I'm hoping that they show off Custodes Terminators. Even bigger golden warriors in super-Cataphractii armour would be amazing.

That's another three months. What we up to now? 2022?

At this rate, Black Library will have finished the Horus Heresy series before Dorn gets released

The chap on the bottom left of the cover?

While that could be a new model of the bolter-wielding Custodes chaps from the artwork (e.g.:

...I think it's more likely that he's simply a Space Wolf space marine. The legs look Mark III to me, and the overall silhouette looks too similar to a marine.

About the Job

Do you want to create digital models that will be turned into new Specialist Brands products?

Are you excited by the opportunity to develop an idea from concept to finished product in a creative and collaborative environment?

We’re looking for an enthusiastic designer who can realize ideas using digital design software, for example, Solidworks or Zbrush.

You will need to be adaptable to the brief, work together with other designers and turn ideas into valuable products for the Specialist Brands team.

You will be responsible for creating exciting new resin models using C.A.D. that are complementary and consistent to Games Workshop’s intellectual property.

You will need to work to a given brief and meet scheduled deadlines enthusiastically in a design team environment, the Specialist Products Studio.

You must be able to turn your designs into products that can be easily reproduced by manufacturing.

Working at Games Workshop

At Games Workshop we are looking for people who will do their best to understand the needs of the company and to put those needs first when they are at work. Because of this we believe that what you are like, hence the attitude you show to work and the way you choose to behave is even more important than your skills or experience.

Other Essential Information

Closing date: Applications must be received by midnight, UK time, on Sunday 12th February 2017.



This will involve sculpting for Blood Bowl and ..future..spec.game releases.

How did you know it was Blood Bowl, reds8n? The mention of SolidWorks (which is much more suited to inorganic models) made me think of Adeptus Titanicus / BFG / etc. Although, they mentioned Zbrush too which is really best for organics, so maybe they're just hoping for the perfect candidate... with the right attitude, of course (I actually think working at FW is probably a blast, just funny they have to copy/paste that part)

The dude in the front left corner? I can't tell if he is LC or not. The guy in the middle has normal spear setup. Am I missing someone?
Indeed he is LC not PA marine. Look at his neck protection and bolt gun looks fancy on zoom.

Well look at the scale of the figure compared to the custodian guard to the right of the vehicle. Plus the left shoulderpad is almost a dead giveaway, and the neck guard is near identical if not 100% identical to the plastic custodes. All FW has released up until now has been custodes vehicles/transfers/dreadnought so it's no surprise they had at least one infantry variant (a shooty one) in the making. I'm betting on them being pretty badarse when we finally see them.

My brother managed to snag me one before they removed it.

Unless this means they are making a new, easier to build one. I'm still trying to figure out how the bottom base fits to the top part of the base.

That is realy surprising TBH. Forgeworld pushs the model realy hard, since it's the only pod allowed to drop contemptor dreads everyone loves. They even listed it as being able to drop their new siege dreads. Due to their popularity, I figured that boosted the number of Lucius pods they sold.

Maybe GW is doing a plastic Dreadnought drop pod instead of plastic sisters.

It's almost as if it was a massively up priced dreadnought easily proxyable by just not putting the gun into a regular dread and ignoring it being a little smaller.

Just got a reply from FW

Thank you for the email. Unfortunately the dreadnought drop pods you are after are no longer in production.

Due to extensive damage to the moulds the resins team rendered the kits irreparable. whilst we look in to the situation further we have not been given any indications on a new kit being produced or if they are going to try and re sculpt the the current kit that has recently been removed from the range.

What we do know is that It is very rare that once an item has been discontinued that it will be brought back into our range at least in its previous form.

Thank you again and sorry for any inconvenience


Looks like that's it.

So I got a high res version of the Weekender schedule from Forge World.

Also, awesome email response from them...

Greetings Lord Astartes,

The forge is humbled by your request, after contacting the high lords of terror we are pleased to inform you that protocol 274T-e97 has been granted and we are permitted to share the documents you requested for viewing.

Please find attached the sacred scrolls of time keeping for the Horus Heresy Weekender though be warned these documents must not fall into the hands of the heretics for dark things can occur once in the wrong hands!

Again my lord we are most blessed by your communications and thank you for your time

It could be the case that the master was also damaged/destroyed. Sometimes things are temporarily unavailable with "remaking the molds" as the reason, so presumably they can make new molds if necessary. And I can't imagine they'd be stupid enough to deliberately throw out all of the masters as general policy, would they?

No, we need at least another 2 versions of Horus and Guilliman before we get Dorn.

And I finally figured out why the next IA book is delayed. They had to redo the entire run so they could change Adeptus Mechanicus to Aedeptys™ Maechanycys™. How did I not think of that earlier!
