No the laws are not that hard to get around, it is literally just submitting an application to the right government body which then gets approved after like 20 days in the worst day circumstances. Its not expensive or difficult. You also only need a permit for like 3-4 out of the 7 states too.
GW stuff here is already doubly expensive than what it is everywhere else so dam do we have the right to be included in their online competitions that a person in Antarctica or on the moon can win. GW has always treated Australia like dirt and its utterly decimated the community here and I'm tired and sick of it to be honest.

On the Charonite, not my favorite but I do like them, very brutal, can imagine one of those talons grabbing a marine while the meatgrinder tears them apart. These should really give Solar Auxilia some teeth for combat in HH.

Do we really need more "GW hates Australia!!" crap? There's even a handy thread for moaning about it. It's not this one.

Indeed.

Let's move on from this here please.

Thank you.

EDIT: Mod post slipped in before I'd reloaded the page.

I dig the Ogryns as a nice melee unit, though I do wonder how useful they'll be on the table.

**BrookM**

The squad is mostly made with Zone Mortalis scenarios in mind.

**Medium of Death**

HOLY GAK FW I LOVE YOU.

Three masked heads and one non masked.

**BrookM**

This isn't anything new with the Solar Auxilia line, all models either come fully helmeted or in the case of some like unit leaders and nuncio vox operators, come with opened helmets or no helmet at all.

It still doesn't make this any less cool or a revelation for me.

I'm glad FW have started doing pics of the parts for the models so it gives you an idea of how stuff goes together.

Even better, parts are numbered more and more these days, plus the instructions are actually useful, instead of showing pictures without much description.

**Johnson101**

I agree the new instruction and numbering is a godsend for some kits.
Charonites are a beast in CC, they just need to get their and they cost a bomb, but in an Army that lacks any other form of CC they look like an amazing counter attacking unit.

**BrookM**

Well, you can always take the Cyclops, getting them there is perhaps a bit of a hassle but when they arrive..

I used one last week in a Zone Mortalis with an atomic imploder, well worth the 120 pts.

it's a small detail of the overall massive piece, but man, those braided hoses do look amazing!!!
i wonder if some madman sculpted that by hand, or if they did them in CAD...

I would suspect it's most likely actual braided hose on the original sculpt.

Not even that if you buy Contemptor Dreads- they just send you the bits in a bag lol.

Early Blood Axes (and presumably still do) employ Ogryn Mercenaries.

To be fair, the feet are labeled L and R, though.

So some weapon mods and they'd make great counts-as Dredds perhaps? Or count-as Kanz, if they're not too big...

They're certainly the nicest Ogryns/Ogres I've seen from GW or FW.

Not to keen on the gorilla suit but nice seing Ogryn gets some love, no ranged options?

Nope. their only weapon is a pair of Charonite Claws.

Strength +1 AP3, to-wound rolls of 6 are AP2 and instant death. A unit of three is putting down 15 strength 6 AP3 attacks on the charge, at WS4. Pretty beastly.

And yeah, those models are fething amazing. Another home-run for Forgeworld.

**Vaktathi**

Not sure how I feel about the new Solar Auxilia Ogryns. Both expensive and ridiculous looking, yet still largely better than GW's plastic ones.

Hrm....

I'm with you on this one. I'm not impressed. They look like obese ghostbusters! More specifically, an obese version of Dan Akroyd's character!

Huh, why do they have bows?

I agree with other posters, they definitely have a big daddy feel tho them

**aka_mythos**

Those are just the power cables and wires that run to their buzz saws and pincer hands.

**SlaveToDorkness**

I'd like to see a conversion making them into MANs. That'd be cool! Not cool enough for me to just buy them and do it...but cool.

And the "bowstring" is just a vent for the resin to reduce trapped air bubbles.

Yip I'm with you on this too. Ogryns are too foolish looking for a dark age of war.

NOTHING goes over my head!... My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN 50

It’s been a busy few weeks. The Horus Heresy Weekender 2015 is well and truly behind us now and we’re gearing up for the next events we’ll be attending. First there’s Adepticon in Chicago, then Salute in London and then, of course, the hotly anticipated Warhammer World Grand Opening weekend right here in Nottingham.

Something found its way on to my desk this week that got me pretty excited. As I’ve been working on my Alpha Legion, I really didn’t want to hand this one back, but I did manage to break away from admiring it long enough to snap a photo. Take a look...

Armillus Dynat of the Alpha Legion looks fantastic and could be pretty close to production.

I’m always on the lookout for awesome armies and recently I caught sight of this World Eaters Legion by James Karch. James has done a great job of making his World Eaters look like they’re fighting on the frontlines, with their chipped and weathered armour suitably splattered with blood.

James’ World Eaters Legion.

James has built the core of his force with Legion MkIV Maximus Armour and added Contemptor Dreadnoughts, complete with a Dreadnought Drop Pod (with more to be added soon), and a Storm Eagle. No World Eaters Legion would be complete without the murderous Red Butchers, and James has also added a pair of Praetor models to lead his army; one of which he’s converted to lead the Red Butchers into combat. His most recent addition has been the brand new Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought. The Deredeo is a superb unit for long range support and anti-aircraft fire, though in a World Eaters army I wouldn’t be surprised to see it charging to the front and firing at point blank range!

James’ World Eaters are daubed with the blood of their foes.

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

Chris.

Oh my God Armillas Dynat has a pip-boy haha
