What is this Predator? I checked the FW site, but couldn't find anything resembling it.

**Tannhauser42**

That should be a heavy conversion beamer predator I think.

Predator Executioner with Conversion Beamer / C-beam Cannon (https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Deimos-Pattern-Predator-Executioner).

Thank you! Didn't imagine that it had options.

The limited range of the neutron-flux warheads gives some breathing space and the AP4ness means most automata are getting their 3+ and the thanatars are getting a 2+ save, but Vorax are totally fethed - i think it's too harsh a rule, especially since ripple fire has it firing twice when it doesn't move.

These things are clearly going to appear everywhere - my biggest criticism is that it is good at everything, it does anti-air, anti-troop, anti-tank and anti-automata for 270 pooints and does them all rather well - has it got any failings?

I mean... it is a vehicle. You can pop it like any other with certain units. But yea, it does really do just everything and well. Meh.

I've realised that it does have a deficiency; it doesn't have a troop transport capacity.

When they mix and match like this I am only left wondering when I should start bringing back my 2d edition predators, rhinos, and land raiders...

Honestly, it would have the same problem my regular Sicaran does: It has a giant bullseye painted on it and and it dies in the first turn of nearly every game I play. It doesn't matter what else I have on the board, my Sicaran always. fething. dies.

**Verviedi**

Standard issue double Vultarax for AV should at least ensure mutually assured destruction with an Arcus. Depends on who goes first, and whether the Vultarax are in range.

Spoiler:

that dropship is well tasty.

Rogue Idol returns!

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

Oooooohh... Custodes Terminators. Excellent!

Now c'mon FW, let's see a nice Custodes Terminator HQ-type person.

**Yodhrin**

Mmmmyeah, not a huge fan of the dropship tbh, it looks like a Tau vehicle painted gold.

Still, they've done an excellent job capturing the default state for Bard's kids in the movies - incoherent squealing & screeching.

Dem Aquilon Terminators tho

Also, for once FW's prices aren't the most heart attack-inducing thing about the Open Day - holy christ look at that burger, it's like they want their customers to die

**Chikout**

With the open day being named the forgeworld AND SPECIALIST GAMES open day, surely this weekend would be the time to announce a new Necromunda if it is coming this year. Looking forward to seeing what hints we get, hopefully including a first look at plastic titans for adeptus Titanicus.

**zedmeister**

You forgot this new release:

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Rogue Idol eh?

Well, guess I might be doing Bonesplitterz!

**Crazyterran**

Might have to wait for those Underworld Tokens before i pick up the other stuff...

**reds8n**

... TBH the fact that Bugman's is doing another variant burger -- tasty as it no doubt will be -- is about as suprising as FW releasing a marine related kit or a certain Imperial Armour book still not being released.

IE : you just assume it'll be the case.

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

I bet that burger'd cost $30 in Australia.

Doubt it, it's a Forgeworld Burger, not a GW Studio Burger...

**reds8n**

You can pay using the notes you got in your change from "Hungry Jacks" though soo....

I'll just leave this here:

That burger sounds kinda awful. Just... way too much going on. Also, mozzarella?! Come on. Its the UK for crying out loud. You guys have a load of better cheese options. Why not a nice pungent Stilton and leave off all the pulled meats? That would still be overdoing it, but an improvement.

But I must say, it is the most reasonably priced FW item I have seen in a while. lol

I'm going on the day - I'll sniff around looking for Vyronii transfers...

**changemod**

£50 for 3 terminators? I know an army probably won't need more than about 6, but c'mon guys.

And whilst mozzarella is definately a weird choice for a burger, at least it's a high quality cheese. Even putting aside how many people would be completely put off by sticking Stilton as an ingredient in something from a marketing perspective, the substance is an abomination toward the very concept of food.

Thank you! I am hopeful they will be a surprise release at the event but... I think that at every event they do and have been disappointed for almost two years now!

**Crazyterran**

Custodes get a mark up because most will be painting them gold, clearly they should be more expensive! Because gold.

Stilton is delicious when paired with a ground beef patty. We have a gastropub locally that does/did it and it was divine.

FIGHT ME.

**Fireball**

Finally the Custodes Terminators and the TS Praetor ... hurray

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

They're also probably bigger than Terminators in the same way that Custodes are bigger than Space Marines.
