Sounds expensive 

[Argonor]

It could look like Forge World is bringing out a Warlord Titan

 

Goes a long way to confirm that GW is aiming at the collector's market. Such a model would be completely useless from a gaming perspective; you would have a hard time bringing it to a game, let alone moving it on a gaming table (if you could find one large enough).

Forgive me if this is already well-known (I find it difficult to learn what GW are doing these days), but it seems the Warhammer Fortress is no more.

Last week it was listed on-line as "Web Store only: Not in Stock."  Now it is marked "Sold Out: No Longer Available".  The tower and gateway components are still available (at least for now), but the walls are no longer listed.

As mentioned the other day, Codex: Craftworlds is coming out ( ). Now it looks like a more general Eldar update is coming as they also seem to have updated jetbikes: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Eldar-Windriders

[The Voivod]

I really like the new jetbike models and the price is better then I expected from GW. The warlock model is horrendously price as is to be expected however. I might buy these at some point though.

[Major_Gilbear]

I really like the Autarch (not mentioning the price...), and I like the jetbikes too.

Weirdly though, they look like older sculpts (in style and detail) than their other recent stuff to me, so it leaves me wondering how long these have been ready and not released. 

[Momotaro]

So the first of the rumoured "red days" on the GW calendar approaches, and it looks like we're getting an Imperial Assassins game:

[olyreed]

Looks like the LoTR and Hobbit miniatures are going web exclusive and Radagast has become oop, was gonna buy him in a couple of weeks. definatley the long slow wind down of the miniatures is starting now.. Better start buying before they are gone forever

Not a fan of this crazy dynamic poses but they look great.

[beefcake]

It says it's for a new game. But yes I bet it is also for 40k as well. I'm not a fan of the bases combined with the poses.

[zemjw]

I can see a use for some of those (depending on the price, of course), but the bases will have to go

[Momotaro]

It says it's for a new game. But yes I bet it is also for 40k as well. I'm not a fan of the bases combined with the poses.

Rumour is that the game will be a limited release and the figures will be available separately afterwards.  The magazine cover shown by FunkyBrush says that stats for 40k are inside.

[Vermis]

So... These are still subject to 40K's true-line-of-sight rule...?

[Dr Mathias]

Ugh, I really dislike large scenic items integrated with the figure. I never painted my 3rd edition Space Hulk genestealers, I can't get past support girders moving along with an alien down an open corridor.

[Major_Gilbear]

I have to admit that I rather like those (price-wise though...).

In terms of how dynamic they are, I have no problems with them as long as they are not too "integrated" into the scenic elements (so that I can remove them and substitute something appropriate if I want to).

Frankly I'm happy to see this dynamism, since it's one of the great things that plastic models allow, and which I rarely seen taken advantage of.
