Forge World Bulletin #31

October might seem like a long time away but the Forge World Studio is already busy preparing for Warhammer Fest, and that�?Ts on top of all the great stuff planned for the Forge World European Open Day this weekend!

As well as hosting some of the Demonstration Pods at Warhammer Fest, where the Forge World designers will be helping you learn some awesome new skills, we�?Tll have a large range of our fantastically painted models on display. We�?Tll also be unveiling some new models and will have plenty of products on sale for the first time, including a brand new book… I�?Tll bring you more on that in a future bulletin as soon as I can!

Admiral:

If this indeed is for WHFB, then the End Times drive might have reignited the Warhammer Forge engine. It’d be silly to lie dormant whilst GW reap cash from these new releases.

Dînadan:

A new Fantasy book would be nice, but part of me feels like this is just going to be the next HH book :confused:

Thommy H:

Yeah, no evidence this is for Fantasy, and it’s pretty unlikely it is given the last one they announced just never materialised.

Grimstonefire:

warhammer fest for a HH book…?

Guess they don’t have any wh stuff to release, so it’s quite likely. They did have a 40k day last month didn’t they?

Thommy H:

I believe Warhammerfest covers both systems. It’s Warhammer 40,000 after all…

Thommy H
Agreed, when I googled Warhammer Fest before reply the first link was to a GW page on Warhammer Fest which mentioned both systems, hence my cynicism.

French_noodle:

Isn’t Warhammerfest simply the new name of Games Day ?

Bitterman:

Not exactly. It’s a weekend, not a day. But otherwise, yes, it fulfils basically the same role. Except hopefully better than the last few Games Days, which were dreadful, the last one not even featuring any games.

New book is most likely the next HH book; they suggested at the HH Weekender a few months back that they were hoping for it to be ready “around September-October-ish”, which would be right around now.
