Both kits were already grotesque when they came out in 6th edition, and it sucks that they were put front and centre of the photos in not one but two End Times books - alongside nice looking modern dragon kits no less! Could they not have just killed both special characters off, or converted nicer looking models instead (or have just done with Imrik what they'd already done with Teclis and brought back his much nicer 4th ed Jes Goodwin mini instead of the revolting one that dropped with 6th)? ? The old dragons are just ugly -> obese lizards with too long necks and too short wings and a big hand syndrome. the new ones are just the same in plastic: head too big, wings way too small, still looking obese, hands are okay... I guess GW never released a dragon model that was actually good or cool if you look up alternative producers.

Sleboda Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah, an update would be awesome, but given when he was made, he's still great. Fantastic detail, fun to paint, menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skabnoze Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Sleboda said: You shut your mouth! ?? Abaddon was my favorite sculpt for most of a decade! He is still a good sculpt. There is a lot of fantastic detail all over that model. The only problem is that the rest of the range has changed so much in regards to scale that he is now very out of place. He really does need a resculpt simply to make him better match the current 40k model range. But, you can pretty much say that about huge swathes of the standard Chaos Space Marine range. The plastic terminators, marines, possessed, and havoks are all starting to show their age. The Chosen in Dark Vengeance really show cased what GW could do with the Chaos range if they chose to - but sadly they have not so far.

Could anyone confirm this? Moonclan is constantly rumored. It seems extremely likely. Many people are wishful for a combined grot battletome, or at least rolling spiderfang into moonclan. The scuttlings would fit right into that. Where did they get the idea of scuttlings? Who knows. Where did you hear it from? I'd say the likelyhoods are: A grot battletome including at least moonclan - 95% A grot battletome including other grots - 40% A grot battletome including specifically scuttlings - 10% A grot battletome based on grot scuttlings - 2% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm just wondering - if we are to see a Darkoath release this year, what rumour engines would suggest Darkoath? The only one that looks barbaric is the skull on a stick. Could it be that Darkoath will be a bit like Legions of Nagash in that it will roll up some of the Chaos factions into one book rather than getting new models? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiken Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 There's also that Leather Cape that could be either Barbaric or Beastmen looking. Actually, I never thought of Darkoath being Legions of Nagash style of book. But now that you mention it, @LLV said he had a doubt between Darkoath/Beastmen for the incoming release. Maybe it's actually both 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see Well, I don't believe Darkoath to be a GA book, they are from what we know specific in a way that they are barbarians. I would say a GA Chaos book will be, fittingly, "Slaves to Darkness" uniting all subfactions in a way as Warriors/Beasts/demons of Chaos army books did during 6th edition WHFB, where you where free to combine troops from all three books. Or even older, as in Realm of chaos: Slaves to Darkness*/Lost and the Damned. On the one hand I think a GA book that realy makes sence would bie a GA Chaos one, on the other I hope they hold it back for a while, first publishing Slaanesh, something skaven and beastmen/monsters and only than unifying all factions *= ah haha, look at that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks Nurgle-esq - so potentially include Pestilens. Could be an endless spell for Nurgle. Without colours there's a (very) slim chance they could be grubs rather than maggots so be life related (Sylvaneth?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that does look VERY Nurgley. Would be strange to get a big Nurgle release though, especially after Death Guard and Maggotkin have already came out. I kind of hope it isn't Nurgle as they've had quite a bit already, but I'm not sure what else it'd be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've had a few rumours that have been already revealed before, like the sealed door in some 40k scenery, or the clock-compass thing for some other 40k scenery.
