![]() However, while the book centers around the conflict between the nascent Tau and the dogmatic Mechanicus forces, they are hardly the only participants. The exact details weren’t revealed to us (have to buy the book!), but it seems that an ancient piece of technology from the Age of Iron is discovered in the Cyraxus system and precipitates a race to take control of the planet where it is found, with both sides escalating the conflict as the stakes raise higher and high. The campaign centers around (but, according to some hints, eventually expands beyond) events in the the Segmentum Pacificus where the two come to arms with each other. With these two factions being so diametrically opposed in their views of technology, it’s only natural that they would eventually come into direct conflict, and in the campaign book this conflict is writ large across the system as the two galactic powers clash both ideologically and materially. The general gist of IA14 has been known for a while- a conflict between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Tau Empire over the Cyraxus VII system. Announced way back in 2016, the book has seen repeated delays and holds due to a wide variety of issues, but no longer! With a scheduled release date of August 1st, 2019 (at least according to one of our sources), the book will soon see the light of day, providing rules for several largely-ignored factions and bringing many Horus Heresy units into the world of 8th Edition at last. Second, these rules were only the playtest versions- the actual book may well have changed since submission, though I think it’s safe to assume that the broad strokes of the book will correspond to what we have been told.įor those who weren’t already aware, IA14: Fires of Cyraxus is the latest in Forge World’s series of campaign supplements. Specifically, Imperial Armour 14 has been finalized and gone off to the printers, ending the long drought of Forge World book releases that have plagued us of late- and better yet, we got to talk to some of the playtesters for the book.Ī couple of caveats: first, the individuals in question asked that they not be identified, for fairly obvious reasons, so we won’t be naming any names. However, for those with their ear a bit closer to the ground, there have been a lot of interesting rumblings as of late about things somewhat less public that players may want to hear about. So, there have been a lot of reveals coming out of Adepticon (including that amazing Keeper of Secrets model), and Games Workshop has done a great job of showcasing their new releases to the public at events like this as of late. ![]() Charlie and AbusePuppy here with an exciting preview for one of the most-anticipated Forgeworld books of all time – Fires of Cyraxus!!! ![]()
