Hi there. Welcome to the latest Forge World newsletter.

The big news in this issue of our newsletter is all about a big tank. To be honest, Forge World has always been heavily involved with making big tanks but this time we outdid ourselves. In the summer of 2003, Paul our website guy, was ‘working’ on the internet. He called a few of us across to see this Russian website that had photos and video clips of very large radio controlled tanks. ‘Wow, that’s cool’ seemed to be the overall opinion throughout the office. It was noted that the owners of this website, who make and sell these large models, said if you couldn’t see the tank you wanted they would be happy to build it for you. Well, we just had to ask them didn’t we? Paul sent off an email to Alex in Volgograd asking if they would consider making a science fiction style tank? Yes, came the fairly swift reply. Talk to our partner in the UK, a chap called Mark. A few weeks later Paul, Tony and Warwick went to meet Mark at a large militaria show in the south of England and Alex happened to be there too. Everyone had a good chat and after seeing what we were getting more and more interested in making, Alex and Mark said they thought they could do it. Do what? What are you going on about? A Baneblade of course. Forge World is the very proud owner of a 1/6th scale radio controlled Mars pattern Baneblade. The following link will show you the very same photos we received from Alex in Russia as this mighty project carried on through the autumn and winter of 2003, all the way up till Paul and I went down to collect our new toy from Mark in early August! www.forgeworld.co.uk/rcbaneblade.htm

We first displayed our 1/6th scale Baneblade at Games Day UK at the beginning of October. We laid out a small arena for it to rumble around in, mocked up some fuel drums for it to run over and crush and a large ramp for it to clamber up and over. Each time we fired up the ‘engine’, a hugely loud sound processor, a massive crowd rushed over, completely surrounding the display area five or six people deep. We hope to be able to take our Baneblade to some of the other Games Days that Forge World attend around the world, so watch our Events section of our website early next year for information on where you’ll be able to see it.

This Sunday, November 7th, is the first Veterans Open Day at Warhammer World in Nottingham. Forge World will be there with a display of some of our newest and most exciting models. You will be able to place mail orders for Forge World models at the Open Day, but if you want to be able to take them away on the day you will need to call us before 2pm UK time on Friday November 5th to place a reservation order.

Two weeks later, quite a few of us are ‘working’ at Scale Modelworld 2004 over in Telford on Saturday and Sunday November 20th and 21st. http://www.ipms-uk.co.uk/scalemodelworld/index.htm Forge World can announce that the organisers of the event are letting us take our giant Baneblade! Sadly it will not be allowed to rumble around the halls, but it will be there in all its glory, lights blazing and turrets waggling, for you to photograph and get a good close look at. We shall have a range of our models available to buy over the weekend, but if you want to be sure that we’ll have exactly what you want, please get in touch with us and place a reservation order.

A few other snippets of news for you. There are new updates to the rules for the huge Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan, Tau Tetra and Tau Piranha available to download at http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/downloads40k.htm Also new on that section of our website is a Q&A sheet for Imperial Armour Volume 2.

I think that’s all for today folks, but you can look forward to a whole heap of new Forge World Imperial Guard models in the near future as well as an enormous Warhammer two-headed Chaos Dragon from the desk of Daniel Cockersell! Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.

stell dir mal vor das kommt mit der post^^

Dark Slayer: ja das soll ferngesteuert sein! hammer!
hat dann bestimmt noch kleine raketen die man abschiesen kann^^

An sich aber eine schöne Idee. Ich hatte auch so etwas vor, aber mit einem Landraider. Zwar nicht in 1/6, sondern in "Realgröße", wie er auf dem Spielbrett steht. Ich kann mir schon vorstellen, dass das recht genial ist, wenn das Ding auf das Brett gestellt wird und dann von alleine lösfährt, wenn es bewegt werden soll ;). Leider scheiterte das an der Tatsache, dass der Landraider nicht (!) geländegängig ist. Die haben ganz einfach das Ding falsch designed um es zu bewegen. Das gleiche auch mit dem Thunderhawk. Ich wollte eigentlich einen bauen, der Fliegen kann. Geht auch nicht, weil das Ding gar nicht fliegen kann. Die nehmen einfach keinerlei Rücksicht auf die Physik sondern designen vor sich hin :(.

@Locusta: Nen ferngesteuerten LandRaider hat schon einer beim Gamesday abgegeben...

Leider kann das Ding aber nicht im "richtigen" Gelände fahren, eben wie ein "richtiger" Panzer, da die Seitenschürze viel zu lang ist. Das, was man noc ausprobieren könnte wäre einen Zwergen-Zepelin zu bauen. Das müsste sogar noch machbar sein.

Wenn man so etwas:

nimmt und etwas umbaut, dann könnte es durchaus gut funktionieren :).

Hi again. Time for the latest issue of the Forge World Newsletter.

In the last issue of our newsletter I talked a little about Forge World's forthcoming range of Elysian Drop Troops, but didn't show any photos, adding to the rumours flying around the forums. (How naughty of us!) As we only started the Elysian project late in 2004, our proposed release schedule starting early in the new year seemed impossible to some of you out there, (and us too at some points along the way!), but I am very, very happy to be able to announce the completion of our first sets of Elysian Drop Troops.
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/elys1chutes.htm
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/elys1.htm
These models are truly amazing. Each Elysian is made up of separate legs, torso, head, arms and equipment, with over 100 individual pieces in the 10 man squad. Trust me, there's a heck of a lot of different poses you can make here!
What our designers, Simon Egan and Will Hayes, have tried to do throughout the whole project is to make the Elysians "real". We even went to the lengths of taking photos of some of our guys running around the car park so we could see what sort of poses we would like to be able to make. Special attention was given to the way the harness straps lay across the bodies of the Elysians, and how that affected the folds of cloth in their jump suits.
The ten man squad consists of a sergeant armed with a lasgun incorporating an auxiliary grenade launcher, a trooper equipped with a vox-caster, one armed with a grenade launcher, another with a demolition charge and six other "basic" troopers armed with those lovely new bullpup lasguns.
Of course one of the most distinctive features of the Elysian Drop troops is their grav-chutes. These are one use devices that can be jettisoned after landing and are used by certain elite Imperial Guard infantry for massed aerial assaults. The Elysians use the grav-chute to attack an enemy from above, literally raining down onto unexpected areas of the battlefield, causing havoc and inflicting heavy casualties upon their foe within moments of landing. Reinforcements can then sweep in after the LZ has been secured and deploy from Valkyrie Assault Carriers.
These are of course only the first Elysian units in what promises to be a comprehensive range that Forge World will be releasing over the next few months. We are working on at least one other normal squad, a Command Squad, several Heavy Weapons Squads, Veteran Squad, Special Weapons Squads, (the long barrelled bipod equipped versions of these new lasguns just look marvellous!) and several different packs of accessories including LZ beacons and drop canisters.
So when are they going to be sent out? We'll start shipping orders out from Monday February 28th in the same order that we receive them, first come first served you could say. Both Elysian Drop Troop squads and the Grav-chute pack are available to pre-order online at
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalo...ROP_TROOPS.html and over the phone on our mail order lines right now.

As of today, Forge World is able to start work on any reservations you guys want to make for Games Day Atlanta and Games Day Los Angeles. Either give one of our guys a call on the phone or drop us an email titled "Games Day Atlanta Reservation" or "Games Day Los Angeles Reservation" to
forgeworld@games-workshop.co.uk with your name and the list of what you want us to pack up especially for you.

That's all for this issue but we'll be back with another Forge World newsletter in the near future.
Thx,

Ewen Little,
Forge World.
