Gandalf the Blue, the board-wizard. You've never read the surfarillion?

I hope we will see more of the new Blood Bowl miniatures and get some info about HH: Adeptus Titanicus from the Specialist Team.

Actually, it's if you need just one of those Mastodon.

Assault Cannons and Storm Shields

**Crazyterran**

Look in front of the storm shield guys - are those a Breacher upgrade kit? If so, that would make getting bleachers significantly cheaper.

**BrookM**

I guess it's too much to hope for Ireton MaSade making an appearance? :(

They're the Ultramarines upgrade ones I'm guessing, from the last event:
You can already get those type shields though: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Space-Marine-Boarding-Assault-Upgrade-Set

That Mechanicus stuff is truly beautiful. Especially the badass Porphyrion.

**Januine**

Sooooo much Mech deliciousness........

**jah-joshua**

awooooooooooooo
Space Wolves!!!
can't wait

those Moritat look badass, too...
loving the belt feed to the pistols...

power scythes look fun...
they did a good job of keeping the best bits of Typhus' scythe...

pretty much everything on show looks good, but Prospero is what has got me most excited...
A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns are two of my favorite HH books, and it's been a long wait for them to get to this battle...
so stoked it's finally happening...
thanks for posting the pics, guys, as always

cheers

Terminator Storm Shields! Wooooooooooo!

Excellent for the Wolfs.

Only downside: no Blood Angels yet! Arrrgh!

**Imateria**

No close up pictures of the Secutarii? They're right next to the Macrocarid Exploritor damnit, how hard could it have been to take pics of them!

**Warhams-77**

There are lots of closeup pics on Battlebunnies

Those hoplites are awesome

As always, FW doesn't disappoint.

Does anyone know what the disc-looking doodad on top of that Deredeo dreadnought is?

I think it's the Atomantic Pavise, a shield thing they've had in the rules since it was first released but never had an option for the model.

**Yodhrin**

Are there no seminars or the like today then to give us sneak peeks?

**Warhams-77**

Open days are not about seminars, but you can chat with the designers

Re: Forgeworld Open Day 2016 - News and Rumour
I had a really nice chat with Andy Hoare about blood bowl. This is done and will be out before Christmas, the models and the sprues were all done and they look great.

Humans and orcs are in the box, and then skaven and dwarves will be next. The pitch is reversible and has a human pitch one side and an Orc one the next side. Once they get skaven and dwarves out done they're going to do a similar double sided pitch for them. In terms of other plastic box sets they are going to do an elf team and one other team. Everything else will be resin. Special characters are in the works, but rules for some of them are already done.

Anyway as we were chatting about blood bowl he pulled out a play testing copy of asepticus titanicus from the eighties! It had Polaroid pictures in it and the old printer paper with the holes in the side! Anyway adepticus titanicus is his next project. The old scale was really mixed with troops too big and Titans too small! New scale is going to be 8mm, so should work really well. He was saying with the new models you can see the marks of armour on space marines infantry, so although small should still be really detailed, by the sound of things this makes a warlord the size of a contemptor.

There's going to be some terrain in the box inspired by the old cardboard buildings, but this will be plastic, everything else is going to be resin. The setting is 30k so just going to be HH to start, but the plan is if it does well to introduce other races within the 30k setting.

By the sound of things the focus is going to be getting a decent model range for the HH first. We talked about how hard it is to do all ranges and all unit types in epic, and I think the focus is very much Titans, tanks and flyers! This is due in 2017 and will all be under the forgeworld banner.

I spoke to Alan Bligh about the HH timeline which was quite nice. One of the interesting things that was mentioned was blood angels and dark angels which by the sounds of things are going to be dealt with together, and won't necessarily involve signus prime. Whilst this is an interesting story, it doesn't really make for a good campaign. he mentioned there were quite a lot of events not on the official timeline, and that he has various versions of the timeline which includes other battles that haven't been covered either by black library or FW.

The focus at the moment is on Tempus, which all going well should be this year. The artwork and the first drafts are all done, but whether they can get it done in time is another matter!
