FW #211 - Event only DK mounted Commissar, Reaver parts

Spack · by **Spack** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:05 pm

Hello There,
We have quite a lot of news for you this time, but first off we`d like to say thanks to everybody that came to see us at the Salute show in London on Saturday and for making it a great event for us. Today we have some sneak previews of some of the new models you can see at our Open Day, announce our new events only model for this year, and we have two new Reaver Titan weapons for you to pre-order and a change in the way you can buy your Reaver from us.

Thanks
Alan Bligh

Forge World Open Day 2009
Forge World will be holding it`s annual Open Day at Warhammer World in Nottingham on Sunday the 5th of April and admission is free. All of Forge World will be present including our sales and customer service team, and our designers to answer your questions and show off what we have in store for you over the next few months. This will include a pre-production copy of Imperial Armour Volume Seven, The Siege of Vraks Part 3, new Daemon Engines for Khorne and Nurgle, a new Daemon Prince and Herald, some future Ork models and more. We may even have a few of the new models for sale on the day in very limited quantities. So in order to further whet your appetite here is a sneaky preview shot of one of the new models that you`ll be able to see, and perhaps buy on the day!

We’ll also have some great participation games for Apocalypse and our always popular ‘40k’ scale Aeronautica Imperialis, and we will of course have our sales stand with lots of stock!

Our charity raffle this year will be for no less than a massive Warhammer 40,000 scale Mars Pattern Reaver Titan. Tickets will be £1 each and all proceeds will be donated to Children In Need, so one lucky customer will get to walk away with a brand new titan for the price of a ticket!

We will also be holding a painting competition; bring along your painted Forge World models, and the one we select will win a Forge World trophy for you to take home. Entries will be judged based on quality and interest, rather than size, and if you enter a converted model, it should primarily be made from Forge World parts.

You can find more information about the Open Day on our events page Here.

Forge Worlds Events Only Model 2009
I can unveil our events only model for this year`s show season, which is our Death Rider Commissar for the Death Korps of Krieg, designed by Mark Bedford. This fantastic model, which comes with alternate arms, will be available only from Games Days and other shows we attend this year, along with some of our previous Show Only models while stocks last.

A New Way to Purchase Your Reaver Titans
Along with our two new Reaver Titan weapons we have decided to make our Mars Pattern Reaver Titan available in separate component parts, much as we do with our Dreadnought range. This will enable us to expand our range more easily in future and help out our many customers who have asked to buy different weapon options more freely.

So from now onward, we will be selling our Mars Pattern Reaver Titan in the following way

Reaver Titan Body
Carapace Mounted Apocalypse Missile Launcher
Laser Blaster
Gatling Blaster

Mars Pattern Reaver Titan Power Fist & Melta Cannon
New to pre-order for release the week commencing Monday the 27th of April are two fantastic new weapon arms for our Reaver Titan. The Melta Cannon and the Power Fist. Designed by Will Hayes, these are multi-part weapon arms and look suitably menacing and impressive on the model as you can see Here in an example painted by Phil Stutchinskas in the colours of the Legio Astorum from the Siege of Vraks.

Rules for the Mars Pattern Reaver Titan can be found in Imperial Armour Volume 6, the Seige of Vraks Part 2.

New Catalogue
We at Forge World are currently preparing our new 2009 catalogue for release at the end of April. If you`d like a free copy, which we will send out at no cost to anywhere in the world. Just send a email with your full name and address details to forgeworldcatreq@games-workshop.co.uk or give a ring and we`ll take your address details and get you one sent out when the catalogue is released.

About time they put titan weapons separate. The melta cannon and powerfist look excellent! The commissar is great too, but I don't need one thanks Dan!

it does now mean i can buy it in installments!

they should set something up like that, not finance, just like a savings accounts and when you reach the amount they send the items out

I just had another look and it says it can be built as a left or right hand, so now I want to buy a body with legs ,two arms, and model it so it's reaching down to pick up puny mortals. :twisted:

Save me.

Couldn't look at it too closely, brought back too many bad memories!
