When did the Broadsides come back?

Also: they have bundles of the Broadsides up, 90GBP for 3(6 GBP cheaper than buying them individually, so you save...something maybe?)

DAMNED NINJA'S!!!!

Bit late SirDonlad- see previous page.

We've had one with Volkite and one with the Lightning Cannon, so maybe this one will carry the Plasma Fusil from the Krios tank? On the other hand, the Cerastus is supposed to be a faster Knight, so maybe it will be more CC oriented with a bigger graviton hammer than the one the Thanatar carries.

I really hope it isn't CC orientated - the knight variants have the CC thing pretty much covered.

I dearly want the Plasma pulsar from the krios venator, but then the krios venator would be better for the points.

I'm expecting an even larger graviton cannon or a multi-barreled photon cannon (not photon thruster) which struck me as the only photon weapon worth aiming at vehicles (the 'lance' thing)

I'm also expecting better shield tech.

Void shields and Graviton hammers! Wouldn't that be a blast.

Some kind of huge graviton cannon?

Or, perhaps, Knight Castellan?

I'd like a cerastus knight that has a solid ranged loadout, then I'd have an appropriately sized model I could use my dreamforge leviathan as.

As a quick aside, has anyone noticed that the Chaos Dreadnoughts are slowly and quietly disappearing? The Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, Black Legion, and Death Guard Dreadnoughts are all gone.

I'm so bored with Stompy Robot 40K. Can I please get a giant skimmer or hover-tank or something?

The last time I was at Warhammer World, there was a Word bearers dreadnought in the "last chance to buy" pile. I asked why and I was told that they just dont sell anymore so they are going to stop producing them.

Are you talking about the Angry Washing Machine dreadnoughts? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if their sales were being overtaken by the Contemptor versions.

Given that a) Chaos Dreads have been poor for years and b) Legions haven't been catered for properly in the codex for years is it any surprise. I would have loved to buy some but I just couldn't justify it for the amount of table time it would have seen.

If that was directed at me then yes, those ones

I had not. That super sucks. I'd wanted to get another Word Bearers dread or two.

Better get a couple Thousand Sons dreads before those go, too, I guess.

That's a shame. I've got both the Death Guard Dreads and the World Eater Dread. They're great kits.

It looks like I've got mine AL Dread with the full set of weapons just in time. I wanted to buy one for a long time and with the models quietly disappearing from the FW website I figured there is a chance they will be pulled down because 1) GW hasn't made a good Chaos Codex for ages, 2)FW hasn't printed a 40K campaigning book, involving Chaos for some time too.

I think that some of the Orks kits, grot tanks in particular will probably disappear too but don't quote me on that. The ork Squiggoth is gone already.

They are probably getting 30k variants to be fair.

They delivered my BA bits today! I ordered most of the BA releases --

The heads actually look REALLY cool. I really wish I had ordered 2 packs, but I guess I can add it on next time. The non-helmed head looks very roman-senatorial and the helmeted ones have a positively nasty look to them.

The torsos were a little disappointing, but oh well, I knew what I was getting. The detail is very fine, they're well sculpted, etc. But pretty boring, not really much more there than plastic Tac squad torsos (considering you're getting 5 torsos for GBP11.50).

I bought the MK3 and MK2 shoulder pads which are *awesome*. They'll look so good with Sternguard, BA Tac, DC, and Sanguinary bits. I passed on the MK4 shoulders, because frankly, I think the plastic MK4 shoulders look better.

If anyone wants pics that are higher res than the ones on the FW website, I'll be happy to snap

New stuff: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/New

I love the transfers. Legio Mortis are the ones that side with Horus yeah? With the Dies Irae? I really need to get Betrayal still. The Fureans ones are really cool, as are the Astorium ones.

You know, I think I'll echo something someone said earlier in the thread; I think the new transfers are too pretty. For one thing, many of them look as if they're supposed to be three dimensional despite being flat stickers, which is going to look kinda odd and 'video gamey' (like when some detail on an in-game model is just a flat texture.) Also they; being precise digital artwork, are going to look weird next to 90% of peoples hand painting.

No Canis Vertex among the Astorum ones.

Death's Heads and Tiger Eyes are your traitor ones

Firebrands (nearly wiped out in the Dropsite massacre), Warp Runners (Defense of Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade), and War Gryphons (Almost destroyed by Hive Fleet Leviathan) are your loyalist.

Nothing for Legio Invigilata though, which keeps my Warlord Titan interest at 0.

If they ever do a Legio Audax sheet..I'll be in trouble.

I tend to agree. A 2D decal made to look 3D on a real 3D object just seems... odd? And before a pedant comes along, I know the decal is technically three-dimensional

Yeah it does look unrealistic next to most peoples painting and the whole 3d thing but the small scale ones look good in most cases.

I don't think them being 3D effect looks that weird, I don't find it that hard to believe that whoever paints the heraldry on a Titan can paint them with a 3D effect. And they look much better that way than just a big flat decal. They look okay in smaller scale but on a Titan I think it would look a bit uninteresting.

For 3D brass etch will still win out every time. They don't seem to be producing them anymore which is a real shame

But these aren't meant to actually be 3D, just like a 3D effect to the actual heraldry.

I may have missed this in the last few months, but is there a definitive painting guide to the color scheme and heraldry for each of the main titan legions in the horus heresy? I've been thinking of picking some titans up, but I'm unsure of how to paint them; that is to say whether to make them army colors or to go traditional legion colors. Personally I'd prefer traditional legion colors but I don't know what colors the traitor legions are. At least they have transfers that are applicable now!

Thanks,
