Thanks. Oh my goodness, why didn't I realise this before? Maybe because it never even occurred to me that GW would give something away for free. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferban Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It looks available on GW's site. Search for "Malign Sorcery". Most of the generic endless spells come in that box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW started selling the endless spells from the first and second box in separate (without the books) boxes online. It is possible, and it is evil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenspeer Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 A Styropor ball and some greenstuff for the spikes should be an easy and cheap proxy. What's the diameter of the purple sun? 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmantra Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 If you mean diameter of the model itself, it's a little tricky to get an exact measurement but it seems to be somewhere around 80mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) The Necromunda dwarves really fit Kharadron well. I have a box of them now, but their base size is nonsense and they don't get the good Necromunda bases. I put him on a 25 mm though, because that's useful for me. Also, only 10 heads of 5 designs (only male) for 8 figures, few melee weapons. It isn't so hot for a Necromunda set.

Oh wow you can see such similar designs in the shoes!! I wonder if some KO designs became Squats/LOV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Necromunda dwarves are squarely between Kharadron and LoV Necromunda dwarves have an old timey space suit aesthetic, Kharadron an old timey diving suit, while Votann looks positively sci fi. Look at the backpacks especially, Necromunda is a lot less modern than Votann, but would fit right in with Kharadron I also thought the designs of Kharadron might have originally been designed for 40k, but then, the earlier Necromunda squats were this, which looks more like old squats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Reading the Chaos Mainres leaks, I've seen something that made me smile: Marks of Chaos have abilities (again)!!! I'm really curious if that will be the same for Slaves to Darkness units. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious if that will be the same for Slaves to Darkness units. They kind of do in Slaves when a hero is nearby, but from experience, that can feel pretty finicky and disincentives mixed armies (because then the opponent only needs to kill one hero to stop a mark working). The thing S2D has thematically over monogod armies is that they can mix together to create a more versatile faction, but it doesn't really work in practice with the mark rules. It would be nice if a mark on its own provided at least some small buff. Unfortunately the 40k and AoS rules teams are totally seperate and don't talk, so one choice won't change the design of the other. I am hoping that Slaves get a rethink; marks and Eye of the Gods are cool, but they both feel relatively low impact due to their reliance on heroes (and Eye of the Gods being more of a narrative rule). Most of the rules are cool, but something to make the army feel more imposing would be nice. I am still sore about the Slaangor-level Daemon Prince warscroll 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the 3rd edition battletomes have had solid and characterful rules so far and I doubt that will change with StD. I think we'll get a very hard hitting elite army with the focus being on the characters, as it should be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Kill Team has a new trailer thats looking an awful lot like Space Hulk!! Hopefully we will see a trailer for a new Warcry set soon and then a reveal shortly after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get a Mordheim themed Warcry set down the line! I also am pretty confident that the new Warcry box will be the Centurion, Legionares and Hashut followers, and people will be disappointed as the nurgle swamp units will be in an expansion set. In that case I will of course be obliged to purchase the set setting back my little 40k Knights/Darkdmech/HH project back... of course being me I had no real plan after getting the Chaos Knight box and just throwing out ideas!

OkayestDM Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 So, it was about 40 days from the official announcement of the Skaven/Sylvaneth box to the release date for both battletomes. If the Lumineth/Tzeentch release follows the same time-frame, we could potentially see the books as soon as the first week of August. Admittedly, this runs counter to the "autumn" release time indicated by the roadmap, but GWs always been a bit wishy-washy on the exactness of such things.

The kill team boxes so far have been some of my favorite 40k releases, though I wish that the teams were in individual boxes for the most part (especially the Chaos Space Marines and Traitor Guard). I'm rather interested on what the rest of the Warcry season will look like, particularly the war bands. We now "know" that the rotmire creed (Nurgle bois) are not included with the rest of the cultist units in the Slaves to Darkness battle tome, meaning that they belong to the Maggotkin fully. Does this mean that each god will be getting their own specific "cult" unit, and if so how do they play into the existing lore? Oh the hype is getting real now boys and girls! In regards to your Chaos Knight/Darkmech Heresy army, I'd be happy to compare notes @Neverchosen. My guys are based off of Feudal Japan and modern day Japanese biker gangs (Dark Mech) and samurai mixed with Day of the Dead iconography (Chaos Knights), backed up by the Night Lords and Thousand Sons respectively.

By comparison, it was 106 days between the announcement of Arena of Shades and the release of the Nighthaunt/DoK battletomes. I don't think we can guess anything too specific just based on the gap between announcing this and release of the books. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd put it smack in the middle of September, which would line up with the Autumn release time. I'm just an eager-beaver over here. I collect both Tzeentch and Lumineth, and am hopeful that they'll be updated so that they offer more list-building diversity and are more fun to play against for my friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we start getting more and more Warcry as I feel like Kill Team has had at least 2 boxes, possibly 3 by the time the next Warcry box drops!! Im also really hoping that the first Warband in the boxed set contains a Destruction/Order Warband alongside the Chaos Warband. It made sense for just Chaos in the Eight Points but in the wilds of Ghur it will not stand!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diepotato47 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Personally I’m hoping for a quicker turnaround between announcement and release, given that we found of through the GHB I’d dare say they had initially planned to have this out by now. Kill Team Moroch was announced on the 6/5 and preorder was 22/5. Something like that turnaround would be super! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Apparently GW's gotten rid of all it's external 40k playtesters (according to Honest Wargamer). Not a big surprise considering how many leaks the ship was springing, seems like it was inevitable. Be interesting to see what happens on the AoS/30k/Specialist side of things.
