Coming after the two day Open Day at the weekend, I guess.

**Orock**

Where the hell is IA 14? They have been teasing it over a year. I desperatley need transports for skitarii.

Same here, but i wanna see Leviathan Dreadnought Carab Culln's Rules...

**Peregrine**

Heads. Lots of heads.

And another event ticket.

**BrookM**

As nice as those new heads are, they do not go well with the House Terryn scheme. A better match would be a Mechanicum alligned house.

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

Just remember kids, each one of those eyes has seen IA14, and you still haven't.

Has anybody had an email from Forge World about early access to Heresy Weekender Tickets?

They have done this in the previous years but I've not heard a peep this year.

... ..

hmmmm

One fears that you might've missed out here perhaps ?

I've certainly seen a few people on FB and elsewhere saying they booked their tickets on the 2nd of November.

.. which might explain why the link to the tickets in the FW mail out today takes you to

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-WW/The-Horus-Heresy-Weekender-2017-Ticket?utm_campaign=b3bcc6235f-FW_2016_11_04_HHW&utm_source=forgeworld.co.uk&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a6ef0a01da-b3bcc6235f-115873817&_requestid=2037305

which is not available/out of stock.

**zedmeister**

Blimey, that was fast!

**BrookM**

They can still be had here:

Sat: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/warhammer-40000-open-days-saturday-ticket-tickets-27984245632

Sun: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/warhammer-40000-open-days-sunday-ticket-tickets-27984941714

edit.

Oops, wrong event.

**Peregrine**

Wow, half an hour to sell out. Lesson: if you have any hope of going to the weekender events you'd better camp the FW website every friday morning to have a chance!

**Kijamon**

We had already booked all our flights/accomodation and it fell on me to get the tickets.

Sat from half 8 refreshing the FW page. Went up at 8.53, sold out in about 20 minutes.

Amazingly fast but with Inferno looking likely to be the release, can't say I'm surprised!

**zedmeister**

I'm looking forward to Adeptus Titanicus (if you can't guess). Though, I reckon the April event will be time it makes its real appearance.

**sockwithaticket**

Attached to a Knight the bottom two heads kind of work, but they're still horrible.

**Fireball**

General Grievous says hello ...

**Tannhauser42**

The heads look like a walrus to me.

It turns out that my over zealous spam filter ate the email from FW. A quick phone call yesterday got me a ticket and a 2nd got me a room at the hotel.

BTW, if you have a ticket and want a room I'dd suggest calling ASAP to get a room as they go fast.

and

By crikey they sold out fast this year!

**reds8n**

Glad all worked out alright in the end.

...
.. we expect pics BTW !

**str00dles1**

I like the pic, shows Prospero more1

**CragHack**

The one in the middle looks pretty cool.

Mechanicum Vultarax Stratos-Automata

And the rules.

At first I wasn't totally sure about it, but it Really grew on me and I love the look now

and the rules seem decent enough.

Actually ended up preordering it and it shipped today, that weak pound has been my ruin

**MajorTom11**

Those knight heads are goofy as F.... I think they might be the worst thing that I have seen from forgeworld for me...

**Foxhound25**

They look like the Mondoshawan, the fat guardian aliens from The Fifth Element.

**Kirasu**

I think FW is mandated to make as many iKnight heads as there are different versions of contemptor dreadnoughts

I agree, if I didn't know any better I'd assume these were third party versions and not actual FW products.

I like them. They scream "Armorcast!" and I fully think they will work best as AdMech Knight heads. I will be getting... probably all of them.

**ImAGeek**

I like the Knight heads too. I like the weirdness of them. I dunno why they put them on a non mechanicus Knight though, don't really go.

**Requizen**

Was there an ETA on the next HH book? I kind of want to start Thousand Sons but I'd like to see their stuff first.

Probably February.

**GoatboyBeta**

More IK options are always good to see even if there not to my personal taste. The more "knightly" heads that were previewed at the same time look a lot better IMO. What I'd really like to see and what would cause me to drop more money on Knights are more weapon options for the plastic kit.

I raise you one Contemptor chainfist. Like seriously, who decided this was an ok design?!
