Interessting news for this board, is that someone is working at Forge World on a quite large (around thunderhawk size) thing and the already seen katamaran style thing is going to be released soon.

Could be anything at this point, but good know that we will be getting more love.

A DE mini Thunderhawk sized eh? Something tells me it's going to be a giant slave barge. On another related note, I really hope FW release a DE vehicle upgrade pack like they did with Eldar, ie; ways to model Flickerfield and Nightshields on. Heck, a couple of new sail and prow designs wouldn't go amiss.

And wrack and incubi hanger ons...

Are yes those too, and maybe a grotesque one while there at it.

Don't forget about a pack to make a "flagship raider", with a throne and flags and spikes and dead people.

Ill take 2, and add some corpses pack for pimpin my raidrers.

The big ship would be epic to use as ride for any archon. One problem though there are three lances on each side, and so it isn't possible to use them all.

Wait just got an epic idea. What if it would be for the duke and that you could change the lances for splinter cannons which gain the poison from the duke. Would they get the split fire from the space wolves then it would be a killing spree machine. 36 poison 3+ shots which you can divide on several squads yup that would hurt.

Nice idea, too bad the Duke only gives the poison to a unit of kabalites (W or T), not to the vehicle.

You might find the big ship can target one enemy on each side, if it's a superheavy then IIRC then you aren't limited to firing at only one target anyway under Apoc rules.

Yeah I know that that's why it is with the other stuff that isn't true XD
I was just letting my love for overkill overtake me

as a Dark Eldar, you should know it's the artistry of the kill thatr matters, overkill is gauche!

I know but I can't help to see the beauty of a sky blackend with shards carrying the most toxic sustances of the universe.

I think it is possible to make any kill poetic and artistic it is only a matter of looking.
Such overkill can be seen as a blunt axe but also as a sharp dagger punctioning the chest reaching the hart with extreme force and precision.

Besides it is not the weapon or the force you use that matters but the location.
So overkill doen't matter but it is a nice extra for me XD

FW, Snippet ME !

Possibly related to the big ship that Hydra heard about, here's a little tidbit I just found over at 40Konline from Judderr, although it's actually a month old now:

And another Super Heavy is in the pipeline for next year sometime, it is going to be a large slave ship, with rules similar to the cronos and chain-snares mixed, as it can take up slaves and distribute pain tokens.

This seems a rather good place to pop this. Forgeworld have just updated their page for GDUK '11, complete with this...


Priced at £85 and avaible at GD. No idea went on when it's up for the general public who can't afford GD tickets just to get it.

Haven't found anything regarding the rules, or am i just blind?

I guess it could really go for a grotesque delivery system with wraks and a haemi on Board.
So many modelingposibilities !

The Tantalus already has it's own thread here in the DE News & Rumour section.
