Neil Arthur Hotep Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 56 minutes ago, Glutos said: that's a very cool Chaos lord They say the new models are metal though, I remember metal models being a hell to build back when I had them in 2006 (the death guard daemon prince's arm kept falling off) are the metal sculpts better to wok with these days? They are OK for human-sized characters. IMO, metal is preferable to resin for those. If you use super glue to attach their arms, they will fall off if you drop the mini. However, you can syringes of liquid 5 minute, 2 part epoxy easily these days which will be a much more resilient bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they're only revealing the one. Yeah they could flip it and show O&G just to mess with us!

My wallet is a bit nervous about this weekend...😂 I could see it. Especially when they largely led with Bretonnia the first time around and may want to hype up a 'Evil' army more so this time. I am probably reading way too much into that, mind. Watch it turn out to be Wood Elves or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I wonder if they are going to stick with the 2 armies at a time following on from Brets and Tomb Kings? Or will we see a change up and have 1 army at a time each couple of months? Edited January 15 by Hollow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonhel Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The dismounted lord looks, he looked better in the older pictures. But all in all it's a nice mini and will probably look better with a more muted face/head. 10 hours ago, JackStreicher said: So they are a little more slim?

Tonhel Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I just read on another forum that all the CoS dwarfs are out of stock. Which ofcourse is not so rare anymore with GW products. But I wonder if the rumours that a dwarfs release for TOW will be sooner than later that they will be repackaged? It will be a bit ackward to see the same unit in different boxes? Pure logistics wise it would also be a strange decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if the main rumors point out to Orcs&Goblins and Dwarfs release, that means that GW need to have some stock packed with the new The Old World packaging ready for that release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to believe their text about their PoD service you will receive perfection. 😄 Quote Think of our on-demand printing as your personal fabrication workshop.

Our state-of-the-art techniques mean that every little detail is meticulously crafted, ensuring perfection in every piece.

Yeah I’m quit intrigued. i think the biggest question I’m currently asking myself is if those two faction will be getting some new model. personally I’m not expecting much but a remade hero and maybe an infantry unit would be awesome for both faction. Just think how plastic newly made dwarf warriors or ork boys could look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morglum StormBasha Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The rumours were a new plastic wyvern with either shaman or warboss and potentially a new plastic snotling pump wagon. dwarfs I think will be getting a lord on 2 shield bearers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
