Forge World Newsletter #183


big new super heavy tank...

++++ MESSAGE BEGINS ++++

Hello All,

Welcome to the second of our promised Games Day preview newsletters and it`s less than a fortnight to go before the big day itself. We have three great new previews for you this time, all of which we hope to have available at Games Day UK, and are available to pre-order for despatch the week commencing the 9th of October.

Thanks
Alan Bligh

Death Korps Quartermaster and Servitors

First up for our previews is the much anticipated Death Korps of Krieg Quartermaster and Servitors. The quartermaster serves a unique role within the Death Korps in administering the Emperor`s Mercy to those fallen warriors too injured to carry on the fight, and is accompanied by specialised servitors to help recover and redistribute the wargear of the slain. Designed by Mark Bedford and Simon Egan, these are some fantastically detailed models, and the set features a wonderfully sinister quartermaster with skull mask and ribbed chest plate, three decidedly gothic and funereal servitors and a single unfortunate Death Korps ‘casualty.’ As well as being useful for your Death Korps army, the set would make a great vignette in itself!
Rules for the Quartermaster and servitors can be found in Imperial Armour Volume 5 The Siege of Vraks, and you can find more pictures of them here. The Quartermaster and servitors is available to pre-order now for release commencing the 9th of October, and we hope to have a limited quantity available for sale at UK Games Day.

Macharius Super Heavy Tank with Vulcan Mega Bolter

Made to reap through the enemy like a scythe through ripe wheat, this Macharius is the first super-heavy tank Forge World have produced to use the powerful Vulcan Mega-Bolter, a weapon more usually found on Titans. The tank’s massive firepower is perfect for destroying enemy troop formations and whole squads of like vehicles in a single volley, and will stand players in good stead in their future games of 40K Apocalypse. The model designed by Darren Parrwood is certainly another fine addition to our range of tanks, and I particularly like the distinctive compact double-barrelled turret which looks particularly mean!

You can find more pictures of the new Macharius with Vulcan Mega-Bolter here, and experimental rules for the tank here.

The Macharius with Vulcan Mega-Bolter is available to pre-order now for release commencing the 9th of October, an

Tau Remora Drone Stealth fighter

This sleek looking drone aircraft for the Tau emphasises their philosophy of high speed, mobile warfare and protecting the lives of their troops. An autonomous drone unit designed to provide air cover for the Tau forces and conduct lightning strikes, the Remora can be deployed independently or dropped directly from a specially modified Tau Tiger Shark Bombers and Mantas, the wings on the model fold up to allow it to be stowed and carried this way.

You can find more pictures of the new Tau Remora here and experimental rules here.

The Remora designed by Will Hayes is supplied as a pack of two complete models, and available to pre-order now for release commencing the 9th of October, and we should have some available at UK Games Day.
