Still this could be the beginning of a new starter set with serphons, vs. skaven, instead of poster-things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, don't expect rage. Lately GW greatly improved their previews. It seems they are listening and what really pays off are previous tantrums as you call it. If everyone was ok with poor previews GW wouldn't feel the need to improve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Whitefang liked my predictions! What do I win? If I get to choose my prize, I do want flying wolf cav! Or flying squigs, just seems the next logical step in squig evolution!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Ghal Maraz coin + Grave Guard is the May collectible Edited April 29, 2021 by Nezzhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 So it's save to assume that Grave Guard will stay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Ghal Maraz coin does suggest 3.0 then, being the iconic Warhammer and all that. The Grave Guard's a shame since that presumably means no new kit for them - going to look a bit weird next to the new, taller skeletons. No Soulblight coin is a surprise too.

Elmir Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 It's good that they are redoing skeletons of course. But... If I had to pick some units I would have redesigned from the ground up, the old skeletons would not have made the shortlist... I'm not even planning on getting (a lot) of the new ones when I have 80 of the old ones and to be honest... they hold up fine. I feel the same about black knights and grave guard tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a guy who doesnt have a sickblade seeker in the race, grave guards look like an utter garbage. Add some mold to them and they look like my leftovers I have in the bin right now.

Agreed that the Ghal Maraz coin is a nod to 3.0 news. The Grave Guard miniature also suggests to me that Gravelords release is May or at the very minimum the full line up reveled in May.

It is odd at times I'll admit, especially with how Ogors are described as almost twice the height of a man and thrice as wide yet Duardin are around chest height. Hopefully newer Ogors are almost Ironjawz sized!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got any dire wolves painting examples that could look like the presented paw? The clawed wing rumour engine I'm expecting to be for SGL though I meant werewolf or bestial vamp style sorry, I don't think a dire wolf (or gitmob wolf) would be perched like that edit: werewolf/werevamp would also account for the 'toe', even outside of fantasy biology Edited April 29, 2021 by CommissarRotke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
