CommissarRotke Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Of course they have this big stuff the one year I can't make it down to PAX Unplugged i stg... Hoping there's no exclusive models and it's only 'exclusive' previews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) I wonder if the new Battletome allows us to use the Chaos Mammoth since it has all the required Keywords.... (would be AMAZING). Also Mierce just launched an awesome mammoth! I imagine if GW had put out a massive plastic mammoth (they also appear in the AoS Lore) the internet would have thrown bars of gold at them XD Edited December 6, 2019 by JackStreicher spelling- as usual :D 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Considering that right now FW is losing AoS models at a fairly scary pace I wouldn't put much stock in the Mammoth returning. If FW is going to start supporting AoS (thus far they've only managed 1 chaos dragon that started in the End Times - and 12 alternative stormcast heads in 4-5 years of AoS) then we might hear about it, but otherwise I wouldn't put hope on it returning. There's actually more potential hope that FW might make a plastic one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just a word of warning -- the Mierce mammoth is significantly smaller than the FW one. Both are great models though, and TBH the Mierce one is more practical sizewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Could one currently use the mammoth for Slaves of Darkness or was it moved to legends permanently? @swarmofsealsis there a size-comparison anywhere?

Grimrock Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Is anyone else kind of flabbergasted that we only got a single rules preview for S2D this week? There's usually 2 or 3 right? Hosts, endless spells, new models... I assumed we'd at least get a deeper look at everchosen today but nothing. I mean if GW isn't even trying to hype the release I really don't know what to expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimrock Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Overread said: There's still a whole week before the Battletome releases. Yeah, but they usually roll out the previews before the pre-order to build hype. Articles after the pre-order are usually pretty sparse, maybe a tactical one or a painting article. For example they've completely ignored the endless spells. The only completely new models of the release (ie. not resculpts) and we still have no idea what they do. I know the GMG review should reveal all tomorrow but it's weird for them to rely so heavily on a third party.

At least that's how its been with Bonereapers, Maw Tribes, Orruk Warclans, Cities, etc. Also, the updated warscrolls should be up on GW's New Zealand website in a few hours.

Overread Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Maybe GW wants to reduce pressure on the servers and instead of bigging up a release before pre-release they'll big it up during the week in the hope that it spreads out some of the pre-order hype? Considering these are retail releases they won't run out (they might run out of stock, but they will cast more). So there's less pressure needed for a day one purchase. IT might also just be that some of the GW community team are on holiday and thus some of the updates are being handled by non-regular staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartazjb0y Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think part of it was that this week seemed fairly heavy on preorders across all their ranges so maybe their focus was split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know I did) Actually one of my favoured Khorne models and I don't like the Bloodthirsters or several of the other big Khorne ones. Didn't realise it was an AoS generation release (gives me a tiny bit of hope that we might one day see a Slaanesh Demon Prince or even a Tzeentch one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZ site is currently showing "Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore" on pre-order. The Sorcerer version did not have its own entry in the shop for a while, so I guess the warscroll on the page is the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartazjb0y Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 NZ preorders open, SC! description: Quote Designed lovingly for the Mortal Realms, these models are only found in this set and make the ideal basis for your army. 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yeah it was revealed earlier that the ones in the SC set are mono-pose models with no optional parts. The previous edition knights and warriors are still on sale. It means that updated sculpts and optional parted models for them are likely not coming until some time next year. That said even monopose and with limited options they still look great - I'd love to have a set or two to compliment my Slaanesh force.

Raviv Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) You can see the full list of warscrolls in the battletome in this picture: https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/60030201022_ENGS2DBattletome02.jpg I see the new Warcry monsters, but not the Scions of the Flame.

Boytoy Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 seems odd that spire tyrants would be there, but scions aren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
