Forge World Newsletter 249 + 250

For those of you who care about such things



Hi there,
We are now only a few days away from
Games Day UK, and the Forge World office is under a mound of packaging and bubble wrap, not to mention a massive stack of Reservation orders! This week’s Newsletter has two more exclusive Games Day pre-release kits for you, more details about the lavish displays that will be showcased on our Studio stand, and a reminder about our exclusive Seminars.

Thanks,
Ead Brown

Pre-Releases Available in Limited Numbers at Games Day UK:

Necron Tomb Stalker
Necron Tomb StalkerDesigned by Will Hayes, the Tomb Stalker is a previously unseen type of Necron construct. This intricately detailed full resin kit can be constructed in a huge variety of dynamic positions as you can see in these images, and is supplied with a sprue of plastic necron green rods with which to complete construction.

Armed with potent Gauss weaponry and razor-edged talons, the Tomb Stalker adds a devastating mix of firepower and combat ability to a Necron army, and Imperial Armour writer Alan Bligh has put together a set of experimental rules for this sleek and ancient instrument of destruction, that are available to download here.

Exclusively available as an advanced pre-release at Games Day UK, this technological terror is priced at £36 and will be available in limited quantities.

Grot Mega Tank
Grot Mega TankDesigned by Stuart Williamson, the Grot Mega Tank represents the pinnacle of Gretchin-built Heavy Tank technology; an overpowering war machine that drives all before it in a storm of scrap and destruction. This full resin kit is festooned with unique details as you can in the images, and Stuart has designed each turret to be fully cross-compatible withDaren Parrwood's Grot Tanks.

Hammered together out of junk, spare Mekboy know-wotz and unbridled Grot enthusiasm, the Grot Mega Tank adds even more firepower to the battlefield madness that has come to be known as a Grotzkrieg, terrifying Imperial Tacticians, Eldar Farseers and Chaos Warlords alike. Taking a brief break from his work on The Badab War Part II, Alan Bligh has created a set of experimental rules for the Grot Mega Tank that you can find here.

Exclusively available in limited numbers at Games Day UK, this devastating war machine is priced at £62.

'The Future of Forge World' Seminars at Games Day UK
Head of Forge World Tony Cottrell and Studio Manager Owen Branham will be hosting an exclusive seminar, ‘The Future of Forge World’, at Games Day UK, which will be held in the Westside Bar in the Arena area.

Tickets will be available for FREE on a one per person, first come, first served basis as soon as the NEC doors open. As the title suggests, the seminar will focus on future projects on the Forge World schedule, from Imperial Armour books to resin kits, and it will feature a Q&A session in which you can grill Tony and Owen to your heart’s content!

There will be two sessions on the day; Seminar One will be held from 12:00 until 12:45 and Seminar Two will run from 1:00 until 1:45. Each running of the seminar is strictly limited to 90 tickets, which will be available from Games Workshop Customer Service staff located at the entrance to the Westside Bar, near the entrance to Block 12 of the Arena. You can download a map of Games Day here. We also have a new catalogue supplement sheet which you can download here.

Design Studio Displays and Designer Showcases
In addition to sculpting and designing a fantastic array of resin vehicles and infantry, Forge World’s Studio team also produce some incredible, must-see terrain boards for use in the photography work featured in the Imperial Armour books.

This year, you can marvel at the full range of these boards, including the staggeringly vast Siege of Vraks ‘Sector 577-449’ display as featured in Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume I.

You can also see the Inquisitorially-classified Anphelion Base Complex built for Imperial Armour Volume 4, as well as the Imperial Armour Volume 8 Kastorel-Novem Ork Mek city that forms the Studio’s most recent display terrain project.

We can also announce that Simon Egan, the sculpting legend behind Lugft Huron, Sevrin Loth and the Khorne Daemon Prince and Herald, among many other detailed resin models, will be showing off his recent projects and will be happy to answer any and all questions about the delicate art of sculpting.

Warhammer Forge

Warhammer Forge Exclusively Unveiled at Games Day UK

Rick Priestley and Forge World sculptor Mark Bedford have spent the past few months masterminding a brand new project, a long-awaited foray into resin products and detailed expansions for Warhammer, The Game of Fantasy Battles.

Warhammer Forge unveil a veritable horde of work-in-progress resin kits as well as early layout copies of the first in a series of lavish expansion books for the very first time at Games Day UK.
You’ll be able to see the staggering range of resin models that have been created over the past year, and Mark Bedford and his intrepid in-house sculptors
Keith Robertson and Steve Whitehead will be available all day to answer any and all questions you have. These intricately detailed models are some of the finest yet produced in resin, adding an incredible depth and breadth to the existing Warhammer range.

Rick Priestley will be on hand to explain his future plans, and Book Production Manager Paul Rudge and Graphic Artist Sam Lamont will be displaying a dizzying array of their incredible work-in-progress example pages from the first Warhammer Forge book, and some phenomenal artwork from Games Workshop artistic stalwart Adrian Smith, as well as everything from single page vignettes to concept sketches and full-colour cover art.

The Warhammer Forge Studio team will be located right next to the Forge World Design Studio stand in the Arena – a map of Games Day can be found here.

You’ll be able to quiz the whole Warhammer Forge design team on the future of this exciting new range, and as an added bonus two of the resin kits on display will be available as advanced pre-releases from the Forge World Sales Stand in strictly limited quantities – details of exactly what these are will be unveiled at Games Day, so don’t miss the Warhammer Forge Studio Stand!
