Forge World Newsletter #362

The weapon sets are quite nice I suppose. The Legion accessories I must admit I'm indifferent to...There's some Games Day UK news as well...

Sons of Horus Legion Upgrade Sets
The gangs of Cthonia, from which the Sons of Horus recruited many of its warriors, had a profound influence not only on the Legion’s character but also its appearance. In battle its wargear would often be adorned with spikes, Cthonian glyphs and additional armour plates, leaving those it unleashed war upon in no doubt of its savage ferocity.

Designed by 
Alfonso Giraldes, the Sons of Horus Legion Mk IV HeadBody and Shoulder Pad Upgrades are a great way to theme and customise your Sons of Horus power armoured infantry. These models are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 30th September.
Mk II and Mk III power weapon sets
The warriors of the Legiones Astartes are the Imperium’s elite, and their officers are commonly equipped with the finest wargear imaginable. In the 41st Millennium, the Armouriums of the great Space Marine Chapters contain many war-relics, ancient weapons with histories as noble and storied as the battle-brothers that have borne them into combat.
The Mk II and Mk III power weapon sets, designed by Will Hayes contain a huge variety of weapons and equipment. The kits comprise of ten melta-bombs, five pairs of arms, three Phobos-pattern bolt pistols, three power fists, two lightning claws, two power axes, two power swords, two power gladius, one sheathed gladius, two chainswords, two hand-flamers, two plasma pistols, two Volkite Serpentas, a thunder hammer, a power maul and a heavy chainsword. This cornucopia of wargear is perfect for use with our range of resin Space Marine Infantry, and is also fully compatible with Games Workshop’s plastic kits. These models are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 30th September.

Games Day UK
Forge World will be attending UK Games Day, held on Sunday 29th September at the NIA in Birmingham. The head of Forge World Tony Cottrell and writer Alan Bligh will be holding two seminars during the day. Games Day attendees can pick up free tickets for these seminars at the Forge World Designers stand on the day. The first Seminar begins at 12 noon and the second seminar is at 2:15pm – both seminars will contain the same presentation.

As part of our Games Day UK previews, we have a feature on the Forge World Visual Feed about the Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion – Ferrus Manus. In our latest video, designer Simon Egan talks about how he created the model of the Gorgon and how it can be incorporated with Fulgrim to form a stunning diorama.

You can also watch Edgar Skomorowski talking about Erebus and Kor Phaeron, our trailer for The Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre as well as a video of writer Alan Bligh talking about what you can expect to find in this forthcoming book here.

Ferrus Manus, the latest model in our Horus Heresy Character series, will be available to purchase on the day, along with The Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre, Erebus and Kor Phaeron, and the Tau XV107 R'varna Battlesuit. There will be a limited quantity of these pre-release products available at Games Day UK, so we suggest that you turn up early at our Sales stand to avoid disappointment.
