Sabotage! Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This guy will be buying a SC set and a battletome this December (my Xmas gift to myself). Also how cool would it be for GW to release SC bundles with army releases instead of a year or two down the road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyshadow Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I have primed Chaos Warriors up next in my painting queue and am delighted that they will mix in a cohesive way with the new range. (As long as any scale creep is not too dramatic!) Looking forward to painting all these new Chaos models and getting my hands on the book (and Warscroll cards) too! P.S. I LOVE that Giraffe cat thing too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrycontra Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if that new SC set ends up being the highest selling SC GW has ever made. First of all, it's packed with cool models and all of them are brand new (making people buy these boxes in bulk), secondly, every khorne, tzeentch, slaanesh and nurgle players (especially tzeentch and slaanesh) may want this set to add as part of their army and on top of that, those who want pure StD armies are gonna spam this box. It's also very nice spammable box. I'm personally already planning on getting two for my tzeentch army (don't care for pure std). I also want that cool cat. I don't care if it can't be used by tzeentch directly, I'll squeeze it as ally or convert it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriakin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 6 hours ago, VBS said: Seems like unanimous praise for the new models. I think this shows the potential of simply updating awesome old miniatures with the latest technology instead of going full crazy weird concepts that are much more polarizing, for a reason. Also, I bet it was much easier to make as it's basically revamping models, rather than design from the ground. Yea. GW have shown that they can make whole new concepts from the ground-up, but also resist the temptation to re-invent the wheel when they feel an older concept has a viable following. So GW, about those Blood Knights... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecktron Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Edit: Deleted off topic comment Back on topic, I really like the new models. Definitly gettig the new Start Collecting. Looks like I found my first Chaos army! Edited November 3, 2019 by Gecktron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 After the small disappointment aesthetic wise with Ossiarch Bonereapers I love everthing previewed this time. Warcry keeps delivering beautiful and unique mini's and those new Chaos mini's are just perfect. Fantastic work from GW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ll probably be monopose like Shadowspear and the Sisters box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JangutzKhan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I think we should watch this space regarding Std. If all the new models are in the SC box then I reckon they'll be some new stand alone units/models coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmaster Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This actually gives me high hopes for new replacements for lots of old models next year. All while maintaining the traditional basic design. Yeah! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Those Monsters for Warcry are great. If there was any impulse for me to start a Slaves to Darkness it would be them, not new chaos warriors /knights. To ordinary for my taste. Khorne does it better for me. Although great GW did that with a SC box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowki Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Great to see so many happy faces . Looks like the long waiting has been rewarded with an awesome army, with so much variety to choose from. Everchosen, the warcry warbands (with still one to be revealed), new Chaos Beasts etc, and now these new warriors, and a SC with only new models included, I would be over the moon if I played Chaos. I am actually tempted to start an army, if it wasn't for the huge pile of plastic that is already bigger than my house can store and my mariage can bear I wonder how long the Godsworn Warband will last now. The only ones that might be still be a bit disapointed are the ones that hoped for a full Darkoath faction, but I guess no one really expected that one anymore anyway. I guess this reveal pretty much concludes what we can expect this year. Only thing left from the leaked list (which I think no one doubt anymore it is completely correct) is the StD Endless Spells. I also see some Azyrite Terrain, but I guess that will be the warcry terrain from the starterset sold seperately, right? The new Warcry Beasts doesn't seem to be for this year, nor is the revealed WHU warband, or the two remaining Warcry warbands. Question that remains is the sudden price increase for the (warcry) warbands released with the BattleTome. That seems to be rather extreme, even for GW. On the other hand just adding more or even new content wouldn't be fair to the people that already invested. in the current sets. Anyway, we will find out soon enough. Personally I think this has been a great year for AOS. No less than 12 new BT, and for what I understand all of them improvements. A full new army (OBR), a major release (GloomGitz), a fair amount of great new models for both Slaanesh and StD, even more if you include the warcry warbands, new Heroes for Skaven, Mawtribe, FEC and Sylvaneth. Gotrek and 2 SC for CoS, Endlessspells, faction terrain, Forbidden Power, WarCry, and some great new terrain kits (Dominion of Sigmar.) And maybe not 100% AOS, but still usable, new edition of WHU, various Warbands and of course Contrast Paints, which may not be revolutionary but definatly a great new tool and timesaver for many of us. I think it is very good that GW focussed on consilidating the factions, and having proper 2.0 rules for every existing model. I think it is not realistic to expect a relatively complex game like AOS to be ever completely balanced, but I think things definatly improved with the new Tomes. At least they try. CoS i.e. Some people may not be happy with the fact this is a soup Tome, but at least all these small factions without a proper BT, now finally can be played competatively. And similar to i.e. LoN it opens up the opportunity for GW to extend subfaction into a full new army anytime in the future. Also the weakest of all 2.0 factions (I think), Night Haunt, got access to a more competative option via LoG, maybe not top Tier, but at least much better. With just a few BT for an update left, I think we have a great time ahead of us, with new armies, major updates etc. Especially once the new production plant will be ready at some point. On the negative side. Well I think removal of so many kits long before CoS was eventually released, and without proper communication, was Rock Bottom. I can see why people were really upset about it. Also the various Dual boxes selling out way to quick was a bit of a bummer, especially as the included new heroes are still not available seperately. Oh and of course the price increases didn't make any of us happy either. Other than that, I really think we have not much to complaint about. Even for people who think SCE get generally to much attention, can't complain as although they were not completely neglected, there weren't that many new models for them this year either.

elfhead Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I’m so happy with these new chaos warriors. Not just because they look great and true to what they are, but mostly because so Many people really wantend this to happen and GW delivers. Also, knights on actual, regular horses in AoS😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 GW hit hard. I didn't want to start new army. And then, comes the feat of bones: Bam! started 2 new armies. And now...a SC! to mix to my old chaos army which now has to be finished (more plastic! need archaon and varanguards). Even if you have to "finish/refresh" your existing army, it is another 80€ of SC! + 32€ of BT + 30€ of ES + probably a scenery/terrain? => 140€ or more. Just to refresh an army. lol. But don't read me wrong: I'm soooooooo happy it just happen.😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManlyMuppet88 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 If this is all we get for the Slaves to Darkness release I will be happy but I would really love to see the Marauder kits get re-worked. Especially in a Darkoath style - that hasn’t really gone anywhere yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! 😀 Yea, there's still some drek around...: Blood Knights, Saurus Knights, Centigors, Icefall Yhetees, Frost Sabres, Vargulf, Fell Bats, Salamander, Razordon, Night Runners, Gutter Runners, Gorgers, Zombies, Dire Wolves, etc. I guess Furies are technically sorted now, while I left Marauders off the list due to the 437849274 barbarian options that are available now (although that terrible kit does still technically exist). For me, some of the other Finecast is just about acceptable (e.g. most of the Ogres), if not ideal. They are slowly whittling down the list, but still some way to go.

Now... the fomoroid crusher.... big guy with the potential to throw rocks, or bits of that scenery piece he's got in his hand... what if there was a unit of two or three in a box of something like him, or of comparable size? On another note... Did we pick up on the snippet in the chaos lord on big thing description: Quote Lastly, we’ve got a monster-mounted (and massive) Chaos Lord. This huge model (seriously, he’s big) is a dark mirror to the Lord Celestant on Dracoth and a truly terrifying combatant, ideal for spearheading your assaults on the pathetic kingdoms of the Storm God… did someone not pick up a couple of weeks a go that one of the Cities of Big Trousers units has Azyr as a keyword or something? Does this mean that Archaon is taking the fight to the gates of Azyr? 😲 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
