Out Of Production. 16/12/16

I was just on the GW Web store looking for chaos back packs and plasma guns and saw a few things that are now or currently out of production.

As I understand it the sonic blasters have been oop for a while now.

New From Forge World 16/12/16

Description

One of the most heavily armed and armoured of all the Knight chassis in service, the Acastus Knight Porphyrion rivals even the Scout Titans of the Legio Titanicus in terms of size and power. Armed with weapons that can obliterate even the most heavily armoured target, it is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Taller than even the towering Cerastus Knights, the Acastus Knight Porphyrion is a dominating presence on the battlefield. The Knight’s main weapons are a pair of twin-linked Magna Lascannon, devastating weapons an order of magnitude more powerful than even the Sollex pattern Heavy Lascannon of the Mechanicum Taghmata.

Where a Knight Paladin may carry a heavy stubber as a secondary weapon, the Porphyrion is armed with a pair of autocannon which are often replaced with Lascannon when additional anti-armour firepower is necessary. It’s Ironstorm Missile Pod has a substantially larger payload than those found on more common Knights, though in battle-zones where the danger from airborne assault is apparent, this system can be replaced with powerful Helios defence missiles.

Rules for using the Acastus Knight Porphyrion in both Mechanicum Taghmata and Questoris Knights armies in Horus Heresy games can be downloaded from the Download tab on this page.

The Acastus Knight Porphyrion is a complete, multi-part resin kit. It includes several optional secondary weapons.

Coming Again Soon

On the 25th of December, when you've eaten yourself into a food coma and want to take a break from the family, why not order yourself one of these old guys coming back with the made to order option at GW's Web store?

Forge World Community News 12/12/16

Tis the Season of Slaying
Around the Eye of Terror, and across the Mortal Realms, the fabric of reality thins and the greatest beasts of chaos stir behind the veil.

You Chaos fans out there have a had pretty good December so far, and it’s about to get better, because the Exalted Bloodthirster of Khorne will soon be rejoining the fight. These winged behemoths took a brief time-out from the battles on the mortal planes, while our warp-smith artificers re-consecrated their daemonic moulds, but they will soon be back to wreak violent mayhem on all who stand before them.

You can set a reminder for them HERE, to be the first to find out when they are back on sale.

To mark the occasion, and since so many of you have asked about it, we set our rules writers the task of creating Warscrolls to let you use this Exalted Greater Daemon in your Warhammer Age of Sigmar games.

These are being worked on right now, and will be with you very soon…

PS: The rules for using this model in games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in here:

Monthly Vow 12th of December To The 12th of January

It's Christmas and new year, feck all is on the menu for this month, on the plus side it gives me chance to get a rough plan A in place for 2017.
So review of last month;

The Dread hand still hasn't made its way to me so the Optimus Class Librarian Dreadnought has pretty much sat untouched this month.
The Mk1 Predator got rather a major boost, going from just Auto cannon and las cannon to pretty much all options that Forge World supply with the 2 Deimos pattern Predators.






I really did enjoy this project, it was a pleasure to bring this venerable relic up to date.

The 2nd Vindicator got done, as said I'm going to get the laser Destroyer version when down at Warhammer World next year to finish this formation off.


Again I'm having a mate buy me a plastic Whirlwind to finish this formation off when we go down to Warhammer World in February next year.



The 3 Hammer Of Caliban formations together.


Version 1 of The Storm Lord, I was unhappy with how the tank looks so went and bought a Churchill tank, I found out that this wasn't named after the then Prime Minister Winston Churchill, but his ancestor, Lord Malborough.


This looks much bigger and has left me looking at some of the other tanks available from Warlord Games. They do make nice kits.

I've added a havoc launcher to this as well as that is an option in 30k.


As you can see, this tank chassis looks huge under the body but this is 40k. . .

And lastly there's the las cannon pred for the Knights of Blood, that started out as a Lion's Blades pred.

Good Enough For Kevin Smith

From the Facebook page of geek icon Kevin Smith;
Holy Sith! #rogueone is unbelievably wonderful! No lie: it is #EmpireStrikesBack great! An excellent chapter in the @starwars universe! LOTS of breathtaking moments and tie-ins to the Saga. But you are not prepared for how fucking epic #darthvader is in this movie. You will flat-out squeal through the last act of Rogue One and the final 10 minutes will show you something you've never seen before that you never knew how much you wanted to see in the first place. Incredible flick! I can't wait to see it again! More of this in the world, less of everything else! #KevinSmith #starwars #harleyquinnsmith

Reason for this is I've run out of money and will have litter or nothing spare to buy till Warhammer World in February next year, and I thought I'd share his review of the film. Also more movies and book reviews alongside FW and GW community news posts are on the boards as I have little in the way of new stuff to paint. For 2 months!

The Last Of Us 2

I have to say this game is one of the reasons I plan to buy a PS4 this year.
Naught Dog have released some images of Elle on their twitter feed.

If there are more of these I will be posting them here as The Last Of Us is one of my favourite games to date.
