  1. I think these releases are starting to show poor concept. This release is one dimensional “by design”. But when will we see the other elements get attention?

    I think they should have split these boxes  between two elements as alternate builds at least. While the rate of releases have been crazy, there are so many factions that could use a redesign that haven’t(cities, seraphon) or need another wave (idk). I don’t foresee how they could split this into 3 more releases and people still care about the hammer cows, and their own roles in said faction being replaced by water tridents or wind falchion units

    the endless spells are particularly bland, big missed opportunity to make some elemental magic creatures.

  2. By the recent disappointment in terrain pieces, endless spells or lack there of.. I would say it looks like more thought and care is being poured into the old world again lol.

    though to be fair neither of the above have ever been great. However, more so recently there seems to be controversy over the design of said terrain and spells being missed opportunities or weak.

  3. I am not so sure about the mage. I can see it with different elemental bases, helmet options and staff tops akin to the old HE mage kit

    The archers are different, not the parachute pants I wanted.. but should make light work into some Araby units. Not sure I like the unrefined three string top of the bow.. hoping for an alternative 

    also hoping for some sick elementals for endless spells 

    **edit: archers have less than desired A-symmetrical thigh armor/ shield built in

  4. I’m not involved with playing so I’m not sure if this is a trend or not.

    I was clipping some Thralls I was going to model for apart of my cities project and noticed that it would seem most new things are put on 32mm bases. Seems odd that new IDK models are on 32 where things like all the old selves, humans dwarves are all on 25s.

    not sure if it’s because they are smaller in scale or what. But thought it was something.

    I figure most of the Slaves release new models are Warcry models. At least for this wave. One day they'll likely update others like marauder horsemen and chaos warriors and the like. 

    Oh yeah I agree, I’m just curious about what’s included. I’m sure it will be set up similar to how CoS book is.

    id like them to just open up other options with kits that missed on with CoS like general on Demigryph, which could be made with the kit.. just add in an effortless wars roll lol

    Things like general on warshrine etc.

    The old high elf archers are great for making middle eastern style troops. 

    I have a lot from a much older iteration of the project.

    I would currently need to find some alternative that’s a better match the scale & style of the direction I would like to take them.

    Though I am currently in a weird place of not feeling good about using Hallowheart.

    Flying eels seem reasonable to me. A leg chair is just absurd. 

    I agree, why doesn’t he just make himself have giant legs? 

    The bone construct thing is interesting because they all have different looks and theoretically they can construct whatever they want.

    But there seems to be no real reason why everything isn’t just 1) giant 2) have more arms.
