Forge World New Releases - Destroyers, Rapier & More.




New releases are up on the Forge World site.  Basically the items we saw for sale last weekend at the Forge World Open Day.  More juicy Horus Heresy Goodness.


Legion Mk IV Destroyer Squad

Considered dishonourable by some Legions, who eschew them altogether or make little use of them, the arsenal of a Destroyer squad includes rad-weapons, bio-alchem munitions and the crawling horror of phosphex. These hellish devices, which irrevocably taint the ground upon which they are used, have been forbidden by the Emperor’s own edict, and with good reason. For during the long nightmare of the Age of Strife, many life-sustaining colony worlds were rendered barren by their use, becoming uninhabitable charnel houses where once these verdant planets held thriving civilisations.

It is little wonder therefore that those who wield these potent weapons of destruction are heavily protected from their effects – the fire-blackened and chem-scalded Destroyers being clad in modified and reinforced suits of power armour, essential to withstand the pernicious rad-taint of their own weaponry. Often shunned and distrusted by their Legion brothers, the Destroyers are deemed a necessary evil at best during these violent times, yet none can deny the potency of their relic-weapons.
Models designed by Will Hayes, the Legion MKIV Destroyer Squad contains a set of five multi-part resin models with five pairs of Tigrus pattern bolt pistols, as well as three phosphex bombs and an optional rad-missile launcher.. Available to pre-order now for despatch from the 3rd of May.


Legion Rapier Graviton Cannon

The Rapier armoured carrier is a semi-automated weapons carriage, equipped with on-board targeting systems and powerful generators. It is designed to mount support weaponry too large and cumbersome for even the superhuman strength of a Space Marine to carry, and the Rapier’s relatively small size makes it an ideal support weapon both in attack and defence. 

The Graviton Cannon is one of a group of gravity projection devices. The Power of the Graviton Cannon is sufficiant to rupture organs and crack bones even inside armour, but it's primary use is to impede the enemy and damage machinery without the risk of seconday explosions.

Model designed by Mark Bedford and Stuart Williamson, this multi-part resin kit is supplied with two Space Marine crew in MkIII ‘Iron’ Armour.



 Legion Rapier Quad Heavy Bolter

The Rapier Armoured Carrier is an ancient device, one of many such technological relics of the dawning days of Mankind’s stellar empire. A bulky, armoured track unit, which mounts a powerful antomantic reactor. One of the carriages common armaments is the Quad Heavy Bolter, able to lay down a withering hail of fire. 


Realm of Battle Board - Crashed Thunderhawk 
 
The Realm of Battle Crashed Thunderhawk makes for a particularly impressive centrepiece; the mightiest of Space Marine flyers brought low, shattered and hurling into the ground. Blake Spence has painstakingly designed the internal mechanics of this mighty gunship after inflicting terrible impact damage upon its hull; revealing the intricate airframe that underpins the Thunderhawk's imposing structure.

This detailed new scenery tile measures 2’ x 2’ (609mm x 609mm) and is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 3rd May.



I hope Forge World releases more Realm of Battle boards.  I can see some interesting ones coming.  Destroyer Land Raiders, Bunkers, etc.
