Forgeworld News and Releases

[Skringly]

I like the under arm guns for some, plasma cannon espeically, but there are some I feel, like the lascannon, should always be hefted over the shoulder. Has a more precise look to it than something that is just swaying around at hip level.

More heavy weapons from the FW Bulletin.

[Gagoc The Ancient]

If you can hear howling, it's because the Wolves are coming!
This monday's FW Bulletin has a very Nordic feel.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/b...uestid=6325633

First up we can see Sneak Peeks of 30K Space Wolf upgrades for BaC plastics.


But that's not all. For 40K we have the return of the Space Wolf Terminator Upgrade set.

Though if you dropped the Crux Terminatus, these would also work for 30K.

[Gagoc The Ancient]

Another FW Bulletin, with a Space Wolf theme.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/b...questid=800237

This time it is someone's Deredeo conversion.

Looks like they're anticipating the inclusion of Helfrost weapons for at least 40K SW, if not 30K ones.

New releases for HH, and SM, from FW.

Heavy Weapons.


Ryza Pattern Lascannon Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/R...-Lascannon-Set

Primarily known for its plasma reactor and magnetic field technologies; Ryza is a principal Forge World of the Imperium, consistently producing weapons of notable quality and reliability that have been put into service by the Legiones Astartes since the days of the Great Crusade.

Lascannon are powerful, reliable heavy weapons which can deliver extreme damage over a huge distance. Firing bursts of explosive energy, the Lascannon is the weapon of choice for long range tank-hunting units.

This is a multi-part resin upgrade kit. It includes five resin Ryza pattern lascannon, five backpacks fitted with fuel cells, and five power cables which should be gently heated and bent to fit. These weapons are compatible with both resin and plastic Space Marines.

Mars Pattern Heavy Bolters Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/M...vy-Bolters-Set

At the height of their technological might, the forges of Mars produced weapons to a standard seldom matched in the Galaxy. These patterns became a benchmark by which others would be judged. In the ages since, much technology has become homogenised through the loss of knowledge and whole Forge Worlds, but Mars pattern weapons are still prized in Space Marine armouries as exemplars of their type.

The largest man-portable example of standard bolt weaponry, the heavy bolter is mainly used in anti-infantry and fire support roles. Its large calibre and high rate of fire make it an excellent choice of weapon in target rich environments. In the latter years of the Great Crusade, Legiones Astartes Heavy Support squads carrying ten heavy bolters into battle on missions of compliance were a common sight.

Phaistos Pattern Heavy Flamers Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/P...vy-Flamers-Set

Much was lost in the Age of Darkness and the following millennia, much that could never be recovered. Whole worlds vanished from the knowledge of Mankind. Among them, Forge Worlds whose names only linger as patterns of weapon, venerated in the armouries of the Space Marines and still brought to bear against the enemies of humanity.

Heavy Flamers are often deployed by Legiones Astartes units either as area denial weapons or to force enemy infantry from fortified positions. A variety of different chemicals have been used as fuel for these fearsome weapons, all of them designed to ignite on contact with the atmosphere.

Mediant Pattern Multi Meltas Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/M...lti-meltas-Set

In the latter days of the great crusade, the Imperium’s manufacturing capacity was vast, on a scale unknown after the fall into the Age of Darkness. The web of Forge Worlds under the Mechanicum’s aegis extended from Mars to the far reaches of known space, each producing arms for the armies of the Imperium, their very best going to the Space Marine Legions. This munificence of resource led to a proliferation of weapon patterns, each unique but harking back to a standard template. Those produced on Atar-Merdian were comonly known as Mediant pattern.

Lethal anti-armour weapons, multi-meltas scale up the destructive power of melta weapons, allowing the Legionnaires wielding them to vaporise vehicles and infantry alike.

[Gagoc The Ancient]

Proteus-II Pattern Missile Launchers Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/P...-Launchers-Set

Dating back to the Dark Age of Technology or before, many types of weapon are so omnipresent they have their origins hidden by time. Weapons designated Proteus pattern share this unknown origin, in use since long before the coming of the Emperor and the Age of the Imperium.

Ubiquitous throughout the armed forces in the Emperor’s service, the Missile Launcher is one of the standard heavy weapons of the Space Marine Legions. With its variety of munitions, the missile launcher is a versatile and lethal weapon.

Kalibrax Pattern Autocannons Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/K...Autocannon-Set

In the aftermath of the Age of Darkness and The Scouring that followed, worlds that had been lost vanished from the memories of Mankind. Proud Forge Worlds, once lauded in triumphant song and tales of awe, left nothing but their names, etched onto the ancient metalwork of weapons they once fabricated.

