Januray FW release, Imperial Armour Volume 1, 2nd edition - updated Dec. 19

Just in case your wallet wasn't going to take a big enough hit already this holiday season, IA 1 (2e) is now available for pre-order. Imperial Navy gear is not included, since that was covered in the recent Aeronautica, but all IG fighting vehicles can be found here, updated for 6th edition 40K. That includes all vehicles released since the original edition was first released.

Personally, I don't play Guard or Muh-reenz, so my wallet's safe, at least for now

Hi there,

The very first of our large Imperial Armour books returns to our online store this week in a fully revised and updated edition. Imperial Armour Volume One – Second Edition: Imperial Guard is available to order now and as we’re on the very cusp of December, we’ve also got a reminder in today’s newsletter of our upcoming order deadlines for pre-Christmas delivery.

Imperial Armour Volume One - Second Edition: Imperial Guard

Here at Forge World we've always loved tanks, and from our very earliest beginnings it is the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard that have inspired many of our hobbyists to take to the field of battle. This week sees the return of the very first large Imperial Armour book to our range, rewritten and expanded to be fully compatible with the 6th Edition of Warhammer 40,000.

Imperial Armour Volume One - Second Edition: Imperial Guard is a book dedicated to the fighting vehicles of the Imperial Guard; the steel-clad behemoths that rumble and clank their way across the battlefields of the far future, unleashing fire and shell at the enemies of Mankind. Inside this 294-page book, the full panoply of Imperial Guard armoured vehicles are displayed in exhaustive detail, including profiles and rules for over fifty tanks, support vehicles, artillery pieces and super-heavy vehicles, alongside extensive background material on these war machines, their munitions and manufacture. You can find a full list of contents here.

In addition to this wealth of information, the book also includes a full army list that allows you to field the sledgehammer of Imperial military power: the Imperial Guard Armoured Battlegroup. On top of this are also rules for some of the most famous Tank Aces of the Imperium including General Grizmund of the 1st Narmenian Armoured Regiment, made famous in New York Times-bestselling author Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts novel Necropolis (also available in e-book format).

Imperial Armour Volume One – Second Edition: Imperial Guard is available to order now for immediate despatch, and we can still guarantee pre-Christmas delivery worldwide.

Spy pic of new FW Imperial flyer released today, set for release with the above IA Volume 1, 2e.

And apparently the old Lightning and Aquila Lander models are no more.
