Mandzak-Miniatures

Same, I like the main dude, as I think that kit has a load of potential for painting and conversions. Curious to see how large he is. Still hoping for a large colossus. the army is supposed to be elite, despite them being shown in vast numbers. side note, tombstone guy is probably the worst looking model I’ve seen from GW in awhile. His face and hair, his armor. The only good looking thing are the three severed heads

I understand the lack of news for CoS since it was a big reveal for the boney-boys, Skelecrons, not-tomb Kong’s.. but they really blew it on communication with how the new book works and what it means for those armies to generate some sort of hype. Especially since it seems there is no new terrain or spells for them. It was the right time to talk about it after the Tithe reveal (which wasn’t fully revealed despite them saying just the day before ALL would be). i hope they take this time for blowing it, again, and reflect on it while they smoke lit cigars with hundred dollar queen money watching their stock ticker go up haha.

Skeleton Warrior action figures lol

Someone at GW likes Masters the Universe Golden God Skeletor.

It would seem that the army is a hodgepodge. The mounts in the art have different skeletal animal heads, some figures look statuesque and others more skeletal. Also looks like some design is taken from the morghasts. I for one welcome my new AoS-necron overlords

Looks like animated statues to me. pretty cool!

I second this. I would prefer this bandaid book act like a “SM codex”. Cities are essentially just chapter tactics that cater to certain play styles.

I think the humans in the images are just people from the town carting the towns tithe of bone to these guys. If the tithe isn't enough then this guys empire takes what is necessary and moves on. It's "pay me enough and we wont kill you and we'll move on". I imagine they want the bones to continue to grow and bolster their forces/ constructs. Sounds awesome.

Sounds to me like you're safe from his empires wrath if you can pay enough bone. If not, they harvest. I would imagine the bone is to build up their army more and more.

I think the best thing you can do is just make your own. I’ve always liked Araby, so I’ve taken it upon myself to do an AoS version that mixes in elements of Ind as well. very excited for this book!

@Dieselfruit Do these other cities have unique battle line units? do they still have their previous unit restrictions? -Hammerhal -Tempest's Eye -Living City -The Phoenicium -Excelsis (what is this?) -Anvilguard anything about creating your own city?

Typically when something is revealed, it’s followed up with more info and then pre orders. instead of Cities of Sigmar and orcs we got surprise SM for a month..

Well now that the culling is over, I just want them to release the book so we can all move forward. onward and upward I say

While the empire general on horse may be gone, perhaps there will be an additional wars roll to make a Demigryph Knight a “general” out of that box. Wouldn’t be ideal, due to limited option, but at least there would be a mounted human hero. then the other two knights could be apart of his “crew”. I recall there being mention that a hero can have a posse of some sort

Too bad much of the free people line is intact like the Guard. I had hoped those would go which would indicate a closer revamp to the core line of humans.. man those guys suck haha

I dont believe they would put that list up as "last chance to buy", if they were going to just be reboxed for art and rounds...

Death faction has plenty of 'horses' in ghostly, skeletal and zombie forms

go to games-workshop.com and select shipping to NZ... I understand why most of the things need to go, but they are really taking away diversity from all the free cities. Humans only use guns, aelves only use bows.. etc. smort.

I’m surprised the flagellant are staying but the free guild archers aren’t.. that makes me sad. I guess humans are all about that black powder, which is lame. The cannons going away is weird since they were just in the mercenaries.. slaves to darkness box going must be indicating somethings just around the corner

I don't think they would get rid of the war alter. Probably just changing the name to Excelsior Warpriest on War Alter and base size.

I agree, the Great Cannon was awesome. Though I must say the crew for it might be strange. Then again I think the crew for all the empire weapon teams are weird. actually most things are weird with the exception of the great swords, hunters and bird riders.. I do hope that they give the option of a hero on said bird rider though, it just uses up one of the guys in the box. I believe things like this have been done before.

I find the shamans “clothing” weird, like the lizard man blood bowl teams clothing and overall cartoonish sculpts

Might be a new wyvern boss too

Well it looks like there might be a splash release with the cities of sigmar? that new rumor engine boot looks exactly like that concept art for the mage. Down to the metal arrow on top of the foot.
