I stopped e-mailing Forgeworld a long time ago. I think they are swamped with mails, so it takes them way too long to answer. Calling them is much faster.

My order didn't ship for one month, as I had some Alpha Legion stuff that got sold out before my order could be shipped. I got info during the phone call that those kits would be re-casted to fill those last chance orders, but that could take months to get finished. So I asked for those parts to be removed and refunded from my order, and send the rest. The guy did that during the phone call, fast and easy.

So call them, that always goes a lot better in my experience.

Looks like another round of Last Chance to Buy is up. Doors, MkIV Dreadnoughts and some Razorback parts

I imagine the next thing we will get is the Alpha Legion, inless they are saving them for the run up to the next book. Theres also another tank for Solar Auxilia (if im remebering right), Jenetia Krole, a few more Talons things I believe, and then theres a slew of Characters they could release, not to mention the Talons IA, Fires, and the HH book.

Then a lot of Blood Bowl around when they plan on releasing the Dark Elves, such as the boosters and cheer leaders. I think we have all the big guys for the teams they have in the official section of the almanac, right?

Theres also the Hobbit foot knights of Dol Amroth. I think there was a few other things, too.

Van Saar and Orlock weapon kits for Necromunda, not even mentioning the big guys and hirelings for that.


Edit: speak of the devil, the alpha legion is up.

Alpha Legion arrive:

Good thing I ordered my UM ven dread and Chaplain dread during the deal they were having, since they hinted they were going to during the email two weeks ago. Doesnt seem like the Asscannon Razorback turret is going away, just the HB,
MM, most of the Dreadnought stuff and a few underselling doors, i expect.

Stunning miniatures, although:

Umm... no. I think you mean replace their gun with the Conversion Beamer.

Placing my order tonight. Alphy + 2 squads of Lerneans. Gonna be great!

Urgh, painful. I really hope this isn’t dreadnoughts losing the majority of their wargear options in future updates. The only non-chapter specific HQ dread too.

I think that's inevitable and lamentable.

I normally don't care at all about official paintwork, but did they just forget to fully paint the axes? The back of the blade and the top of the shaft just look like they were basecoated the same as the rest of the Terminator but not otherwise touched.

The dreadnoughts going doesn't surprise me. Regular dreads ain't good at all. FW have made sure normal dreads have no place with their special dread ironically.

I picked some of the UM dreads and a chaplian dread up. Dreads will be good one day!

I noticed that the new termite is avalaible in the online store under the
Renegade & heretics category.

Interesting to me because apparently it is only avalaible to chaos marines in 40K.

Since no other chaos marine unit is avalaible in this category (even the 2 flyers are not there)
does this means that the reference sheet is wrong, or did I missed something?

Looks like most of the items are now marked as sold out. Just a few bits left

I ended up "having to" get a Chaplain Dread as I have always wanted to field an all-dread army...

Tune in Wathammer twitch today, they might say or show something interesting. Or, maybe, at least say when Arvus and Angron are going to be back in stock again

Do we know the time for the stream?

Yes.
4 pm. licensing preview. They will probably show those yoga pants.
5 pm. Chat with Tony.
6 pm. Live battle, UM vs AL.

That’s UK time, I assume.

Q&A with Tony has begun:

Some thoughts and facts:

*The moderator should be someone who actually knows what Acastus Knight is, how Cyraxus is spelled and what armies are going to be featured next. It just doesn't sound professional.
*Lots of "not now, but in the future".
*867 viewers.
*Lots of Praetors coming in. Was BA praetor revealed? If it wasn't, it was done now.
*Ordinatus Mole is a physical thing.
*The's something bigger that did not fit in the large orange box they brought in. Maybe psychic Warlord?
*Heresy is not dead and most certainly stay 7th, because they think that it's more balanced for Heresy, and having many different gaming systems is a great thing.
*They remove models that can be somehow replaced or will be replaced. Plastic MK2 incoming?
*Chaos Warhound needs remolding.
*They don't want to do orks and eldar, because HH is about civil war. There's a possibility for other aliens, but there's SO much work to be done, it's just not likely to happen.
*Made to order, as long as it was not replaced by something else. So, probably, no oldschool Lightning, but maybe Macharius Omega and the likes.

Just FYI, most of the 'last chance to buy' stuff for dreadnoughts is already sold out.

Most of the stuff has already gone by Monday...

CragHack sums it up pretty well. New Blood Angel Praetor here:


While I did appreciate the enthusiasm about Horus Heresy, and the whole "Heresy lives!" thing, they really didn't give us anything new. We got to see the Mole, and a picture of the Praetor above. I mean It's better than nothing, but all I heard was excuses. Why are things taking so long? Why are things disappearing? They sound so happy about Horus Heresy, and they really seem to love it, but it just doesn't show in the release schedules in my opinion.

Oh well, it was a good time mostly, just a bit underwhelming I suppose.

As far as the questions went you could have asked a magic 8 ball and mostly got the same answers.

I love how they make praetors in terminator armour for nobody to use. It’s like they love heresy but...

Hopefully this week will have a good chunk of releases. Or it will be more lord of the rings.

To summarize the live broadcast:

-Pictures shown of the Blood Angels Praetor

-confirmation that "Many" legions will be receiving new Praetors (White scars were specifically mentioned

-More details of Malevolence (Empowered daemons, Psychic relics, Blood Angels, White Scars, Alpha Legion)

-Next book will have Dark Angels, Night Lords

-Confirmation that all daemon primarchs will have models from forge-world. And possible secondary versions of Loyalist Primarchs

-Discussion of lots of the models shown at the last event.

-Horus Heresy IS NOT GOING TO 8TH EDITION (thank the dark gods)

-No new plastics coming out as of yet.


Hopefully didnt miss anything, but thats what I took away from it.

Well, the black books usually are a big driver of releases, and as The Eagles said, we haven't that spirit here since 1969. I'd look for a burst of releases in 2019 with book VIII (because it's good policy to add at least 3 months to any timeframe that FW gives you).

It also seems clear enough to me (others will certainly disagree) that HH will continue to putter along and be supported with cool stuff, but probably will never become a near-core game like it seemed it would a couple years ago. Alan Bligh's passing has a lot to do with that, but I also think it's getting lost a bit amid GW's hyperspeed release schedule. Add it all up and it's understandable that the excitement/momentum/juice doesn't feel quite like it did a while back.

Really? That seems like an about face. Not long before Magnus was revealed, someone from the FW team coyly answered a question about daemon primarchs by saying that the technology was there to do them in plastic instead. Post-Magnus, the assumption by most was that FW would just let GW handle the daemonic versions. Which have been pretty spectacular models. I'm not sure why they'd do resin versions as well...?

Yey. Excelent news. Now hopefully they will have will to finetune it even better.

*They remove models that can be somehow replaced or will be replaced. Plastic MK2 incoming?

Uuuu. Heart says yes please, wallet says "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Hopefully less overblinged models so those who like quality rather than bling for bling's sake can get one.
