Forge World Updates Two New Astartes Releases

Wow to be honest I missed the part about the Mastodon being able to carry dreadnoughts, but that sorta makes sense given it’s size and all.

Here’s what we know about the new Legiones Astartes Army “Red Book” and the Mastodon from the show:

There looks to be TWO versions of the new book coming, a collectors and a regular edition. This is the first collections edition Forge World has attempted for the Horus Heresy Series since Book IV: Conquest that seemed to take weeks to sell.

Currently the “old” version of the same book is still up for sale on Forge World’s site, which consumers should be wary of.

No specifics on what changes we’ll see, but with THREE books worth of releases to catch up on, I’m sure there will be more than a few entries added and perhaps some changes as well. Look for more on this release at the Forge World open in July.

This awesome vehicle was spotted at Warhammer fest clock in at 499£ and apparently it was even on sale during the day.

The Mastodon was in use by the Iron HandsSpace Marine Legion during the early stages of the Horus Heresy and most likely before. It is likely that other Space Marine Legions used the Mastodon as well. For example, at the outset of the One-Five-Four-Six ‘Kharaatan’ Campaign, the Salamanders had enough Mastodons to transport the entire Legion force present – approx 6000 Legionaries.(Via Lexicanum)

Two solid releases either way for Heresy fans, that I am sure will be worth the wait!
