Forgeworld Newsletter #264

Postby Baragash » Fri Feb 11, 2011 5:39 pm

:)

Hi There,
We have a newsletter packed with Imperial Guard releases for you this week: a brand new super heavy tank, three new detailed infantry upgrade sets and two new transfer sheets. We also have more information about our first three events of 2011, and we’re also making a few changes to the process of placing Reservation orders for the Open Day, so read on for more.
Thanks,
Ead Brown

Malcador Infernus Heavy Tank

The venerable Malcador chassis, a precursor to the Leman Russ battle tank in the Imperial arsenal, is capable of mounting a wide range of devastating weaponry. The Malcador Infernus is one such variant, and is armed with a centre-line Inferno Cannon capable of engulfing the enemy in a storm of burning promethium. The Infernus is a powerful weapon deployed both against enemy fortifications and massed infantry.
This resin and plastic kit, designed by Phil Stutcinskas and Daren Parrwood, will be fully detailed in Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara, published later this year, but we have managed to secure these experimental rules that you can download now.
The Malcador Infernus is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February

Cadian Hostile Environment Conversion Sets

Many worlds in the vast Imperium of Man boast conditions inimical to human survival, yet are critically important due to the mineral wealth they contain or their strategic worth. Imperial forces fighting in these deadly warzones rely on hostile environment equipment to enhance their body armour and survive.
The Cadian Hostile Environment Conversion Set contains 10 resin torsos, sculpted by Stuart Williamson and Mark Bedford, for use with the plastic Cadian range of kits available from Games Workshop.
Mark and Stuart have also sculpted the Cadian Hostile Environment Plasma Squad which contains enough resin torsos to build three Special Weapon teams, and again is suitable for use with the plastic Cadian range.
The Cadian Hostile Environment conversion set and Plasma squad are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February.

Imperial Guard Transfer Sheets

Two new A4 decal sheets are also available to pre-order in this Newsletter – the Imperial Guard White Vehicle Transfer Sheet and Imperial Guard Black Vehicle Transfer Sheet. Each contain well over a thousand individual decals including regimental insignia and blazons, kill markings, vehicle names in different styles, and also feature both the Aquila and Machina Opus symbols – a plethora of different decals to truly individualise your Imperial vehicles.
Both the Imperial Guard Black Vehicle Transfer Sheet and the Imperial Guard White Vehicle Transfer Sheet are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing the 28th of February.

Forge World Events News

The Forge World Open Day, Nottingham – 3rd April 2011

Sunday the 3rd of April 2011 is the annual Forge World Open Day at Warhammer World here in Nottingham. The Open Day will run from 10am until 4pm and as always will be free to attend. The facilities of Warhammer World, including the world-renowned Bugman’s Bar, will be open as normal.
There will be two studio stands at this year’s Open Day, allowing both the Forge World and Warhammer Forge teams to fully showcase work-in-progress projects, recently released kits and even a few forthcoming models that haven’t yet been announced! Also occupying the two Studio stands will be the Forge World Book Design team, who will be showcasing final proof copies of both Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara and Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos.
We will also be bringing you a sales stand packed with the Forge World and Warhammer Forge range, our Charity Titan Raffle, fantastic participation games and our annual Open Day Painting Competition, which will be judged on the day. Entries should consist of a single Forge World miniature or vehicle, which may be mounted on a display base if you wish.
We will soon be accepting reservation orders for collection at the Open Day, and in 2011 we are altering the system for placing these in light of the feedback we’ve received over the past year.
We will be taking payment for reservation orders in advance, which will allow us to set up a collection point for these orders that is totally separate from our main Sales stand. This will help to minimise the amount of time spent queuing as you’ll be free to collect your order whenever you like and enjoy the main event.
We’ll be announcing when we will be accepting reservation orders for the Open Day in forthcoming newsletters, so make sure you check your inbox and our Events Pages regularly.

AdeptiCon, Chicago – 1st – 3rd April 2011

Forge World will be attending AdeptiCon for the very first time in 2011. This event, held at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Centre in Chicago, IL, is one of the premier shows of the wargaming calendar, and we’re very excited to be attending.
Graphic Artist Kenton Mills will be one of the intrepid team that will be manning our sales stand at AdeptiCon. Kenton is a talented member of Forge World’s Book Design team, and his work can be seen in our recent, best-selling, Badab War series of Imperial Armour books.
Our stock will include limited numbers of all the releases announced in this week’s Newsletter, as well as the Plague Toads, Bile Trolls and Plague Ogres recently announced in the first Warhammer Forge Newsletter.
Reservations are now closed for AdeptiCon, and if you have placed an order for collection you should have received a confirmation e-mail – please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. We hope to announce more details about what we’ll be displaying at AdeptiCon in the coming weeks, so make sure you keep an eye on your inbox for future newsletters.

Salute, London – 16th April 2011

Forge World will again be present at the ever-popular Salute 2011, held at the ExCel Centre in London on Saturday the 16th of April. Our sales stand will be packed with Forge World’s range of resin kits, modelling supplies and Imperial Armour books, as well as the newly-released Warhammer Forge range, a few secret projects that we’ll be announcing in future newsletters, and elements of the Warhammer Historical range as well.
We will soon be accepting reservation orders for Salute, so keep an eye on our Events pages and future newsletters.
