THE GORGON IS BACK! Forge World just announced that after nearly 10 years the Gorgon is being re-released! Wow, don’t miss this!
As usual, Forge World updated the pre-orders section on their webstore. After months of Space Marine releases, they took a step in a new direction bringing us back the Gorgon transport and a Krieg bundle.
These items are up for pre-order right now and will ship on December 13, 2019.
Gorgon Armored Assault Transport $270
The Gorgon transports up to 50 Imperial Guard infantry across the battlefield in safety. It is armed with two twin heavy stubbers and two Gorgon mortars, the latter of which can be replaced with the supplied heavy bolters, heavy flamers or heavy stubbers.
This 54-piece highly-detailed resin kit makes one Gorgon Armoured Assault Transport.
Rules for fielding it in games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in Imperial Armour Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum.
Harkening back to a rough design of the WWII Higgins boat, the Gorgon is bigger than it looks. Bringing 50 total Guardsmen to the frontline, this thing is intimidating to see on the table.
Death Korps of Krieg Infantry Platoon $392
Start your Death Korps of Krieg army or add in some reinforcements with this bundle. It includes a 10-man infantry squad, advancing on the enemy and features a sergeant and a guardsman with a flamer. A 5-man command squad is made up of a senior officer, vox operator, standard bearer and two guardsmen. The bundle is rounded out with three 2-man heavy weapon teams – one armed with a lascannon, one with an autocannon and the final one armed with a twin heavy stubber. All 21 troops are ready to die in whatever siege you send them into.

If it’s always been a dream of yours to run some Kriegsmen, now you can get a nice building block for a one-click buy. The upfront cost is a little steep, but you’ll need something to fit into your Gorgon, right?
