m_r_parker Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Done my usual Friday scouting around on the FW website to see what is new: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/THE_HORUS_HERESY_BOOK_FOUR_CONQUEST.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/IMPERIAL_FISTS_LEGION_CONTEMPTOR_DREADNOUGHT.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_LEMAN_RUSS_INCINERATOR.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SOLAR_AUXILIA_VELETARIS_STORM_SECTION.html I was begining to think they were holding back the standard edition of Conquest until all the SE copies were sold, but here we are. Still no IF Upgrade Packs though... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299778-forgeworld-releases-28112014-conquest-if-contemptor-sa/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorbookworm Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I must say I dislike the name for the Russ' gun. Demi-Culverin implies that its smaller than a culverin, when this is clearly much bigger. Evidently they created volkites as infantry weapons first before having a "Dude, lets put this on a tank!" moment.

Sothalor Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I quite like that Incinerator kit. Real tempted to get one just to build, but I have a sinking suspicion I know where that'll end: With me ordering a Legion Glaive.

Marshal Rohr Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I got the imperial fists chests and heads with my copy of conquest and they are really sexy in hand. I'm hoping the Templar chests will be just as detailed.

Slips Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah I shot myself in the foot by making templar bros with our legion kit and gk power swords :p Oh well that just means more templars. Will also probably pick up 20+ phalanx warders and breachers at the same time...

1ncarnadine Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Is there anyway to shoehorn that leman russ into a legion army? Pretty easily. A Solar Aux commander and lasrifle section fulfill the Ally compulsory HQ/Troops at a really cheap cost, then you can use the ally heavy support slot and fill it with 1-3 assault Russes (Incinerator/Demolisher/Executioner). If you really wanted you could fill the ally fast attack slot with 3 more regular Russes.... Warning: 30k Leman Russ tanks do not come with sponsons, ever Also quickly losing the will not to get some Solar Auxilia just as an ally force... oh man I hope they release more before their xmas shipping deadlines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299778-forgeworld-releases-28112014-conquest-if-contemptor-sa/#findComment-3873721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_r_parker Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I feeling like I'm going nut's as I'm writing this, but have they had a spike in sales of Conquest SE now that the regular edition has come out for sale??? I had a theory going that ForgeWorld were holding off putting out the regular edition of Conquest until they sold all the Special Editions, and that figure had been somewhat static for around a week. You'd see every few days that picture for the Special Edition would be updated to show 50 fewer copies were remaining, but it'd had been flatlining for a good week or so. Last Friday FW put out a mail saying there were <500 copies remaining, and I'm fairly sure we'd managed to get it down to <350 by this morning. Now we're at <250 - have people suddenly seen that the Special Edition isn't that much more expensive and thought "Another £12, sure - why not!"???

Marshal Rohr Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Now that Ive got them in my hands I can say that the poster and reference cards are worth the extra 12 GBP/24 USD.

Lord Tharand Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The Incinerator looks pretty awesome. I might consider picking one up. Once I have my SE Conquest in hand I'll know for sure!

Adra'Melek Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I just order the SE. I was waiting for the normal release but wanted it a little earlier and the comments here suggest it's worth the extra.

SillyDreadnought Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I must say I dislike the name for the Russ' gun. Demi-Culverin implies that its smaller than a culverin, when this is clearly much bigger. Evidently they created volkites as infantry weapons first before having a "Dude, lets put this on a tank!" moment. It sticks with FW's use of old usage of terms however. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demi-cannon A demi-cannon was bigger than a Culverin, but smaller than a regular cannon. So a Demi-Culverin is bigger than a Culverin but smaller than a Carronade. Makes perfect sense. ( Unless I just snookered myself and failed at explaining it :O ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299778-forgeworld-releases-28112014-conquest-if-contemptor-sa/#findComment-3874550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yes, you snookered yourself. A demi-culverin should be smaller than a culverin. And much smaller than a carronade. The correct term should have been demi-carronade. Of course, if a magos decided to rebel against the man and dictate that 'demi' means 'twice bigger...'

SillyDreadnought Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Darn it. I won't edit it out. Either way, it should be the halfway point between a Culverin and the Carronade.

Majorbookworm Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 My pedantry regarding terminology is the only thing I dislike about any of it, and to be fair, there's only so many late-medieval cannon names they can use!
