Recognize this guy? Forge World’s got a new Hired Gun on the way for Necromunda, and he’s brought a little friend with him for some extra support.
Forge World just gave us a look at a new Necromunda Hired Gun release that will be available for pre-order soon. Let’s take a look at Slate Merdena and Macula, and see what they had to say them.
What’s better than a battle-hardened House Orlock Hired Gun? One who comes with his own cyber-enhanced mastiff!
Back at the Horus Heresy and Necromunda Weekender, we previewed Slate Merdena and Macula, a pair of Hired Guns (the former takes creds, the latter is happy with biscuits) from House Orlock. You won’t have to wait too long to grab these guys for your gang, and we’ve got some painted versions to tide you over while you wait.
Like the rest of Necromunda’s Hired Guns, there are several ways you can use these models. Rules for Slate Merdena and Macula will be available in a future Gang War supplement, but you’re also welcome to use them as members for your Orlock Gang – Gang War III even contains rules for cyber-mastiffs.
House Orlock players are getting themselves a new Hired Guns duo, and they look amazing. Rules for these new minis will not be available in the upcoming Gang War 3, but there will be rules in there for cyber-mastiffs. Though we do not have a release date yet Forge World did say the new Slate Merdena and Macula minis will be available soon.
This isn’t the only model we are waiting for the release of. 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. Last week 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, new releases for The Hobbit are now available, and we’ve seen a lot of nice previews of what’s to come for Forge World.
