Forgeworld Open Day 2012

That doesn't do much for the idea of an A-10 style tank-killing gun, though. The GAU-8 was designed to defeat all existing and forthcoming tank armors, so a Str 6 gun wouldn't properly represent that. Str 7 might.

[Deff Mekz]

A Vulcan Mini Bolter maybe. I agree Str 6 is not normally is not really a anti tank gun, but with rending it could fill that role perhaps?

[sgtspiff]

The simple fact is that almost no gatling weapon in 40k is good at handling armour.
So it's a bit strange. Rockets and lascannons is anti-tank in my view of the game.

So must be rending and if it's rending then no way it's over str6.

Some of my thoughts.

Love the model though.

To be fair, the Assault Cannon is more effective than a Lascannon at handling armour, so Rending would most certainly bring it into the realm of tank busting. And while S6 is likely, S7 isn't out of the question what with Psycannons.

I cant remember, but I thought someone was saying they were going to do some minitaurs style kits for the regular marines to go with the shoulder pads. Anyone confirm or deny this?

I am planning a squad of minotaurs but if FW is gonna release bits like the new special characters I will wait.

I was under the impression last year when it was first mentioned that the Tzeentch IA book was supposed to be IA 12, not IA13? Has that changed now???

[Rhaivaen]

Really nice stuff they've got this year. Thanks to those of you who took pictures to share with the rest of us. Like others, I'm really liking the Avenger. At first, I noticed the Crimson Skies look to the craft, but then I kept thinking that I recalled a real-world aircraft that looked similar. Then I remembered the old Grumman Skyrocket (long-nosed version) and was surprised at how similar it was. Clearly, there's additional inspiration taken from Corsairs, Stukas and other gull-wing airplanes, and the A-10 reference is unmistakable, but I'd not be surprised to find that the designer took some ques from the XF5F-1.

And the Vought Corsair, and the Stuka, and what else?

I did not attend this year, but I am definitely going next year
