    Here's the newsletter with the rules.

    Hi there,
    With the dust of the Forge World Open Day settling, we’re excited to announce that three of the pre-release kits we had on sale are now available to pre-order. We’ve also got a reminder about our presence at Salute 2012, for which we are currently taking reservation orders.

    Space Marine Storm Eagle Gunship
    Space Marine StormeagleThe legendary mobility of the Adeptus Astartes has won planet-spanning conflicts with a single strike; providing the precise application of deadly force at the point where it proved most decisive. A Chapter’s fleet of attack craft is the keystone that makes this possible, and it is the iconic Thunderhawks and Drop Pods that are at the forefront. Craft such as the Storm Eagle Assault Gunship follow close behind to lend their weapons to the devastating assault.
    A formidable gunship, the Storm Eagle mounts fearsome firepower for a vehicle of its size and is capable of transporting twenty Space Marines directly into the thick of an assault. The exact provenance of the Storm Eagle is unknown, but it bears clear similarities to the Stormravens employed by the Blood Angels and Grey Knights. Certain sources place the principal manufacture of the Storm Eagle upon Tigrus and Anvilus IX, both primary-grade Forge Worlds that suffered catastrophic damage during the Horus Heresy.
    In recent decades the number of Storm Eagles in active service has begun to increase, especially amongst those Chapters known to have favourable relations with the Adeptus Mechanicus. This has lead some observers to believe that production has been restored at an as yet unknown location.

    Designed by Stuart Williamson, the Storm Eagle is a complete resin and plastic kit which is packed with incredible design work, including a fully detailed interior. It is available to pre-order now for despatch from 27th April. You can also download experimental rules for this fantastic model from the Forge World website. You can also see the Storm Eagle in our latest video.

    Chaos Decimator Weapons
    Chaos DecimatorTowering over even the mighty, and exceedingly rare, Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Adeptus Astartes, the Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve the Traitor Legions on the part of the shadowed, now near-mythical, Legio Cybernetica. If this is the truth, then the warriors of the Imperium may well yet tremble before the might of this colossus.
    Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what unknown and malefic party are responsible for the sinful innovation of the Decimator Daemon Engine, which is capable of fielding a wide range of armaments.

    The Decimator Soulburner Petard and Heavy Conversion Beamer, designed by Daren Parrwood, are finely detailed resin weapons for the recently-released Decimator Daemon Engine, experimental rules for which can be downloaded from the Forge World website now. These weapons are available to pre-order now for despatch from 27th April.

    Hmm... Chaos can take a Storm Eagle , but can't have a power of the Machine Spirit. Odd...
    I also notice that Hell Strike rockets aren't referenced, just given as an option. being a Guard Player, I know what they do but they are not options in the Space Marine nor Chaos Space Marine books so to where are we to reference? I am still quite tempted to build one of these for my Chaos list. I am very very tempted. I could see myself throwing a full 20 man 'Zerker squad perhaps minus one for Kharn to really make a mess of things.

    I don't know why FW just didn't release all the Decimator weapons in one go.

    So they can talk about it in two newsletters instead of one.

    Re: Forgeworld Newsletter #302:- Stormeagle, Decimator Weapons

    I found this passage from the Storm Eagle experimental rules to be especially titillating:

    "Perhaps surprisingly, the number of active Storm Eagles in Space Marine service has now begun to substantially increase over the last few decades with Chapters known to have favourable relations with the Priesthood of Mars, leading some observers to believe the Adeptus Mechanicus has restarted large-scale production at an as yet unknown location."

    I realize that this is "just Forge World", but perhaps this a hint of an advancement of the metaplot? Likewise, could it be evidence that Forge World may graduate to general availability in GW and independent game stores, perhaps with a more official consideration for Imperial Armor-published units bearing the 40k seal?

    It could just be a hint about a future campaign book, or a clever excuse to shut up any fluff nazis out there

    In a similar vein, I haven't played Marines in a long time... is Ceramite Armor in the codex somewhere? Didn't ring a bell with me rules-wise, but I could be wrong.

    With the current experimental rules, no for some reason! An oversight I imagine.

    Gah, I can't decide between a Decimator or a Contemptor for next payday! The choices!

    No it isn't; as with the recent Land Raider variants, Chaos ones get Daemonic Possession instead.

    The rules for ceramite armour and Hellstrike missiles can be found in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse books, and I think also in the GW Apocalypse books.

    Well, congrats to Chaos and all non-BA/GK marines for having a fast, non-fragile heavy skimmer/transport.

    Still waiting for Eldar to get any assault transport vehicle, though, now most marines have two.

    Given the rumors of a larger Eldar grav tank, they may get one in the codex instead of FW. Maybe the transport with the webway gate?

    I'm going to grab this to escort with a pair of Storm Ravens for my custom chapter, and when it comes along, the Land Raider Spartan escorted by a pair of Armored Proteus. Will look awesome.
