Forge World Newsletter #185


another new big tank...

++++ MESSAGE BEGINS ++++

Hello Again,

Well, this will be our last special preview newsletter before Games Day UK and we`ve just about done with turning the place upside down with preparations for the event and have a final onslaught of new stuff to show you. All the previews shown in this newsletter are for new models, we are hoping to have some stock of at Games Day UK, but supplies will be strictly limited. However they are all also available to pre-order from us now, for release commencing the 8th of October.

One more thing to say is that thanks to our exhaustive preparations for Games Day and the constant demanded you all seem to have for our models (not that we`re complaining you understand!), we currently have a short delay in getting orders out to you and answering your emails, apologies to any customers who are waiting for their orders and we can assure you we’ll get everything to you as soon as possible.

Hope to see you at Games day!

Thanks
Alan Bligh

Death Korps of Krieg Commissar Models

First up and one sure to please Death Korps players who`ve been after them for a while are Death Korps of Krieg Commissar models. Although of course not actually Krieg soldiers themselves, these Imperial Commissars are outfitted to endure the rigours of the battlefield with their comrades complete with gas mask and rebreather. The Commissar`s role is to instil discipline in the troops and advise their commanders, as well as curb the Death Korps` “enthusiasm” where needed. We have two great Commissar models designed by Simon Egan, the first shown Here overseeing his troops, is a Commissar on foot who can be built with either a laspistol or power sword (both are supplied) and would make a great addition to any Imperial Guard force. The second is a Death Korps Commissar Tank Commander shown Here which you can use either for your Death Korps forces or Imperial Guard Armoured Companies.

Rules for using Commissars in your Death Korps armies can be found in Imperial Armour Volume Five: The Siege of Vrax. We hope to have some of each of these models at Games Day UK this coming weekend, and they are available to pre-order now for release commencing the 8th of October.

New Eldar Avatar & Wave Serpent Type II

New for the Eldar are a new variant Avatar model and the Wave Serpent II for Warhammer 40,000. The superbly detailed Eldar Avatar with Spear by Juan Diaz offers a variation in armament and pose from our other Avatar and comes supplied with a length of brass rod to form the spear haft. This model will appeal to those of you who buy our products just to model and paint as well as play games, as it will make a fantastic centrepiece for your display cabinet or diorama and would superb battling a greater daemon.

The Wave Serpent Type II designed by Will Hayes offers you a variation on the current plastic model that brings this sleek war machine’s style in line with our Falcon II and Scorpion super tank kits, and is available either as a Conversion Kit or as a Complete Model with all Wave Serpent plastics you’ll need to make a complete tank.

These models are perfect if you`re looking to expand your Eldar War Host in time for Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse, with the Wave Serpents adding firepower and manoeuvrability for your troops while the Avatar can smash apart enemy tanks with ease.
We hope to have limited quantities of both of these models available for Games Day, and they are available to pre-order now for release the week commencing the 8th of October.

New Aeronautica Imperialis Marauder Variants

Also available for pre-order are two new variant Marauders for our Aeronautica Imperialis game. These two which can see pictured Here, are the Marauder Vigilant and the Marauder Colossus and were designed by Phil Stutchinskas. The Vigilant is a specially outfitted long range reconnaissance aircraft, while the Colossus on the other hand is a heavy bomber, designed to carry a single bunker-busting bomb to smash fortified targets.

Rules for these aircraft can be found in our new Tactica Aeronautica expansion also available to pre-order now.

Both of these models are available for pre-order now for release commencing the week of the 8th of October, and we hope to have some available on Games Day.

Malcador Heavy Tank with Lascannons

We have another new variant of the ancient Malcador Heavy Tank available to order, this version which you can see Here features a twin-linked lascannon in the turret, a hull mounted demolisher cannon, and the sponson options of lascannon, heavy stubber and heavy bolter. A mobile fortress bristling with anti-tank firepower, this version of the Malcador specialises in destroying fortified positions and wreaking havoc with enemy vehicles. Deigned by Darren Parrwood the model is also supplied with both an Imperial Guard and Renegade tank commander, and is usable by either forces. I really like this model, there`s something decidedly old fashioned and industrial about it, making it a real ‘land battleship’ in looks.
The Malcador with lascannons is available to pre-order now for release the week commencing the 9th of October, and we hope to have a few for Games Day UK as well. You can find experimental rules for the tank here.
