<lb:prodname></lb:prodname>Steel and Fire:
<lb:description>They caused quite a stir when previewed at Games Day UK, and now that the finished article is ready for release, I think youll agree its been worth the wait; the Death Korps of Krieg Grenadiers are here in all their grim glory.
We have two initial releases for the Grenadiers, the Death Korps of Krieg Grenadier Squad which comprises ten carapace armoured Grenadiers; seven with hellguns, one with a flamer, one with a grenade launcher, and a sergeant with chainsword and hellpistol.
Our second release is the two-man Death Korps of Krieg Grenadier Heavy Flamer Team, which is intended to be used as an additional upgrade for the Death Korps Grenadier Squad.
Fulfilling the roll of the Progenium Storm Troopers found in many Imperial Guard formations, the Death Korps Absolution regiments use their Grenadiers as heavy infantry soldiers to spearhead attack waves, storm fortified positions and smash through enemy defence lines. Full rules and unique options for Death Korps Grenadiers will be forthcoming as the range expands.
Personally, I can`t heap enough praise on these models to be honest, -they`re just so damn good: Not only do they exhibit the extraordinary quality of detail you`ve come to expect from the Death Korps, but these grim killers capture the dark and merciless nature of the Krieg wonderfully. Theyre a perfect expansion to the Death Korps and I`m quite sure that they will become a truly iconic part of the range. In fact, I can see them gracing many a gaming table and collection in the future, and not just as part of a Death Korps army, but used as Storm Troopers for Inquisition forces, in Armoured Fist squads, Guard armies using the heavy armour doctrine and many others, theyre just that good!
More cool Death Korps of Krieg will be coming soon.

<lb:prodname>Signs of Chaos</lb:prodname>
<lb:description>As a counterpoint to our ever-expanding Krieg range, we also have the release of our <strong title="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/chaosrenmilacc.htm">Chaos Renegade Militia Icons & Assault Weapons pack[/b]. This pack contains a variety of shotguns, pistols, combat blades and grenades (including a petrol -or should that be promethium bomb!) as well as several suitably horrific chaos icons and standards. Although obviously intended for use with our own Renegade Militia, this pack will equally be of interest for anybody with chaos cultists, Traitor Guard and Lost & Damned armies, not to mention Inquisitorial retinues and Necromunda gangs for the weapons. As for myself I`m planning to have some of the icons adorning my Iron Warriors vehicles!

Return To Weathertop
By popular demand we`ve managed to get hold of a few of our famous `Lord of the Rings` terrain model `<strong title="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/lotr/lotr-weathertop.htm">The Ruined Watchtower of Amon Sul on Weathertop Hill[/b]`. As most of you will no doubt know `Weathertop` is the sight of one of the most crucial encounters in `The Fellowship of the Ring` where Frodo, Strider and the Hobbits are attacked by the terrible Ringwraiths. This fantastic model measures over 400mm across and is faithfully detailed as it was sculpted using many photos and plans supplied by New Line Cinema. This lovely piece of terrain will only be available while stocks last.

<lb:prodname>Graceful and Deadly</lb:prodname>
<lb:description></lb:description>The grav-tanks of the Eldar are justly feared by their enemies and unlike the clumsy war machines of other races, the Wave Serpents, Fire Prisms and Falcons of the Eldar are as graceful as they are dangerous, and have the option of a wide variety of weapons and upgrades. With the ongoing upsurge of interest in the re-vitalised Eldar range we thought it would be a good time to re-release of our <strong title="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/wsturrets.htm">Wave Serpent Weapons Turrets[/b] and the <strong title="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/eupgrades.htm">Eldar Vehicle Upgrade Pack[/b]. As well as providing you with the option of alternately configured weapons turrets for your Wave Serpents to take advantage of the different Eldar heavy weapon types, they are constructed in a different style to the turret found in the plastic kit and can afford you greater variety in your force. The Eldar vehicle upgrade pack allows you to represent all the vehicle upgrades in the Eldar Codex on your skimmers. We`ve also left the component that represented the old crystal targeting matrix in the pack, although this upgrade is no longer in the codex, you can still use this `Eldar bling` to personalise and convert your grav-tanks.

**jdp**

Those are some nice models. I like the icon bearers for the cultists, especialy the guy holding up the victim, gruesome stuff but kinda what you expect form cultist loonies.

The grenadiers rock, I wouldn't mind a squad or two of those backing up my steel legion or as the core of a new DK army.

The two man Austrian style heavy flamer team is fun, but I'll need to see the army list before I buy something like that. Hfs are just to hard to shoehorn into a guard list I don't think anyopne is going to buy DK as DW vets.

Now I want to see the Centaur they said would be coming out next!

**bigchris1313**

Eldar bling. Heh.

I like the DK, but I don't just love them. Not enough for the price, anyway.

**Drake_Marcus**

Ok, now this is a great set of pictures

All of those grenaders are fantastic! I love the embossed skull detail on the gas masks is great. I also love the crude design of the extra armour- it really fits with the cruder look of the regiment.

The traitor kit is really neat too- I love the symbols and extra acessories in that kit, although the banner is a little lack-luster. I'm surprised they didn't bother doing some different torsos, especially in the case of the commander(-ish) model.

The eldar things arent's really my thing so they don't really spark my interest at all.

**Shattered Soul**

Jin-Roh soldiers! YES!!! I've found the perfect conversion fodder!

**Moopy**

The armor looks a lot like the WW1 german trench armor. I think it was used by machine gunners IIRC- I saw a suit of it at an war museum.

**spacewolflord**

I personally don't like the Genade Launcher that much, but other then that I think they are some great models.

**Captain Vyper**

those are just sick man, its just too bad guard die so easy, thats alot of coin to drop on figs that require so many to be fielded. great work none the less
