So seems FW retconned that text out then seeing it's been shown in HH art. IA2 2nd edition isnt' all that new book now is it?

Released January 2014 from what I recall.

Finally, something that isn't gold space marines, doors, or doors for your gold space marines:







Still not terribly impressed with the Nazgul, but the other two look fine.

Yeah, the Nazgul are pretty meh with their similiar stances and their short legs.

Hey 1985 called they want their nazgul back

They're the Nazgul from the third Hobbit film. I like those designs. I don't like whoever is painting for FW does their very brush-y highlighting. Up close it's not great for photos.

Seriously! Who approved these!? They look like '80s Ral Partha stuff.

If you squint the Nazgul kind of look like Space Marines. I mean, dudes in full armour wielding silly weapons... you know, because we know Pere loves Marines so much.

I honestly think GW's original Nazgul minis they did themselves were much better than this. They shown much more imagination and made them really look like kings, from different cultures at that, not nine generic mooks in really impractical armour being virtual carbon copies of each other...

New Line Cinema. Who has to approve everything before it can be put into production.

Well, the design is based on the Hobbit movies like H.B.M.C. said.
But it's still a boring and bad execution.

And yeah, the GW ones are still much better looking.

Hey, at least we can repurpose their weapons for our Space Marines right?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The models are overall just kinda meh outside the ones with horns though. The one with horns is just ghastly.

Don't worry, that'll be next week when Valdor is released.
I'm looking forward to Valdor so I can place my big order.

I love the designs in the film, but the models are very average. Someone sculpted their own a while ago which are much better. These are all in the same pose, I remember them being pretty dynamic in the film.

Really liking the Ringwraiths, might be my first purchase in 10 years for LOTR

Yeah the designs in the film are decent, but the execution of most of these new models is poor. Some of the weapons are also terrible for a truescale setting like LotR. The huge mace and the weird flamberge polearm especially.

You can blame Peter Jackson for those.

They have final approval yeah but thats normaly on design matching .actual quality of the sculpt and pose etc would still come down to forgeworld

I know, they still look ugly. I can't shake the feeling of 'catholic priest in black skirt badly cosplaying medieval ages with random bits of cardboard armour sprayed silver thrown on top'

Valdor

Yay! I cheer, while my wallet cries, as I plan out the Custodes order I'll be making tonight.

Termite is here!



£75 of your hard earned. Not bad. Lots of rules including for 40k

Also, for April, spend over £100 to get free shipping.

Not sure if FW understands 8th edition. This thing has to set up outside of 9" and has basically all 8" guns. Units embarked don't auto-disembark so they basically waste a turn.

I guess it's interesting that it does a mortal wound to nearby enemy units but unfortunately most players understand now how to prevent "deep strike" from being too effective.

It's atleast a relatively unique option for CSM but seems totally pointless for SM.

It's not really made for 8th they just do rules to keep the parent company happy, it's a heresy vehicle and one to be respected.

Well it was designed in 31th millenium when there was no moral handicap at burrowing under the enemy and causing damage to them on top of that! And if you wanted some range 15" volkites were of help.

Not FW's fault Imperium decided in 41st millenium that driving under the enemy is unethical

And hey GW doesn't understand either with plenty of deep striking units having access to flamers(hah) and meltas(hah)

Last chance to buy FW paints, what the hell?
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-EU/searchResults?N=2278076619+3872922800

Or will they actually remake them in dropper bottles?
If not, I'm grabbing like 3 bottles of Angron Red, Castellax bronze, Iron Hands steel. Those are soo lovely!

I lold at the fact the Mechanicus cant use it in 40k.

I want one for my Underhive setup. Have it crashed somewhere.

Wot? That's...bummer. Hopefully just redoing style as I have no idea how I would do sons of horus vechiles then without altering look from previous models. going to be some serious work on finding equilavent vallejo colours or repainting old ones to new version.

Etched brass plates going as well. Maybe they're not big sellers? I know i can get the Vallejo Air paints as well as the Tamiya's a lot cheaper than those especially after the crippling Forgeworld postage tax.
