Hi, and welcome to the latest Forge World Newsletter. In this issue we are focussing on some of the big shows Forge World will be attending over the next few weeks.
Games Day Los Angeles is the first of three US Games Days Forge World will be attending this year. The event is being held on Saturday May 31st at the Ontario Convention Center, Ontario, California, from 10am till 7pm that evening. http://www.games-workshop.com/news....003.htm
Forge World boss Tony Cottrell will be hosting one of his very popular seminars, showing off new concepts and models, as well as taking questions from the audience. As usual this will be run in conjunction with Jervis Johnson from Specialist Games.
Games Day will of course be an opportunity for you to buy any Forge World models you may want. The lads in Forge World have been working very hard over the last few weeks to pack up a massive selection of models and kits and getting it all shipped over to Los Angeles for Games Day.
Forge World try to use big shows like these to show off new models and designs that we are working on, or have just completed and are about to release. Games Day Los Angeles will be no exception. www.forgeworld.co.uk/Gamesdayla.htm
Take a closer look at the Imperial Thunderbolt Fighter here, www.forgeworld.co.uk/thunderbolt.htm This new incarnation of the Imperium’s premier heavy fighter aircraft was the work of Will Hayes, the man responsible for the Necron Pylon and the Warhound Titans. For a single seat fighter the Thunderbolt is a surprisingly large model. It is significantly larger than say, a Lightning or Eldar Nightwing for example. I find the shape of the Thunderbolt pleasingly aggressive and purposeful, with the cockpit deeply recessed into the fuselage and that long, long nose. With four Autocannon and two Lascannon nestling in the nose, the Thunderbolt should be able to pack quite a punch in games of 40K too. Not only that, but the Thunderbolt has four under wing hard points for even more weapons.
The next of the very popular Chaos Dreadnought range has just been completed, (Yes, we do have more planned.), and we just took delivery of the first few castings of the new Alpha Legion Dreadnought earlier this week. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/alphalegion.htm
To combat these foul Chaos abominations, we have promised you a Grey Knights Dreadnought. So here it is, a conversion kit for the plastic Space Marine Dreadnought, http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/greyknight.htm
These three new models are available to pre-order now on the Forge World web store at http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalo....11.html for release week commencing 30th June, but will be available in strictly limited numbers at Games Day Los Angeles, Games Day Baltimore and Conflict London.
If you would like to reserve an order o pick up at any of these events we are happy to arrange this for you. Please email your list along with your name to us with one of the following titles, ‘RESERVATION – Games Day Los Angeles’, ‘RESERVATION – Games Day Baltimore’ or ‘RESERVATION – Conflict London’. All reservations will be held until 2pm at Games Day Los Angeles and Conflict London, and 2pm on the Saturday at Games Day Baltimore.
That’s all for today.
Thanks,
Ewen Little.
Forge World.
Cheers
Chris

hehe.. Just looked at this in my mail and was thinking of posting it myself.... Thunderbolt looks nice, very brutal and hard looking... I'm not quite so keen on the Grey Knights Dreadnought though, even so detail-packed as it is! 
..Guess it'll look great painted...
... I hope this is not " Jervis said not to release any F/W Epic until after E-A is out.", kind of thing !?
