    My dentures were forged by Grungni 'imself. You want no parts of your body anywhere near 'em, laddie.

    Note to mods: I've got me coat, no need for the dogs.

    My Slaaneshi acquaintance in the cubicle next to mine read my screen and she reaaaally wants to meet you now. Sorry. If you are truly desperate, it might work out ok I guess? 😫

    Someone's asking really hard to get their knees whacked.

    You know, it‘s tremendously practical that your face is already at the perfect „height“ (or should I say altitude as height is such an elusive thing to you) to kiss my feathery posterior! 🫦

    But the Horned Rat is a minor, tribal god of rat-people. Again, I don't like these god-level models at all, but his incarnation would not be out of place alongside the likes of Nagash or Teclis.

    Well, if a god got his own daemons, then he‘s too eldritch to appear on his own imo. But well, it‘s down to personal taste anyways. I just like that they are not directly represented. They are too far removed from let‘s say Greek gods to feel portrayable in that manner.

    Would it be weird getting a Chaos god model? That opens the door for the other gods as well...

    Yes! For the love of all that is unholy, NEVER release any Chaos god model. NEVER EVER! 🙏 If they want to show them outside of art, make a statue/terrain or whatever but no actual mini of any Chaos god. It just cheapens them and brings them down to a demigod level. I‘m very opinionated on this issue.  Chaos gods have no definite form and shape and they are unlike the mortal-turned-god gods in action, ability and behavior! (Not saying they are necessarily better here, just different). Kinda like the God-Emperor feels much different to say Sigmar. One you think you could go for a pint with, the other isn‘t really that close to a human.

    I fondly remember 5th Realm of Chaos. Just so much text, such creativity. Just the story of a knight fleeing into the realm of Chaos, slowly turning into a Chaos Champion. In small parts, scattered all over the book. 

    Good old Gotthard, IIRC. Funny fact: In Liber Chaotica: Tzeentch, they revealed that this particular knight became Aekold Helbrass!

    Don’t worry, if the star-vessel art & Warcry terrain that has an old one as a broken ship’s figure head are anything to go by those walkers would be Froggobot At-Ats and highly protectable. ;) 🐸

    Froggobot, I love it! 🥰😁

    This is no surprise, due to it's secretism every sector of Games Workshop works very independently from each other. Art, design, executives, game rules, social media management (Warcom)... everyone seems to work on their own way following just some mere guidelines towards X objectives

    Warcom workers most probably know nothing more than what the other teams are working on with 4-6 months of advance, most probably. I wouldnt be surprised if they were informed of miniatures reveals on their preview programs with just hours of anticipation.

    Asking something there falls under futile. They never give you any worthwhile answer.

    I agree. Although I do think part of the sales issue with the current set (ignoring Covid and general rules grumblings people have) is the name they chose. Dominion. That's not a word I associate with Fantasy unless it's like some dark horror daemon type thing. It's like a switch that just dials back the fun whenever I see it!

    As a non-native speaker, "Dominion" sounds just like a cool word to me; without any negative connotation as I've basically associate it with "cool" stuff and not historical events. The worst assocation I have is that it's the name of an old RTS (video) game that was hyped and then never delivered. 😂 I think it's difficult for any AoS starter set as SM will always sell but thankfully no faction dominates the sales in AoS like they do. So if you don't plan to play with either faction of the box, it makes little sense to buy it, even if the price is good. In our group, the more complex rules of AoS 3.0 didn't go down well but I figure that's just my friends and not a general thing.

    When you carefully check them you can understand why Withefang (or Valrak, cannot remember now) said the 4th ed box would blow our mind.

    I have no idea what hidden detail I might've missed but the sculpts and the paintjob are both impeccable... not every mini gets such a nice paintjob from GW. If the other skaven sculpts are as nice as these, then they will definitely be amongst the best-looking armies. I figure the new starter with upgraded SC and Skaven will sell pretty well.

  10. I can‘t imagine iconic units like plague monks won‘t return with a new kit. I mean, I can technically imagine it and they might think it‘s too close to Nurgle but it would be a real shame! 
     

    I‘m too lazy to play bingo but I‘m keeping my fingers crossed for all Skaven fans. The new edition will have to do right by them and a couple of other forces.

    I am gonna go with as long as the model is not another space marine its a good model. Sure they are a little boring, but its still a cool model that did not really need any changes.

    Also lets not forget this thing exists. Easily top pick for worse and somehow most boring model I have seen in a long time................ what is that belt feeding on a missile gun lol!!

    I dunno, it's hard to decide between these guys with comically huge weapons and models where one gal dances on top of a dude for me. But they certainly overshoot what updated Devastators should've been.

    Yeah, if I were a betting man this is what I'd place my wager on. Tyrion has to turn up at some point and he's thoroughly associated with sun imagery now, so I imagine they want to bring back phoenix-related stuff via his followers.

    To be fair, AoS-ified Phoenix Guard type models would potentially be awesome.

    Or not. 🥴

    This so much, BoC for me are the purest chaos and I want to see this in the models. They should be dark, twisted and secretive, so much that they make chaos god aligned factions think: "oof now that's a little much". They should be out in the woods conducting rituals that make no sense to bring about imcomprehensible dooms and omens. So much potential.

    I love the goat and bull looks, mostly as they bring to life the old Christian aesthetics of what pagan evil looks like, and the fear of what happens when you stray further from civilization. What I'm saying is I want the devil goat, Black Phillip, from the film "the Witch" in model form 🤣

    I‘d like them to go to that place you‘ve painted such a nice picture of and add some more abominations to them. BoC could be so cool if done right. While I find their basic kits quite good for their age, we all know that BoC could truly shine with a bit of love.

    This might be an unpopular opinion. I would love for BoC to distance themselves from the god specific designs, those could still have a home in the other tomes. I would love to see a version of beasts i dont ever want to encounter in the woods. Keep the goats and bulls and add things like bears (honey RE?), badgers, moose etc and throw it in the AoSification mill.

    Yeah, I'd also like them to be their own thing. More mutated, more variety. Give the semi-vanilla ones to the 4 Gods but make the true children of Chaos scary as FEC (😇)!
