The Brotherhood of Necros Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Obsessed. It's a work of art and I love how much it reminds me of that classic artwork — the feels! I would love to pick this up, just to paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitGas Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Could the small skink next to Kroak be any cooler? I really hope they'll soon revamp even the basic minis.... the new stuff is simply to nice for them not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess as well. Absolute power & power within a certain "point range" are two different animals. Make him a good and just as costly. Problem solved (maybe >.< ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 KROAK!? WHAT A REVEAL!! So happy for the Seraphon players but even more so for the narrative now!! We knew Seraphon were showing up in Belakor but surely whatever happens stirs Kroak into action. The only question we have now is, is Kroak in BR Kragnos or BR Kroak(#5)? What a Monday reveal they just keep getting better. Surely Kragnos will be revealed in the coming weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's funny you should say this because I was just thinking how this new Kroak mini hits several of the same visual notes as the Lost Kingdoms' Supreme Sorcerer. That is also a fine model, even if it doesn't leapfrog (😇) the rest of the tired old GW lizardmen range in the same way as some of their other minis. I should say though that rings of sci-tech masonry/structures flying around a central dais/wizard is not completely original as an idea, even specifically within the lizardmen range, so really I’d be more surprised if any new slaan or Kroak didn’t have something to that effect Edited April 12, 2021 by sandlemad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eciu Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So Kroak getting new model and new Warscroll mean he will get a bump in power (as regular rule of GW model upgrade) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think kroak will get nerfed Or tell me how you can make a thing that has 4 spells with +3, +12” and dispells everywhere with +2, with fnp 4++, saving on a 3+ with 17 wounds for 600 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't shock me if he gets nerfed in some fashion. If I were to guess, I'd say he gets approximately 50 points more powerful, but about 200 points more expensive.

With Kroak, Be'lakor, Soulblight, Cursed city, Lumineth, Witch Hunters, Slaanesh and an awesome collection of Underworlds warbands, this has been the best year ever for fantasy Warhammer minis and it's still only April. cries in hobbit feet lelith hesperax and angry cat SoB models. But at least 40k shares the amazing Belakor model who was sculpted by somebody worth his wage and not some intern working on 40k (I am just venting sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsesIII Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I wasn't expecting Kroak at all! My goodness, he looks absolutely incredible. We're suddenly getting so many crazy reveals in such short succession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get everything has now but saving 4+ with FNP 5 (maybe in area like teclis) and with 1 less spell but innate +2 to cast/dispel.

Lowki Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Oh my, that kroak is fanatstic. Always liked the character, finecast my only doubt that hold me from buying before, but...this one is amazing. If GW keeps bringing out models At this rate, I realy can’t resist (CC, Soulblight, Be’lakor, kroak, all underworld warbands ghis year, the nighthaunt guy,, and BR boxes like the one for Seraphon) I going to be broke in no time. What can I sell, my house, my kidney, my wife, my soul. Oh forgot already sold the latter. Like @chikout says, best season ever I think, and we are not even halfway.

Dreddships Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Mad Call. Alarielle vs Kroak vs Kragnos. Gods of Life. Battle Royale. In other news, it took some cheap triceratops and a frog to make me invest into a seraphon army... gg GW. got me again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see GW getting into drybrushing so much, its done so well on this model. Looks like GW took down the painting guide, presumably they didn't want to dilute the Kroak hype with Be'lakor content. Kroak looks really cool, hope the rest of Seraphon line gets similar revamps.

Don’t get me wrong, props to the third party companies in filling the void GW neglect for a long time. I just quite like it when GW come out with their own IP and do a stunning job of it. Even with beautiful designs Of lost Kingdom and Last sword (and even Raging heroes) I have a bit of peeve when I see direct rip offs. On topic, I’m yet to see a Lord Kroak variant out there in the wilds, some Slann and wizard Frogs, but never a dead Frog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaanesh mortal heroes are actually quite good for their costs. Big Centerpiece models are the go to for AoS. and Kroak already has a kick ass warscroll, any buffs on top of it is just cherry on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
