Could be a Chaos Knights multikit ? A man can dream...

I think another Lumineth wave is what we really need!

I want to believe it's marurder horsemen. As @elfhead said it's very much like the chaos knight horses as anyone without them can see on this photo

you're not fooling anyone.  That's a new horse beastman throwing his instagram selfie pose

Looks like chaos to me.   Hoping it’s plastic Centigors and not horse marauders, which is a decent kit already.   Also the lack of armor makes me think Beasts and not Slaves.

I hope you are right, but Centigors don't have hooves.

[Verminlord 157]

Definitely not a centigor "hoof"

[Lucentia 349]

The scarring kinda reminds me of the Doomfire Warlocks horses, but they don't have horseshoes on the current sculpts, I think chaos is more likely here.

Oh to have the Duardin free of the yoke of Big trousers and stupid feathery hats freeguild cities.

Agreed. Give us back our anti-magic banners! Just cause the humans and aelves are inferior doesn’t mean they should knock us down (I’m referring to how Cities Of Sigmar changed all the champion, banner and musicians to have the same effect regardless of race or unit)

unless GW is going to do a complete 180, this isn't going to happen in AOS. Stormcast are the poster faction for branding but are a middling army at best right now.  And while I LOVE seeing so many diverse AOS releases, Stormcast haven't gotten anything since Soul Wars released aside from some books and anniversary models... BR Morathi did not really do anything for our army comp wise. There's no way they even come close to the BS that is Marines in 40k.

AOS is selling well enough that GW knows this strat is working, and I will give them the benefit of the doubt of being smart enough to not paint themselves into the same corner of 40k's Marine spam.

Well, I hope you are right. There has indeed been a long period of SCE being absent from the hype schedule, might be building up for some big news come AoS 3.0? Time will tell.

I’m taking a break with the weekly survey this week. What does everyone want to see next Tuesday?

I think in light of the recent Slaanesh and Lumineth update controversies a question about book releases and which army needs updated. It would be fun to cross reference with your popularity poll. Maybe a question about which army most needs an update vs which army do you play which most needs an update to keep folks honest lol.

I'd be interested in results pertaining to aesthetics and design. 

Examples being:

•Do you prefer the low fantasy / high fantasy design of, let's say undead for one, Ossiarch bonereapers as compared to the more traditional Deathrattle or what we've seen of Gravelords?

•Do you like a consistent theme across your army such as Fyreslayers or more of a mix like Cities of Sigmar or Orruk warclans with the two very opposite designs of Ironjawz and Bonesplitterz paired together?

• What age range are you? I'm curious as to the preference of older to younger fans on this topic. 

•Horde or smaller elite force composition? 

Just a suggestion.

I agree with the neverchosen. It would be interested to see it there were questions like: If the faction you have selected for a revamp got that revamp would you buy in? Yes/No/Already have it.

For anyone who submitted to the Warhammer Horror contest in October, check your emails. 

Just got informed I am advancing to the second round of the contest. Pretty psyched.

The warcry article on Warhammer community has a fee campaign based on broken realms: Morathi. They said they will do one based on Teclis next month so that pretty much confirms we will see it in March.

Based on the timeline of the release of BR: Morathi, I have been expecting BR: Teclis very close to the end of March (two full months after announcement). It will be interesting to see if they are speeding up the release schedule of the BR books. It will be hard to fit in another thing for warcry in time, otherwise.

depends there are 2 slots for AoS the second and the fourth week of March

KT box for 40k is the first week and Drukhari codex is the third most likely. 


I think we could see BR Teclis and the BR boxes the second week of MArch and the full range in the 4th week.

This free Warcy campaign is surprisingly well made, you could have a lot of fun with it.

When do the bi weekly releases end? Or are they going to continue going forward? Personally I actually enjoy them.

The original announcement was that bi-weekly releases will happen in January and February, so potentially they are back to weekly starting next week.

Does the Black Library Celebration + Uriel Ventris miniature count as a normal release week? If so we are already back on weekly as last week was Slaanesh and DoK next will be BL and the one after that will be Kill Team

A interesting variant on "how old are you" might be "how old were you when you started the hobby".
