Fancy Forge World Open Day Sneaky Snaps!
April 1, 2014 by brennon
Last weekend was the Forge World Open Day and one of our community members, Owen Parry, managed to pick up a whole bunch of images to share with you folks. You might well have seen some of these out there already but here is our pick of the bunch...
First up we have a look at the Siege Automaton with a rather large gun strapped to the back. Of course these have their use in the Horus Heresy and such but it would be awesome to start using these as tank stand-ins and use it as a proxy Vindicator for your Space Marines.
Of course the Mechanicum and plenty of other options were also shown off. I think these Thallax troops are some of the coolest looking pieces they have done yet. It's also nice to see the scale of the Siege Automaton when compared to the rest of the soldiers.
If you prefer a particular Chapter then you can also pick up some of these Upgrade Sets which allow you to put a firm stamp of approval onto your Space Marine armour. I think of the three there the Salamanders are looking the best; especially when you consider their new Pyroclasts.
Also wouldn't really be a Forge World Open Day without some awesome looking tanks and here is one of them. I love the more hi-tech look of the equipment and weapons that the Space Marines were using during the Heresy. It is a nice contrast to what they have been left with in the 41st Millennium.
I think these kind of folk are also the flavour of the month right now yes? If you fancy getting your hands on a different kind of Knight then Forge World might have the one for you. A rather impressive is spindly cousin of the Imperial Knight that we got from Games Workshop last month.
Did you go to the Forge World Open Day? If so what was your favourite part?

That Titan looks pretty impressive. I wonder if it will come with a molded cockpit and pilot.
cough *khador* cough…
You need glasses 🙂
No, he called it. I cannot unsee it now….
Where? none of it looks even remotely Khador
Had a good look at it when I was there and the one on show had a molded cockpit.
Damn, that titan looks amazing!
And forgeworld triumphs’ GW again.
Hopefully not to expensive.
Its forge world of course it is going to be expensive.
But the pictures don’t do it justice.
Yes that puppy and every other model in this preview are expensive… but well worth it. That is unless you ask my wife and Lord knows every model I buy isn’t worth anything in her eyes.
For shame ! We should create a group for hobbyists against spouses and partners who think their hobby is worthless. I think it’s only with gaming (all kinds) that this terrible and pervasive sentiment poisons our lives… the notion that somehow “gaming” is “for kids” and has less value as an adult activity, and isn’t worth spending whatever money one spends on it… This is as much a series of non sequiturs as I’ve ever seen… something for kids doesn’t necessarily have any less value as an adult activity, and the amount spent on any activity is completely unrelated to… Read more »
Why is there only one +?
Heh…I think you just created it….
Hobbyists Against Anti-gaming Spouses and Partners – HAASP
Just to play devil’s advocate: When I used to go to GW I saw a lot of guys who were in the ‘working poor’ demographic who spent a fortune on increasingly expensive models while their families went without. And some confessed they gamed or painted at the store almost every day. That was the foundation for a lot of the angst spouses expressed. Never growing up has a down side.
I’m pretty fortunate as my wife plays Dark Eldar. The only problem we have is having the pennies to spend in the firstplace.
Has anybody else noticed that it’s always the smug husband who posts on here and never the wife who games…..I sometimes question the veracity of your claims…. 😉
On a serious note, @Warzan did espouse the hope of increasing the number of women who subscribe so shouldn’t you encourage your eldar playing wife to comment also?
