nothing too earth shattering, but does seem to confirm the book for GD : Uk.

.. which is nice.

This is good and bad news.

Good that rules may be on the way.

Bad that it'll tempt me to a Heresy specific army.

So at the very end of that trailer... what are two images reflected in the eyes of that space marine?

yeah,
I can't wait.
I've started reading the books and just finished reading Fulgrim. The Black Library retelling is amazing, I soooo want to do something hersey era, the timing of FW could not have been better for me
The whole thing is such a sad tale..

Panic...

At least from that trailer it sure looks like Forge World is going to take all the stuff they designed and published as Badab War era models and now call them Heresy Era models. Which frankly I'm okay with since we all thought it looked like they were doing Heresy Era stuff anyway and just calling it Badab War era.

But if they do continue down this route it may indeed indicate that they're not doing some of the crazier OTT designs from the Visions of Heresy Books like those nutso awesome Heresy Terminator armor designs and sticking more to the stuff we've already seen for the Badab Era models.

If that's the case, then I'm sure a lot of people will be bummed out, although then again this is just a teaser so maybe they're hiding all the really wacky new (old) style designs for the full release.

Regardless, I'm certainly excited to pick the book up and read it. Its about damn time they got to the Heresy and they better make some awesome damn Primarch models (regardless of whether they're useable in the game or not). Its downright criminal that they've been putting out the awesome Heresy novels for so long now and they don't have Heresy and Primarch models to people to collect and paint!

Looks like Istvaan 3.

Leave it to FW to make everything superior to regular GW, including teasers.

Sounds exciting.

I'll have to organize that DCM FW Order sooner.

Not sure exactly (besides it being a marine of some sort). Here's a screen cap of it:

I wonder if the flashing images toward the end indicate which legions will be covered in this book, or if they are just coincidental? Looks like Emperor's Children, Sons of Horus and World Eaters. There is also a Death Guard tank, but it doesn't seem to be part of the same sequence.

The most important thing is... I don't see any Thousand Sons. Of course, I don't expect them to show up until the last book, anyway.

Games Day UK
Sunday 23rd September will see thousands of you descend on the NEC in Birmingham for Games Day UK. Games Day is first and foremost a celebration of the Games Workshop hobby and a chance to meet, and chat to, the famous faces of the Design Studio, Black Library and Forge World. Licensed partners such as Fantasy Flight Games and THQ also join us at Games Day to showcase their fantastic games and products.

Each year’s show also features a multitude of amazing participation games that you can dive into and take part in, from quick skirmishes to vast battles, as well as a massive sales area. It’s here that Games Day attendees will be able to get hold of pre-release copies of The Horus Heresy Book I: Betrayal for the very first time.

OK, so FW knows how to tease...


Seems good for the visitors of the real GD, so have fun fellow dakkanauts.

Until the price is as epic as the events in the heresy that it covers, I'll be interested. Maybe x-mas....

I just nearly punched my monitor with excitement, must...have...EVERYTHING!!!!!

The model in the Space Marines visor at the end, I'm 100% confident that it's Ferrus Manus.

Ferrus manus or Angron. The shoulder pads remind me of Angron more.

I'd like to see some guys designed like the ones flanking the Emperor. Not sure if they are Marines, some kind of Custodes or something else entirely.

It looks like we'll be getting similar helmets if that Emperors Children Marine is anything to go by.

Is it wrong to be more excited about possible new FW stuff when GW is just about to release the new starter set? Hopefully we will see some more models and not just the book, one can always hope!

My vote on that image is "Angron" as well...

And FW would be foolish indeed to NOT do Primarch models.


FW isn't foolish - so Primarch models should be in!

I hope so. my bank manager will hope not.

^^ Its Angron (note the head tattoos, The Butcher's Nails seem to be the version they're going for). I think its already been confirmed that they're doing the Primarchs (something like the quote being they'd have to do them if they were to handle the period).

Is that Legion specific armour sets I'm seeing? 0.o

I'm sure they will do primarch models, FW will sell a metric ton of them even at a $89 each price point

If you think an $89 price point is what they will set, then brace for $150.
It is a GW company after all....

I love that Primarchs will finally be done by GW ... and given the quality of finecast its better that they are produced by FW. But the downside is that I want them all ... not just Fulgrim, or Angron, or Ferrus Manus ... I want all 20 of them ... NOW

It's a helmetless, bald marine, in black armour with white shoulder pads reminiscent of the (I think) tartaros pattern armour. He's not looking directly at the cover marine, but out to the right side of the picture. From here detail gets a bit grainy though it looks as though he has some kind of(wolf tail?) talisman atop his armour, and in the right lens I'm not sure if I can make out a scythe, which makes me think Mortarion... I'm not seing a clear image of a PA style backpack, so I'm thinking whoever it is in Terminator armour.

You can see this too for the low low price of just £99.95 (extra costs may occur), and I'll send you a jpeg of the image. Alternatively you can hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and zoom in on your mouse wheel, focusing on the lenses, for free, but that doesn't make sense. Give me money people, come on, Games Days round the corner and daddy needs a shiny new Titan

It wouldnt shock me at all, my idea on $89 is based on the FW avatar. I dont expect the primarch models to be the same size as the avatar but if they can charge 90 bucks for a giant avatar then 90 bucks for a bigger space marine doesnt seem impossible. Plus after standing in line for fw at gencon and seeing the stupid amounts of money people handed over for models I would have guessed never sold...FW could prolly charge 200 for the primarchs and it wouldnt matter

If you zoom in on the pic that Yakface put up you can actually make out that what I thought was a wolf tail talisman is actually an Ultramarines omega sign (left click the pic, ctrl and mouse wheel you way on in).

There's also subtle differences between the 2 pictures -

- the one in the right lense is higher
- the one in the left lense seems to be looking a little more toward the viewer
- the one in the right lense looks to have another barely-there image plastered over the left hand side of the lens, this is what I took to be a scythe when I first saw it. Looking at it now it looks kinda like a back pack, though that doesn't make sense...

Within a 3 month span:

1. GenCon
2. 40k Starter Set
3. Chaos Book + stuffs
4. FW Horus Heresy books + (presumably) stuffs.

Man, I'm glad I have a good job....

Sorry to keep banging on about this, had another look at the right eye lens and I'm seeing Roman Numerals. First glace I saw XV, making me think Thousand sounds, then saw another X between them, making 25. Does that mean owt to anyone or am I talking bs?

Seems to be a second omega sign on his cuirrass, under (his) right shoulder pad

Sound enough reasoning there - that seems like a 'fair' enough price point without getting ridiculous in terms of a price so high that you will lose sales/struggle to justify it.

A FW Dread might be a more realistic price point, really.

We'll see soon enough though!

I see aquilas and drop pods.

Oh boy. That looks awesome. But hopefully they will have new lore 0.0

So exciting! The definition of a day 1 purchase.
