Xasz Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 W&R and Christmas sets seem a but much. (in terms of release dates we have left over this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 is the general consensus that W&R will essentially just be a box of models with some fluff or is it going to also be some kind of Speed Freaks/IK:Renegade standalone game? I can totally see them bundling it with some kind of paper thin Realm of Chaos based daemon on daemon battle Royale game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I've a feeling it will be like the Necron VS Admech boxed set, so a bit of a themed battle setup, but otherwise running off the core rules instead of being like Speed Freaks which is a separate game. It's how they did it for both Admech and Necrons in releasing new models and giving a bit of a twist and promotional period. Then given a few months down the line we should see the hounds and heroes released as individual models for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 So, looks like everything has been revealed. I must say, I am really excited for this boxset - especially the herald (it looks really grim, which I love). What does everyone else think?

Kaleb Daark Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 I just hope that karanak is as big compared to a flesh hound as the box art suggests., as opposed to the false scale that the castellated imperial knights fooled everyone into believing they were buying. i hope he’s bigger than a juggernaut or gore beast 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The original Karnark isn't huge. He fits well into the 3headed hound size rather than "small pony dog or large horse dog" sizes. The new one looks to be of similar size to the metal/resin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit above the model on the left is your generic “Realm of Chaos is a terrible place”, “It’s Khorne vs Slaanesh” story bits they usually have. That Slaanesh harp player isn’t just a Herald though.

will pollock Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Do you all think that they will change bloodletters to unmodified 6 to hit cause mortal wounds?

Waiyuren Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I really like that braid, it says to me that this herald is more regal and refined than a regular murder-frenzy herald; she likes to take her time. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skill Exchange program comes in. Each month new exchange students swap over from key areas in order to share skills and understanding. Slaanesh sends for clawed beasties to aid in the peanut shelling corporations and in return hair dresses head down in to the dark realms of Chaos to braid and perform much needed hair treatments (all that heat dries out hair!) Hair dressers can then wear a badge of honour that they were trained and served in the depths of Chaos Realms. Thus gifting them with a silver tongue that can charm any seated patron and ensure that no hair challenge is beyond them. When you've dealt with fiends trying to lick your ear and hair trying to tangle and embrace you, any split ends or chewing gum stuck in hair is a breeze!

Retro Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Karanak looks a decent amount bigger than the other dogs in this pic, he is closer to the camera though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This is a better shot of the back - I love how raw it looks. A lot of GW gore looks cartoony (e.g. the Beast of Nurgle), but this looks painful and inflamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe I actually have vague memories from epic 40k fluff, of the handmaidens of Slaanesh having hairstyling as one of their skillsets? 😆 Seriously though, I've always wondered about the claws; I have a head-canon theory that Daemonettes can physically alter their own bodies for whatever task they've been given, because otherwise how do they do, well, anything really?! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
