Overread Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 If the models are in the new Warcry books then yep GW will have to show them off this week before everyone sees them formally in the new book this coming weekend (and likely a few days before). So I'd wager not only will we see them but we'll see them on Monday or Tuesday - perhaps Wednesday at the latest. Any point after that the "risk" of leaks is just way too great 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any point after that the "risk" of leaks is just way too great Yeah, considering some GWs and LGS give people preordered items a little bit earlier (with deliveries tending to be on Wednesday), I would imagine GW would want to be the first people to break the news about the new models 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reeeeeally need to scoop up some more before Covid lockdowns generate strong 1H hobby sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reeeeeally need to scoop up some more before Covid lockdowns generate strong 1H hobby sales. One problem is a lot of the bigger firms that hold GW stock do so mostly because historically GW is a "safe" bet to invest in and being a hobby franchise they will typically do better during economic downturns/recessions than some other firms (when things get bad people look for more distractions). So even with a downturn many of them would likely hold onto the stock. Especially since any short term downturn is likely to, as you say, provide a greater chance to return on investment later. Of course a few of the power buyers who just want stock for fast returns might well drop GW if things slow down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khajiit in AOS!! That would be a fun army to watch! I think I remember the beastman in the southern part of the old world were made of different animals like tigers and stuff and also snakemen have been around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be awesome if the Slaangor champion could be build with a fish/frog/whatever head!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 @Beliman funnily enough I was looking at that chap just this weekend, here you go...

Carnelian Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 So firstly let me echo comments of a few other posters: there is plenty of new AOS fiction coming and most of it is much better quality than the first few years of AOS fiction. Josh Reynolds led the way but he's by no means the only writer putting out decent AoS stuff. Secondly, just back on the vampirates, I know it's a bit tangential but there IS at least some lore evidence of undead coastal monsters that could just maybe, possibly be a tiny hint at vampirates (but probably isn't and is probably just an author having fun) in one of the Idoneth Deepkin shorts: The Ghosts of Khapthar. Pretty sure it has big undead crabs in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Túrbóbelja Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Idk, could be Seraphon.. don't the Kroxigors have a weapon option named sun toothed Maul ? But also thinks it's unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a priest or something with a huge mace. Photos aren’t working for some reason. Ministorum I has the sun in the middle, Inquisitorial one has horizontal bars.

SirSalabean Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I only thought seraphon as they have orbs with spikes on. It’s doesn’t awfully represent anything I’ve seen completely but maybe a Kroxigor for the Underworlds models? With a sun maul thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slanesh and tzeench stuff confuses me, like Nurgle is fairly easy to understand the looks it’s mainly pustules and disease with flys and such. Khorne is just bloody more traditional Demons, a bit Diablo looking. But slaanesh being crab claws and cows confuses me you’d think maybe snakes would make more sense idk. Tzeench is just caw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
