In this issue: Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Hobby-filled New Year
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Hobby-filled New Year As 2009 draws to a close, it's worth remembering what a hobby-packed year it has been. It was a year that brought us: new Orks and the incredible Stompa; reinforcements for The Empire and a plastic Steam Tank; War of The Ring and a whole new way to game in Middle-earth; the Planetstrike expansion and a host of towering scenery sets, new Imperial Guard and the hugely popular Valkyrie; Codex: Space Wolves and brand-new Space Wolves miniatures; a new range of Skaven; and of course Space Hulk. And if you thought that 2009 was a year beyond compare, then you just wait till next year! Here's a sneak peek at some of the stunning sets you can expect to see in 2010: |
From all of us here at Games Workshop, have a very merry Christmas. |

News: Forgeworld Newsletter #229
"Hi There,
Well Christmas is here, and very quickly too it seems, and at Forge World we`ve had our first snows of the season! In this last newsletter of 2009 we`ve no less than three brand new models for you to pre-order: A Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought, a Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnought, and a new Ork Special Character. These new releases are just the first of many great new models we have in store for you in the New Year.
Thanks
Alan Bligh
Imperial Armour Apocalypse II Now Available Imperial Armour Apocalypse II is available to order Here. |
Space Wolves and Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnoughts
We have two new chapter-specific MKIV Venerable Dreadnoughts, one for the Space Wolves and one for the Raven Guard; both are superbly detailed models designed by Simon Egan. Venerable Dreadnoughts themselves are powerful fighting machines; Heavily armed and armoured robotic frames housing the remains of a legendary chapter hero recovered from the battlefield on the verge of death and encased in Dreadnought armour to serve the chapter with glory for centuries to come.
As with all of our dreadnoughts these models do not come with arms, but instead are compatible with our existing range of MKIV Dreadnought Weapon Arms sold separately.
The Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought as befits the individualistic and savage warriors of Fenris is bedecked in runic carvings depicting the fabled sagas and warlike exploits of the venerated warrior within. It mounts the proud wolf`s head iconography of the chapter, and the skull and pelt of one of the legendary Thunderwolves forms the Dreadnought`s personal banner.
The Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnought belongs to a grim and darkly mysterious chapter. The Raven Guard are the masters of the unseen war, of terror and the execution of the brutal and overwhelming killing blow. The Dreadnoughts of the Raven Guard are often employed as part of that final death strike against the heart of the enemy, erupting from drop pods to sow havoc and destruction. The Raven Guard Venerable Dreadnought carries both the raven-symbol of the chapter on its carapace and banner, as well as various skulls and memento mori that speak of this shadowed chapter`s obsession with fear, fate and death.
Both of these Venerable Dreadnoughts are available to pre-order now for release the week commencing the 25th of January.
The Mystery Revealed – Ork Boss Mek Buzzgob! Buzzgob and his `elpers are also available to pre-order now for release the week commencing the 25th of January. Christmas Opening Times Unfortunately we can no longer guarantee delivery before Christmas. We will be working until Christmas Eve to ensure that we dispatch as many of the orders placed this week as possible. We will also be despatching orders between Christmas and New Year to make sure our customers get their orders as quickly as possible throughout the Festive period. If you have any queries about your order’s status, current shipping times, stock levels or how long an order placed this week will take to reach you, please contact Forge World Customer Services – the team will be pleased to assist you. Our festive opening hours are
We will resume our normal service from Monday January 4th. Special Note: The Price of Mamon! In answer to queries on the matter by loyal subjects of the Imperium: the printed copies of Imperial Armour Apocalypse II have Mamon’s points value correctly listed at 185pts, whereas the sample page spreads first shown were incorrect as they were based on a pre-production draft. The layout servitor involved has been purged! Alan …and a Very Merry Christmas The other thing of course to do is wish every one of our customers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and we hope to see many of you in the future at our shows and keep you well supplied with the highest quality books and models we can.
