Coming soon from Forgeworld: Space Wolves, New Realm of Battle Tile and More


Forgeworld revealed some new models with the Varagyr Terminators, Space Wolves Legion Praetor, and the Grey Slayers upgrade kit. There was also some additional things, like a new tile with a wrecked Warlord Titan for a Realm of Battle Tile, which I had not seen yet, and more.

We got a chance to check out some more upcoming units for the Space Wolves. Joining the soon-to-be-released Varagyr Terminators and the awesome Space Wolves Legion Praetor, the Grey Slayers Upgrade Pack allows you to build your Vlka Fenryka with a range of wargear, designed to represent the dizzying array of weapons available to these warrior warbands.
There are a couple of upgrade kits on the way, each featuring different weapons. Our favourites are the runic combat shields featured in one of the sets – these should allow you to build your battleline infantry as a shield wall, hearkening back to the distant historical origins of these savage Space Marines.
We also got a look at some upcoming scenery and something very close to hobby sacrilege – if you’re of sensitive disposition, avert your eyes now…
Usually, if you see a Warlord Titan in this kind of state, something has gone horribly, horribly wrong – but in this case, it looks like the Forge World scenery team are working on another Realm of Battle tile (we hope!).
Finally, the Forge World team showed off some of their new Legion Vehicle Doors for the Imperial Fists. Forge World is currently hard at work updating every original founding Legion with a new set of doors, including those for the Deimos Pattern Rhino and (for loyalists), the Repulsor. If you’ve not seen doors for your Legion yet, worry not – chances are they’ll be out before long!
Finally, the New Year’s Open Day saw some very exciting news for Legio Custodes players – rules are on the way for using your models in Warhammer 40,000 alongside the new plastic Adeptus Custodes.
