You had that option for literally years, did you not want it then?

Well I didn't stock up on a lifetime supply. I still like to add models to my army. Did you buy enough to last you? Or do you just never intend to expand your army?

The thing is, Forgeworld's thing used to be making stuff that the main studio couldn't. With the main studio now able to turn out plastic titans, Forgeworld needed a new direction.

And, quite frankly, I suspect that Heresy marines sell considerably better than most of their previous releases.

Why I think some of us ancients are bitter is that the Imperial Guard in particular used to be one of the best-served Forgeworld ranges, with two complete model ranges with drastically different playstyles and variant army lists (three if you want to could the Vraksian renegades), plus countless tank variants from Cyclops to Stormblades. Most of those models are gone now, and it's been several years since the last new one was released (and the impression I have is that no more will ever be released, either).

Forgeworld did make things the main studio couldn't do. But now they've stopped, and for the most part those things are no longer done by the main studio either. If it was important to GW, we would have gotten plastic Death Korps by now. And I haven't seen plastic titans around either.

**Smaug**

Some of the Death Korps figures have been released by FW, maybe there is hope for the rest.
I think insaniak meant the AT titans. Although those are done by Specialists Games not GW main studio.

Road to Thramas pt3:

So far in the Road to Thramas, the Dark Angels have had things their way. That ends today, as it’s time to take a look at the Contekar Terminator Elite from the Night Lords Legion.

Contekar Terminator Elite

When the VIIIth Legion needed butchers and murderers of the highest calibre, they unleashed the Contekar Terminator squads. With recruits taken from Nostramo’s ruling elite, they would only fight for leaders they deemed worthy of their attention. In fact, the Contekar would often be dispatched to wrest control from Night Lords whose commanders thought them unfit for the Legion.

Armed with heavy flamers or volkite cavitors and Nostraman chainglaives, they are going to bring abject despair and destruction to the Thramas system. The Nostraman chainglaive, in particular, is going to slice through a lot of Loyalist Space Marines.

You can take full advantage of the Contekar Terminators by fielding them as additional Elites choices as part of a new Night Lords unique Rite of War – The Cross of Bone.

With new Rites of War, new units and new characters, The Horus Heresy Book 9 – Crusade will allow Night Lords players to persecute their war of terror across the galaxy on an unprecedented scale.

Legion Arquitor Bombard with Morbus Heavy Bombard

This Horus Heresy campaign book also adds extra units for both sides in the bitter civil war. We’ve already seen the graviton-charge cannon version of the Arquitor and the spicula rocket system has been deployed. Now, it’s time to show you the standard* version of the Arquitor, armed with the devastating Morbus heavy bombard.

Be sure to pick up an Arquitor for your Legion before the Death Lord gets his daemonic hands on it…

The Horus Heresy Book 9 – Crusade will be released later this year, as are the Contekar Terminators and Arquitor with heavy bombard.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Terminators looks pretty neat. Rite of war is interesting, but I'm not entirely sure.

**Marshal Loss**

The description for that unit reads like plagiarized Atramentar.

**Nah Man Pichu**

I like the gothic-looking window motifs around their collars. It looks like a darker reflection of what we've seen on the Dark Angels releases!

FW replied to a comment on their FB page stating that this unit is evidently part of the Atramentar.

They’ll probably have one of those red boxes that explain that the most renowned Contekar unit was the one under Sevatar called the Atramentar

It’s the other way round.

‘Hey Joseph - Atramentar describes the entire first company of Night Lords and this is a specific unit within that. So basically, these guys are both!’

Aren't those just a bunch of arrows?

Hmmmmm.... Maybe

**Alpharius**

...I do like your idea better though!

**Agamemnon2**

I like the idea that the Aquilor Bombards eventually end up inspiring the Death Guard. Like the link between the Vultarax and the Blight Drones, that kind of thing always makes me happy.

**CragHack**

Is that actually a chain-volkite-fist?

**Slayer-Fan123**

Those Terminators made me rock hard.

They're missing the iconography that denotes them as being members of the Atramentar. I wouldn't be surprised if FW's FB team is just reacting to criticism by lumping them together in this fashion. Glaring omission aside, they are lovely models

**Gadzilla666**

I. Need. Those.

Love the chain weapon on the volkite. Also notice their in Tartoros pattern armour just like the Praetor? But why do they describe them as being armed with Nostroman chainglaives when neither model is?

Rules have been edited to be "Nostraman chainblades" now. No +1S

**queen_annes_revenge**

I like those termies. I dont think the weapons look very night lordy though.. maybe have to convert them. another minor thing that bothers me is the VIII on their belts.. I feel like the top and bottom horizontals would look better solid rather than seperated. will have to see how they look in the flesh.

Maybe new Transfers this week? Seems like they've put an advert on their frontpage but no product.

Dark Angels and White Scars with the Emperors Children sheet returning:

Wait, is the EC sheet just a re-print?

Also, ooh la la... Those Night Lords

simply too lovely. Really tempted by these, as the other minis in the range are so nice, too...

**zedmeister**

I believe the Emperor's Children sheet is actually new and not a reprint.

Glad it's not just me. Something about it just looks....off. Not bad tbc, just off. It looks like something that wouldn't look out of place on an Ultramarines model, which is about as far from NL as you can get.

The closest analogy I can think of is writing a whole document in Ariel and then signing off in Times New Roman. It just doesn't fit the rest.

Otherwise fantastic models, glad they got the love they deserved.

Adeptus Titanicus Warlord-Sinister is up for pre-order on Friday, so hopefully the full size 30k one isn't far off...

We are still waiting for some of the arm and carapace mounts in 28mm that have already been released.

Just looking on the FW site (UK) for Malevolence and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know if it's just temporarily out of stock or if it's gone now until they get round to a paperback release? I know it's been out a while but the hardback HH books normally hang around for a bit longer than that.

FW refuse to give us any info about the books. They won't even say definitively that they are planning to do paperback versions of all the existing releases. It's infuriating.
