This week we have two great new Epic 40K aircraft models to show you as well as a very exciting new Tyranid, the first in our up and coming range of Tyranid models. As an added bonus we also have a set of experimental rules for this bio-killing-machine for you to try out too.
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

It Came From Below! New Tyranid Trygon
Excerpt from Imperial Records: <<>> Now this is a model that I REALLY like. I think it is the Medusa-like way that it is put together, part snake, part monster, the shape just ticks all the right boxes in my head. I built my new Eldar army to have as much firepower as possible and I tell you this, I am oh so glad they have the ?Fleet of Foot? special rule so they can run away from this beastie. Having a Trygon burst out of the ground right in the middle of them would not end well? The Trygon model measures an impressive 140mm/5.5inches tall, which dwarfs most other 40K models and is a complete multi-part resin kit just requiring assembly and painting. Pre-orders are now being taken for what is sure to be a very popular addition to Tyranid collections and these will be released and sent out from Monday November 21st.

Death from the Skies! New Hell Blade and Nightwing Aircraft Spotted
Forge World?s range of Epic 40,000 scale aircraft expands yet further with the introduction of Eldar Nightwing and Chaos Hell Blade packs. The Nightwing is perhaps our smallest model that features moving parts! The designer, one William Hayes, made the master model so that the wings can move forwards and back, just like the much larger 40K scale Nightwing we released a few years ago. To counter the Eldar threat, Daren Parrwood has recently finished a master model of the Chaos Hell Blade fighter. This diminutive model features all the overlaid banding and coiled pipes that adorn its bigger brother and somehow he has managed to make it in just one piece too! In amongst all our other projects, we are working on a set of aerial combat rules that we hope to publish as a game, but there will be more on that next year so watch this space? Both packs of these lovely new models are now up on the Forge World online store and can be pre-ordered for release on Monday November 21st.

(JIMBO EDIT: The Eldar are ?10 for 2 and the Chaos ?10 for 3)

Got to get some Eldar air support now!

Now this is interesting. Does this mean that the often hinted at, previous scheduled but never seen 'Air War Epic flier rules' may actually be a Forge World game?

Hi!

Does FW have a license for anything other than minis?

I suppose so. The IA3 book did contain an E:A TAU armylist which has nothing to do with the official playtest version. The jump from publishing rules for models to actually publishing a complete game system isn't that great.

Cheers! :)

I am a little worried by Forge World starting to publish rules. I can see the requirement that there are some rules available for the minis that they produce, but I dont have a clue how much actual faith I have in rules produced by them. For example, I dont have the EA Tau rules from FW but I got the impression that they were a total depatrure from the ones being carefully and methodically produced by the Tau group and I dont have much intention to get them. I guess that we will need to wait and see about Air War, but this does seem to imply that Jervis wont get around to it.

From what was said at the FW Seminar and talking to FW people on the day this will be a new game.

Jervis's game was very much based on a squadron approach, whereas the FW game will be a dogfighting game based on individual aircraft.

I wonder what that means from a compatability aspect for integration with Epic or BFG? ???
Author:  Justiniel [ Fri Oct 28, 2005 2:59 pm ]
Post subject:  Forgeworld Newsletter #133
I would think it would be quite difficult to really integrate, I suspect that it would be a little too rule complex to play a 'mini game' every time an aircraft appeared on the battlefield, I suspect that the easiest way to do it would be to play the air battle before the Epic match with the losing side left with no air to air cover, quite a disadvantage.
