Hi there, We are now only a few days away from Games Day UK, and the Forge World office is under a mound of packaging and bubble wrap, not to mention a massive stack of Reservation orders! This week’s Newsletter has two more exclusive Games Day pre-release kits for you, more details about the lavish displays that will be showcased on our Studio stand, and a reminder about our exclusive Seminars. Thanks, Ead Brown Pre-Releases Available in Limited Numbers at Games Day UK: Necron Tomb Stalker Designed by Will Hayes, the Tomb Stalker is a previously unseen type of Necron construct. This intricately detailed full resin kit can be constructed in a huge variety of dynamic positions as you can see in these images, and is supplied with a sprue of plastic necron green rods with which to complete construction. Armed with potent Gauss weaponry and razor-edged talons, the Tomb Stalker adds a devastating mix of firepower and combat ability to a Necron army, and Imperial Armour writer Alan Bligh has put together a set of experimental rules for this sleek and ancient instrument of destruction, that are available to download here. Exclusively available as an advanced pre-release at Games Day UK, this technological terror is priced at £36 and will be available in limited quantities. Grot Mega Tank Designed by Stuart Williamson, the Grot Mega Tank represents the pinnacle of Gretchin-built Heavy Tank technology; an overpowering war machine that drives all before it in a storm of scrap and destruction. This full resin kit is festooned with unique details as you can in the images, and Stuart has designed each turret to be fully cross-compatible withDaren Parrwood's Grot Tanks. Hammered together out of junk, spare Mekboy know-wotz and unbridled Grot enthusiasm, the Grot Mega Tank adds even more firepower to the battlefield madness that has come to be known as a Grotzkrieg, terrifying Imperial Tacticians, Eldar Farseers and Chaos Warlords alike. Taking a brief break from his work on The Badab War Part II, Alan Bligh has created a set of experimental rules for the Grot Mega Tank that you can find here. Exclusively available in limited numbers at Games Day UK, this devastating war machine is priced at £62.
'The Future of Forge World' Seminars at Games Day UK Head of Forge World Tony Cottrell and Studio Manager Owen Branham will be hosting an exclusive seminar, ‘The Future of Forge World’, at Games Day UK, which will be held in the Westside Bar in the Arena area. Tickets will be available for FREE on a one per person, first come, first served basis as soon as the NEC doors open. As the title suggests, the seminar will focus on future projects on the Forge World schedule, from Imperial Armour books to resin kits, and it will feature a Q&A session in which you can grill Tony and Owen to your heart’s content! There will be two sessions on the day; Seminar One will be held from 12:00 until 12:45 and Seminar Two will run from 1:00 until 1:45. Each running of the seminar is strictly limited to 90 tickets, which will be available from Games Workshop Customer Service staff located at the entrance to the Westside Bar, near the entrance to Block 12 of the Arena. You can download a map of Games Day here. We also have a new catalogue supplement sheet which you can download here. Design Studio Displays and Designer Showcases In addition to sculpting and designing a fantastic array of resin vehicles and infantry, Forge World’s Studio team also produce some incredible, must-see terrain boards for use in the photography work featured in the Imperial Armour books. This year, you can marvel at the full range of these boards, including the staggeringly vast Siege of Vraks ‘Sector 577-449’ display as featured in Imperial Armour Model Masterclass Volume I. You can also see the Inquisitorially-classified Anphelion Base Complex built for Imperial Armour Volume 4, as well as the Imperial Armour Volume 8 Kastorel-Novem Ork Mek city that forms the Studio’s most recent display terrain project. We can also announce that Simon Egan, the sculpting legend behind Lugft Huron, Sevrin Loth and the Khorne Daemon Prince and Herald, among many other detailed resin models, will be showing off his recent projects and will be happy to answer any and all questions about the delicate art of sculpting.
