Games Day '11 Forgeworld Seminar Info Dump

This is a precursor to video of the full seminar. Its uploading, ever so slowly, to Youtube as I type.



Big news summary for folks that cannot wait:



More Contemptor arms.(Plasma Cannon, Heavy Conversion Beamer, Mortis Pattern(Typhoon Launchers and Assault Cannons on each arm), Heavy Bolters)

Imperial Armour 11 is set for sale Nov-Dec.(He said Holidays)

Imperial Armour 12 is likely to feature Dark Eldar

More Marine Armor variants to come...

More Marine shoulder pad sets...

More Land Raider Variants(a plasma cannon variant was explicitly mentioned)

They will continue to introduce Special Character models from the Badab War.(A beautiful Techmarine with a conversion beamer was shown off)

A full picture of the huge Dark Eldar skimmer was shown



And lots of Warhammer Forge stuff that I didn't really care about, but I have footage of that as well! The Skaven Brood Mother was all that really stuck out in my mind.



That's all off the top of my head, but the full seminar footage is forthcoming. Tonight is likely, but I cannot guarantee it because I'm looking at the first part and there's still about 100 minutes left on the upload.



Forgive the poor writing please. I'm starving because I refuse to pay concession stand prices and this plate of curry chicken is calling my name.

The Contemptor wields a HEAVY Conversion Beamer(the speaker was very specific on that), and the Graviton Gun is built into the hand accompanying it.



There's a Space Wolf character, Bran Redmaw, in two different forms. First form is his 'normal' form, wearing Runic Armor. The other is him in his 'Wulfen' form.



There's a Crassus variant, called the 'Praetor'. It's a huge missile launching platform.

Upside:

The Praetor makes my idea of a Crassus Command and Control Vehicle a much much better thing.



So we have the Crassus 'in charge', with a Commander directing fire to where the Praetors need to be firing.



Also: Contemptor with TL Assault Cannons and head mounted MLs makes me happy. Especially because it pretty much looks like a giant Terminator.

I am hoping/thinking that the contemptors may get armor upgrade packs... I dunno, they just seem to be begging for more detail. I know it fits with the ph sabertooth artwork, but there is a lot , and I mean A LOT more that could be done to them, and it looks like they have enough large surfaces that icon packs or even plating could be attached easily if they released something along those lines.



I would like to see the contemptor chassis as it is now form the basis for a all kinds of conversion packs. It would be a fun and interesting way to go about things IMO ! I know I would be tempted to get modular upgrades!

The icon packs already fit on the Contemptor chassis pretty well, so that's not an issue.

I'm aware of that, which is cool, but I was more interested in a Chaos version of the model. If there's one in the pipeline I'd rather hold off to get that rather than converting one out of the imperial version.



Just watched the video and I'm even more jealous of all the weapon variants. Not too crazy about the cyclone missile launcher up top, but those duel assault cannons look badass.

Glad you guys got a chance to see the vids. I'm just sorry the quality isn't better. I ran out of memory on my digi cam after Vid 2 and recorded the rest on my Android. I'm still punching myself in the nuts over how I screwed up Video 3, but at least 4 was back to normal.



As far as Chaos variants of the Contemptor go he confirmed they are in the pipeline. They're doing Contemptors for all major chapters and, probably, the Legions. Apparently, they're selling really well.



I'm finishing up processing video 7 right now and there's one more to go, but not a whole lot more as far as revelations go. I'm ****ing tired.

Also, the more they support it, the more excited I get about even the Storm of Magic stuff. Not really huge into WHFB , but I'm always happy to see new expansions get the support they need.

As has been the standard for non- UK GDs , everything shown is from Forge World. But their stuff is always worth getting excited about. I'm very glad they are going crazy with the Contemptor. It is a very cool design, and they can do a lot with it. I don't love the Master of the Forge, but I will get it for the backpack. As usual, FW saves the rumor side of the show. Cheers for the videos, pics, and reporting!
