Marty von Carstein Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Here's a pic of the new Black Talon model. I took a screenshot from the Nurgle rises video found here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/08/17/nurgle-rises-in-the-mortal-realms-aug-16gw-homepage-post-1/ ...and played with the levels to bring out a bit more detail. Looks like a female Stormcast holding an axe in her right hand. Can't tell what's in the other hand. Looks like a great model though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I like the axe as it looks hollow, similar to the ones from LotR . Light weight, just as strong. Good weaponsmithing. Doesn't beat a nurgle sythe or trident in terms of coolness though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Don't like it. Seems it has a weird pose on tip toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty von Carstein Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yea now that you say that, it's a little bit reminiscent of the Loremaster's pose. I always thought that model looked a bit odd in photos but it does look better in the flesh/plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veillotron Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thank you @Marty von Carstein for the work on the image, it is a lot easier to see the pose. It does look like she's lunging forward, I like the dynamic pose. It also very very much looks like she's from the Vanguard chamber, as opposed to any new chamber being open (but we already knew that from the art). @Arkiham, the hollow axe is a trademark of the Vanguards (all hunters can be equiped with it.

Roark Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yeah, Vanguard for sure I reckon. Thanks for this Marty. She seems quite aggressive. Hope she's either got a rapid-fire handbow in that other hand or a differentiated hand weapon for two separate melee attack types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Tiptoes may be to indicate the stealthiness or an assassin-like quality as per the "Sigmar's chosen assassin" line, or she may possibly be mid-jump / mid-landing. I'm excited. I really like the look of the Vanguard guys and am teetering on the edge of starting with them as a new army. If this is a cool ranger / assassin female Stormcast, then it may just be enough to tip me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty von Carstein Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 And here she is.... "Neave Blacktalon is a new kind of Stormcast Eternal, of the Knights-Zephyros. Armed with Whirlwind Axes, Neave can cut down characters in a flurry of blows, or she can weaken them at range with her Boltstorm Pistol – she’s a powerful new option for any Stormcast Eternals army."
