This is happening, we have the pics! Forge World is coming back to GW Stores. Come get the scoop on more BIG moves by GW this summer!
First we saw a tiny crop of a pic this morning, and now we have the “big picture” that lines up nearly exactly with the rumors that we’ve reported and our own thoughts on the matter.
What Was Rumored:
Via Adeptus Astartes
From outside the Formosan spy network we received news today from a previously unsanctioned rogue trader:
Apply salt to taste for this one folks, however it does seem to line up with the image somewhat.
Word here in +++REDACTED+++ is that Games Workshop are looking to test run the selling of Forgeworld models in stores. I was informed by a store manager who was away last week for a staff meet up in +++REDACTED++, that they are looking to do a small test with the possible foresight of either stocking models directly in stores or making them available to be purchased through stores on the mail order and +++REDACTED+++. He mentioned to me about a Terminator model for 30k and said there was another model planned but files to mention what.
Here is the model that’s causing quite the sir. And if you kinda “fill in the banks” with the positioning of the words in the image you can make a few jumps at conclusions:
Looks like from the pictures to be a World Eater in modified Cataphractii armor with a glaive. From the text I am assuming that it says “while supplies last and “X date” June. Also the underneath may say Forge World or Games Workshop.uk as well.
What We Know:
It’s Official Forge World IS coming to GW Stores again!

So again this looks to be a co-laboration by GW and Forge World as rumored. Now we can see that clearly noted on the poster itself as well.
The Formosan spy network has come though, and the proof is in the pudding. Thanks to all for bringing getting this to us to share with all the hobbyists around the world! Kudos of course to GW as well for their continued forward thinking and innovation!
Is FW expanding their reach to stores (finally)?
