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.

So with BoC being confirmed to be shifted over to Old World, do you think they'll get a decent refresh? Were there any rumours on their release? Guttered about their exit from AoS, but one of my favourite Fantasy armies. Can't wait to see them come back.

As disappointing it is to see BoC on that list. I'm more shocked by all the Warcry warbands. What was the point in collecting these? (Yes I know they're useable right now and represented something cool in the past). They were just so unique. Yes they don't really fit an overall theme, but this was a great chance to really diversify Chaos and it's different representations. It feels so weird to just ditch them. Especially Horns of Hashut. If of course they're going to be rolled into Chaos Duradin, but if not, what a bizarre unit to release with no context or wider implication and then just take away. Am I reading too much into that one?

Now this. This does put a smile on my face. That means a lot Whitefang, thank you!

I don't know whether to be sad or happy

There's an old Liverpool story when workers were digging the Williamson tunnels in which a team of workers thought they dug through to hell, when unknowingly to them, had been digging right above another team. When you're in total darkness underground through a period where there's probably a lot of spiritual superstition and belief, safe to say they absolutely grotted their pants when they dug a hole and saw figures on the other side staring at them. I'd love for the Duradin reveal to be a similar accident by the Skaven, just both digging tunnels and it turns into the Spiderman pointing meme, or they uncover some giant underground industry hellscape.

Chaos Duradin seething finding out Skaven beat them to making an apocalyptic underground explosion producing instant massed industry and having a bigger slave population.

King Brodd has gone back to sleep and so all the Sons of Behemet have decided to stroll off into the sunset. The Skaven were quickly vanquished once the cinematic trailer ended unfortunately. It's all Ogre.

Well that was amazing! I'm gonna need to see these Skaven!

Oooo good question!

I didn't know Nagash was chill like that. What a pose.
