haha np ! :) Im not much in the gaming side so I look at things purely from a model-perspective really (so to be fair I probably miss things out) - I think they should do Savage Orks though, since they arent even in the book anymore. I'd think they could do Exodite Eldar very well too.

Basicly id rather see FW do factions like that - especially when you consider the LaTD and such (I dont care for Lost and the damned, but those renegade models even tempt me) then these sub-factions ect are probably the most creative and unique FW are allowed to be.

The last rumour I heard was that the Grey Knights get called in in the final stages of the Vraks war (which makes sense with all these daemons kicking about). There's already been a couple of new Grey Knights models recently, the Psycannon for Razorback or Land Raider and the Grey Knights Land Raider Redeemer, so it seems like they're starting to get some loving.

Apologies for going off on one- I saw someone wanting more Imperial stuff instead of the Ork stuff I've been longing for for so long, and lost it a bit. ;) After the months of "look, new air filters for your Leman Russ!", I've gotten a bit cranky. ;) I do agree that Adeptus Mechanicus would be interesting to see/Orkify- I'd like to see Forgeworld's take on a Knight Titan for sure.

combo post but just checking both threads for suggestions/conversation

looks like the bottom pic of the chaos walker took some influence from the iron kingdoms cryx army for warmachine. the crustacian features were quick for me to draw a paralell.

does anybody else agree?

Since we can not see the end of the last picture's name, I vote we call it the
"Khornate Slaughterpus"

Kind of terrifying, right?

its one of the Nob Bikers, a conversion kit for the Ork bikers from GW, that I managed to get my hands on on the day.

Here is a link to a pic of them. the whole album is from the FW Open day, so have a flick through;

Is that a new ork buggy in the bottom left of the Nurgle Drone photo? It looks wider than a warbike and it has a banner pole.

i wish my camera hadn't of died on me..it was on the other side of the same shelf with the vendetta on. It did have a sign stating it was a vulture with punisher cannons. guess thats how their making the vulture still have some appeal compared to the vendetta. the ven out does the vulture anti armour wise but with those cannons it gives the vulture alot of anti infantry shots.

Well, considering that they were founded as a company to make additional Imperial Guard models, I'd say that they're not doing too badly. Don't like it? Petition GW to make another subsidiary company based on Xenos.

No need for sarcasm there! FW are unfortuantly quite limited for what they are so to me, a new faction (admech) is more interesting than building onto existing ones GW sell IMO - allthough if they have to be limited to only spinoffs then perhaps they should do the Savage Ork Boarboy or some other subfaction- Its the best I can hope for because GW, let alone FW would ever delve into more unconventional aliens like Enslavers or Umbra (which is what id rather want).

It would seem insane, but my guess is they're trying to up-power the Vulture in light of the Vendetta-flying-lascannon-platform-of-doom, making it a more attractive choice, but also specialising it as an infantry-killer.

Secondly, Khorne Slaughterfiend FOR THE WIN!

Also, its well known that a few of the guys there are Military buffs, so obviously they will do tanks from the great wars. Heck, look at AI, its essentially Battle For Britton

Depends on how much inspirational material that they have to work with, too.
There are hundreds of different tank designs for them to base their work on, but the flimsy skiffs and skimmers that Dark Eldar like to use don't show up anywhere except in Return of the Jedi. After pyramids, there aren't any Egyptian vehicles, structures or seige engines to base Necron work on - later tombs are no good, mostly because holes in the ground count as terrain.

Who cares about Necrons and Dark Eldar. They are lame armies anyway.

Also; Khorne Daemon Prince looks like he's overbalanced. Too much weight forward on his spindly legs. Looks like he needs a thick tail or a pair of stubby wings to keep from falling over.

We of the Inquisition should try not to get our hopes up too much. We're bound to be disappointed one way or another.

Indeed! The paint job does not do them justice!
The same thing happened to the last Nurgle Daemon Prince that Forgeworld released. The models have the potential to be fairly stomach-churningly disgusting, but the painting just doesn't bring that out.

The Blood Slaughterer and Khorne Prince are both just as poorly painted as the Drones and the previous Nurgle Prince, however, so I can't say that the crew is simply discriminating against Nurgle.

The Chaos Gods are the same Chaos Gods that represent all races and species, persistent throughout time since before rise and fall of the Eldar, before human evolution, and before even the oldest extinct races. The infinite shapes and forms of daemon engines and daemonic beasts are the culmination of eons of fears, diseases, conflicts and changes, given material existence. Surely you don't expect the insignificant human form to hold monopoly over the attentions of Chaos!
