Interesting. Imperial Armour 11 is being sold off:

Not sure that 750 is a number you need to start sounding the alarm for; 500 perhaps.

How much time was there between when they did the big sale of Vraks and the redone version they just started selling at the weekender?

Agreed. Though the price is now £25. Not bad and it is a nice book. I suspect that we'll be see the remaining Imperial Armour books re-done as 2nd Editions and then... what I don't know?

A quick look at this thread shows IA5 sold out in November last year.

The Imperial Armour Vraks book deal was announced late last summer, if I remember correctly. I think I received my books in september/october.

Ah, thanks for the updates. So in about 6 months or so we should expect a new version of the book now on super sale in all likelihood (no guarantees though).

I doublechecked my mailbox and I ordered the Vraks book bundle in late August, a few weeks after the bundle was announced.

Don't worry. Forge World will no doubt send an update after every 50 they sell, so we'll get a warning about 500 copies eventually.

A thousand apologies if this has been shared before, but I just now got the rules for the two 30K Event Only models through the iPad app: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t0kninx4l489b6/Forge%20world%20Event%20Models%202015%20Rules.pdf?dl=0

edit.

They're also on the FW site as of today:

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

Just wanted to address this: the Rapier in the new Vraks book still has engineers as crew. So the bundle isn't strictly WYSIWYG, but someone probably thought that the artillery crew models work better than the engineers.

Not really surprising. All of the rules in it are obsolete so it doesn't make much sense to print new ones, and sales have probably slowed down enough that the extra stock is going to be around forever at full price. They might as well cut the price and see if people are willing to pay a reduced price for the fluff alone.

Getting the full badab set for 30 was nice, rules be darned.

Fun story about the Vraks bundle. Ordered it, but only book 1 arrived along with a note saying that they were out of books 2 and 3 and a credit for the missing books.
Couple of weeks later along comes a new package with all three books... but no new credit card charge. Whoo hoo!

Quite, the rules change every so often anyways, the fluff part stays the same throughout editions . I picked those up aswell, might even pick this up for the background. Don't play Sw or Eldar but these books usually are pretty good reads just in and of themselves and for 25 it's not a bad deal at all.

Just gonna leave this here, it's been discussed multiple times anyway:

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/STORMHAMMER.html

It is glorious.

8 fething multilasers?

Holy mother of pew

And all of them upgradeable to heavy bolters/flamers or lascannons. Frightening.

So they are selling of IA8, IA9/10 and IA11. I'd guess we'll see IA8 at the Warhmmer World reopening, IA9 & 10 later and then IA11 for Christmas? That only leaves IA12 needing a second edition?

I still don't like the Stormhammer, that flap over the front gun looks just as silly in real life.

Somewhere C.S. Goto is laughing at all of us.

Does IA12 even need a second edition? The DKoK stuff is 95% current with the new Vraks book, and most of the "obsolete" rules are all minor things like small changes in LRBT point costs. That's hardly worth reprinting a book for, unless the Necron stuff really needs it. A third edition of IA1 would do more to update obsolete IG rules than a second edition of IA12.

True, most of the Necron rules from IA12 that overlap with the codex refer you to the codex for the rules. Some of the Lords and the like could do with a minor tweak but nothig major.

That DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG SUBTERRANEAN ASSAULT SQUAD bundle is tempting me, saves 20 pounds for models I've always wanted yet have no real obvious use for, but dam I like the Engineer models and Hardes drill, look perfectly industrial and grim, Hope they have rules for them in an Imperial Army list in HH

Did anyone else think that the price seemed reasonable or has my interpretation of money become flawed?

I like it; shame i dont collect solar auxillia.

In my mind I still see the Baneblade as a ~£60 kit so when I saw it was £150 I quickly closed the web page (and ya know, I own a Brass Scorpion, and plenty of other FW items so I'm not that easily put off)

er, not sure your maths adds up there mate:

1 x drill @ £30
1 x mole launcher @ £12
2 x engineers squad @ £23
total=£88

bundle=£79

so your saving 9 pounds, not twenty...?

FW website down?!

i wonder what's being changed?

The Black Library website is also down, which is probably something to do with the new Tallarn LE book being released at 1 today.

Pretty sure the DKoK are supposed to be a relatively recent thing in the 40k timeline and before 1-2 thousand years ago, they were the "Some Guys from Krieg".

Yes, weren't the Death Korps created following the irradiation of Krieg in a nuclear Civil War? Prior to the nuclear war (i.e. Horus Heresy), regiments from Krieg would have lacked the distinctive hazardous environment themes, they would resemble Cadian regiments more than the Death Korps.
