Nezzhil Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) For Slaanesh will be the new Broken Realms book and it's enough: - The campaigns like this are created to shake the interesting of the game before a new edition, and to avoid to release "half-edition book" like DoK or Nurgle. - PA didn't release any new game of miniatures, only a few characters. - We know from the last Preview that Mechanicus, Sisters, Orks and Drukhari will have new miniatures in the next months. - GW is very apprehensive to release a big new miniature release for an army without a new battletome/codex for it. Only the Spaces Marine Primaris are the exception. - W40k is the BIG game and it needs news every few months. - They are going to release a Xenos army in January. - The plates and shoulder pads are 100% Drukhari.

PJetski Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 KO box is awful, way too much overlap with the Start Collecting. Is ANYONE interested in getting so many gunhaulers and riggers/wardens? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is ANYONE interested in getting so many gunhaulers and riggers/wardens? The boxes generally vary from either building on from start collecting/other sets (eg the Necron clearly carries on well from the Indomitus set); through to being nice places to start a new collection from. The KO might overlap the SC set too much, but it might present an ideal place to begin the army. The Tzeentch one is like that; if you don't have a Tzeentch army its a fantastic way to start one. Or to expand a fairly new one. Ogors I'd argue is much the same; if you've already got an army of them it might not be too interesting; but if you have a new army that's mostly the cavalry; or you are just getting started with them then its a great bundle of key models.

The KO box is a bit disappointing because it's basically Aether War + a Frigate and Gunhauler but you get Brokk instead of an Endrinmaster in Dirigible Suit. Even if you go out and buy a Start Collecting you only have 1 Battleline if you actually play it as Barak-Nar. I think the play is to just say Brokk is actually an Endrinmaster in Dirigible suit and run Endrinriggers as Battleline Brokk is just a better designed Loondrinmaster. I like the boats, I was going to get an Ironclad, but do think the Frigate is prettier, and if the price is right, this is a lot more floaties per euro. I don't care much about the game, but would have preferred one balloon boys and one thunderer, both of those kits are brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love nothing more than to get Vamp updates. But based on all other context with Slaanesh lately, I'm inclined to think it is not Vamps.

This is wrong. Sisters of Battle were released as part of psychic awakening tied in with faith and fury. Additionally, both Aeldari and Drukari, got new units in addition to new heroes with the Phoenix rising box set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzrael Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I am also a little bit disappointed that we don't get OBR battleforce, but there is still hope! They could get mini-battleforce with BR boxed batallion set, right? I'd hope for it to have Zandtos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking up that mono theme with "regular" humans/dwarfs/elves would act as a real nice contrast to them and could make certain aspects of a force easier to distinguish due to them being more unique. That reminds me that if we will ever have a Devoted of Sigmar army, would be nice to have a 1 in 4 stormcast heroes to lead it and 1 in 4 Cities to complement it... that would be amazing as no one Devoted army would look like another and they would not even need too many new models... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Personally, I would be a little disappointed if we didn't get Slaanesh mortals sometime soon. I really liked the models we got last time, but it felt like half a release, with a massive focus on heroes both model and rules-wise; I think this put a lot of people off because troops are what set the theme of the army - it's not great if you like 6 of the 50 models you have in your list. I know a lot of people are looking forward to vampires, and I think they'd be cool too, but it would be a big swing and a miss from GW if they release loads of narrative around Slaanesh and these awesome looking Underworlds warband, new mortal hero (who only buffs mortals), and remove the battleline tag of the only Hedonite mortal unit but don't follow up with new Hedonite mortal troops. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
