Hi there,

It’s now only a few days until Christmas, but there’s no respite here at Forge World. We’ll be working throughout the festive period, and our opening times are listed later in today’s newsletter. First, though, we’re excited to announce no less than five fantastic releases, all of which are available to pre-order now for despatch early in the New Year!

Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter
Following the Saint-Saen Crusade’s liberation of twelve worlds in the Segmentum Obscurus, STC patterns were recovered for an air superiority fighter, smaller and more agile than the iconic Thunderbolt. The Lightning has since been disseminated to other worlds with strong ties to the Imperial Navy – notably Bakka and Hydraphur – and production has recently begun within the Segmentum Solar, resulting in the Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter.

The ‘Strike’ variant of the Lightning is equipped with a potent armament of six Hellstrike missiles as well as its twin-linked lascannon, fulfilling a dedicated ground attack role.

Designed by Daren Parrwood, the Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter is a detailed multi-part resin kit, supplied with a twin-linked lascannon and six Hellstrike missiles. This model is fielded using the rules for the Lightning, which can be found in Imperial Armour Aeronautica.

Sons of Horus Justaerin Terminators and Justaerin Weapon Set
The black-armoured Justaerin were the pride of the XVI Legion Astartes. Tasked with forming the ‘point of the spear’, their attacks were directed at the heart of an opposing target or a decapitation strike against an enemy force. The Justaerin and their commander, First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon, were early proponents of Tactical Dreadnought armour, and many entered combat in singularly-modified Cataphractii pattern Terminator plate.

Designed by Will Hayes, the Justaerin Terminators set contains five detailed multi-part resin models, each packed with Legion-specific iconography. Will has also designed a Justaerin Weapons Set, which contains a multi-melta, four Phobos-pattern combi-bolters and five Cthonian-pattern power axes. The Justaerin bodies can be combined with our Cataphractii Power Fists, Power Axes and Special Weapons sets as well as the new Justaerin weapons, allowing for a huge variety of modelling options.

Full rules and background for using the Justaerin can be found in The Horus Heresy Book One: Betrayal, and if you want to discover more about these elite warriors and their Legion, we recommend the Black Library classic Horus Rising and an exclusive audio short from the BL Advent Calendar; Warmaster by John French.

Emperor’s Children Legion Brass Etch Symbols
Uniquely amongst the Legiones Astartes, the Emperor’s Children, and their primarch Fulgrim, were granted the singular honour of bearing the Palatine Aquila upon their chestplates. The Master of Mankind’s personal heraldry was otherwise only granted to the most legendary heroes of the Imperium.

Designed by Paul Rudge, this sheet of Emperor’s Children Legion Brass Etch Symbols is packed with over fifty detailed brass Legion symbols and numerics, as well as Palatine Aquilas. These symbols are perfect for use with our full range of Space Marine Legion Infantry and Vehicles to further personalise your IIIrd Legion force.

Space Marine Legion MkIV Power Weapon Set
The warriors of the Legiones Astartes are the Imperium’s elite, and their officers are commonly equipped with the finest wargear imaginable. In the 41st Millennium, the Armouriums of the great Space Marine Chapters contain many war-relics, ancient weapons with histories as noble and storied as the battle-brothers that have borne them into combat.

Designed by Will Hayes, the MkIV Power Weapon Set contains a huge variety of weapons and equipment. The kit comprises ten melta-bombs, five pairs of arms, four Tigrus-pattern bolt pistols, three power fists, three lightning claws, two power axes, two power swords, two chainswords, two Charnabal Sabres, two combat blades, two hand-flamers, two plasma pistols, a thunder hammer, a heavy chainsword as well as two modified MkIV torsos. This cornucopia of wargear is perfect for use with our range of resin Space Marine Infantry, and is also fully compatible with Games Workshop’s plastic kits.

All of these fantastic new releases are available to pre-order now for despatch from 4th January – perfect for that Christmas money that will soon be burning a hole in your pocket.

Merry Christmas From All at Forge World!
In 2013, the Necrons are coming!

I already liked the look of the Lightning, but WOW! I really like the Voss Pattern. Justaerin Termies, ooh are they "nasty". I like them too. I can't wait until they finally release a figure for Horus. Hopefully they do both a Pre-Heresy and a Post- Heresy figure.

Definitely. Especially if they make a Pre-Heresy version. I'd love to use him in an Apocalypse game.

I don't think they'll do a post-heresy Horus, as the whole point of the heresy is him dying in the end.

Har, har, hardee-har, har. Very funny. Post-Heresy meaning after he went all dark and emo.

Well, that's not post heresy... That is heresy.

It's pre-heresy Horus, and Heresy Horus.

Since we'll be getting a Horus model for Istvaan III I can't say if he'll have any warp gifts or not. He might have some though, I don't know.

Since I do have the book Horus Heresy: Book One, if they release his figure for Istvan III than no he will not have any overt Chaos gifts.

Mr. King, please play nice.

But as pointed out by the others, the post-Heresy bit does not happen until after the siege of Terra is over, which had been lifted when Horus was slain by the God Emperor himself. After that we are ushered into an era known as the Scouring, which properly kicks off the post-Heresy era we are in to this very day.

Horus does not allow for Chaos to augment his being until after the Istvaan massacres, this is pointed out in the novels as something he wants to do on his own terms, without meddling from the Chaos gods. He does however at this point wear the trademark black suit of terminator armour with the Warmaster's Talon and Worldbreaker, a mace of monstrous proportion and power.

Winnie, please don't let it get to your head when the 25th swings around.

Regarding Primarch releases: The statted models found in the first Forge World door stopper will all be turned into models. Angron was the first of the batch, with three more (Horus, Fulgrim and Mortarion) to go along with a pile of special characters including a set with of Loken versus Abaddon including a diorama base, recreating a climatic moment from the novels.
