Lots of new things are appearing at Games Day Chicago. The first and foremost that caught my eye of course are anything Dark Eldar related. The Tantalus looks beautiful. Also included below is another pic of a Praetor Super Heavy Assault Launcher.

Lots of Forgeworld releases are also on the horizon, take a look at the following list. Videos are also included from the Forgeworld Seminar.
