Forge World New Releases - Emperors Children, Iron Hands




Forge World has knocked it out of the park with the new Emperor's Children Phoenix Terminators.  Plus the Iron Hands get a Contemptor and shoulder pads.


I have to say the best part of the AMAZING Phoenix Terminators is, that being Emperors Children, who use the sign of the Aquila, you can use these for ANY Legion.  And they are truly stunning.  They are £ 45 for a set of 5, which comes out to $ 70 US.  Just a few random "III" s in there you need to lose!


Emperor's Children Phoenix Terminators

Taking inspiration and title from the legendary bird of ancient Terran myth, the Phoenix Guard of the Emperor’s Children formed an elite cadre within the Legion, serving primarily as the Primarch Fulgrim’s personal retinue. On the field of battle, the Phoenix Guard were storied as providing an impenetrable ring of courage and steel, barring the approach of any enemy who dared challenge their Primarch. They fought in many spheres of battle, from lightning-swift assault forces to veteran tactical units, but it was their Terminators who were most feared, their martial skill all but unmatched across the Legions.

The Emperor’s Children Legion Phoenix Terminators, designed by Keith Robertson, contains five multi-part resin models. Each Terminator is resplendent with fine details and the iconography of the Emperor’s Children Legion. This set is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 30th September.


Iron Hands Contemptor Dreadnought

The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought was once a mainstay of the armoured might of the Astartes Legions of old. Larger and stronger than standard pattern Dreadnoughts, the Contemptor’s systems featured many examples of techno-arcana steeped in the sacred mysteries of the Legio Cybernetica. Some chapters still boast these war relics amongst their ranks, and whenever the Contemptor takes to the field of battle, it is an echo of the power of ancient days.

Model designed by Will Hayes and Israel Gonzalez. Complete resin kit depicting Iron Hands Legion iconography. Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought arms shown in some images sold separately. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 30th September.

The Iron Hands Contemptor is £ 33 or $ 52.


Iron Hands Shoulder Pads


A set of 10 shoulder pads for Mk III power armour featuring Iron Hands Legion iconography. Models designed by Steve Whitehead.  10 Shoulder Pads for £9 or $ 14 US.


I am in for those Termies.  Love the look.  I think incorporating as many different marks into my 40K force is my goal, while my 30K Raven Guard and Thousand Sons will of course be all what Forge World releases for them.

  1. Correct me if Im wrong, but wasnt the EC the only legion allowed to use the Aquila the way the EC do? Making these EC only anyway.

  2. I like how they're reminiscent of these old guys:

  3. Individuals within other legions were sometimes allowed to bear the Aquila. They would act as a messenger of the Emperor in those cases.

    However, what Loken is saying is that since they're all bearing the Aquila, you could easily work them into any 40k Army.
