So, stumbled upon this little morsel (cheers Atia on B&C):

They will do a Furibundus class Dreadnought. Probably a destroyer dreadnought.

I'm expecting Rad missiles, phosphex launchers, irradiation engines and a general radioactive deathdealer...

**Neronoxx**

My wallet is not ready for dreadnoughts of this magnitude....

**hotsauceman1**

Missed out on the rocket sentinel. Bummer

To be fair, the rocket Sentinel is probably by far the easiest FW Sentinel to convert- a plastic GW Sentinel plus plastic Valkyrie rocket pod is most of the required components.

**Nova_Impero**

I need to buy some of that Astral Claws stuff now.

**Ankhalagon**

Hmm...
No Whirlwind Hyperios anymore.
Well, I can always convert them from normal ones....

**H.B.M.C.**

Why that Necron cannon, but not the other two?

They have probably stopped producing all three, and this is the one that is a bit more popular than the others, or had less stock remaining overall, and is therefore running out of stock a little sooner. The others will probably appear over the next few months.

Probably a case of "weak rules, doesn't sell as well as the others, let it go OOP instead of fixing the rules so people buy it".

**RivenSkull**

I felt bad about the Heat Cannon Pylon going away.

Then I remembered how anyone who wants to make the unit can just grab the Heat Ray from the Necron Triarch Stalker and magnetize it for the Pylon.

And if it wasn't GW, I might even think that they would roll all 3 models into 1 purchase with all the parts to pick from.

Do Forgeworld have a FB page now? Or did I dream that?

They do.

Also- has this been posted here? A rather kickass looking Warlord Titan with plasma doom and dakkaclaw from their FB page.

**Shadox**

The plasma annihilation-of-whatever-you-point-it-at-device looks really awesome so does the claw even if I'm not entirely sure what he expects to reach with that hand

If only that faceplate weren't that hideous...
Way too retro for my taste.

From Facebook, nothing new, but still fun:

Aww now that's just cute

Also, what is so practical about the Warlord titan? I appreciate its existence; it is a nice kit and a fine bit of casting, but how does one use it?
Does one need a special box? How does one move it without tipping it over? Its like 2 ft tall isn't it? That's not much of a miniature.

**angelofvengeance**

Apocalypse games mostly.

Someone over on ATT got their hands on the new barracuda, with some good pics.

Spoiler:

Do my eyes deceive me or is that barracuda already drilled for magnets? Is that a casting choice or did the poster do it?

And it also answers my earlier question if the cockpit was still separate. One piece casting.

Cheers

It's a casting choice, to allow you to magnetise it. The Ta'unar is the same, the arms have magnet slots in already.

**Januine**

well that's a bit awesome; having cast mag slots into the design. nice.

**Ashiraya**

Spoiler:

Love the claw. Prefer the volcano cannon over the plasma annihilator, and that head is just not to my taste at all.

SUPREMELY DESTRUCTIVE
Tau KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour already carries an impressive array of weapons. But what to do if you need even more long range destruction? This year at Warhammer Fest a new missile-array for the Supremacy Armour was on show. Feast your eyes…

The Imposing KX139 towers over even Imperial Knights.

These weapons were meant to hunt massive foe!
If you were lucky enough to get a ticket for the Forge World Open Day then I hear you might be able to get hold of this mighty weapon system. Don’t worry though; it’ll be available on the Forge World web store soon afterwards.

And if you do have a ticket for the Forge World Open Day, you have until Monday 11th July to place an order for collection at the event with free shipping. Just make sure you’ve selected the UK as your shipping destination and choose the Forge World Open Day from the list of events.

Not Nearly enough.

**Jackal**

Still waiting on the bloody ursarax to be released.
Kept seeing the release ones but they wanted £75 for 3 lol.

I do have some sanity, just not alot.

And yet every place where a gun could possibly go, there is one. It never ends.

A while still. Russ next, then probably Magnus, and then Dorn and Alpharius when the story comes back round to feature them apparently.

Whoa! That KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour is gloriously Gundam-esque. Brilliant!

And here I am waiting on something as simple as transfers that have been previewed. In September! At least you know Dorn requires sculpting and casting. Transfers? Just printing!
