Sayl the Faithless and Nightmaw (from Warhammer Forge)
Apr 13th
Even more goodies out today with the release of Sayl the Faithless and Nightmaw.
From Warhammer Forge:
Sayl is pre-eminent among the Dolgan tribe, and his rise to ascendancy began with his allegiance to Schalkain the Vile, as one of his seven seer-apprentices. Sayl’s honeyed lies turned each acolyte against the others, and fanned the flames of suspicion into murderous strife. Eventually Schalkain was manipulated into conducting a dark rite involving Sayl and three fellow ‘loyal’ apprentices which resulted in Schalkain’s horrific death at the hands of a daemon beholden to Sayl, while the three surviving acolytes were twisted into a terrible beast known as Nightmaw. Hated and feared, Sayl the Faithless and Nightmaw now march alongside Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord.
Experimental rules are available here.
Tamurkhan on Toad Dragon (new from Warhammer Forge)
Apr 13th
Great to see more Warhammer Forge stuff coming out – this looks an enormous beast. Assuming that the model on top is Ogre Tyrant sized, it’s got to absolutely huge.
From Warhammer Forge:
The fell legend of Tamurkhan has been whispered for many centuries amongst the nefarious tribes of the Chaos Wastes. Some tales speak of him as a scion of the Great Kurgan, one of four sons each cast to the four winds to conquer and enslave. Others claim that he was once no more than vermin – a corpse-canker grown fat and clever on the spoils of the battlefield, swelled and transformed by the light of the Ruinous Powers. Perhaps the most fell creature under his command is the mighty Toad Dragon Bubebolos, a huge, reeking, primeval horror and greatest of all its bloated kind. Blessedly few in number, the Toad Dragons are lumbering horrors from a forgotten age whose flesh festers with unwholesome rot and whose black blood is clotted with maggots and carrion worms.
Experimental rules can be found here – link.
New Empire Warhammer Forge Goodies…
Mar 11th
Warhammer Forge came out and spoiled us today with two new resin sets for the Empire.
First up, they have brought out a conversion set for Imperial Handgunners. This set is designed to mix with the usual plastic Handgunners and help create detachments. According to the experimental rules, they’re only usable when named character Captain-Engineer Jubal Falk is included in the army too which is likely to limit their use in tournaments. However, they look great and we hope to see a bunch of these in Imperial armies before too long.
Secondly, they have released the frankly awesome Land Train. Coming in at a very hefty £115, this kit is absolutely huge (I’m guessing about 8″ high) and looks fantastic. This is a really stunning piece of kit that reinforces the steampunk madness of the Empire in the Warhammer world. With rules that appear very reasonable indeed, we can see this being allowed at tournaments as a Steam Tank alternative. There’s no doubt which we’d prefer to see on the tabletop!
