Holy...Moly.....

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot there will be new Stormvermin!! After the Clanrats, I'm sure they're going to look menacing!

Valrak has his trusted source, and anything that has come from his trusted source has always been right. The only time he's been wrong, certainly as of late, is when he's shared rumours from whispers he doesn't trust, and he'll always say which source has stated the whisper.

You know if the rumours are true that the ranges are being split to track the sales of each system better... As much as I like any plastic kit or model being available to buy. In my opinion it's just bizarre to have 2 different kits for the same unit. Apart from nostalgia and if it's cost effective, I can't see any incentive to buy the old Night Goblin kit when we have the newer sculpts right there. It's not going to be a good insight into what system is selling more Night Goblin kits, because most people I assume will still buy the newer sculpts, and if they are cheaper, then people would buy the old kit just to use in AoS as well. Madness.

Was just tuning into Val's stream. There's a rumour that Chaos Dwarves were originally slated for the Old World, but ended up looking too similar to the new designs proposed for AoS, so the Old World focus was scrapped and was shifted towards AoS for their plastic release. Bizarre business decisions if true, but good for AoS I suppose? (A disappointing basis for releases imo).

There ain't no Balistae, and there never was!

'Ruinate! Ruinate!!' - Vandus Hammerhand exclaimed upon exiting the Halls of Reforging for the 700th time. It's sadly, all he says now.

Also I just had to go for a new profile picture with the recent rat boss man I've painted. So ready for Skaven again, yes-yes!

That 4chan leak may be the most 4chan leak I've ever read. It somehow got better the more you read. Ending with White Dwarf being scrapped, comedic precision.

They're the same picture, and I love it.

Do it! Yes-yes!

Holy moly I didn't realise they were that old! The majority of plastic Skaven have aged so well.

Honestly, I can't tell you how happy these make me. These sculpts are perfect, absolutely perfect, the paintjobs as well. Looking at the old Clanrats I really didn't know what to expect as I thought they were decent anyway, but seeing the facial features, the sculpting on the cloth and the character moulded into these guys. The poses, the little details that we never had before. They've understood what makes their aesthetic shine. The mix of chainmail, hoods, weapons. They look like a proper representation of their artwork. Honestly, these are perfect. I want a full army immediately. Skaven were the first army I collected when I was given my first White Dwarf because they reminded me of the Red wall books, pretty much the only literature I was interested in. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

It does make it feel better and opens up more options to being able to convert and kitbash more. Obviously as long as it remains clear what they are. No longer have to worry conversions as much.

Definitely. Such a shame all round. An absolute shame.
