The first places you'll be able to get your hands on this indomitable Battle Automata will be at Warhammer Fest, next month

That looks effing amazingful!!!!

I am doing crusade/heresy era Imperial Fists and my friend is doing Iron Warriors, I hope he picks those up so I can blow them up and show those trench crawlers who the real Siege Masters are

**nerdfest09**

I will be a very happy Nerd if there's some new bare heads released with the space wolves stuff! or even with the helmet upgrade kits, i'm sure someone out there will sell me bare heads if they don't use them! :-)

The Horus Heresy Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List

For the first time ever, Forge World rules are available in Tablet and Enhanced Editions! The Mechanicum Taghmata Army List brings the war machines of the Legio Cybernetica, the Knight houses and the Titan Legions to the tabletop, with full rules and background.

READ IT BECAUSE
All players of Horus Heresy games can benefit from adding some Mechanicum (or Dark Mechanicum if that's your metal bag) to their army, and with this digital edition, it's easier than ever to carry the rules with you!

FW digital rules?! Ok, that is good news!

**Dudeface**

"Everything you need to use your mechanicus forces in games of warhammer 40,000"

That a new precedent for using the list in 40k?

**Mymearan**

Digital FW? Ooooh yes

**BrookM**

Am I dreaming? Holy gak! This is amazing news, my poor back!

Most likely a generic copy paste from other digital releases.

It looks like a digital copy of the existing physical book - it doesn't even have the new book 6 units in it :-(

To be fair if they update the list if you've purchased the book previously you'll get updated for free. That's what happened with the Farsight Enclaves, Waaagh Ghazkul, Crimson Slaughter, and Black Legion supplements. Seems to be the new MO which is great.

These are Heresy era stuff so less bling and more conformity.

Yeah, I get that, but they're just not interesting to me.

I'm not saying we need this level of silliness, but the Wolves have always seemed more unique than the rest. I'm kinda hoping for something more interesting.

No. When the book was first released the same words were used. With 30K games you are, after all, technically still playing Warhammer 40K, but you are doing so with the Age of Darkness expansion.

**Nevelon**

In general, I like real books. But buying digital saves the shipping fees, and lowers the bar of entry. Nice job.

**AllSeeingSkink**

I don't normally follow HH releases from FW, is it normal for them to release torsos and shoulder pads first and then heads later? Surely they'd just release them all at once? How long should we expect it to be before heads arrive?

I like the torsos, the shoulder pads are 'meh'. I was hoping for more than just a regular shoulder pad with the same old blackmane wolf design we have on everything else.

Well.....that is a new one....

**Haighus**

I find it somewhat amusing that the book they decided to make digital first was a Mechanicum one, what with their technology monopoly and all...

**MajorWesJanson**

Makes sense that the first digital codex from FW is Mechanicum. Rather fluffy.

Would have been more fluffy to be Dark Mechanicum; what with the Mechanicum being vehemently anti-innovation for the sake of innovation.

**Thanatos73**

I'm glad FW is releasing books digitally. I'd gladly pick up the red books in digital format even if I don't use the army. I may start a Mechanicum army at some point so having the rules in digital would be nice.

Plus carrying all these books around is a pain, having them in digital would save that pain too.

There are plenty of reasons to go to one of our great events like Warhammer Fest; the seminars; hobby demonstrations; fun activities; and, of course, exclusive models.

I’ve just got hold of the event exclusive model that’ll be released at Warhammer Fest, and it’s stunning! Take a look…

In Cataphractii Terminator Armour, and wielding a Thunder Hammer and what looks very much like a combi-volkite weapon, this model is going to make an imposing and characterful commander in a lot of armies soon!

You’ll be able to get hold of him for the first time at Warhammer Fest, so get your tickets now!

**ImAGeek**

That is freaking awesome.

**Januine**

Gorgeous fig. Wonder wht that'll be getting gouged for on EBay?

**CragHack**

Sigh, if only I played marines of some sort...

Now its just a cool looking model I will most likely pass :|

**CURNOW**

Meh not impressed. The event figs are always better when they are something left field that wouldn't normally get made .

**Yaraton**

Whose colour scheme is this, SoH?

**notprop**

Why the feck were they not selling that at Salute? I would gladly have bought one!

**BrookM**

Same here, but from what I understand, it's supposed to be a Warhammer Fest exclusive from now on, or won't be available at other events until after Warhammer Fest.

**notprop**

Baa-humbug!

**Ankhalagon**

Wow. That one in silver with hazard-stripes.....

**Sirius42**

I want to like the event only cataphractii but there was something bugging me about it and i've only just put my finger on it, his head is too tall. if you look at all the other cataphractii the heads sit really low in the armour.
