Forge World: Horus Heresy Releases

As the title says. I was surfing the net and it was only today I noticed that Forge World has released the Horus Heresy Book 1 for sale (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/THE_HORUS__HERESY_BOOK_ONE_BETRAYAL.html).

From what I can see, there are no "Advance Orders" whatsoever, which means you can order and receive the book whenever it arrives without a worry.

In addition, the first of the Primarchs is also up for orders!! Angron of the World Eaters has been released. You can also get him without needing to wait for Advance Orders or Pre-Orders, least I can't find it saying anything about Advance Orders (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ANGRON_PRIMARCH_OF_THE_WORLD_EATERS.html).

 

Personally I'm waiting for both Leman Russ and Horus himself. Tho I might get Angron for my 40k World Eaters army. I've got a few conversions that I'm currently doing (a Havok Squad). However I'm also waiting to get my hands on the new Chaos Space Marine Codex. That way I know what to actually arm them. Also so I can build some Khorne Berzerkers (I'm not too sure if I ACTUALLY have to arm them with axes so that they may pass the "WYSIWYG" test [What you see if what you get]). Cos that's being really pedantic if I have to arm them Chain Axes. With Chain Axes: Does that mean Khorne Berzerkers armed with a Chainsword cannot use a Khornate Chain Axe?

(AWESOME) Chaos Space Marine Release

Games Workshop have just released (via their website) a whole host of Chaos Miniatures PLUS the new Chaos Codex!! I'm sooo relieved it's Chaos getting their Codex and not crappy, shitty, evil, untrustworthy Dark Angels.

Anywho, enough of me blatantly showing my hatred for Dark Angels and trolling them. Time to check out the Chaos Models.

On Games Workshop's Advance Orders (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCatsLarge.jsp?catId=cat440160a&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k) are: Actually, instead of listing them. How about you just click the link.

Now you can listen to (more appropriately to read) me rant on some of my favourite stuff from the Advance Orders :)

Games Day Australia 2012

Taken from Games Workshop's Website

Just got back from Sydney, and I tell you, it was perhaps the best holiday I've had ever!! Mainly due to Games Day Australia. It twas a brilliant event where I got to meet some awesome people, name Jes Goodwin, Jeremy Vetock and Henry Zou (apologies if I spelt their names wrong, never been good with spelling names/surnames). This was actually my first ever Games Day, so it was a nice experience. The Forge World store saw a huge amount of action (spent an hour there including the queue). The Black Library Section was also awesome, and I picked up 2 out of the 3 Posters. I would've loved to have grabbed the 3rd, but it was sold out just before I arrived.

10min after I bought the 2 posters, they were sold out. Each poster was signed by their respective artist too.

The Forge World products I picked up were of fantastic quality, I picked up no miscasts so far. A little warping, but that's cos of the packaging. It's funny, that the quality at Games Day is much better then that when ordered. Good news, I now have the parts to enact my plan, to collect a World Eaters Warband. The army list can be found over at my deviantArt http://sgt-thaddeus.deviantart.com/#/d5dpgir.

Check out the images I took of the Armies on Parade, some boards were overdone (like the Deathwatch one) others fantastic, like the Carcharodons army. It was the Carcharodons board which stole my vote, too bad they didn't win.

These were the only good photos. The rest were taken with shaky hands. I tell you, don't eat the food there... EVER!! It was horrible! After one bite I felt sick and had food poisoning. Nurgle might've got his lapdogs to poison it...

So basically that day, I just didn't bother eating anything till dinner (I skipped breakfast to make it there early and wound up being the [approximately] 400th person there).

Kingdoms of Amalur (Weapon Collection) 1 - The Longbow

Well, seeing as how I did an Kingdoms of Amalur (Armour Collection) - which is still not finished - I thought I might start on a Weapon Collection. One of all the rare weapons that I have found one of my many playthroughs. Remember, for me, trying to acquire each of these rare weapons is by chance. So if I come across them, then I'll take a screenshot.

Anyway, to start with, here are some rare Longbows that I have encountered on my Dokkalfar Rogue.

Heresy-Era Sons of Horus

As per my previous post, I mentioned something about me and collecting Sons of Horus. With rumours of a new Chaos Space Marine Codex and with Forge World announcing their Horus Heresy Books, I figured; forget the Luna Wolves, it's time to collect something with a bit more flair, and go with their changed name/colours.

The Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus are perhaps one of my favourite Legions (specially cos of their story and the Horus Heresy novels). So what I reckon, is that I shall be collecting the Sons of Horus,11th Company. As far as I know, the Sons of Horus have 25 Companies, with about half of them with their own story and fluff. So I thought it be much more fun to create my own story and fluff in relation to some of the un-named companies, hence the 11th Company.

But hey, you probably don't care about anything that I'm saying, instead you want to see pics. So here they are:

Warhammer 40K: Dark Vengeance Advance Orders are up

Image from the Warhammer 40K: Dark Vengeance Starter Set

The new 6th Edition Starter set for Warhammer 40K has just been released. However I am slightly disappointed with it. I don't mind the idea of Dark Angels vs Chaos Space Marines (Chaos should win of course), however the set is completely unbalanced. Look, we've got on the Dark Angels side; 10 Tactical Marines with a Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon and the Sergeant has a Plasma Pistol, 5 Terminators with an Assault Cannon, 3 Ravenwing Bikes (or whatever the hell their names are) with a Plasma Gun/Plasma Pistol and 3 HQs!!! All Chaos have is a Dreadnought look-a-like, 6 Possessed and 10 Guardsman (actually Chaos Cultists, but they still have paper-thin armour).

Sorry for the lack of postage...

Really sorry for the lack of posts. Hell it has been a heck of a long time since I last posted something. So guess what!? I'm still alive and kicking! Not dead yet. Tho it is true I've been inactive on both my deviantART and my blog.

Anyway, my humblest apologies. The truth is that I've been concentrating on uni (I'm hearing someone scream out bull****). Right so actually I've just been waiting patiently for ebay products to arrive. Products as in parts for my Heresy-Era Terminators and some other extra parts for some MKV Squads.

Yes, I shall be "attempting" some MKV Power Armour Conversions. And you read that right. So MKV? Why MKV? Luna Wolves never had access to MKV Power Armour. Well, the Luna Wolves have been scrapped for another Legion Army. I'll give you a hint; read the rumours on the Legions that shall be appearing in Forge World's Horus Heresy Books. Also read the rumours of the new Chaos Space Marine Codex. Sooner or later you'll see what Legion I shall be collecting ;)
