Forge World Newsletter #280
Forge World Newsletter #280 z dne 4.8.2011 – Realm of Battle Imperial Strongpoint, Forge World Events News – Games Day Germany.
Hi there,
This week’s newsletter sees the release of the first in an exciting new range of scenery from Forge World. Originally unveiled at the Forge World Open Day back in April, the Realm of Battle Imperial Strongpoint is now available to order.
Realm of Battle Imperial Strongpoint
Imperial StrongpointComprising a power generator, two reinforced defensive positions, dragons-teeth tank traps and huge, armoured blast doors dug into a central hill, the Imperial Strongpoint Expansion is a fortified stronghold that will make a great feature for your armies to fight over in games of Warhammer 40,000, and is fully compatable with the Citadel Realm of Battle Board available from Games Workshop.
Perfect for representing critical objectives such as a command and control facility, or a fortified artillery pit, the Imperial Strongpoint can be used in games of Planetstrike as a unique Bastion or to represent a huge variety of stratagems, strategic assets and other rules in Battle Missions. It is also a great addition to Apocalypse games and other Warhammer 40,000 battles, plus it can be used as part of a Games Day Armies on Parade competition entry.
The Imperial Strongpoint, designed by Stuart Williamson, is cast from a hollow resin as durable and sturdy as the plastic Realm of Battle Gameboard tiles from the main Games Workshop range, and is available to order now for immediate despatch.
This tile is the first in a wide range of planned Expansion tiles designed for use with the Citadel Realm of Battle Gameboard that Forge World will be releasing over the coming months, and as always we’ll be bringing you more information in future newsletters.

Warhammer Forge sculptors Steve Whitehead and Keith Robertson, as well as graphic artist Sam Lamont, are soon to embark on their journey to Cologne for Games Day Germany on August 7th, alongside the rest of the intrepid Forge World team.
