Horus Heresy -
First off we have the Myrmidons. Part of the Mechanicum force, these come in ranged and CC varieties. There's loads of different options, just like with the Magos kit.
There's also Mechanicum Thralls on the way in a few months. They'll be compatible with Imperial Guard Plastic Kits.
This is the Land Laider Achilles MkIIB. It's still very much a WIP but looks great already. No plans to do an all FW Phobos pattern Land Raider from what I could tell.
The Sicaran Venator! Should be out within a month. The model on show was an actual production cast.
The Vidicator that everyone should have seen already.
Word Bearers Ashen Circle. These look amazing with the variant helmets.
Night Lords Raptor squad. These are expected in a couple of months.
Lorgar. He'll also be out in a couple of months. Sculpted by Edgar Skomorowski and looking very nice.
Iron Hands Medusan Immortals which should be out 'shortly'.
Death Guard Grave Wardens. Almost done except for the heads.
Kharybdis Assault Claw. Zooms sideways, then hovers to land. Should have a capacity of 20-30 models. Will was trying to design the smaller Assault pod but it turned out too big!
The Legion Basalisk is almost finished. There will be a Marine Medusa soon too.
In other heresy news...
The next Primarch is going to be Horus Lupercal. He's about half finished. The top half, hence the small photo! Sculpted by Simon Egan.
Book three, titled Extermination is due in March/Easter. It will cover the battles of Phall, Paramar and Isstvan. There will be more Titan Legions, the Legio Gryphonicus (War Griffons) and Legio Fureans (Tiger Eyes).
The next trilogy will cover 1. Prospero, including Custodes and Sisters of Silence. 2. Signus, including Blood Angels, Demons, and Dark Angels. 3. Calth, including traitor Imperial Army. This should be released towards the end of 2014 with the following 2 the year after.
Salamanders models are on the to-do list but not started yet.
Mortarian also hasn't been started yet. They'll probably start him soon, maybe he'll be primarch 6 or 7.
There will be another Horus Heresy Weekender, but the alternate Fulgrim sculpt won't get released.
The other weapon options for the Thallax will be out early next year.
Someone asked about doing xenos as part of the Heresy. Tony was fairly blunt in his response, stating it's a civil war, and if you want aliens go and play 40k. I whole heartedly agree!
Imperial Fists should be getting a Breacher type unit and some Templar style ones.
Iron Warriors are in playtesting at the moment. Things like heavy support terminators with cyclone missile launchers. They should also get a heavy support siege squad.
Warhammer 40k -
No photos taken but got some information.
Imperial Armour Volume 2 second edition is almost ready. It'll update all FW Space Marine rules to 6th edition. Andy Hoarre is writing it. It'll be subtitled War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes.
It should include a relic version of the Sicaran Battle Tank. Expected around Christmas.
From speaking to Talima, the Badab Wars books are next to be updated to 6th.
I had a really long chat to Daren Parrwood, the genius behind a lot of the FW Tau line. He said rules should be out for the XV107 soon, in a week or so. And that he'd brought another variant riptide with him on the day but Tony had said not to show it. It's apparently got a huge shield and performs more of a protective role than an offensive one.
He also mentioned that he's had another variant suit hanging around half-finished for a few years. Somewhere between the XV2 and XV7 class. Hopefully in a few years they'll be doing another Tau Imperial Armour.
Bran Redmaw is still a WIP. Mark Bedford is responsible!
Warhammer Forge -
Battle for Black Fire Pass is pretty much on hold indefinitely. But Trish had brought a WIP of the Dread Saurian, it's huge!
And there you have it. Tons of amazing info, and lots of lovely sculpts to look forward to. Cheers!
