MLP:

So I have my ticket, weekend is booked off and I have a slowly building wedge of cash ready to blow… anyone from CDO going this year?

I had tickets for last year but unfortunately my car exploded on the way up and I did not make it :frowning:

Anybody who is not going have any info they want finding out or questions to ask guys there?

Vogon:

I will be going :slight_smile:

Also as my army won the local Armies On Parade thing I’ll be taking that down as well (though I’m going to repaint the display base)

I’m also bringing Vogon Junior (8 years old) who wants to enter the Young Bloods painting comp.

I’m hoping for a ticket to the Forge World Seminar again. It was great last year.

Cheers

Vogon

Grimstonefire:

Can you make sure to take some photos of anything in folders on the WF desks.  Perhaps also the FW desks.

I’ve been to a few of these things where I’ve been the only one who’s taken any photos of their concept stuff, and I’m not going this year.

I’m especially keen this year because not only is the next WF book going to feature Dwarfs (my second favourite army), but also the HH book on the 40k side which is the only part of 40k I find interesting.

Generally if you could just ask them if they are planning on doing any conversion bits for Dwarfs or just stick to whole models.

Vogon:

Will do Grim.

This message was automatically appended because it was too short.

Vogon:

What time does it actually open? I can’t remember from last year and I can’t see it on the GW web page anywhere.

Cheers

Vogon

MLP:

It’s 0900 for Golden Daemon entries and 1000 for everyone else.

Vogon:

great, thanks for that.

06:00 start then :frowning:

Grimstonefire:

Hope you guys have a great day.

Lots of cool stuff to look at. I really would like to go next year.

fattdex:

Destroyer has been shown, i have no idea what is going on in this pic, hopefully a forum member does better

Grimbold Blackhammer:

I’ve no idea what that is but I highly doubt that is our new K’daii Destroyer.  It looks far too 40kish.  Then again it does have that handy comb on the front that Deamonsmiths can use to get the tangles out of their beards…

edit
I saw the same pictures on Warseer so maybe that is it after all? If so it looks like a massive epic-fail. I typically like Forge World models but this doesn’t look Chaos Dwarfy nor anything like the artwork in the book. I’m glad it is marked as a ‘work in progress’ because that means they can still start over =)

brotsorrow:

have fun guys!!! I will be living vicariously through you as im stuck doing homework all day.

If that model is the destroyer i will be severely disappointed. I am really hoping this is for the new chaos space marine line…

here is the link to where the pic came from https://twitter.com/dancomeau/status/249821994181353472

Thommy H:

It is the Destroyer and it’s already being discussed here.

Ravenswood:

CopperPot:

Whats this, is that a lammasu I see there.

Thommy H:

Those will just be test sculpts. GW don’t show greens of production miniatures.

zobo1942:

That miniature on the left looks like a Genestealer Cult Magus.

Oh I really hope it is :DDDD

Thommy H:

As I said, these are almost certainly test sculpts done by junior members of the team to try stuff out. They generally do weird things, just to demonstrate their skills because ordinarily the sculptors are limited by what is actually worth producing.

In other words, don’t expect these to ever be released. Which is probably a good thing given the quality (or lack of…) of that Avatar and Lammasu…

cornixt:

Those models looks like slight variations on existing models rather than anything new. I’m guessing that was the brief.
