...wondered why the post count spiked in here. @The Red King feel you bro, this sucks big time. I get why some ranges / models are being pulled (as they will get updates), but anyone genuinely thinking BoC and Bonesplitterz will be AoSified at this point is delusional. Even for the new lines or 1st -2nd edition stormcast, must be a huge kick in the teeth. Am I right in thinking that all these Warcry models will now no longer be in production (I care less about them being in AoS or not). Because if that's the case, then that is really throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and would hurt two systems instead of one. In either case, not much for me on the forum now. peace.

+2 on that

Looks like stormcasts aesthetics and flagellant weapons merged together.

I actually DM'd them with the intention on asking the same (think they may have thought I was trying to figure out their identity lol). But I guess the writing is on the wall, considering the reacts and rumours that have been reacted to.

This is Fellgor Ravagers level of taunt. On the plus side, your Skaven release is 3 rats, vs. one Hero and a time. Feel lucky @Garrac

Kind of looks like Valkia's shield (from the side), just updated.

I would doubt that they 'turn into' the new BoC. Having horns, and mentioning beasts is likely a coincidence. If, however, that GW squatted beasts, then brought in the Silent People, I personally would be very baffled.

Similarly, I am a 'believe it when I see it' type person. I'd rather not build up hype for myself, only to be let down.

Great point. I just called them up and reserved a few, but they said you can buy a fair few (subject to availability). I wouldn't wanna go overboard though, just in case I get a few weird looks. For anyone interested, they are available until Sunday, then they will be stopping the sell of them.

was going to head up to Nottingham this weekend to grab a couple for myself. Do they limit what you buy from WHW?

Feel ya, mate. I am definitely continuing with all my BoC conversions, and tbh the Darkoath has me pumped to try out warcry now, but being in limbo sucks. I don't wanna get heavily into AoS (with BoC, which would be the only one I'd happily sink 2000pts into), because I: A. cannot justify buying models that were out when I was a teenager and B. know they'll likely get axed lol. (with all that being said. that Wilderfiend is getting converted to no end...amazing sculpt)

After seeing these reveals, the Darkoath to me look fantastic. Definitely will grab for some skirmish games for sure (might actually start Warcry). But I do agree with @The Red King. I think this is where the BoC aesthetic is being channelled. If what you're saying is true, and they aren't canning BoC (I still think they will), then I'd then make the assumption that AoSified units will look more similar to that thing we saw leak than anything else, maybe dialled up a notch to be more...chaotic.

Coming back to check in rumours. Any new news on BoC. Are we being squatted into ToW? or getting any range refresh/AoSification at any point? Not holding my breath on them getting anything this side of the millennium, but good to ask..

Now all we need is a BoC emoji to show us we are getting love, for the trifecta #stillsmokingmycopium

This for BoC. Just have any sort of dynamism in the sculpts, to reflect the raiding / hit and run, or lean into the twisted mutation aspect. Instead we have what (to me) feels like t-posing Gor and Bestigor coordinating axes. Forever waiting for Skaven and BoC lol.

I have longed for BoC and CoS to get refreshes. CoS Absolutely nailed it. guess it's time to open the wallet up.

Perhaps they are the same? idk I haven't followed the Seraphon release as much (so have no idea on the tail shape)

Must admit, mate. Followed you for the longest time. Amazing sculpting. Would love to learn from ya.

Love the positive energy, but it is what it is dawg. I all seriousness though, it's all good, can finally get in CoS....models for Mordheim

@Whitefang can you just lie to me and say BoC are getting a line refresh? let me start my weekend with a smile.

I usually impart my negativity on BoC and Skaven's model treatment (or lack thereof). But this. This is fantastic news. Love that. Hopefully this then expands to being able to send plastic over as well.

From what I remember a lot of the sprues are from 7ED WHFB. See below (Sourced from Collector-Info and the citadel 2010 catalogue): - Bestigors, Gors and Ungors were updated and released in 2010. - Beastmen Chariot = Somewhere around 2005 (then repacked 2012) - Chaos Spawns = Somewhere before 2008 - Beastmen Minotaurs = I believe 2011 - Centigors = 2006 (then repacked 2012) - Doombull = 2012 - Razorgor = 2012 - Chaos Warhounds = 2008 - Cygor / Ghorgon = 2011 - Jabberslythe = 2012 These are directional, but I can remember (as a kid) when Gors and Ungors were the same sprue, but then they expanded it (around 2006 I believe. Most of the line are about 10-15 years old, so you would *hope* that the lines get refreshed. But I wouldn't expect them being refreshed for a few years at least at this point...

I stopped playing AoS completely, because to me (even though I sit more on the modelling / painting side than playing), even though the rules for BoC are solid, I cannot justify using models that I bought when I was a child (at the price point that GW wants). If GW were to create more thematic, dynamic models (like Blood Bowl), and not static WFB models, I would be right back again (regardless of how they played on the table top). Ultimately I want to enjoy looking at the creations I have made. When you compare that to the vast majority of other lines in AoS, it really puts things into perspective. Same for Skaven. I have always wanted to collect them, but the 50/50 mix of very cool modern models, and badly aged metal/finecast models puts me off completely. (I also get why they might not have updated, priorities, COVID etc. Just my two cents on IF they were updated, would I come back).

Quite honestly I wish they wouldn't use any 'Era of the ____' type phrasing. I remember (maybe 2018?), When people kicked up a stink about Orktober (when they released a lot of vehicles, but no Boyz refresh.... hindsight on that one). I think people have a tendancy to get way too overhyped, and then let down. (Unless you're a BoC or Skaven fan. I will be the one broken record in the back of the room).

So I want to have BoC Gors, Ungors and Bestigor that are more dynamic (I could ramble and grumble about no new unit models for BoC, but I actually want to do some hobby this side of the millennium). Ideally I would like to pose them running, attacking...just anything except a statue. I am really not a big fan of resin (as I do like the GW aesthetic), and much prefer to use GS and plastic. So, the question is - does anyone have examples of more dynamic BoC posing (pictures or links), or how you would go about posing models in a more dynamic fashion in general? I would like to think that I am pretty decent with GS/conversions , so happy to take relatively advanced tutorials. If there are also any pictures, I would love to see them. I am not looking to make many models (as I will primarily be playing Mordheim and other Skirmish games), so any singular models would also work. (currently thinking of buying some of the Blood Bowl Doom Lords from ebay, and hoping that they aren't huge in comparison).
