novakai Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 The army box are also not as enticing to buy multiples for general people (even though irl I seen more people have done this ) the miniature discounts is not as great as vanguard boxes and the extra thing like Battletomes and warscroll cards are hard to offload. Often times they put a model in the box that you don’t really need multiples of like Light of Eltherion or the Slann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the sets are very well designed with lots of customization. It's always a classic from GW to make the elites and characters bigger than the rank and file so they stand out more. It's just artistic license, it's been done since classical art. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just artistic license, it's been done since classical art. No, it isn't. In all those years (decades) I am following / playing GW games I can say with a great certainty that there is no consistency in GW scaling. Lol, there is no consistency in anything GW does ;-). It's certainly possible that the GW design team made those Cavaliers bigger to give them more of an elite feeling, In the same way with Cadian guard and Kasrkin, but to claim that this a consistent design philosophy of the design team is taking it a step to far. (imo). Although I wouldn't mind if this is the case, but than I hope it's consistent and than everything can be like orcs, The bigger, the stronger / important... . I don't have any Lumineth, but are the more elite troops bigger than the battleline units? I don't think so. I do have Slaves to Darkness and there it is, but it imo makes sense to have a chosen a bit bigger than a chaos warrior and this is explained in the fluff. Also, it's not that Cavaliers are from noble birth (better growing up conditions) or anything that explains fluff wise their bigger size. The elevate trough skill (not size) to the ranks of Cavaliers. Edit: That said I love everything from the new CoS and can't wait to receive my box and hopefully we see a lot of new CoS mini's in the future!

Hollow Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It's been marked as "Sold Out Online" for some time but that likely just means that the allotment for the web store has sold out, and with AoS V4 coming next year, why do a full print run with current packaging when you can do a new run for 4th Next year. Still available in store and at multiple online retailers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrindur Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) "No longer available online" sadly doesn't actually mean anything anymore. It could be a reboxing, the kit being replaced, taking longer to make some/not planning to make some right now or just a plain old mistake. Before 2021 is was pretty good sign that a kit would actually vanish (for whatever reason) but nowadays many things on the webstore can be "No longer available online" without that actually being the case. For example right now for AoS Skarbrand and Sigvald are also marked and they aren't going anywhere. I can also remember Sigvald being marked since a few months ago (or at least multiple times during those months) so it can take a long while but it shouldn't be forever as he is a newer release. The only way I know about to actually get better information is if you go the GWs trade portal and under order forms you should see an Insert_Delete document. That one documents all code changes for their products (but only for retail products so no use for webstore exclusives) If something is in the deletions tab without getting a new code in the insertions or code changes tab its pretty likely to go away. But even that isn't 100% as for example last weeks (14.08) shows the COMBAT PATROL: AELDARI as going away and not getting a new code and that is very unlikely to happen. Also would be very strange if their Combat Patrol either goes webstore only as no other CP is exclusive to the webstore or gets replaced as it isn't actually that old yet. Or another example the Ardboyz aren't in there at all even thought they are already gone on the webstore. So the best way would be to double check both the webstore and this document Edited August 27, 2023 by Matrindur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Guttered I can't get the army box just yet. Just can't afford it amongst current projects haha. Already have 3 different Cities planned so I know I'll eventually get to them at least. Mostly guttered at the moment though to miss out on the book. Want to dive into all the lore and art right away. Can't wait to see everyone's colour schemes and conversions. We don't have new Flagellants but we have a plethora of material to kit bash from, particularly with the Sister Repentia models, or even the Horns of Hashut and Scions of the Flame units.

Boingrot Bouncer Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Pure speculation but don't feel like they will follow up a big release like the city box with another big like all the new tyranids so I guess that leaves the side games, maybe something for blood bowl. Since I got in to 40k with the tyranidspart of the box I of course hope I am very wrong and all the cool new sculpts are released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still tend to alternate weeks from 40k to AoS. Skirmish games sometimes thrown in the mix to shake things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorticulusTGA Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 This week Cities Of Sigmar Round Table articles almost got me to buy the box, but I resisted Very interesting view of the CoS design and conceptual process anyway. And I'll still get the (generic) Battletome and the Warcry Wildercorps for sure. P.-S. ; one little thing bugs me. Phil Kelly mentions the Seeds of Hope - the first 3 cities in Ghyran - as being in the fluff "since Second Edition", which isn't quite right. The Season Of War campaign is summer 2016, AoS just being 1 year old at the time. Strange, as he must have written the first fluff pieces for them himself. I've linked the old PDF for those interested in the very first Cities of Sigmar background. It was available for free on WarCom and AOS Facebook page IIRC. Good times Warhammer Age Of Sigmar - Campaign - Season Of War.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosskelot Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If nids are the sunday preview for today it's wild to me that we haven't even seen the codex cover yet, or even have any details on the Marine model release. They are keeping things crazy close to their chest right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EonChao Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It could also be the remaining Heresy Knights next then Tyranids a little further into September. But it's weird as I don't feel we've had much teased beyond Cities last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
