Two Primarchs confirmed for 2018!

Wait, does that mean only 2 primarchs for the entire year? Or at least 2 primarchs? It seems to me a bit underwhelming, only 2 characters models for a whole year.

Two Primarchs next year. That doesn't mean that is it for characters next year though.

He said at least 2 primarchs for 2018. He was also just asked about Alpharius, and he said something along the lines that they'll eventually do it. Didn't sound like it was one of those two.

There’s not usually, if ever, more than 2 primarchs a year...

They obviously didn’t want to say which ones were coming, or they would have, so I don’t think you can tell either way. They mentioned Alpharius was after Dorn at an event though.

I'm betting it'll be Dorn and Johnson. I think Alpharius and Sanguinius are the two most anticipated, so will be the last two done.

Technically any character can be alpharius

I'm alpharius. You're alpharius. That guardsman over there? Alpharius

They already stated in August at the Forge World open day in August that they're well into the work on Alpharius. He will be the one after Dorn. After that I'm expecting Sanguinius as the stuff they've put out that will be in Angelus like the new Sicarans have been in Blood Angel colors. Plus the Blood Angels have their transfers out while we're still waiting on the Dark Angels ones.

Warhammer TV today mentioned Alpharius being the "most expensive" Primarch.

Will he actually be 2 sculpts, paired with Omegon?

Nah, he'll have a super scenic base in a base in a base, while all the other Primarchs just have the base in a base.

It'll actually just be the scenic base, you have to buy the tactical marine and spear separately.

No they didn’t. Tony was joking, saying ‘whatever space marine model we make that’s most expensive, buy that and use it as Alpharius’.

That's hilarious.

It’s funnier than the endless ‘we’ve already got an Alpharius model!’ We get every time it’s ever mentioned.

So, what was the 'big' announcement? Nothing seems to have been a groundbreaking revelation.

They never said there was a big announcement, just that they’re showing cool stuff off.

Oh ok, I was only half paying attention while painting my 30k Death Guard

They're both awful!

And I wasn't upset with you posting that - I'd never shoot the messenger!

They are both awful, but it’s a slightly fresher take
No worries, didn’t think you were!

Me too. I have a couple of major 30k projects on hold for that rulebook.

Did they give any new details on the big hover tank?

Possible price or release date?

Well I have no major projects on hold due to that rulebook but just due to general lazyness(or rather going through my pile of unread japanese books. Figured I might want to try to make a dent to that before next trip least I buy more books in a year than I read!). But really need to get working on those blood angels(now about that primarch model...). Got them, got the airbrush paints for them, then blam complete painting freeze. Beah!

Oh and also I would like to get those custodians painted. I rather like how liquid gold from vallejo works. PAin in the ass to work with but stunning gold.

It isn't too bad if you just have a dedicated set-up for it. Plus, if you haven't thrown an agitator into your pot, do it asap. I have a few iron tacks in mine and it keeps it from caking on the bottom.

A shame they stopped making Liquid Gold. It really was a great product.

They did WHAT? Sorry about offtopic but this is actually rather big news for me. They really stopped doing it? No more? Are there alternatives or should I go to local paintstore(that on spring had lots of them) and get several bottles for ready?

Doesn’t look like they’re gone; maybe someone got confused because they moved from the model paints catalogue to the fine arts catalogue?

army painters gold is much better imo. And I know alclad makes a super top notch gold. Everything else I use valejo air. Be ready if you go army painter it needs a fair bit of flow improver if you want to airbrush it on. Don't airbrush alclads stuff indoors either

Phew. One reason I liked going to vallejo over GW is stability. I hate, hate, hate when paints change. I don't "finish" armies. I don't have "I get X points and army is done". End result is models can be added years later. I have ran into trouble with GW paints that changed and I was then trying to figure out alternative paints to replicate what I had done before.

ScaleHobbyist, which is where I sourced mine, says it is discontinued. And Vallejo doesn't sell on its site, so it could be there still for reference.

They have gone over to a new metal color range. I find it not nearly as good as the Liquid Gold series was. I do not recommend it generally, since the Vallejo Game/Model Air lines are superior.

Probably enough about that in the Forgeworld N&R Thread?

Maybe a separate thread over on P&M?

Yes?

I'd be so happy if it was Adeptus Titanicus - and even more so if it was a true and proper return of Epic, the only real scale that makes sense for 'mass battles' as GW would like us to play them, with Titans and Super-Heavies and what not!

I think it was the only scale which could properly convey the huge scale of the battles, while Apocalypse just seemed ridiculous. I always wished 40K would go to either d20 or d100 so we could better distinguish the relative strengths of each unit. A multi-decade genetically altered post human with humanities most advanced targeting aids have the same BS as a veteran Guardsman was always strange to me.

Blimey! Forgeworld remembered that their are other races!



Are those the old Air Caste pilots they used to have out at one point in the past?