Robust firearms that fire bursts of high-velocity, caseless shot, autocannon are excellent all-round weapons. Powerful enough to take on heavy infantry and lightly armoured vehicles, their long range and high rate of fire has lead to their extensive use by the Space Marines Legions during the Great Crusade.

Proteus Pattern Rotor Cannon Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/P...tor-Cannon-Set

Their origins obscured by time, many patterns of weapon employed by the Space Marine Legions date back to the Dark Age of Technology or before. Weapons designated Proteus pattern share this unknown origin, in use since long before the coming of the Emperor and the Age of the Imperium.

The forebear of the later assault cannon, the Rotor Cannon was a multi barrelled stubber that could sustain an extraordinary rate of fire. Whilst lacking the power of bolt shells, the hail of fire produced by the rotor cannon could make short work of enemy hordes. Simpler to produce than most heavy weaponry, Rotor Cannon found use in many Legion Tactical Support squads.

Telerac Pattern Volkite Culverins Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/T...-Culverins-Set

The loss of Forge Worlds during The Horus Heresy sped the decline of Volkite weapons in the Imperium. The technology, difficult to manufacture even by the most able of the Mechnicum’s forges, was rendered scarce in the aftermath of The Age of Darkness. Telerac pattern weapons are far more ancient and ill-omened even those designated 'Proteus', the name implying dark associations with the technological horrors of the deep reaches of the Age of Strife. The shortage of reliable supplies of Volkite weaponry saw many Telerac pattern weapons restored to service in the name of the Emperor, and carefully mainteded in the Space Marine armouries.

The heaviest of the portable Legiones Astartes ‘Volkite’ weapons, the Volkite Culverin is a thermal ray weapon of ancient provenance. Its beam has a devastating effect on organic matter, explosively burning flesh into ash and jetting fire.

Mars Pattern Plasma Cannon Set, £13 for five.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/M...sma-Cannon-Set

At the height of their technological might, the forges of Mars produced weapons to a standard seldom matched in the Galaxy. These patterns became a benchmark by which others would be judged. In the ages since, much technology has become homogenised through the loss of knowledge and whole Forge Worlds, but Mars pattern weapons are still prized in Space Marine armouries as exemplars of their type.

Firing pulses of searing energy, plasma weapons are extremely effective against heavy infantry and light vehicles. With their long range and blast radius, Plasma Cannon are even more deadly than other designs of plasma weapon. To create this destructive force plasma weapons generate extremely high temperatures, making them volatile and prone to overheating in an explosive fashion.

SM Legion Deliverance Pattern Shotguns, £12 for ten.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/S...ttern-Shotguns


Leviathan Dreadnought with Cyclonic Melta Lance and Siege Claw, £72.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/L...and-Siege-Claw

[Gagoc The Ancient]

New from FW, that really big gun you always wanted!

Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar, £285.
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-AU/M...natus-Sagittar

The Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar is a massively destructive war engine, as rare as it is potent. Similar in design to the Ordinatus Ulator, the Sagittar differs in its primary weapon being a Volcano Cannon of prodigious power.

In the time of the Great Crusade the Ordinatus macro engines were rarer than even the Battle Titans of the Legio Titanica, and only a handful of Forge Worlds had the resources or indeed the doctrinal blessing and religious authority to produce or maintain such embodiments of the Omnissiah’s divine wrath. Such was the sacredness of these machines above all others, that an entire subcult of the Mechanicum was devoted to their worship and propitiation.

The Ordinatus Sagittar carries a trio of Volkite Culverins as its secondary armaments, whilst its primary weapon is a Belicosa pattern Volcano Cannon, more often carried by Warlord class Battle Titans. An ancient pattern of weapon whose destructive power is comparable to many shipboard cannon and planetary defence lasers, few mobile weapons platforms are capable of mounting the Belicosa simply due to its savage power requirements. When engulfed in the cannon’s cohesive light, the strongest fortress walls may be reduced to glowing embers and the most resilient armour to molten slag and vapour.

The Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar is a Lords of War choice for Mechanicum armies in Horus Heresy games. It can also be taken as a Lords of War Choice by Adeptus Mechanicus: Cult Mechanicus and Skitarii armies in games of Warhammer 40,000 using the rules found in The Horus Heresy: Mechanicum – Taghmata Army List.

The Mechanicum Ordinatus Sagittar is a complete, multi-part resin kit that includes two automata crew models.
