I just read that Perturabo was Edgar Skomorowski's last work and he will leave FW ... that will delay the Primarch output again.

Eidolon was the last model he did before he left apparantly. He's left to move to Paris where most of his family are I read.

Ah, ok. I like the Eidolon model even more than Perturabo. Sad to see him go. Hopefully FW has enough talent to pick up the slack - if not Primarchs, then at least for the other special characters.

It's up!

Yes, after years of skullyotherapy, the Khornemower has learnt to walk again.

And experimental rules, which is Forge World-speak for "it's too expensive, as usual".

**Terror from the Deep**

525 points seems expensive in comparison to the cost of an IK,

If they had produced their own model from scratch I expect it would have been much cooler and more impressive

**Ratius**

Very disappointed in Perturabo, the overall look and shape of his armor looks off and the forearm guns are superbly tacky.

**nudibranch**

I personally really like the look of the Kyton, though it would of been nice of them to release the legs as a conversion kit.

**MagosBiff90**

I WANT PERTURABO!!!! Looks glorious IMHO! Just like the lord of Iron should... and as for the Mastodon Carrier Super Tank .... this will haunt my dreams...... until I can save the £500 or so pounds I expect it may cost! .... (maybe not £500) but might not be to far off?

Thasks for all the pics though folks....

**Jimsolo**

Still treating the Dark Eldar like the wheezing fat kid at the party? Check.
More 30k models consisting of the same SM as always, this time in a funny hat? Check.
Tanks with guns on their guns on their guns? Check.

Stay classy, Forgeworld.

It'd be really clever if they'd do a vehicle that uses the tracks/fluid tubes from the other half of the Khornemower.

**angelofvengeance**

Looks a lot better from that angle

Cheers for the pic HBMC

The only thing wrong with Perturabo is his price. You're paying for that giant chunk of dead Knight and a Primarch...

For all those complaining about "tau super-heavy walker is unfluffy!" and such, here is the word from FW:

Anyone ever thought that the reason the Tau are getting a Titan is because of the need or the players for more ease of use?

Super Heavy fliers are not easy to move about on the battlefield or transport. Really, they should only be seen in apocalypse games where other such huge things are moping about on the board.

A walker is easier to utilise on the field. Yeah they could have gone with a super heavy hover tank, but maybe they want to leave them with just the Eldar, and again maybe they weren't practical for the user on the table top.

You're not wrong! I have used my Thunderhawk once in 4 years! Its an awesome display piece but the massive weight of it and the big flying base it needs makes it a bitch to game with.

I kinda wish I got a Reaver instead as I am sure it would have been used more.

**Sidstyler**

As mentioned before.. Alan Bligh, alongside Daren Parrwood and Blake Spence are all keen to develope the Tau War Paradigm beyond that of just the Kauyon and Mont'au strategies... this is leading to not just this suit, but also a likely Superheavy Skimmer/ Tank that is a more suitable heavy platform, but on a scale for the long lost Orca.

It's Mont'ka. Mont'au is bad, it's like the Tau apocalypse, referring to the time when the race almost destroyed itself.

But whatever, nice to see they're still thinking about doing tanks again. Why is the Orca gone, though?

To some it is a matter so serious that they are willing to debate it until the mods warn them several times to finally drop it.

It really is time to move on from that here in the FW N&R thread.

Feel free to debate this topic somewhere else though, of course.

Do you realise why that is? They can't make cool models for the DE because there are material limitations. They had enough problems making the Tantalus, anything thinner isn't strong enough, anything larger becomes unstable. Sure, it would be nice to have all sorts of cool vehicles/creatures like most other armies, but apart from some massive beast, they're restricted by the material they make their models in.

To get things back on topic - i noticed that battlebunnies got a rough eta on the ordinatus; 2-3 months time apparently.

Still cannot bring myself to like that Kytan khorne thingy, The legs just don't look right to me, although I guess that encapsulates chaos just right !

**BrookM**

Thanks for sharing, those decals in particular are ace!

I much prefer it with legs than tracks.

I thought it would look better with legs, but not those legs !!
Im not really a fan of the tractor thingy either mind, its not often they put out something I do not like though, was about due I guess.

Those decals are pretty awesome too, bet they will cost a pretty penny.

Yeah same here haha, I think Sigismund was my disliked model for the next 6 months or so probably. And the transfers I imagine will be £16, that's what my UM ones were, that's for an A4 sized sheet with tonnes on it, I dunno if that's good or not..?

Dropping these here from battle bunnies: Spoilered due to image sizes

I really like the Fureans transfers.

I think it's because the legs are too thin and long for his big, bulky upper body to sit on. Just looks kinda weird. It's not really that bad though, and it's an improvement over the plastic kit with the treads.

Really digging the Warp Runners decals myself, loving those constellations.

The Legio Astorium ones? They're pretty awesome too, yeah.

**ace101**

Is it me or is that Mastedon the cheaper-than-a-Land Raider transport CSM are looking for? Looks, intriguing, like an extended Sicarian chassis.

It'll be more than a Land Raider. It's bigger (30-40 transport apparantly) and has two void shields on the top.

**Tannhauser42**

I'm fairly certain it will not be cheaper than a land raider. Probably even more expensive than a Spartan. And it is supposed to look like a Sicaran (a Sicarian is an AdMech model) crossed with a land raider.
