Amazing New Forgeworld Tau

This is from the Forgeworld mailing list, and it's pretty cool. They've got a hefty heavy Tau Battle Suit coming out soon. Not sure how much it costs, but I may pick one (or two) up for my Tau army. I've already got a Forgeworld suit, and they truly are steps ahead of the plastic suits.

Dawn of War 2 - New Maps in next Patch!

I was meaning to post my Blood Angels captains this week, along with some Traitor Guard, but unfortunately my cameraphone broke last night - there'll be no posts for a few days, till I get a new one.

In the meantime, here's some exciting news for anyone who plays Dawn of War 2 online! Next week the newest patch will be released, which will include the new 2vs2 ranked game type, and two all-new maps for 2vs2.

Screenshots stolen from Relic

The maps are both desert maps, and look pretty damn good, I can't wait to get online on these maps. Maybe my Space Marine level will finally increase above 12.

When I get a working camera, there will be new painted models posted, including some Chaos Guardsmen and Marines I have in my bits box.

Dawn of War 2 - Update News

For fellow Dawn of War 2 fans, this link might be useful. It's constantly updated with the latest tit-bits of news that the Relic developers let slip, and I check it quite often.

Dawn of War 2 News

Coming early this month is a new patch which adds a ranked 2vs2 mode, with 2 new maps, and fixes for several bugs. I've been hoping for a 2vs2 mode for a while, and to hear it confirmed is great.

Heres the Limited Edition model for next Games Day (according to WarSeer). Looks pretty cool.

New Forge World Eldar

Nothing really amazing, but Forge World are releasing an Eldar Avatar with Spear alongside a new version of the Wave Serpent. Enjoy.

Forge World - New IG Tank / Tau Remora

I saw these on WarSeer today, and decided they're so cool they have to go on here. Behold:



It's a Macharius Super-Heavy with Vulcan Mega Bolters! This thing is a beast, and a snap at 450 points. More pictures are available here. The Mega Bolters are Heavy 15, S6 AP3 weapons, so not something you'd want to mess with - from the looks of it they might be twin linked.

The second Forge World item we have here is the new Tau Remora fighter drone. This is an armour 10 skimmer with Stealth Generator, Networked Markerlight, Seeker Missile, Targeting Array and twin linked 36" range Burst Cannons, 110 points. It can be upgraded with a Blacksun Filter if need be.

More pictures are available here, and rules for both are available for download here. Note that the points cost for the Macharius is wrong on the PDF (it should be 375 basic cost, +80 for the weapons), and the Remora is labeled as a Leman Russ. That's the legendary Forge World proof readers for you.

News - High Elves Update

Coming soon from GW, the new High Elf models. Looking pretty good, it's just a pity that the old plastics spearmen and archers are staying for now.










The Mages (as yet unseen, by me anyway) and Prince are apparently plastic.

News - Space Marine Apocalypse Releases

Stolen from Bell of Lost Souls, here are some pictures of the new Space Marine units for Codex:Apocalypse. First up is the Land Raider Terminus, a new Raider variant. It has many, many Lascannons but no transport capability - making it the opposite of the Crusader.



Here we have the new "Masters of the Chapter", which is a collection of 4 Company Captains. I love these models, and will definitely be getting them to use. Being a fool, I've been planning to make models for all 10 Blood Angels Company Captains, and this set will definitely help me along the way. Add to these 4 the original metal models, I have 6 of the 10 models covered already! I just need to add 4 Plastic Commanders, and I'm good.



Bigger pictures here.
