Void Shield Generator, Craters & Iron Father

A mixed bag of goodies arriving from Games Workshop & Forge World this week, especially if you like the Mechanicus Cog. GW is releasing a limited release resin-cast Void Shield Generator, as well as a set of grimdark craters, while Forge World adds an Iron Father.


#1 – Void Shield Generator

Void Shield Generator

Own a terrain piece that is truly one of a kind. The Void Shield Generator is limited to just 1000 boxes worldwide! It is the perfect addition to any gaming board so don’t miss this exciting opportunity, order yours today!

The Void Shield Generator can project an invisible bubble of power across a large area of the battlefield. They can shelter troops and strategically vital locations by absorbing or deflecting the energy of incoming munitions.

This 10 piece kit includes: 1 base section, 4 cogs, 4 towers and 1 core piece.


#2 – Quake Cannon Craters

Quake Cannon Craters

The fortress-pounding fury of the quake cannon can reduce a city to rubble. Each blast has the ability to obliterate any given target (and there is rarely any evidence left to positively identify a target once its been hit by a Quake Cannon, so its best to note what it is before its gone!). All that usually remains is a smoldering crater on the ground.

This kit contains eight quake cannon crater halves which feature four distinctive designs. They can be assembled in a number of different ways to make four craters.


#3 – Forge World Iron Hands Iron Father

Iron Hands Iron FAther

The Iron Hands of all the Space Marine Legions maintained perhaps the closest ties with the Mechanicum as was evident with the emphasis they placed on the use of machines and esoteric weaponry within their arsenals. This bond is exemplified non more so than with the Iron Fathers.

The honorific of Iron Father exists outside of the established Legion hierarchy and is bestowed upon those individuals, most notably from within the Legion Forge Lords and Techmarine ranks, that display the greatest affinity with machines and how best to utilise them to further the Legions ends.  Their position grants them access to equipment normally reserved for the highest Legion masters and on the battlefield they can be seen in the thickest of action dealing death with weapons born of arcane technology. Their prodigious knowledge of all things mechanical means that they are as adept at making battlefield repairs as they are at smashing aside the enemies of the Iron Hands in combat.


#4 – Thoughts?

Some truly fancy terrain, no doubt. The craters get some tough love for having grimdark 40K iconography all over them, even though I don’t see why anybody would want Games Workshop terrain for other games.

The Iron Father doesn’t wow me as some of the recent Forge World Iron Hands did, but he adds to the line. There must be impressive Iron Hands armies out there, if Forge World fans build an army with all those Forge World Iron Hand releases.

Let me know what you think!
