Limited Edition Captain Centros US Only?

Would GW really make this model US only? I recall past US only models being released later in the UK. I for one hope that’s what they do. Picking up models on eBay or worse still remoldes from who knows where, isn’t the sort of customer behaviour GW should be encouraging. This could have been a great Warhammer Fest offering from GW and I can’t help but wonder if that was the original intentions but that production couldn’t hit the time scales required. 

Oh well fingers crossed.

Warhammer Fest 2016 Display Boards with Video

There were more display boards at this year’s Fest of Warhammer. Forge Wolrd only brought one of their’s along, but GW bought quite a few. GW also brought their  planning books for the making the large boards at Warhammer World unfortunately I didn’t get photos of those.

And so Warhammer Fest begins

The big Forge World release is an even more heavily armoured Porphyrion. 

But probably even bigger than that  the first painted mastodon has been spotted. The Sons of Horus roll out.


Leman Russ looks to be almost ready. It appears it’s just the base left to do. I wonder if there might be a couple of wolves on it.


The Rhico arena floor plan, it’s a great venue for Warhammer Fest. Really relaxed and full of natural light.


And the most popular area….

The queue for Forge World Goodies. They call it Warhammer Fest, but we know it as ForgeHammer Fest. 
And here is ForgeWorlds new bird


More pictures are available at battlebunnies. They have been posting great content all day. 
ChapterMasters will be picking up coverage of Golden Demon tomorrow.

The Wolf Time

The new Space Wolves release has certainly raised a few eyebrows, to say the least. 

There are only 3 completely new sets in this release.

  • Ulrik the Slayer
  • Iron Priest
  • Space Wolves Wulfen

In addition to the new models is the Curse of the Wulfen book.

There has also been a lot of sets re-boxed and as CEO Kevin Rowntree had indicated a new lower price point for Space Wolves with the introduction of the Wolf Guard set at 65% of the price of a Space Wolf Pack for half the amount of models.
There is also a new Start collecting Space wolf set which is the same price as other new start collecting sets. The set contains a Wolf Pack a Thunder Wolf Cavely along with a Space Marine Commander. This set is priced lower than the cost of a pack and cavaly, making it a very cost effective way to start or expand a Space Wolves army. The remaining commander can easerly be used as a wolf guard with the spare components from the wolf pack set.

 While 13th Company space Wolves are not new to the 40k Universe. The 13th company had a metal set released in the days of 40k 3rd edition and a plastic hybrid Chaos Soace Wolf set during 4th and 5th. 

  
It’s the conflict between the Space Wolves and other Space Marine Chapters that make this releaese  very interesting. Games Workshop have previously refused to advance to 40k time line, so alienating the Space Wolves chapter in this way is not only a big change to the 40k status quo, it’s also the beginjng of the end of the 40k universes. This has lead a numbe of doom seerers predicting this is End Times for 40k….

I’m not so sure this is the end though. The grim dark future has always been a universe on the edge of collapse. If anything this just expanded the possibilities in that players can play pre and post 13th Company return time periods. Which is surly a good thing?
