BAD NEWS!! Forge WOrld Start Deleting Legion Decal Sheets

14/1/2016

With Forge World slowly rolling out new very colourful decal sheets for the Space Marine Legions, they are starting to delete the very cool old ones!
The Sons of Horus, Death Guard and World Eaters/ War Hounds decals are now listed as "no longer available" on the Forge World site - bad news as these were amazing value!
As a War Hounds hobbyist, I got so much use out of the limited number on the World Eaters decal sheet that I can imagine anyone using those decal sheets for one of the main Legions could use them for ages!

It's a real shame to see these excellent decal sheets go.
They were not only great value, but also flexible for all kinds of models - from troops to vehicles big and small. They also had a very military rather than sci-fi look to them; simple and functional - as true operational military markings are!

Howdy,

They're not being deleted. They're being redone to higher standards than the one available.

See for yourself:

It should be from one on the recent Forge World bulletin.

Just wait a little longer, and you'll get your transfer sheet back all new and shiny !

Hey there Naadhu,
I have seen some of the images, but thanks for showing me those ones!
I'm just not sure we are getting the same amount of flexibility from the new markings that we did from the old ones.
From what I have seen there aren't as many Legion numbers or squad markings, making way for larger banner style decals.
As a hobbyist I'm more into having lots of troops with markings rather than big splashy ones.
I'm not saying the new ones aren't great quality, but I'm just not sure they are as flexible for lots of uses or as good value for money in terms of number of uses.
Thanks for your comment.
