Love Slagmyst, a great sculpt.

I must question the painter's sense, though. The guy is all-armored, with lots of implants and random bits of flesh replaced by metal, yet his most delicate and vulnerable part, hands, is for some reason bare. Even the two other gang minis from this release wear gloves despite lots of exposed skin, why would you paint hands as flesh when it sticks out like a sore thumb?

The details on the hands are clearly meant to be skin. This is an instance of him just painting things as directed.

Yes, as Tim the Biovore says. Almost certainly intentional. The background on the webpage makes a specific point of his hands:

His hands – apparently the only part of him still fleshy – poke out from under the robe, clutching his gun.

From a painting point of view, the pale skintone is also providing good, eye-catching contrast in a complex area that would otherwise be confusing. Having bare hands against the similarly-toned gun and cloth makes it much easier to 'read'.

Looks like the free shipping offer has been extended due to "Popular demand".

They also have several Solar Auxilia bundles on sale, though some are out of stock straight away, GG.

Real shame about the Rapiers. Maybe a bundle could have saved them? Also, looks like the terminte has been insanely popular

IIRC Rapiers were in a previous bundle? I like them, I want them, but they were a bit too pricey for my tastes.

Don't remember seeing a bundle. At least not in the last year or so.

IIRC it had a squad of Veletaris, Charonites and Rapier(s).

Hopefully there’s still the £100 free shipping when Alpharius is released.

As of typing, not seeing any new releases, though they have updated the Last Chance to Buy section: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/searchResults?N=663703071+4198382931

Much to the delight of some unoriginal comedians, a lot of Space Marine upgrade packs and the Black Shield decal sheet will be phased out.

Blimey. Now that's unusual. Though, I can understand why as they are very pricey. It's been suspected that those packs, along with doors, were healthy sellers (You've spent £240, here's a pack of shoulder pads to take me over the free shipping threshold). Maybe they weren't as big a seller as we thought.

This month, when you buy a Contemptor, Leviathan, Deredeo or Mk IV Dreadnought and two weapons, we'll give you the second absolutely free.

Shame the transfers are going always wanted a set but never had the funds spare. So are we going to get whole new sets of legion specific stuff?

Also does Forgeworld not deliver to the rest of the Netherlands? Was looking at GW main earlier and noticed that they know about the Netherlands...

Very nicely that dread offer for the Deredeo gives the most expensive option free! Really surprised at that.

Mostly torsos and the alternate sets (invictarii for UM) going away, as well as the bundle deals.

Weird. The one that really hurts me is the Sons of Horus cataphractii one. Chest upgrades I can live as those makes only sense for h2h armed guys anyway. they are nice and I might have bought for next h2h power armoured guy but won't be too heartbroken without. Shoulder pad that was lost I used for characters so that's bit annoying but at least basic one still stays. But cataphractii one...Ouch. Will look silly when I get my terminatos 11-15 without those then.

edit: Aww that dreadnought deal. Would be nice except postage will eat almost all the savings :( 4£ saved for leviathan only due to postages. And don't have 250£ to spare now.

edit2: Oh free shipping is now 100£...That's actually more tempting. Deredeo+leviathan would be 110£ saving total of 32£. Much more feasible now than 250£ and 32£ savings starts to feel.

Rest of the Netherlands?

No FW products if you live outside of the Randstad!

So they make "Pop Goes The Monkey" stop selling his 3d printed shoulder pads and now stop selling them themselves?

Why are they stopping to sell HH upgrades? I do not understand this ...

There was an (unverified) rumour that was bounced around that says Forgeworld had requested an increase in warehouse space which was denied. So, if true, they're trimming the slow sellers from their lines. Lets face it, these aren't necessary to collect 30k, especially with the transfers. They're nice to haves. Though, looking at posts on a few other forums, you'd think Forgeworld just "last chance to buy'd" the Spartan!

Just bought 2 sets of Thousand Sons upgrades :/

Looks like a load more bundles and a few more pads have just gone up

I'm sorry I'm pretty confused right now. What are they thinking doing this? Some of these molds aren't even a year old? I'm getting my transfers for other legions and titan while I can. I bet those are going next.

The sculpted heads and torsos are a big deal. I agree losing the shoulder pads is no biggie, but the rest is all pretty sad.

I second that. First they trash the Elysian and now this.
All the ranges for 40K are being reduced if not axed alltogether.

What are they planning to sell?
Lord of the Ring (no offence intended) ?

There's ONE(ultramarine specific unit) that goes away. Bundles goes yes but that's probably because part of it goes away. They would have to do new bundle to replace it with 2 out of 3(or 1 out of 3) left on sale.

Torsos? For anybody with bolter/special weapon those aren't even visible. It's the least interesting part I find. Shoulder pad meanwhile those are visible on every model.

Well for sons of horus after removing 5 kits they remove there's still 149 items to sell...I think they have enough things to sell.

Guess items didn't sell enough to justify selling them more. They aren't in this for charity.

A shame. The White Scars legion helmets where really really cool.

Shame that upgrade sets are going but it's hard to be too sad when there was no chance of me buying any of them.

This is really disappointing... I'm just starting a Salamanders army, and I was planning to use FW pads on every. single. model and torso upgrades on all sergeants. I even got a sprue of mkiii marines to make sure that the legs and arms are in keeping with the torsos.

I only have 20 of them, but if they're going away, I'm going to have to rethink things....

Edit: evidently, the mkii shoulder pads are the only ones being discontinued. Mkiii and mkiv are safe for now. The loss of torsos is a big deal for me, though. I might have to pick up another pack long before I was ready to do so.

People as he noted note that it's not every single upgrade kit going. Specifically MKII are the ones really going away. MKIV are fairly safe(sons of horus lost one of the 2 they had but still has the primary one). Some MKIII kits are also going.

It's not "no more shoulder pads at all".
