Was it his project to do the Solar Auxilla? I knew one of the designers just went on and sculpted them because they liked the idea?

Well, I think we're still waiting on four three from Book 3 though, right?

And of course 3 2 of those are the 3 2 I'm most looking forward to getting!

From what I've heard (don't quote me on this) he did the Lasrifle section in his own spare time, presented it to the team and they loved it so much that they started working on the Imperial Army concept that would evolve into the Solar Auxilia.

Makes me wonder if we'll ever see a pack of three Auxilia Medicae and their named character, Lord Marshal Ireton MaSade.

Although, IIRC, the main reason for him leaving Forge World was his wife moving to a new job in Paris, and obviously he didn't want to be left behind. It was something like that, anyway, I don't think it was a case of him just getting fed up with GW/FW.

I guess I don't understand why he couldn't also still do some work for FW, unless he didn't have to/want to, of course!

Still, if he's going to be doing more Mierce Darklands stuff?

As long as it's not the typical Imperial Armour story progression of:

1. Imperium goes to fight/reclaim something.
2. Finds themselves up against a force of xenos!
3. Deus Ex Machina!
4. Total xenos victory.

Still, Forge World doing the Adeptus Mechanicus (rather than the Mechanicum)... that's tempting.


I fear you are right. It does get a little tiring. We need more shades of grey stories the closest so far is Imperial Armour 11 or Tactica Aeronautica where the Imperium shot the Tau up good and proper.

Still, a FW book with Ad-Mech?! Yes please! Chuck in Elysians for flavour and bliss!

I liked IA 12 too, it was more the other way around- huge xenos attack, Imperium comes in to counter attack, huge costly stalemate... and then the story ends. I get that you are meant to play the rest of the campaign yourself to see what happens, but it is still a little annoying how it so suddenly cuts out.

It's weird, because the IoM regularly batters Chaos in the IA books, but loses consistently to Xenos.

Maybe the Tau Titans first appearance in a book will be a crushing victory for the Imperium, which is why standard Tau doctrine goes for using Mantas and the like, rather than expensive walking war machines. (You know, keep it consistent with the current fluff)

However, the Tau still maintain a small amount of them, in case their air support is cut off for whatever reason, and they need to be able to combat Imperial Super Heavy class vehicles. That explains its rarity, too!

That explanation makes total sense - Kudos.

There is nothing preventing him from still taking commission work from them, as FW have and will continue to bring in guns for hire to sculpt, and I'd imagine in ranges where he's already done a fair bit, there's likely to be a feeling that he should be brought back in to continue aesthetic/feel, if available/willing. There's absolutely no bad blood and it's far more about external factors that he's not 'in house' any more. Hypothetically speaking.

Come to think of it, who is still sculpting for Forge World? It seems that they've stopped posting the sculptors on new models and I don't think I've seen a full roster of the talent behind them for quite some time.

I'm just quietly amused by the use of the phrase Deus Ex Machina, in conjunction with a discussion of an Adeptus Mechanicus book.

Does that mean there will be some new Cult Mech with new rules coming out with the Tau? Cause I can get behind that.

I love me some Volkite, but I'm not sure a pair of TL Volkite Culverins would be better than a pair of Kheres Assault Cannons. The Kheres do have about half the range, but with more shots and rending.

So if FW are still doing Contemptor parts, does that mean we won't be seeing a plasic GW one? Or will they be options, like the current dreadnoughts?

Or more likely, they are putting out some new weapons since some of the older, more common ones will be phased out when GW brings out a plastic version.

That's not entirely correct. It charges the correct tax for your province -- so 12% in British Columbia, 5% in Alberta, for example. 13.5% in Quebec, I think (since it's tax-on-tax)?

OTOH, previously, it was a little hit and miss; sometimes, customs waived it through; other times, you got charged for the tax AND brokerage fees, and the latter could really suck.

I never had that, only once in a blue moon when my order was over a certain amount I had to pay customs fees but since the delivery was done by the Canada Post I didn't have any "brokerage fees" usually associated with UPS or FedEx.
