Warhammer Forge Newsletter #9


Hi there,
            This week’s newsletter brings you details of two more exciting Chaos Dwarf releases, along with a reminder of our presence at Games Day Spain and Games Day Chicago. We can now officially announce that as well as attending these two great events, Warhammer Forge and Forge World will also be at Games Day Australia on the 1st October 2011!
Chaos Dwarf Magma Cannon
Chaos Dwarf Magma CannonThe Magma Cannon is a terrifying war machine that is a nefarious amalgam of field artillery piece and furnace. Their exact design and source of ammunition often differ, as some fire sorcerously-bound, volcanic glass shells filled with volatile liquids while others comprise massive boilers which unleash jets of molten iron, caustic acids and sulphur. Whatever their appearance, the Magma Cannon is a devastating weapon against those who suffer the wrath of the Chaos Dwarfs.
The Chaos Dwarf Magma Cannon, designed by Tim Adcock, is a finely detailed resin kit that contains three unique Chaos Dwarf crew designed byEdgar Skomorowski. While eminently effective as a stand-alone artillery piece, the Magma Cannon may also be towed by an Iron Daemon, allowing it great manoeuvrability across the battlefield and maximising its short-ranged destructive potential.
Experimental rules for the Magma Cannon are available to download now from the Forge World website, taken from the Legion of Azgorh army list that will feature in Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos.
Chaos Dwarf Deathshrieker Rocket Launcher
Chaos Dwarf Deathshrieker Rocket LauncherThe Deathshrieker Rocket is one of the more diabolic examples of the Chaos Dwarf artificers’ mastery of blackpowder weapons. Bound within its munitions are howling, malevolent fire-spirits, which are unleashed as the multiple warheads of the Deathshrieker detonate over the battlefield in an incendiary storm. Unlike more mundane munitions, these explosions possess a terrible hunger: the shrapnel and tendrils of flame actively seek out victims. The tormented spirits are far from discerning as to whose flesh they burn though, and the Chaos Dwarfs must be cautious lest their own ranks are consumed by the fire storm.
The Chaos Dwarf Deathshrieker Rocket Launcher is a full resin war machine designed by Tim Adcock, supplied with three Chaos Dwarf crew sculpted by Edgar Skomorowski. Included in its rules is the option of a Steam Carriage upgrade which enables the Iron Daemon to rapidly redeploy this hellish war machine to better support the implacable advance of the Dawi Zharr.
Experimental rules for the Deathshrieker Rocket are available to download now from the Forge World website, taken from the Legion of Azgorh army list that will feature in Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos.
Both models are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 27th June.
Games Day Spain – 3rd July 2011
Forge World will be attending Games Day Spain 2011, held at the Pabellon de Convenciones at Casa del Campo in Madrid. Our sales team will be bringing a wide selection of the Warhammer Forge and Forge World range, including both of our Show Only models for 2011: the Chaos Dwarf Hellsmith and MkIII Armoured Boarding Space Marine.
Games Day Chicago – 30th July 2011
Forge World will soon be returning to the U.S. for Games Day Chicago 2011, held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Centre. It’s been brought to our attention that last week’s Forge World newsletter incorrectly listed the date of Games Day Chicago as the 24th July. This is incorrect and it is actually held on the 30th July! Apologies for any confusion this caused.

Forge World sculptors 
Will Hayes and Mark Bedford will be accompanying our intrepid sales team to the show, where we will be bringing a huge selection of the Forge World and Warhammer Forge range, including our Show Only MkIII Armoured Boarding Space Marine and Chaos Dwarf Hellsmith, alongside limited numbers of all our recent releases.
We are now accepting reservation orders for both Games Day Chicago and Games Day Spain, and this is the best way of ensuring that we will have exactly the models you’re looking for, packed up and waiting for you to pay for on the day.
To place a reservation order, please send an e-mail entitled ‘Games Day Chicago Reservation’ or ‘Games Day Spain Reservation’ to fwreservations@games-workshop.co.uk, making sure to provide your full name and a list of the items you’d like to reserve, or telephone the Forge World Customer Service team on 01144 115 916 8177 from the US and Canada, or 00 44 115 916 8177 from Europe.
In order to process your reservation order in time, please ensure that your e-mails reach us by the 13th June for Games Day Chicago, and the 20th June for Games Day Spain.
Games Day Australia – 1st October 2011
Forge World are excited to announce that we will be attending Games Day Australia, held at the Australian Technology Park, Redfern, NSW. More details will follow in future newsletters, but suffice to say we will be bringing a massive selection of our range of books, resin kits, weathering supplies, etched brass and decal sheets, as well as our 2011 Show Only MkIII Armoured Boarding Space Marineand Chaos Dwarf Hellsmith, and all our recent releases from 2011. Attendees of Games Day Australia will also have an exclusive last chance to purchase our 2010 Show Only miniature, the Ork Runt Bot!
