Today we’re getting our first preview of what’s in store for the attendees of Warhammer Fest. Come take a look at the latest preview from Forge World!
Forge World just gave us a preview of what will be up for grabs at the upcoming Warhammer Fest. Let’s take a look at the new Blood Bowl minis, Alpharius, and merchandise and see what they had to say them.
Warhammer Fest is fast approaching – and with it, the opportunity to pick up some exciting exclusive models and merchandise, including the return of a certain master brewer…
Josef Bugman has been an iconic character in Warhammer for decades, giving his name to our dwarven pub at Warhammer World. Josef Bugman predates even the White Dwarf, and could well lay a claim to being Warhammer’s longest-running named character. With Warhammer Fest around the corner, we thought now would be a great opportunity to bring back this legendary brewer – and what better way to do it that through the sport of Blood Bowl!
That’s right – you’ll soon be able to add Josef Bugman as both a coach AND a Star Player for your team! We’ll have rules for Josef Bugman available soon, but if you want to add him to your roster, make sure to get your tickets to Warhammer Fest for your first chance to buy him.
Talking of Alpharius, if you’re looking to be among the first to add this legendary Primarch (or one of his more convincing doubles) to your collection, he’ll be on early release at Warhammer Fest.
The new Alpharius model will be available for everyone attending Warhammer Fest May 12th -13th, as well as the new Josef Bugman Blood Bowl mini, and new merchandise. Make sure you’re checking back in with us as we find out even more Warhammer fest event exclusives and early access items, we’ll be giving you updates as soon as we find out.
Here are even more minis that Forge World has previewed recently and we’re still waiting for their releases.
We’ve been getting a lot of previews lately of what’s on the way from Forge World. A few weeks ago we saw the announcement of Alpharius and some new Alpha Legion releases that will be on the way soon.
Of all the Primarchs, none excel so much at subterfuge as Alpharius, but today, we’re able to uncover this mysterious master of the Alpha Legion. We got a sneak peek of Alpharius at the Horus Heresy and Necromunda weekender, but now, it’s time for all to be revealed – at least, as much as anything can be with the Alpha Legion:
While Alpharius is known for his variety of disguises and love of deception, this rendition of Alpharius portrays him in his full panoply of war, and fits perfectly with any Alpha Legion units you already have. Unlike all other Primarchs, he’s been depicted with his helmet on – for all we know, there could just be a particularly talented legionnaire in there while Alpharius hides in one of your Tactical Squads…
Hot on the heels of the exciting reveal of Alpharius, we’re excited to announce that another long-awaited Alpha Legion unit is being brought to life soon – the Lernaean Terminators.
The Lernaean Terminators kit is perfect for making a worthy bodyguard for Alpharius, and has a range of tactical roles in your Alpha Legion army. It also features a Terminator-mounted conversion beamer – a rare weapon that transforms the squad into a long-ranged firebase! Even if you don’t use this weapon on your squad, it’s ideal for converting a Master of the Forge in Terminator armour.
That’s not all – Forge World will also be releasing another set of vehicle doors, designed to allow you to customise nearly any vehicle in your army – from Deimos Pattern Rhinos to the Thunderhawk itself – with the heraldry of the XXth.
There are also new weapon packs for House Goliath that will be available for pre-order soon.
With House Escher now armed to the teeth with a vastly extended range of weaponry, it’s high time the Goliaths evened the odds with an expanded arsenal of their own. Soon, you’ll be able to pick up three new weapon packs, each absolutely crammed with deadly new gear for your gang:
We don’t have a release date for these new House Goliath weapon packs, just that they’ll be available for pre-order soon.
We also got a preview recently of an old Rogue Trader model that is going to be getting revamped, and available for a limited time.
Very soon, the Land Speeder will be receiving similar treatment, as this classic design is brought to life in glorious resin. The new Forge World Land Speeder captures the spirit of its progenitor perfectly – while the mould lines may be crisper and the detail a lot sharper, there’s no mistaking the influence of Rogue Trader here:
So there you have it, we’re finally getting a look at some of what the attendees of Warhammer Fest will have early access to, and we’ve seen a lot of nice previews of what’s to come for Forge World.
