Cut from the forgeworld newsletter

Death from the Skies
Being a loyal Space Marine collector/sometimes player, I think I might have to give our resident Inquisitor a call because I must admit that I really, REALLY like Daren Parrwood?s new Chaos fighter. The Hell Blade quite obviously comes from the same twisted family as the Hell Talon but I think it is just downright beautiful! Why? Could be how it manages to be sleek and jagged at the same time but the Hell Blade just ticks all the right ?Must have one!? boxes in my head. For such a compact aircraft, 4 inches/100mm wide and 10 inches/250mm long, the Hell Blade will still pack a fair punch with two twin-linked autocannon, nearly the same firepower mustered by the Imperial Thunderbolt! Warwick should have some experimental rules ready for the Hell Blade soon so watch this space? The Hell Blade is available to pre-order now and orders will ship out from Monday August 1st.

I certainly hope that forgeworld releases the hellblade for Epic. However the note above puts its firepower as sub Imperial. So it becomes interesting to convert to epic. A direct conversion isn't possible if you wanted to stick to that (the beast would have 2 x range 45cm AP4+/AT5+/AA5+) so it raises the question how to convert to epic?

And the wider one - how to convert forgeworld aircraft to Epic. A direct conversion just doesn't seem to work.

According to Jervis there are no current plans for one. FW might produce one in the futre (probably will knowing them) but what it does mean is that there won't be an Epic version of it in time for the CSM list.

Sucks really.

Is there any plans for the swiftdeath model (was it an epic40k one that didn't see light)? Or will we be using converted thunderbolts?

There is already a model for the Swiftdeath.

Aha! A challenge! (and no, I don't mean convincing Jervis or FW to make a model).

Now someone please remind me not to jump up each time someone mentions an unavailable or weird model. I don't even KNOW what it looks like; and this is the second one today.... ?:( ?:p

Anyone interested is kindly asked not to expect anything soon - I take AGES to do anything. And in the end it won't look like the original at all.... as an example, I still havn't decided whether to use my last chaos conversion as a spawn or a Defiler or a Doomwheel. ?:{ ?:blush:

It would be nice if you could provide some details for those of us not so enlightened.

The plans are to just use the old Chaos Doomwing interceptor for the model or to allow players to mod up Thunderbolts.

So there isn't a "new" fig but simply a generic class of interceptor that players can use existing figs or build their own based on Imperial figs.
