This was part one of the weekender too so there'll be more stuff on it next week, probably some model photos.

It's pretty bad when these prices are great, compared to going down to your local game store and picking up a box of tac space marines, or base troopers, or a tank or two.

Great looking stuff though, they have really come a long way.

I know they took pictures of all of that cause I watched them do it, but they never seem to use them for anything. Wasted opportunity, again.

They said themselves the Bulletin themselves there will be pictures of the painting competition

Maybe they could have a gallery section on their site.

They do apparently:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/HH_Weekender_2014.html
This is last years, I expect next years to appear soon.
Wasn't easy to find though, there is a page somewhere with past FW painting competition winners, can't seem to find it. They may have removed it though.

EDIT: Found it: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/prevbos0309.html
There are quite a few galleries of old Games days and things on the FW sitemap, took me awhile to find this in them, so I don't doubt they will put up a new gallery for this event at some point.

honestly, I'm just bitter that the whole Ordo Reductor has to be the shattered remnants of the Isstvan atrocity.

I don't see why this is the case? The Tagmata list is easily capable of producing an Ordo Reductor list, and has more options for one than the Allied detachment in Book 1. It has the option for a Reductor Magos, as well as Reductor Techpriest covenants, Thallax for Troops, the Ursarax for Fast Attack, and the big siege-automata and the tank would make good Heavy Support. Myrmidons attach themselves to any Mechanicus forces they feel like for the most part, so they make sense to include too. The Land Raider is also included, but annoyingly requires you to own Book 1 for the rules.

it's ALL about the thallax man! if i use the taghmata list i can't have the 'ferrox' upgrade. i like the ferrox upgrade with heavy chain blades.
book two promised my list more units but i'm still waiting to see that fulfilled.

I didn't get chance to look at the model properly over the weekend, do we know if this model is much taller than a normal marine as he is meant to be much taller according to the books or am I misremembering?

Does not look much taller to me ...

It's a trick of perspective. The models aren't all on the same plane. The banner bearer is further back and looks smaller.

Does anyone know the pricing for the Mhara Gal Dreadnought? And a release date?

I've not bought anything 40k-related in ages, but this thing is very appealing for some reason.

Could sombody please tell me how they updated Hector Rex? Any changes in Stats, Cost and very important psychic powers.

I really like the way Forge World poses their models. I get sick and tired of GW squatting marines, and when they're standing upright, the models don't actually look that half bad.

It was available at the weekender so should be out within a few weeks. I dunno the price but if I had to guess around £40, maybe £45, cos you get the arms with it.

Think he was around £50.

Yeah that sounds about right, a Contemptor is £32 and 2 £9 arms, so that works out at £50.

New bundles, mainly Vraks themed but some of the HH ones are kinda tempting...

You know (and I feel stupid admitting it) I was almost about to ask how to tell which were the new bundles and which were the old.



Almost.



I figured it out though.

So am I being crazy or are some of these bundles a lot more expensive than just buying the individual items.

For example: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/CHAOS_RENEGADES/RENEGADE_QUAD_LAUNCHER_BATTERY.html

It's listed as £126 for three quad launchers and three crew sets, that's 3x£23 and 3x£12 which is £105, only noticed because it's one I actually want the bundle, looks like it's email time.

No, you're not being crazy. E-mail forgeworld. They'll either drop the bundle price or raise the price of the individual pieces...

Well the Krieg Grenadier bundles saves you 12 pounds. Someone miscalculated something somewhere.

Dropped them an email, shame there aren't more renegade bundles when they have pretty much the same options as the krieg bundles available to them. Though their automated reply is still banging on about the free shipping vouchers that expired two and a half weeks ago so not expecting a speedy response.

maybe you should've faxed em

Looking at those artillery bundles, I can't shake the feeling that my wallet will hate me during the coming months.

Well they responded rather quickly by increasing the bundle to four launchers and crew, not quite what I was expecting but it's certainly one solution.

The Rapier Laser Destroyer bundle is interesting, seeing how the crew models are ordinary Krieg guardsmen and not Engineers.

In IA-12, the crew are listed as Engineers (which gives the Rapier BS 4).

I've tried assembling rapiers with Engineer crewmen, the only useable miniature being one of the two mole launcher crewmen and it didn't look that great.

On my second attempt, I created crewmembers from the "Heavy Artillery Crew" kit. In this set, you have 3 upright miniatures, ideal for standing on the platform behind the console, and a selection of empty arms.

In my experience the "Heavy Artillery Crew" set is much better suited for creating the Rapier shooters, than the "Thudd Gun crew".

Ahh, but these aren't for the IA12 Assault Brigade, these are for Siege list in the new Vraks book

Yes precisely, that's what I was trying to get across.

The Rapier bundle seems to suggest that the Rapier Crew in Vraks book aren't Engineers, but Guardsmen with BS 3. Which does affect the functionality of the Rapier to a certain extent.

I'm primarily interested in the newest and most up to date Krieg list/"codex" and it doesn't matter much whether that means I'll be playing Siege or Assault Brigade, but it does incline me to compare the two, to see which parts of my current army I'm allowed to carry over, and which may no longer work, unless as allies.

I guess it suggests that either:

a) They didn't want to make an Engineer Squad + 5 Rapier Bundle, or
b) The Siege Regiment Rapiers are now crewed by ordinary korpsmen, which means that they should have BS3 and 5+ armour. Probably cheaper (30 points compared to IA13?).

Its strange, considering the current Krieg pdf Rapier has Engineers as crewmen

I wish the new basilisk bundle would return.

I'm not sure if I have ever seen a bundle come back.

If you mean the Solar Auxilia Basilisk / Medusa bundle, that one is still around.
