So far i have seen no sign of anthing else than what was on the three built options shown at the original reveal. I.e. the latest picture shared on facebook of the kraken eater ( named character, dont knw the name by heart), which is clearly a different paint job but doesnt seem to have any other bits than what was on the karaken eater shown at the reveal, or any picture of it shared after that. unless I missed it of course. And maybe it is also not realistic to expect more from a kit that already have three built options which are all quiet different from eachother. That is already a lot of plastic left after buikding one of them. is there any particular reason why you are so sure there will be any more bits in the box not yet shown? Please say there is The Aleguzzler kit just had quite a few extras for the base and seeing that the Megas base is enormous it would make sense to have options to put on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowki Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Fingers crossed, as you say it would make sense. so we exoect it to be be pre order on 10th , release 17th right. With a major Necron/space marines release for next week first? Edited September 27, 2020 by Lowki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 That giant kit came from a very different era of warhammer models though. Back then the fashion was very much for kits with ooads of interchangeable parts, so that you could mix and match almost everything to make unique looking models. But pretty much since then they've moved towards the idea of having several build options each of which is unique, but essentially monopose, without much potential for customisation. (Besides really converting it anyway.) Its the price we pay for more technically complex minis! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Besides really converting it anyway.) Its the price we pay for more technically complex minis! Yeah I think you are definately right about that. As you say it is the price we pay for the more dynamic poses (which is the fasion now I think) and therefore more complex miniatures. I have seen lots of compaints about new models being monopose, but personally I can understand why it is much harder to make these models fit with multiple built options than the far more static poses of the rank and file units we saw much more often in the past. I guess some people would be more happy with more static models for the larger baseline units, and more dynamic for leaders and smaller units. But that doesnt seem to be the direction GW is going. sttill, that doesnt mean there cant be a lot of bits for the base, as KingBrodd says it is a huge base, that allows for a lot of variation, would be a shame if if it doesnt have any options for it inside the box (the models shown have a rather dull looking base though) Edited September 27, 2020 by Lowki 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armisael Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 9 hours ago, Nezzhil said: I think is fake. GW is talking almost every day about the release of the SoB very soon. If it is true that means a lot of weeks with 40k releases, it's very strange, they usually alternate games releases. 40k have fake rumours every month. Another point is Ben painting two armies, the Gargant army a few weeks ago and the Troggoth army at this moment... he knows things... Unfortunately, there's high possibility that it is not a fake. Some FLGS already confirmed the pre-order date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that they're finally coming though!! I fully expect to see the Facebook comments, when it's not the Sons this evening, moaning about being lied to when in fact as we have seen the Audio Drama gives us the most solid release date yet. *My fingers and toes are still crossed just in case but I wont be shocked if they're not announced today.

Dankboss Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The Rockgut kit is super customizable like older kits, but goes together like a modern kit, so having Gargants be customizable is not out of the question. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiagoma Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I hasve been assembling the Lumineth kits from the starter box and been really missing those bunch of extra bits. It is kinda sad to not have options like older kits used to have. Also miss those cool bits to add to bases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is enough shields to build a fort ! What i miss is the spare pouches, daggers, medals, scenary and so on. Also missed extra flags on dawnriders. Would love extras for conversions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I look at the Escher Necromunda sets (2017 and 2020), they are both dynamic and give lots of build options. I believe other sets also have that. So there is precedence for a best of both worlds.

That's good to hear, I've never built a Necromunder kit, but if they can strike a balance there, then there is no reason why they can't for AoS.

I understand it as well but it’s still a shame. I used kairic acolyte bodies with different heads for my Slaanesh warriors. And this neck to head connections were a pain. I wouldn’t be able to do that when I started. I also have about 2,5 k of stormcast and very little stormcast bits left over. both things discourage converting when you start the hobby I expect. Again it’s understandable and I’ll take more dynamic models any day, but i also can’t help but wish I had more bits left over and easier combining of different kits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Templar_Lad Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 What better way to surprise your opponent than by saying your're one eyed, then to their shock to discover that you in fact, have two working eyes. Using their bewilderment and confusion that you have both eyes, despite claiming to be one eyed, to clobber em over the ead. A most cunning victory. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
