Pretty cool giveaway.. even if I laugh when they say "biggest prizes ever" when the Warlord probably costs like 200$ to make. (based on reseller prices anyway)

Safe to say it cost way more than that when you include the salaries of the artist developing the concepts, the sculptor, the graphic designers making promotional art, instruction, the casters, etc...

That was true at some point, but I'd think they'd at least have made back their initial investment for the Warhound and maybe the Reaver by now.

Screw you FW!!!

Now take my money anyway! I didn't want your smelly 'ol Titan!

Lol, why are those few areas in the US excluded?

Individual state laws governing legality of contests. Some don't allow contests where you must purchase something to win.

LD 2 and can always claim a cover shave!

Is it me, or would be one of the new style A4 decal sheets with all sorts of Chaos runes, symbols, sigls etc be a hugely useful thing right now?

There's some awesome stuff on the WB sheet, so more of that plus some god specific runes, unaligned stars etc.. Not in the god awful primary colors like the CSM sheets either.

Or, heck, one for each God.

Anyone recall anything from an event or a rumor that's slipped my mind?

That's because a contest that requires you to buy something to enter is not a contest its a raffle which is gambling, and in this case its online gambling which is highly regulated in some areas.

Bravo sir.

Permission to give special exceedingly long salute?

The cynic in me thinks this contest means there won't be much in the way of cool new releases this month, hence the need for a contest to drum up sales.

I think you need to cynic harder.

I'd go that they've got something they know is going to sell boat loads under wraps for a few weeks time, so they're running this comp to encourage people to place an order, and then feel compelled to place another one when whatever it is gets announced.

Latest Bulletin incl. a pic from a Thousand Sons Contemptor Dreadnought

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/blog/blog.jsp?_requestid=13146449

Wha.... is this the first one of these new patterns of dreadnoughts FW has created? A.. con..temp.tor? Awesome, so excited to see what this looks like!

All jokes aside, it does look pretty great.

there is some artwork for this dreadnought posted on FB as well

we had pictures of the completed models from open day a month ago. It's nice that they are finally catching up and releasing some of the kits from then.

Onto the comments now about titan weapons and meh another space marine release what about some xeno love

From Facebook:

Not sure if that is just weird artwork for a Contemptor, or something new.

It's a less blinged up Contemptor.

Is that a new Khador Warjack?

No, if it were it would have absurdly large shoulder pads, these are too small and would never give Matt Wilson an erection.

Psychic Dreadnought?

Needs more lightning!

Contemptor Cortus variant perhaps (aka the Poverty Spec Contemptor )

I hope this doesn't release while the titan competition is still going because then I would have a very good excuse to spend 100 pounds on more glorious resin...

Oh, for heaven's sake. It's the artwork for the old Horus Heresy card game. The card is Seraphis, a TS dreadnought.

Beats me. Point is, that's just a piece of old HH artwork, of a TS Contemptor, that they used to tease upcoming TS releases.

Thats ok by me. The books won't have recycled artwork and that way they focus on the miniatures (or at least the guys who do the artwork are busy enough on the next books).

What is included in the Legion Astartes: Crusade Army List red book? From posts in this thread it seems to be everything from books 1-5, including legion rules, characters, special units, etc. all updated with errata and changes, as well as some new material like Iron Circle (but otherwise excluding the relics found in book 4), however the books page on the FW site makes it seem like it only includes material fromm books 1-3.

Also, is the red book worth buying at all or will it be invalidated/updated in 8 months when Book 7 drops (not that its fully up to date as it is, since its mysteriously absent the info from book 6 even though it was (re?)released at the same time)? Is forgeworld taking a "codex" approach with these books, updating them every x often, or are they going to take more of a "volume" approach (considering the book is called "crusade" army lists even though by book 6 we have seemed to moved beyond the era of great crusade style organization and into the realm of "heresy" style organization within the legions, evidenced by blackshields and shattered legions rules)?
