Howdy.

I am going through my stuff ready for EpicA and, as usual, want some new stuff.  I've decided to get some forgeworld stuff, but dont know what.

For Epic I am short of decent terrain.  The races I prefer are Orks and Eldar, but they dont have much 'new' stuff for them.

I do have an Imperial Guard army, but its lacking in the armour area. (no russes, chimeras etc) and only has 1 warlord and 1 imperator.

Trouble is, I'm gonna give some of my guard army to my mate to paint up to try and entice him into the game.  So I'd be buying models for him.

I'm confused.  So there's the other option for anyone elses ideas.

I also have no chimeras for Guard, that can be under the Russes option though.

How about a couple of super-heavies? The Baneblades are really cool models (the size-thing aside).

Cheers

Arrgh.  That was meant to be an option too.  As a pack of three of those was the same cost as 1 warhound.  I was thinking of the storm ones.

What size thing?

Okay, I couldn't wait for the results.

I bought the defence line thing (fortification lines with two bunkers, so I now have actual objectives)

The ruined Librarium thing;

one pack of three guntrukks with zzap gun;

one pack of three guntrukks with armoured top.

I very nearly also bought a warhound and a pack of three stormblades? ?Luckily I was just able to bite my tongue.

I would have say : get the warhound, just because i think it's one of the most wonderfull minis ever done for Epic Scale; the main downside is that the molds are getting aged, and the titans i got recentlyhad way more flash and little default than the first ones.

About other models, i personally like their ork stuff very much; i love their fortification, but those are easier to scratch built than the minis themeselves.

Hi!

I had to vote "other", since I always want EVERYTHING.

Really?  The catalogue I have at home never mentioned it.  It made it sound like 1 for ?18.  I'll check out their website.  Not that it matters now.  :)

I have the defence line and the Librarium, they are really nice pieces for just adding something impressive to a battlefield and breaking up the city terrain of buildings and ruins. Well worth getting.

Its all already been ordered  :blush:

I thought about the cost afterwards, and realised I was charged postage on each individual item, rather than a standard cost like GW online store.  That's a bit poo.  :angry:

I had a look online at the catalogue, and it does say there that the warhounds are two to a pack.  I'm sure the catalogue I have, said nothing about it.  Probably a good job, as if I knew I got two warhounds, I would have ordered them too.  :-:

I got my stuff yesterday.

Upon opening the parcel I found the following;

In the defence line set I had been given two defence line bunkers, and no normal one.

3 of the Ork guntrukks had had their exhaust broken in transit.

The ruined Librarium had been sanded very poorly.  It resulted in it standing like the leaning tower of Piza.


I called Forgeworld, and as usual they were happy to help, here's the results;

They are sending the correct bunker, I get to keep the other!  :cool:

They were willing to replace the guntrukks, but I had already fixed them and didn't mind keeping them.  I was just making them aware how fragile they were.

They gave me a freepost address to send the ruined Librarium back to, and will send out a replacement.

So it's worked out okay.  I had a bit of a job repairing the trukks, as the exhausts are so small.  However, I do get an extra bunker out of it.  Though I do have to wait a bit longer for my Librarium.

Luckily, I dont mind having to wait, as I'm having a new central heating system fitted to my house.  So I wont get any painting etc in at all over the next few days.

that happened to mine (and I got mine at GamesDay)

They also happened to Carl Woodrow's check his site out

You will see the middle Gunwagon has only one exhaust!

Yep, thats the part.  I had both exhausts snap off of 3 guntrukks.  Luckily they were still in the bag, so I could stick them back on.

It looks like he lost a bit of the ram too.  The one on the right (the green one) is missing the middle spike.  I had this happen to one of mine too, when removing that large cunk of resin that is attatched there.  It was the very last trukk too out of 6.  :L
