They don't even read as non conventionally attractive women to me, like the chaos lord we had a while back, both of the faces just look really manly to me. The helmetted one looks like a hockey player, who may have taken a few hits to the face over the years, and the unhelmetted one looks like an old man. The hair being the same shape as the helmet is pretty silly though. While I agree that the helmeted head is a bit androgynous, the unhelmeted head definitely looks like what I'd imagine for "old school female principal vampire with weird vampire hair". 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even see it as androgynous, I just can't get the image of a hockey player out of my mind. The upper mouth looks really pronounced, like they have a mouth guard in, the helmet blocks the view of the cheeks, and if you consider if she fills out the helmet it makes it seem like she a has a very large and strong jaw, and it almost looks like she's missing a couple teeth.

JackStreicher Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Greywater Fastness looks so good. That vampire gets a headswap, she looks too much like an old male. Edited August 25, 2023 by JackStreicher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I love that GW has been going for a whole “universal monsters turned up to 11” look for their undead factions, but this not-bride of Frankenstein just does not look good. I’ll probably slap on one of those face masks the tomb guard kit comes with (when it’s rereleased) or a blood knight head, but I will not use that goofy un helmeted piece on anything. The Guardsmen of course, looks amazing, then again it’s real hard to mess up the Imperial Guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Veshnakar Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Good grief that new vampire looks PHENOMENAL IMHO. I'm definitely going to swap out the chalice for a shield though and swap in a different sword. Love the armor aesthetic and love how androgenous they look. Could easily pass for male or female. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EonChao Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 For those concerned about getting the Cities box, GW have put a queue system in place like they've done with other big releases so you can hopefully get that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerekKruger Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 23 hours ago, cyrus said: But 100€ ( web direct) for 5 miniatures from the starter set was absolutely dumb ! It's so incredibly greedy isn't it. They could have sold that sprue for £40 and it still works have been overpriced, but at least it would have been more reasonable. I don't it'll go away entirely however. Unless GW are planning on releasing the Murknob and the Great Gnash Toof separately. Having rules without miniatures is something GW really don't like doing these days (after the court case a while back basically said third party companies can produce miniatures for GW IP stuff if there are rules but no GW miniatures). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the vampire, but don't like the head at all (particularly not the helmet). The Kasrkin is just meh, his face is bad and the rest is just a pose that ought to have started as art work. Quite happy that I won't feel the need to buy either on eBay this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EntMan Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I'd not noticed this detail before, but I love the bunch of herb leaves, presumably to counter the stench of the decaying ancestor's head. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) I am not liking that one bit... looks like you'll need to be there in the first 30 secs to grab your box. It's going to be the most extreme shotgun I have ever seen. Edit : do I lose my place in the queue if I refresh the page ?

Hollow Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Why not just order it from a dozen different online retailers that don't have queues, have stock and offer 20% off? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't worry about the queue. It has always made it easier to successfully complete your order. I really don't think the box will sell out that fast. The Seraphon refresh seemed like it would be very popular before launch but the box set didn't sell out for several days. I would be surprised if this box sold out today.

Looked into it, realised that even with the shipping fees it was cheaper, so went to a known retailer and saved 10 bucks 🙂 Also btw the army set is still available on the GW store. I wonder how much they printed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much they printed. The only products that have had problems recently are the kill team boxes and the black library hard covers. There was no repeat of the Indomitus situation with Leviathan. The lancer sold out but not in the first day, I think. As far as I'm aware not a single AoS army box has sold out day one.

Bosskelot Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 GW have been massively overproducing these types of boxes recently. You really shouldn't have any issues getting hold of one, especially as AOS is far from 40K's level of popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
