alghero81 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 To be fair the Chimera is now available only in the Warcry format so I’m not so sure a reboxing removing only the cards would make sense. And from the sprue perspective of the few I have I don’t see them doing much magic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So I'm the only one that likes primary painting scheme most? I find it good enough not to change anything and paint it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I like the default scheme, its just not the scheme I want to paint mine as. I think some people are liking the less bone more exotic styles because they play on the whole "It's reformed bone" aspect far more so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of potential units that span several books. I also like to see new endless spells since they are quite versatile for modeling purposes. 3 hours ago, Overread said: I figure most of the Slaves release new models are Warcry models. At least for this wave. One day they'll likely update others like marauder horsemen and chaos warriors and the like. We wont be disappointed. Its going to be a good one and theres going to be a few surprises. the three eyed king is coming and chaos marches with him ... and all being well it should give you something to do over the festive period.... potentially... but this is just rumour .. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it will be set up similar to how CoS book is. id like them to just open up other options with kits that missed on with CoS like general on Demigryph, which could be made with the kit.. just add in an effortless wars roll lol Things like general on warshrine etc. You may not be disappointed in this respect- the cities of big trousers book is a brilliant template of what the slaves of everchosen could be. 1 hour ago, Clan's Cynic said: I'm just surprised they're still called Slaves to Darkness. I expected a more, uhh, 'heroic' name like... say, Everchosen. Who knows- it could well be the case, how about everchosen slaves to darkness? just remember, there's been a lot building up to this with warcry, and also the fleshing out in the lore about the varanspire and eightpoints and its goings on. Chaos and its servants are an intrinsic part of the lore if AoS. now, what will be a question is how the marks are handled, whether a slaves army is undivided as to separate it from its god specific armies ior whether a slaves army can be marked and still be mashed together with a god army, or whether that possibility is grand alliance only... interesting times.

ageofpaddsmar Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 6 hours ago, JPjr said: actually I tell you what, I genuinely thought StD would be a bigger release in the same spot Gloomspite sat in this year and that the oft touted new Tzeentch BT would be the one they'd slip out this year with just new terrain/spells. BUT if Tzeentch is now coming out next year then it resurrects a thought I had a while ago that the obvious thing to do would be a KO vs Tzeentch box set with the accompanying fluff some campaign set in Chamon, they could then pump out those two refreshed BTs at the same time. So expect to see that in say Feb/March I reckon. A Tzeentch vs seraphon box would be a better fit. Two magical power houses going at it. Perfect to release a new plastic slann. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Iron Golem is how they’re referred to by GW on the web store anyway. I can definitely remember releases that big when much of it is small specialist games stuff and 6 of them would be reboxed kits anyway.

Indecisive Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Azyrite Ruins exists and is indeed "Ruins"https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Age-Of-Sigmar-Azyrite-Ruins-2018 Shipping manifest said: DOMINION OF SIGMAR FRACTURED STORMTHRONE, DOMINION OF SIGMAR ASTROLITHIC SKYSHRINE. Also, the biggest concern. Why would they not rename it like basically everything else got? Plus, pretty sure Everchosen getting merged into it.

shadowgra Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Well 4 years waiting to have STD be playable and now they are not doing any new miniature for them? With a 15y old range of warriors/marauders? I love undivided chaos, but i am not giving them money for old and ugly miniatures for sure. So disappointed.

We should really be taking these leaks with a truckload of salt but I get what your saying. Don't forget though StD did technically get new models with Warcry, that said I'm still holding out hope that they'll at least update chaos warriors and chosen. I suspect the warcry warbands will replace the marauders but honestly who knows what they've got planed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting the 8 Warbands from Warcry and the new furies and raptors and the new beast monster. That's actually more unique sculpts than most armies have had and the warcry warbands are very diverse even within each band let alone band to band. The only thing Slaves might well lose is many of the fine-cast leaders - exalted chaos lords. Otherwise their range isn't too bad. A few older plastics, but otherwise most of it in plastic with a good range of varied units. There is room to update them and things like Chaos Chosen are a bit of a risk (finecast) but otherwise they are not in as bad a spot as, say, Skaven for old models. Plus don't forget being Chaos they've got options to bring in models from 5 other full armies (all 4 core gods and Beasts of Chaos) Also on that extended rumour list it contains a lot of things we've heard of already such as the Christmas battleforces rumoured from the french site. However I'm curious why they are reboxing gaunts and the hive tyrant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Another reason that I'm skeptical about the StD release in December is that means they would have to publish rules for The Spire Tyrants and The Scions of the Flame before the kits are out.....and unless they are coming out a few weeks after the book GW hates to do that. I think there is still a good chance we will get an updated box of Chaos Warriors or Varanguard on Foot. Maybe a dual kit of both. We had that armored gauntlet teaser from WarCom that looked very much like a Varanguard gauntlet holding a weapon haft. I assumed it would be Spire Tyrants, but it was not. Really that's all the faction really needs for new models. The old Warriors are very dated, and while not the worst plastics GW offers, they are very clearly very too small and made to be built in regiments. The Warcry bands can replace Marauders, the leader models are mostly plastic, etc. The new monsters add some neat new stuff. I suppose if we are getting a Slaves release this year we will probably find out the weekend after this at Blood and Glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Considering how long GW has left things like the arch regent not be on sale from them directly it might be that GW is slowly weakening its fear of 3rd party producers. Of course I dont' think they'll go back to the days of putting models into tomes/codex that never get models or which are 5 years off etc... However it might mean that they are open to staggered releases. Don't forget Bonereapers are going to have quite a lot of models not released by the time the Battletome is out and at GW's current pace it could easily be a while month if not more before the majority are released. Also note that the warriors aren't too small for regiments; they are very high in points value so you are unlikely to (at present) build regiments of them.
