WARHAMMER FEST 2016: PART 2
You might have noticed that tickets for the Forge World Open Day 2016 are on sale now. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the fantastic new books and models that were talked about at Warhammer Fest will be on show at the Open Day, you might even be able to get your hands on a few of them ahead of them being availabe on the web store.
So what was shown off at Warhammer Fest? Here’s two of my favourites that were shown on the day…
The Mastodon is huge! It’ll be carrying your troops and dreadnoughts into battle soon.
The Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List collects together all of the units available to any Space Marine Legion – and this collector’s edition looks amazing!
Legion Mastodon:
The Mastodon was in use by the Iron HandsSpace Marine Legion during the early stages of the Horus Heresy and most likely before. It is likely that other Space Marine Legions used the Mastodon as well. For example, at the outset of the One-Five-Four-Six ‘Kharaatan’ Campaign, the Salamanders had enough Mastodons to transport the entire Legion force present – approx 6000 Legionaries.(Via Lexicanum)

Two solid releases either way for Heresy fans, that I am sure will be worth the wait!
