I promised you all another newsletter earlier this week, so here it is
and this one is just crammed full of new models!
I’ll kick off with a few things we have mentioned in previous
newsletters this time.
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/dasymbols.htm 40K Dark Angel Icons. These
really are sweet little sculptures from Simon Egan and allow you to
personalise your vehicles even more. I can see a use for these icons on
Dark Angel banners too. I’ve used Warhammer Orc plastic banners on my
Dreadnoughts before and this works really well. Just cut out the icon you
want and heat it in some hot water till it goes a bit soft. Then just
fix it to your banner with a little superglue. There you go, the basis
of an excellent Marine banner!
The Forge World range of Tau BFG spaceships has proven incredibly
popular and we are committed to making even more excellent Tau ships in the
future. Do you want a look at Will Hayes’s latest creation for this
exciting range?
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/castellan.htm The Castellan
escort is roughly fifty percent larger than the Warden we released late
last year and if you want to use it in games of BFG we would recommend
using the same rules as a Tau Defender.
While we’re on the subject of Tau, click here for more of Will
Hayes’s work,
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/epicorca.htm and here too,
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/epicskyray.htmWith the resurgence of Epic
40K and the popularity of the Forge World Epic Tau range it was
impossible for us not to make the Orca Dropship in this smaller scale. Even as
an Epic 40K model, the Orca measures about 3inches/75mm long! The Tau
also gains a potent anti-aircraft weapon with the introduction of the
Skyray. It is becoming very difficult to resist getting a new Epic 40K
force with the new models we are making. Must resist! Need to buy food
this month!
There are some new rules available for using Tau in games of Epic
Armageddon available to download here,
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/downloadsepic.htm Now here is something BIG!
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/helltalon.htm This is the Chaos Hell Talon fighter-bomber, the latest creation from the
desk of Daren Parrwood which measures in at approximately
370mm/14.5inches long! The Hell Talon is armed with a twin-linked Lascannon and
either a Havoc Missile Launcher or an Autocannon. It can also carry up to
eight Incendiary bombs with which it can create a swathe of destruction.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/downloads40k.htm Simon Egan helped on this project by making the crew, giving us something
so detailed it is almost a shame to hide them inside the craft. I Please
note that in these photos of the master model, the canopy looks to be a
solid block. Production canopies will be frames that you can insert
perspex windows into just like many other Forge World models.
All of these models are available to pre-order at
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/QUATERMASTERS_STORE_NEW_STUFF__11.html for release week commencing March 1st but we do hope to have some
available to buy at the ‘Cry Havoc’ show at Warhammer World in
Nottingham on February 29th.
That’s all for now folks. Speak to you all soon.
Thx,
