More Horus Heresy From Forgeworld

Forgeworld are at it again with more Heresy era Marines. We must be getting very close to the next book as more and more new units are being released...

 A rather uninsprirational release this Friday

Reaver squads in many ways epitomised the Sons of Horus Legion’s way of war. Heavily influenced by the tactics used in the incessant tribal warfare of Cthonia, Reaver units specialised in lightning-swift assaults which maimed and disabled their foes; striking down leaders, and mercilessly cutting down any who were weak or isolated. Each Reaver unit, whether squad or entire company in strength, was effectively a warband in its own right, and its warriors fought more as individuals than regimented soldiers, and all were utterly lethal against the enemies of Mankind during the Great Crusade. 

The Sons of Horus Reaver Squad, designed by Alfonso Giraldes, is a multi-part resin kit containing five incredibly detailed Space Marines, five bolt pistols, five chain axes, a power fist, a hand flamer, five helmeted heads and one Sergeant head. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.

If fighting is expected to be at close quarters, such as in boarding actions or trench clearance, Tactical squads can sometimes forgo the standard bolter in favour of the combination of a bolt pistol and chainsword, allowing the Astartes more manoeuvrability in whatever tight confines they may find themselves in. These more assault orientated units are referred to as Despoiler Squads within the Legiones Astartes. 

The Legion Mk III Despoiler Squad, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five Space Marines armed with bolt pistols and chainswords. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.

The Legion Mk II Despoiler Squad, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five Space Marines armed with bolt pistols and chainswords. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.

The Legion Mk IV Despoiler Squad, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five Space Marines armed with bolt pistols and chainswords. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.


But then this is just around the corner...

So my spidey senses where right. Something was up with the Carnosaur! and the terradons where a dual kit. Plastic character as anticipated. Pictures to come...

Lizardmen Confirmed for August

Just hearing now that Lizardmen are confirmed for August!

Its sounding like only two new plastic kits, something called a Bastidon (not sure on the name) which is a big monster kit priced the same as the Phoenix, and there is "the flying things" which are most likely Terradons.

There is some finecast characters and apparently the Carnosaur is re-released in finecast as well - Need to check up on this one further as the Carnosaur is already in Finecast

Oh yeah, new book and magic cards.

Will post more when information comes in.



Just some surmising here, but there exists the possibility that at least one of the plastic kits are a dual kit, as the release looks a little light with only "two" plastic kits so far.

Reviewing the history of 8th edition releases there has not been a release with less than 3 plastic kits. Chances are there is something else in the mix.

 I am sure more information will come to light over the next few days.


Latest Rumours HERE

More Horus Heresy Releases from Forgeworld

We all have seen the previews of both of these models at Forgeworld Open Days, and now they finally have released them...

New Javelin Attack Speeder

Larger and more heavily armoured than the common pattern of Land Speeder, the Javelin Attack Speeder is a nigh-irreplaceable relic of a bygone age 

of technological mastery. Gravitic nullification plates, the secret of whose production and maintenance have long since been lost, allow the Javelin to 

mount an array of heavy weaponry more akin to a heavy tank destroyer than a nimble Land Speeder, allowing them to make pinpoint strikes on enemy 

armour or infantry with devastating lascannon or missile barrage. Those Chapters of Space Marines whose histories stretch back into the grim days of the 

Imperium’s founding may, if they are fortunate, still possess a few justly revered Javelins within the sanctified depths of their armouries.

Its a decent sized model!

Whirlwind Scorpius

An ancient variant of the more common Whirlwind missile tank, the heavily armoured Scorpius was designed with a single purpose in mind – the 
destruction of heavily armoured infantry. The Scorpius variant replaces the Whirlwind’s multiple missile launcher system with the intricate drum-fed 
scorpius launcher, whose implosive warheads are devastating to armoured infantry and light vehicles. The Whirlwind Scorpius’ origins lie in the dark days 
of the Horus Heresy and, in more recent times, it has become an all but forgotten relic amongst some Chapters as the ability to manufacture its complex 
munitions has become a forgotten art, but for other Chapters it still remains a potent weapon of war.

 So form all this, the next book is just around the corner. Judging by all the new paint jobs Iron Hands and Night Lords will feature prominently.

New Basing System from Puppets War

Puppets War have released a clever new system of interlocking bases aimed squarely at the Warhammer Fantasy Battle market

The system itself appears to be similar to that found in products like Tablescapes by Secret Weapon Miniatures or tetralink.

By using an interlocking "dog bone" system on the underneath of the base they form a ridged frame for you to rank up your infantry

In addition these bases are plastic so they are sure to be of uniform size and spacing. Thats has been my one biggest problem with the square resin bases in the past

They are offered at the very reasonable price of 5.99 Euros + 4.99 Euros shipping worldwide. Thats $10 NZD + shipping. Not bad at all. 

So far they are only available in 20mm size but hopefully other sizes are just around the corner

Can anyone say no more movement trays???

For further details go have a look at their website here
