Morglum StormBasha

I can’t believe they killed the whole sacrosanct range as well. Really quite angry about that

Generally starter boxes have always been a elite vs a horde i think that’s generally a good idea i think you do probably need a good human faction in the box which is either stormcast or cities. you could however easily pair the horde of cities against say ironjawz or slaves to darkness etc as elite armies

Supposedly the 2 arcane tome armies are for Nuln and Middenheim. Middenheim seems easy to believe given they had so many storm of chaos models

I take it from army Organisation being more FUN tm that battle line might be going ?

Yeah I don’t expect preorder till 22 June and release on 6 July so we have 12 weeks of preview…

Ok so thought on the reveals 40k - meh chaos marine lords. heresy - hoping the mech army becomes as newly affordable as the solar auxilia kill team - the votann are half cool. The trench coats on everyone feel a bit too much. warcry - the tree is silly and I’m now sick to death of gnarlwood terrain. Who on earth is building a bamboo platform next to a giant gaping man eating mouth ? - sylvaneth are interesting but abit too body horror nurgle for me - obr jsut continue to disappoint underworlds - I think the flagellants are too OTT and don’t fit cities: but happy designers can experiment in this game system - fec perfectly fine but not exciting abraxia - love the mount - slightly disappointed by Abraxia herself and might need to figure out a headswap aos4 - trailer is brilliant - stormcast on bird is nice - the skaven reinvention is a long time coming but all the models previewed in the trailer look great and it just feels like we’re getting more of the style of the isle of blood minis but with another 10 years of technology improvements - the lore - it’s cool to see a big threat but I wonder if skaven blight occupying literally one third of the great parcb is a bit much and a bit of a loss of a sense of scale, feels like it’s soooo rataclysmic that aqshy won’t recover - rules reset - I don’t think this was needed. Some of the changes like colored phase keys on rules and usrs do seem nice but whether it actually requires a complete reset rather than just the 3 year cycle through battle tomes I’m not sure. Next year will be bumpy I expect

If they genuinely scrap beasts then I’d also wonder about scrapping dark elves and dwarves from cities and maybe all the finecast ogor models - just clean house of legacy models - which to be honest it’s probably now time to do.

Yeah that sounds like we are being indexed. Which personally I think sucks.

So aos4 stormcast expectations ? New Vandus New liberators New prosecutors New Judicators New Paladins New Lord Celestant New Lord Relictor New celestant prime And the old wave 1 kits all die? Is that what we think is going to happen

Think it’s a much better plan for them to release the first wave for a third army for old world rather than third wave for the 2 launch armies. I’m sure those will come in the next month or so but at the moment getting a greater variety of factions some level of support is more important. I doubt many of the tomb kings and Bret’s buyers have finished all their models yet

Obr for warcry makes sense. I’d dearly like Kurnothi to be the other half but failing that I’d love some yhettees. Old world release might be more orc and goblin tribes sculpts

I want a plastic Grombrindal free on the cover of white dwarf and then given full aos rules and put on pemanent sale thereafter. I also think they should really put Gotrek and Grombrindal into the cities or fyreslayers book so they are kept in print

The dark look amazing so I think we see 4 units ? 1. Were-kin monster 2. chieftan on horse 3. marauder cav 4. new marauders

They could add so much with just one wolf chariot kit in the style of the big maw grunta. One chariot could do shaman on chariot, warlord on chariot and generic chariot which combined with existing snarl fang kit would probably be enough for a army of renown

Just watched that gnomes lore video. They seem incredibly well pitched to get a wizard mini for Old World Empire as part of the new setting given their mastery of illusion and dark magic and the fact that the old world is set pre Grom wiping them out and before Teclis encouraged the witch hunters to persecute them. You could see them having a real role in imperial society of this time if they are the most proficient spell casters. really hope it’s Bloodbowl gnomes now
