 | It was with a great gnashing of teeth that we discovered the World Eaters/ War Hounds Transfer Sheet from Forge World was being discontinued in favour of a new one - but the new one has finally been released and it's not half bad! If you're a World Eater's player then this is a really great addition to the current markings available. In essence you don't really miss out on anything apart from the larger versions of the square-jawed teeth markings, plus you get added gold numbers and some super pretty colourful (one can only assume) banner transfers. Whether the World Eaters had time to make pretty banners is open to conjecture, but these have some great detail on them. Now as for the War Hounds... |

The new World Eaters/ War Hounds Transfer Sheet from Forge World is the same size as the old one and is not dissimilar in the layout. There's lots of 'XII' and teeth and chains, and these banner transfers have to be seen to be believed. I'm kind of curious what actual World Eaters players think of these because from what I have seen the World Eaters barely use cutlery let alone something this nice - still I'm sure Terra would keep them stocked with banners.
As well as the colourful eater of worlds transfers, there are also these scrolls - maybe for banners or vehicles, who knows. The colour depth and saturation is just as impressive as the globe/ teeth ones.

There are a tonne of numbers and versions of the teeth. With white, red and gold numbers you won't run out too quickly. I'm curious what the gold ones are for. I guess Khorne Berserkers or the transition to them...
There's also these interesting kill markings. I haven't seen these before and are pretty brutal looking.

Now War Hounds fans, it's not amazing news - you do get a few more sizes of the hound standing up, but you get half of the hound's head and none in mini, which is a pain for me because I use a lot of the mini ones. I'm not entirely sure why half of the hounds are backwards, surely reversing the heraldry is silly - then it's back to front! Just a waste of the available space - rant over!

 | The FW World eaters MK2 Transfer Sheet is just one of many that are being revamped by the Forge World team. I question whether they are needed considering most military markings are quite often applied in the field and very simple, so why make them look like they came out of an artist's studio. When we mentioed that before some people were unhappy, and fair enough when it's the Emperor's Children, Sons of Horus or Imperial Fists, but Death Guard and World Eaters would surely be more practical with their markings - brutally simplistic. That being said, this a very nice product! |
