Yay! Did they give any hints as to how many Riders there are in one pack?

No, I got cut short by the start of the next round of the tournament unfortunately lol

Sweet! Awesome news, can't wait to see the final work on those Deathriders. I'm willing to bet they will sell the individually and in packs of 2 or 3 like the Tallarn Ridingbeast. Good to hear they are coming out with more new troops, I'm getting bored seeing rehashings of existing units.

Col.Gravis · « **Reply #343 on:** March 12, 2007, 06:56:11 AM »

Ah ha, apparently according to someone else who was talking to them about the same subject over on Warseer theres a good chance they'll be released on the Fortge World open event in Nottingham on April 1st - guess we'll have to wait an asee.

I'm surprised ForgeWorld didn't just make a new resin head for the older unbarded/cloth covered horse plastic models. Would seem like the best way to do the mounts, IMO. I'm also glad to see them doing more stuff with Brass Rod, as it's certainly better than trying to keep resin rods in one piece.

Col.Gravis · « **Reply #345 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:31:01 PM »

Take a wild guess what this is below, yep, Death Riders - at last! I think that settles the fact they'll be shown at the Forge World open day next weekend

IA:5, "Imperial Armour Volume 5 - The Siege of Vraks" will be there to view.

Also to quote from the newsletter "or sightings of a completely new super-heavy tank in the Forge World Design Studio."

I wonder, I'm assuming Guard, I'm hoping Stormhammer...

Pity the Stormhammer isn't completely new. Here's to hoping for some super flame tank thing.

Col.Gravis · « **Reply #347 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:35:14 PM »

Depends how you read it, it would be completely new for Forge World afterall, I would'nt discount it - certainly to me at any rate seems to be a more obvious choice then creating yet another Super Heavy again. We shall see.

[dixon] · « **Reply #348 on:** March 28, 2007, 04:36:43 PM »

Oh, I'd like for it to be a Stormhammer too, as I'd pre-order one in an instant. I'm just too skeptical to hope for one seriously, I suppose.

Parak · « **Reply #349 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:39:01 PM »

A stormhammer would be cool, ut to be honest, I kinda want something completely different. I dunno what like, maybe an imperial bulk lander like the orca! I'd love one of those, only with weapons!

Catachan Devil Sniper · « **Reply #350 on:** March 28, 2007, 08:35:32 PM »

so...a stormhammer is like a baneblade but with more guns? i knew that the kreig will be put into a seige with some damn rebels. sad no one at the GW i play at doesnt play lost and the damned. i cant wait to see the new super heavy!

Chosen Man · « **Reply #351 on:** March 28, 2007, 10:43:01 PM »

I hear there was a sketch of some super cannon also made when this project was just starting....It could be a that...ala Pylon...

Also I wouldn't pass it by FW to drop the Chaos Renegade Militia a Super Heavy of their own. DkoK already got upgrade kits for all the other Super Heavy tanks in FW Line, and also the Gorgon.....CRM Is still techinally an IG Style army...

Locarno · « **Reply #352 on:** March 29, 2007, 07:23:42 AM »

Deathwheel, maybe? It's an existing Epic unit...

That would be ridiculous. And by ridiculous I mean awesome. Although I think it would hardly fit in a siege environment.

Locarno · « **Reply #354 on:** March 29, 2007, 11:07:54 AM »

Well...it's a chaos (so renegade militia) unit, not a Death korps one.

And you may laugh, but such an idea was mooted as a viable weapon of war, under the name "Gyro destroyer" for the very purpose of overrunning obstacles and trenches designed to thwart mere tanks with 'normal' wheels:

Valhalla114 · « **Reply #355 on:** March 29, 2007, 11:00:45 PM »

Its actually great for trench warfare because it can go into and out of trenches while keeping its guns faced forward unlike a tank that would point down. Unnecessarily. I hope chaos gets that. Its so stupid chaos awesome.

Lord Commissar Spiteful · « **Reply #356 on:** March 30, 2007, 02:09:41 AM »

LOL, that's from a 1930s Sci-Fi mag/comic!

I'll see if i can dig up the reference

Absolutly awesome, but so useless none the less! I love it!

Locarno · « **Reply #357 on:** March 30, 2007, 05:09:39 AM »

Hehehehehehe.......

Renegade Militia Ogryns! Aren't they cute?

Parak · « **Reply #358 on:** March 30, 2007, 10:30:41 AM »

No way. Chaos have better looking ogryns than we have. Wheres the justice!

It would kinda make sense that chaos get a new super heavy, still though, leavse me feeling like we need another one!

Col.Gravis · « **Reply #359 on:** March 31, 2007, 09:14:12 AM »

It's Imperial, its got at least a pair of large twin-linked big guns (scale wise I'd guess Battlecannon) in a turret and twin-linked Heavy Stubbers...
