I didn’t come across many Tyranid entry’s in Golden Demon 2014. Probably due to the limited number of categories they can be entered in. There were two present in the Monstrous Creature section and a handful more between Diorama and Duel. I wouldn’t really say there was one stand out entry, for a best bug in show award.
Forge World Tyranid Malthrope
Tyranid Haruspex – Hive Fleet Kraken
Not from the same category but there is a Carifex in there.
During the building works at Warhammer World, Fort Pain has been retired. It is currently unknown if the board is set to return. While being one of the few boards featured in Games Workshop publications it was not the most popular. While it looks great it is not the most balanced or level board. It is great for a game of siege the castle and one of the few ways many people can afford to play on the Forge World Fortress, but not good for a balanced game of 40k. Some general relish this prospect.
I was able to play a game on the board with Ben’s Space Wolves against Gareth Tau and another mystery army. Here are some pictures from my one experiences of Pain!
Fort Pain Spave Wolves vs Tau, Warhammer World
Hands down the best display of the day. No doubt this was Forge Worlds biggest and best display to date. It’s a shame it won’t fit in the window at Warhammer World. I wonder if they will let us play on it in the hall?
“War is the crucible in which we burn. In the fires of battle is the past consumed and the future born on tongues of flame. No greater fire has there been in our times than the three bloody hours of the Dropsite Massacre.”
— attributed to Malcador the Sigillite, Regent of Terra
The Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V was one of the major turning points that occurred early in the great galactic civil war that engulfed the Imperium of Man in the early 31st Millennium that was known in later times as the Horus Heresy. After the news of the Istvaan III Atrocity was brought to the Emperor of Mankind by the Loyalists aboard the Death Guard Frigate Eisenstein, He ordered the combined forces of seven Space Marine Legions to assault the positions of Horus and his Traitor Legions in the Istvaan System. During that assault on the world of Istvaan V, three Loyalist Astartes Legions — the Iron Hands, the Salamanders and the Raven Guard — were betrayed by the 4 other Legions of the Loyalist second wave — the Alpha Legion, Night Lords, Iron Warriors, and a large contingent of Word Bearers — who they had believed were loyal to the Emperor of Mankind, but in fact had already betrayed the Imperium and secretly turned to the service of the rebellious Warmaster Horus and Chaos. As the Loyalists retreated back towards what they believed were friendly lines, the hidden Traitors revealed their allegiance by opening fire upon the Loyalists, catching them between a Traitor hammer and anvil and nearly destroying all three Loyalist Legions. This victory demolished what the Loyalists had believed to be their numerical superiority and opened the path to the conquest of Terra for Horus and his allies amongst the Forces of Chaos.
