New MK1 Deimos Rhino and Relic Contemptor (Updated)

The ubiquitous Rhino Armoured Personnel Carrier is a mainstay of the Space Marine Chapters, and has been in continuous use for ten thousand years. Its true origins are more distant still, and ancient records mention the RH1-N-0 Tracked Exploration and Multi-Purpose Defence Vehicle STC accompanying explorator missions during Mankind’s Golden Age. Re-armed and re-purposed for military use, the Rhino has remained a mainstay of the Imperium’s might over the millennia since

It seems that Forgeworld has gone retro. With the release of the old school Land Raider on its way, and now this. A kit to upgrade your rhino to a MK1 Deimos variant. Basically looking much like the ones I remember back in 3rd edition. I like this kit a lot. For all you Grey Knight players, Deimos is the Grey Knights Forgeworld. Want some relics? here ya go.

Also being released is a Relic Contemptor, a body variant for the Contemptor Dreadnaughts. A much more detailed body variant. I prefer this quite a bit to the other body, especially if you are going to use this in your standard army as a relic from the past.



Given the rarity of the Contemptor-pattern chassis, it is not uncommon for those Chapters blessed enough to count these ancient war machines amongst their arsenal to embellish their armoured sarcophagus with scripture, honour scrolls and additional details to commemorate the heroism and indomitable valour of the Ancient enshrined within


The final release today is Tamurkhan The Throne of Chaos.

This book retells the brutal conquests and bloody battles of the Chaos Warlord Tamurkhan and his horde in their quest to attain the favour of the Dark Gods. In this 208 page, full-colour, hardback book you will find: the saga of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, lavishly illustrated and darkly detailed; an extensive bestiary section and a campaign system allowing you to fight the battles of Tamurkhan’s horde in games of Warhammer.

The book also contains The Legion of Azgorh, a fully playable Chaos Dwarf Army list, as well as rules for playing massive battles with forces drawn from all the different Chaos Army books
