but they turned out just fine.

Charowhatnow? That thing looks like an Ork conversion waiting to happen.

Fixed that for you.

**Darth Bob**

Oooooh.

I have so many unassembled/unpainted models. I'm trying to stick to my New Years resolution to finish assembling/painting them before buying new stuff but these Forge World releases and teases are making it really hard. I've gotta finish them before that Ogryn comes out!

*quickly runs to superglue and paint*

**Koppo**

You'll have to be quick, I think they are out this weekend.

**BrookM**

I think we'll be seeing the Stormhammer first before a squad of these guys.

Depends on if the bulletin means they'll have previews this weekend of if the squad is available for (pre)-purchase.

As a hobbyist, it’s always exciting to walk through the Forge World Studio and see the great new models being worked on and talk to the designers about their projects. With the Horus Heresy Weekender coming up, there are more models than ever being finished and put into production. The Weekender will be a great chance for those of you attending to see these new models first and speak to their designers. One beautiful brute of a model caught my eye this week, and I hear that he and his squad will be ready in time for the event. Take a look

**e.earnshaw**

Those ogryns look nasty (in a good way) shame if i go buy them at warhammer world the factory wont be open and it will be posted minus cost.

**Haighus**

Kastorel-Novem is going out of stock, first I've heard of it. Are we looking at a 2nd Edition in the near future?

**BrookM**

Interesting, here's hoping that 2nd edition will have an updated Elysian army list.

**Valkyrie**

**Fireball**

Woohoo ... of course Pollux stand on top of an Iron Warriors banner. Really look forward getting his model as I am currently completing my first unit of Imperial Fists!

**ImAGeek**

I love that Mhara Gal Dread. Actually I pretty much love it all, but boy do the WB seem appealing.

Man cant wait.

to bad i cant go to these things :/

**Haighus**

Wow, the Solar Auxillia REALLY can't get enough multilasers, I think CS Goto has found his dream army...
That is all looking awesome. I know the Stormhammer isn't the same as the original Epic model, but it still looks damn nice, and Polux is brilliant.
Those Scyllax are really cool, possibly Dark Mech?

I know it's not much to go on, but 'Guardian-Automata' doesn't sound very Dark Mech.

**BrookM**

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh gak, so happy right now!

**whitetornado**

The image for the reprint of the Vraks campaign was left out.

In the image it simply shows the book title as "The Siege of Vraks" and shows artwork from the third volume. I guess all the volumes been combined. Thick book.
