Me too - WFB era would be Mutalith, Magister, and different kind of deamons (bar the Lord of Change and the Blue/Brimstone Horrors), but still ? BTW you all forgot about MAGGOTKIN OF NURGLE - going by Dawnbringer 1 and the rumor engines, we should immediately receive more models. Any day now.

I'm maybe not a tournament specialist, but this article wasn't very clear to me... I.e. it's just like now but simpler ? Glad GSs are going away, tbf. That said, can't wait for the article on Battle Tactics, Matthew Ross we are looking at you on this very issue ! Show your skills EDIT : 1-year GHB Season Rules + suggestion on how to place scenery on Battleplan Maps : GOOD

I understand. He will be playable in 4 different games, at least. I just think he is first and foremost a White Dwarf Journal "Goodies" (sorry for that term applied to mighty White-Fur), more than a game piece. I would be nice of course if he stayed in the range as a fully officialized duardrazhal character, but my point is : we shouldn't be surprised that he is treated like he always was treated - as an anniversary model (at least this times with rules for four different games).

Yeah, Cado, Drekki and Gotrek got permanent AOS models in current edition, but they are mainly BL Characters integrated in the wider AOS narrative (i.e. as named, special characters). IMO (but our interpretation differs) Grombrindal, being tied to the WFB and AOS narrative as well as the White Dwarf Journal as an institution, exceed the three aformentioned models' cases. Hence his special treatment (which is the same as every time there is an WD anniversary model).

Why are people surprised that the (GORGEOUS) Grombrindal Model coming for the White Dwarf anniversary 500th issue is an anniversary model treated like any other Grombrindal Models over the years and any other anniversary models ? The fact he is getting rules (Legend or not - what's the matter ?) for AOS, Warcry, WHU and Cursed City makes me really happy. BTW, I hugely recommand the Wanderer Chronicles and the Grombrindal Series for AOS, IMO this how you should port WFB characters into AOS (and this should be done with uttermost care and limitatively).

Indeed. Today's Artwork must be relatively old, because one the first AOS2 Corebook Artwork (2019!) had proto-new Design for COS (vs StD / Darkoath-y dudes and Khorne) ... Then, at the same time with the Warqueen (Malign portents end 2018) we had the basics of the current Darkoath design established (based upon the Chieftain from Silver Tower 2016). On the left, between the Chaos Knight with Icon and the grinning Bloodreaver.

Of course, for online marketing and social media, no problem. But if you have discontinued units / older versions in the pages of the new Core Book (or units about to be replaced), it's kinda lame. Core Books must show the variety of the ranges in the four Grand Alliances, but editors must be carful to present the game under its best aspect (so don't show units about to get squatted/replaced in AOS, even if they are still part of the lore somehow - like still in Warcry).

@pitzok Yeah it's an old picture, made when the 3rd ed BT was released. GW just slapped an #NewAoS tag on this old photo...

@Baron Klatz In AOS1, it was already 1" coherency. Speaking of movement tray, I'm glad of the 0.5" because it is made to fit the official Warhammer 40k Apocalypse Movement Trays, which came with 25-32-40mm base sizes options, each with a 0.5" coherency distance (as per the rules of that game) : https://citadelcolour.com/videos/apocalypse-movement-trays/ EDIT : sorry didn't see the MOD HAT. Stopping here I must say I'm very excited about AOS4 rules and releases, way more than I anticipated. That means I sadly also completely stopped my AOS3 games projects with my 2 regulars AOS friends, focusing on my Warcry group instead...

The Memorians Priests are really cool btw.

GLORIOUS ART DECO GOTHIC ORDER CHAOS WARRIORS and cool side-kicks See the similarties between those two, down to the color schemes ? I'm painting mine like these !

Very interesting, thank you for the numbers. Warcry 2nd ed. of course started bringing out some pure-AOS units too (well, Gorgers and Chamelons Skinks at least) as well as new scenery, but yeah that's an okay-ish production comparison between 2nd and 3rd... There clearly was a lull (probably China supply / COVID-caused) at the start of 3rd (and some rework of GW's plan including Thondia and the Incarnates, cf. the Spider Incarnate Rumor Engine). And we suffered the strange Cursed City logistical debacle too. But then with releases like COS, Ironjawz, Darkoath and Dawnbringers in general I think we got a fair treatment in the end. BRING IT ON 4th EDITION !!!

Alright alright. ... I'M RESTARTING SKAVEN IN 4TH EDITION LETSGO WARPCANON GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Ahem. Wonderful models. Like the Gaunts for 40k, huge improvement while completely faithful to precedent iterations.

Maybe things like poison ? or that would be auto hit or auto wound ?

At least one of the rumor engine could be Epidemius (Plagubearer on palanquin) so there is credibility.
