Actually the vehicles aren't bad at all - E40k prices for some of them. 3 for a fiver.

And I love the Basilisk model - so much better than the Armoured Basilisk junk they are doing for Epic:A.

I too read the newsletter and became intrigued. I am looking forward to new Epic models, and an Orca will be so cool! As for special characters, wasn't there talk of a Yarrick and Gazkhull? They would fit in well with Epic:A, and look very cool!

Cheers

Chris

I have all the Epic F/W Tau & Kroot, as well as all of the F/W Epic IG, Orks and 'Nid Harridan plus most of the Epic buildings. A bit pricey ... but I sell off my extras !   :;):

I would agree with you Tom, just depends on how much they go for, it will be interesting what Ewen has to say in next weeks newsletter if that was really the schedule that they are keeping to.

Hi!

That is my complaint too. Tau vehicles are priced okay, but the infantry is WAY too expensive.

I would like a set of different heavy weapon for various armyes.
Let's say a strip of 6 Heavy weapon marines to make variations in the squads, and the same thing could be done with orks, IG, and even eldar platforms.
On similar lines, some strips with various officer (as i paint space marines, i think about the sergents, but it may be done with ork nobs, IG commissar and officer, etc).
I know i would pay some money just to add variety. I don't have illusions anymore about complete new sets of infantry (Iit would be great to have say 5 differently positioned marines !), but some variation for "special" minis would help add character to stands, if not individual minis.

Character would be great, I know i would certainly paint some as single pieces for the sake of spending a whole week one a single 6mm mini :)

If this is to be done, i know i would be disapointed, cos thoses minis would probably look better than my various conversions, but i would want to have it anyway :)

As a sidenote, i don't receive FW newsletter (seems that their mailserver have problem with my mailbox), could someone please put the whole newsletter here ?

Hi!

Their news letter service is somewhat unreliable. I getting only occasionally no matter how many times I subscribe.

That is the problem with WIll Hayes - He's too good. Anything you can do, he can do A LOT better.

He's just scuppered one of my plans for next years Golden Demon. We talked via email about various projects & both took inspiration from one topic a while back. I've been working on it for a while, but he mailed me a week or two back having come up with a new piece that outclasses my own work 10:1. so depressing :{

Before anyone asks, I'm sure you'll see it soon from FW - I cant say or post pictures at this time.

I'm lucky and always get the NL, but I'm always ordering Epic F/W, so they know me ($) !!! :;):  I'm guessing we won't see H/Wpns, since they already make them in the current and passed Epic lines, but who knows ?!  However, I'm sure we'll see Commanders, Commissars and personalities, etc.  Maybe Yarrick, Ghazgul, Maj. Schaffer, etc., etc., either way I'll buy'em ! :p   I'm so predictable ! :laugh:

Hi!

I usual buy in bulk from FW, maybe once or twice a year when it suits me. I wouldn't pick up any personalities though, they are beyond the scope of what I consider epic.

Thats why we abolished them from netepic, although optional rules for them still flutter about.

-Then you won't have every Epic scale model ever though Primarch.... ?:;):

For Athmos, the latest newsletter:

*********************************************

Ha-ha! I have once again regained my rightful place as Master of Newsletters and have cast the foul upstart Winson out into the gutter! (In my mind!) To be honest, Dean and the other guys are mega-busy right now putting Xmas orders onto our shiny new computer system and I jumped at the chance of writing another newsletter.

I've got three main subjects to run through today; Christmas ordering, a great new Tyranid model for 40K and a list of lots of projects our designers and sculptors are working on at the moment.

I'll get Christmas ordering out of the way first and I promise to keep it short and sweet. We can still take mail orders for delivery before Christmas if received by Monday December 15th. Orders for delivery outside of the UK will have to use our EXPRESS DELIVERY service to get it there in time but we can still get your order to you, stocks allowing. You can place your order online as usual but if you have any concerns please give the guys on the Forge World phone lines a call on 0115 9416 8177 so they can help you.

Take a look at this little beastie folks, and remember there are two pages of pictures there, don't miss out! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/wingedht.htm Simon Egan, the man responsible for all our other Tyranid monstrosities, has been quietly working away for the past month or so making us this cracking Winged Hive Tyrant. The model has a wingspan of over 12 inches or 300mm if you prefer.
It has been armed with a Venom Cannon, implant attack tongue thingy and of course razor sharp claws on its feet for shredding opponents in a melee. The Winged Hive Tyrant is available to pre-order now and will be sent out week commencing January 26th.
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalo....11.html

The boss has said that I should be able to show you some pictures of some of the following projects in our next newsletter, which I should get out to you later next week, so don't stray too far from your inboxes!
Space Marine forces can look forward to a whole host of static weapon systems, Tarantulas of course. We are just putting the finishing touches to three different variants, armed with either Lascannons, Heavy Bolters or a Multi-melta. There are also three new Razorback turret conversions using the weapon systems from these Tarantulas too. We are also doing some more Chapter Icon packs too.
Daren Parrwood, the man who gave us the Imperial Valkyrie, is working on an amazing looking Chaos Fighter-Bomber and Daniel Cockersell has made us two more of those fantastically popular Kroot Knarlocs, one of which has a big bolt-thrower thingy on it's back.
The ships and space stations we have made so far for BFG Tau have been amazingly popular, so of course we are working on more ships right now.
Since completing the Winged Hive Tyrant, Simon Egan has been working on a set of standing Imperial Titan crew, (without their Titan) which are just too detailed to be believed. Simon has also been working with Will Hayes and the two of them have just completed a Psycannon arm and a close combat arm for Grey Knights Dreadnoughts.
Epic 40,000 gets even more of our beautifully detailed models "de-bigulated" when we release a Skyray and Orca for the Tau, a Thunderbolt for the Imperial Navy and a promise of special troop types and characters too.
There have been a few rumours on the 'net about us making a big Bloodthirster.
Well they are all untrue. We are making a MASSIVE Bloodthirster, which at the moment has an axe which is roughly twice the height of a Space Marine Dreadnought. I think that counts as MASSIVE, don't you?
Warwick Kinrade occasionally surfaces from his little room with fists full of pages for Imperial Armour Volume 2 which details Imperial Space Marine, Sisters of Battle and Inquisition vehicles in the 41st millennium. In fact he has surfaced so many times this autumn to give us a book of well over 200 pages, and he hasn't finished it yet!

Speak to you soon folks.
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

****************************************

..The winged Hive Tyrant is pretty cool don't you think?  :)

Just realised.

In case anyone was wondering - the MASSIVE Bloodthirster is not for epic, its a warhammer / 40K scale piece.

Mind you, it would make for a REALLY Massive epic bloodthirster I guess (images of blodthirster juggling Imperator titans for fun...).

Hi!

You could use that bloodthirster model as a "warped" chaos titan though.
