My predictions for the near future is that Forge World will release a Horus Heresy inspired master class Book at its open day in July.
After my recent visit to the reopening of Warhammer World and a walk around the design studio i notices the following marines painted in various stages of completion, they had all been painted using the new air brush paints.
Warhammer World reopening coverage video part 3 of 3 (the long one)
So this is the last part of my video coverage i was able to take at the reopening of Warhammer World,
and includes coverage within all the exhibition areas.
This video is rather long so feel free to fast forward any sections that don't interest you and just watch the ones that you do :-).
of special note are the following dioramas
(FANTASY) the massive siege of an Empire city by a horde of green skins.
(FANTASY) a total Nurgle infested castle that includes a lot of conversions and one offs
(HH) redesigned Isstvan V board with emperors children vs iron hands (check out the epic battle in the middle between Ferras and Fulgrim).
(W40K) Grand parade of the imperial guard, this was my favorite display and just loved the fluff of it. look out for the central building that contains the generals and advisors (space marines as well) all the marching guard models all have there heads turn towards the central building in a parade salute as do the tank turrets (nice touch).
(W40K) The whole of the Ultramarine chapter (1000+ marines) vs a equal or larger Khorne Daemonkin army. This display is so Hugh that from the elevated area as you enter the room the board look at epic scale, there is so much detail and little battles going on that you need a good ten minutes to properly check it all out. There is to many thinks to look out for that I won't list them all here, but a few thinks of note are the titan battle going on out side the city and includes one of the painted Warlord titans, a Reaver and a host of Warhounds (one is being hit by a drop pod) and knights, including chaos knights and daemon engines.
Also of note is the epic battle of Marlus Calgar and the Bloodthister on top of the tower. if you want more information about this board then you can purchase the Blood Oath supplement from the main GW story that has a complete fluff background story to the board and some professional photos.
Truly this display is just awesome and is worth a visit to the new Warhammer World just to see it.
Warhammer World reopening coverage video part 2 of 3.
This part of the video is my travels around the art gallery and the design studio area and a quick look at the new models and WIP's this does include the WARLORD Titan which you will see is the most epic model ever and is just truly awesome :-).
also I don't think it has been mentioned anywhere else on the net, but the nurgle daemon prince model that was previewed next to Samus has a name 'COR BAX daemon prince of the Ruinstorm'.
Just a Little bit of information on the Warlord, they had 6 Complete models to purchase at £1140 and they all went on the first day within the first hour (WOW), they also had orders for another 14 by the end of the first day (so thats 20 sold) I visited on the sunday and I heard rumours that they had taken orders for about the same amount!!!
main coverage of the new displays is in the last video and is rather long.
part 1 of 3 Video coverage of my visit to warhammer World grand reopening :-)
In this first part I arrive at the new improved Warhammer World, have alook around the new Forge World shop and then a look around the design studio area. (EDIT: Sorry this bit only covers arrival and look around the design studio)
The exhibit area has been increased from 1 room upto 5 and there is a following video or what to expect in side :-)
First impressions are the the entrance and venue have been vastly improved and it has a Museum like feel to the place. the shop has been split into three separate shops, one dedicated to GW prime, one to FW and one to Black Library (this one was a little bit disappointing and was expecting more thinks).
Forgeworld shop is very cool and you can see from the coverage above that they have several cabinets full of assembled FW resin, which is a nice touch.
The last part of the video is my travels around the design studio area and a quick look at the new models and WIP's this does include the WARLORD Titan which you will see is the most epic model ever and is just truly awesome :-).

I will try to post up the next two parts later today, but until then enjoy. :-)
Not really a proper Psykic Tuesday today as most of my time has been spent editing my video footage I took at Warhammer World on Sunday (hint look out for video posts coming soon).
So as I just mentioned I was at the Grand reopening of Warhammer World last Sunday and if you get a chance I would highly recommend a pilgrimage as the new displays are just breath taking, so as such my psykic powers are a bit weak at the moment :-)
In terms of my predictions for the weekend I was about half right :-) and to remind you readers of my predictions that i got right were
The release of the model for Primarch Robute Guilliman (beautiful model and just how I imagine him to look, just like a roman emperor).
The release of the Warlord titan (damn!!! enough said) :-) truly an epic model and just massive and highly detailed, much better than I was expecting :-)
As I mentioned earlier there will be serval post of video footage that i will upload soon.
So my predictions and foresight this week is that we will be seeing Sisters of Battle in plastic within the next few months, having recently purchased a few boxes of Skitarii and having put together 20 or so models, I've come to the conclusion that it won't take much remodeling in a computer to change the base models into plastic sisters, a lot of the details are already there from flowing robes, the mechanical legs are very slender so could be smoothed into lady legs very easily, so could the torso and arms. this is a very interesting development and would differently be considering starting a sister of battle army if this was to see the light of day. I have always like the fluff of the sisters and it would be good for them to be centre stage.
also of note, a pop out box in the recent WDW did make reference to the forces of the mechanicus are often oppose to that of the sisters (interesting fluff hint).
I'm heading to the Grand re-opening of Warhammer World this weekend and I will keep my eyes peeled (all three :-)) and see what I can see :-)
Using my powers (I reckon that I'm a level 3 librarian) my foresight this week is 'That there is a Chaos Space Marine releases just around the corner', with a few new plastic sets coming and would include a new designed squad box similar or in the vain of the Blood Angels Tactical box :-) also of note is that these new kits will be on 32mm bases rather than 25mm.
my reason to my musing above is based on the recent Assassins box release, after looking in the box and watching a few unboxing videos I noticed that the snap together chaos marines are not supplied with 25mm slotter bases and are actually supplied with 32mm bases and you are required to clip off the slotter part and glue onto 32mm bases, this is very odd and I couldn't work out why this has been done and one of my solutions is the paragraph above.
