Hi there,
We have two fantastic new releases in this week’s newsletter: the savage and brutal Skin Wolves and the rather more quirky Arcane Frogs. We’re also excited to announce the first details of the Forge World Open Day which will be held at Warhammer World on Sunday 1st April. Skin Wolves
 Many are the dark and nightmarish horrors that the Ruinous Powers have visited upon the world, yet few are as strange as the Skin Wolves of legend. The witch-curs’d and Chaos-tainted men and women afflicted with this gift from their unholy gods bear a mutation that does not show as a stigmata of the flesh, but instead lurks in the blood, a slumbering beast to be roused by dark sacrifice and unspeakable ritual. When this horror is unleashed, there is no mere transformation from man into beast; instead a great humanoid wolf-thing bursts fully-formed from the body of the human. Lean and half-insane with Chaos-tainted hunger, the Skin Wolf is so-named for the scraps and tatters of flesh and chunks of gristle that cling to its hulking frame; all that remains of the human form it once bore. Only once battle is spent and their voracious hunger sated will the transformation be reversed, the flesh of the Skin Wolf collapsing into a pallid and terrible mass from which the human must tear itself free. The Skin Wolves set, designed by Keith Robertson, contains three multi-part resin models, each packed with amazing detail and dynamically posed. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 30th March. A set of experimental rules that allow the Skin Wolves to be used alongside any Warhammer army in Storm of Magic games can be downloaded now, taken from the forthcoming Monstrous Arcanum book. Arcane Frogs
 The physical effect of a Storm of Magic on the Warhammer world is most often visible in the great Arcane Fulcrums that rear from the earth, drawn forth by the howling gales of sorcerous power. Controlling and channelling such unimaginable energy is not without its risks however, and if it goes awry dramatic and sudden transformations can occur, leaving once-mighty spell casters no more than bloated amphibians atop their eldritch perches. The Arcane Frogs set comprises two whimsical and detailed resin miniatures, designed by Mark Bedford and Thais Mariblanca Lopez. Each bears a suspicious resemblance to the mighty spell caster they once were, and are suitable for use with any Warhammer army, or even as Chaos Familiars or similar creatures. This set is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 30th March. Forge World Events News:
Forge World Open Day, 1st April, Warhammer World, Nottingham
Sunday 1st April will see us abandon our top-secret Manufactorum for our annual Open Day. This year’s event is even bigger and better than ever, as we will be taking over not only the Gaming Hall for our Sales stands, but also the Staff Restaurant for our Studio displays
You can now download a map of the event from the Forge World Events page to guide you around the Open Day, and we’ll be bringing you even more information about the event in future newsletters. Today though, we can reveal a few details about our Studio and Sales areas. The entirety of the Forge World and Warhammer Forge model design teams will be present throughout the day, and each designer will be showcasing their recent work as well as future releases and work-in-progress models that have never before been seen. You’ll be able to chat to all our designers about the process of creating such detailed kits, how they are painted and maybe even get a few hints about future projects as well! The Book Production team of writers, artists and graphic designers will also be on hand, with lavish displays of the full-colour artwork that graces the pages of an Imperial Armour or Warhammer Forge book. Rumour has it that you’ll even be able to see first-hand the work and skill that goes into producing our artwork. The writing team will undoubtedly be showcasing proof copies of future books as well as the febrile scribblings that form the basis of each storyline. Who knows what dark hints will be dropped about projects as yet unannounced? As well as our Studio team, many of our detailed display boards will be set up for you to take a look at, including those built for the Doom of Mymeara, and Raid on Kastorel-Novem Imperial Armour books. We also intend to run a ‘Studio Café’ Q&A session in the afternoon in which a panel of key members of the team will take your questions (and maybe even answer them too!). Our Sales stand will be packed with a huge selection of resin kits, books and modelling supplies, including some pre-release kits that will be announced in future newsletters, and as always the Open Day will be the first chance to purchase our 2012 Event Only models. We’ve designed a Warhammer Forge and a Forge World model once again, and while we can’t tell you what they are just yet, suffice to say that we are very excited about them! We are now accepting reservation orders for the Forge World Open Day, which is the best way to ensure we have the exact product you want, packed up and waiting for you at the event. As with all our UK shows, Open Day reservation orders are pre-paid to make the collection process quicker and easier, leaving you with more time to enjoy the rest of the event
Please telephone the Customer Service team on 0115 900 4995 to place a reservation order. We will require your name, contact telephone number and e-mail address along with the list of products you wish to reserve, and you will need your card details to hand. We’ll process the payment while you are on the phone, and in the week before the event you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail containing your order number. This is your proof of payment, and you must bring this e-mail with you to claim your order. The Open Day runs from 10am to 4pm and all of Warhammer World’s facilities will be available throughout the day, including Bugman’s Bar for breakfast, lunch, and refreshments. The event is free to attend, no pre-registration or booking is required, and we look forward to seeing you there!Thanks,
Ead Brown
