EccentricCircle Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Anyone know how we actually find out when the store anniversary models come out for our local stores? Is there a list of when all of them are throughout the year, or do we just need to follow them on FB and hope its not until after the plague?

You'd need to check with the store but any store that would celebrate while closed is post poning it till they reopen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 How about we get a Vampire Hunters vs Vampires/Zombie box due to the rumour engines? I don't know if there was such a idea in this thread, sorry if somebody did mention it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the aesthetics and besides Gargants, Zombies are one of my favourite forms of pop culture be it movies, tv, comics and videogames. If there is a Zombie Faction you bet my Gargantuan foot I'll be on it. Gatebreaker is in the post and I have a week off next week so hoping it arrives before then!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Yeah its kind of surprising how neglected zombies are in AoS given their pop culture appeal, the sprues were ancient even when i was building a zombie cannibal army for Tempus Fugitives event back in Warhammer that was!

Sance Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I guess zombies are hard to copyright. I'm guessing the new deadwalkers will be GW take on zombies like the sculpt we saw in the teaser with the big axe and the gun (?). I imagine all the range will be buffed zombies with fancy panses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jator Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Probably irrelevant. but the Grotbag Scuttlers were mentioned again in December's Tome Celestial: Quote The origins of the Spiderfang lie in the Age of Myth. It was then that, for whatever reason – and the shamans have put forth many theories on this, ranging from a command uttered by mighty Gorkamorka himself to a mushroom-fuelled escapade that blew wildly out of proportion – the original grot tribes diverged. Many sought sanctuary in the dank and clammy places, becoming the Moonclans. Some, often those who hailed from industrious Chamon, took to the air as the Grotbag Scuttlers. If GW doesn't have new goblins in the works they're just being cruel.☹️ 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sprues HAVE to be over 20 years old at this point surely? I know a lot of other Factions such as Skaven and Eldar are in the same boat but I really cannot wait to see what they do with them, especially after the Mega Gargants and Slaneesh Mortals.

Has a real "In the Hills, the Cities" look. RE: zombies, they really are old models. Not bad for their day but cartoony in the extreme now. I would imagine that if GW goes in the direction of a more distinctly GW take on zombies (like this mooted zombie design with bits of gravedirt, plants, wood, etc built in) it'll help them avoid competition with other more recent zombie ranges. The Mantic zombie horde gets you twice as many superior zombie models (one of the few times this is true about Mantic's quality) for a hair more than the GW deadwalker box. Modern GW would never sell a kit with that many minis so they'll need an angle, which is most likely to be a kind of AoSification. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sance Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I use Fireforge zombies (they have the good size for warhammer minis unlike their other products) for my Mordheim warband + Frostgrave Good sculpts and its all hard plastic. So yeah like Kingbrodd said, I imagine the new deadwalkers to be very different more like draugr but pirate 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Many thanks folks Unfortunately i dont have any other photos and hes stashed away in storage somewhere +1 on the Mantic zombies, they were less than half the price at the time for good enough minis for a ravening horde, things like zombies genuinely benefit from being cheap and huge i think, which gw could do, pack a sprue solid with minis with minor posability and extra heads and cut your margins and you will sell boatloads, folks will do their own conversions and kitbashes if they are that way inclined buts its cheaper and easier for people who want literally hundreds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The easiest thing to AoS’ify zombies that I can think of is a mix of zombies from all the races. With bits and bobs on there from those factions. skinny zombies with whip and knife with last few bits of king hair. Broad, hulking zombies with pieces of yellow armour nailed into their flesh. Small armoured zombies who hold a rifle like a club. would make ‘copy right-able’ as well I think kinda like the old mixed skeleton dogs of war unit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldarain Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Perhaps it's because I'm burnt out on horde armies but I'd love a zombie faction that was all 60mm+ bases. Different "swarms" of zombies, giant amalgamations of the dead, Monsters stitched together like the Skaven beast. A Deadapult that inflicts damage and deep strikes zombies around the table. And 100% behind @Kramer idea of having all the other races present in the sculpts. That's bothered me since 5th. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sons of Behemat, an entire army of Gargants was my dream army and I thought it would remain that and they weren't even mentioned...ever besides Sky Titans in WHFB and they happend. I think GW will do Grotbag Scuttlers as their second Gitz army. WHFB had Night Goblins and standard Goblins and Orcs so I think theyll do them as people may love Gitz but arent attracted to the Gloomspite Git. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens, which appear both here and one of the critters and keys are also another argument for that. And honestly, once again, I would throw so much money at GW. I am currently living through my viking hype phase, so it would be a bullseye shot right through my wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
