Carstein

Not sure if there’s much I can add to what’s already been said, so I’ll focus on my three favourite parts of last night’s show. Soulblight I’ve been playing Von Carsteins since 6th edition, and Vyrkos are exactly what I’ve wanted with my Von Carsteins. I love that bestial “straight outta folklore” Eastern European look. I can think of other things I’d rather have over another character, but I really like this model a lot. It hits the right notes for me, and she’ll definitely find a place in my army. Tzeentch My other army from 6th! Soulblight’s my main army for AoS, but I really want to do a little Tzeentchian warband for small games. These are exactly how I see Tzeentch, they’re perfect! Cities Straight outta Mordheim yo! These guys scream City of the Damned to me, and immediately brought back a lot of nostalgic and fond memories of playing Mordheim in high school.

Getting caught up with the last few pages, and now I’m getting pretty hyped to see next week’s reveals! I play SBGL, so fingers crossed on the new tome reveal, and hopefully some new toys, next week. However, Whitefang’s FEC hints are what I find most exciting! They’ve got great lore, and I would like to collect a small army. If they get some great new minis this year I might have to take the plunge.

Good grief, I was not expecting new Brets and TKs. I assumed they would just be re-releasing the old sets. Move over guys, there better be a spare seat on the hype train!

I’m curious about this too. As a SBGL player I can’t really think of a new character to add other than a mounted vampire lord or a new necromancer model. Though we could get something we’d never guess like a vampiric shaman that channels the wild magics of Shyish! I would rather have a new unit like the Vyrkos Blood-Born from Cursed City.

The Seraphon look incredible, especially the new Saurus. But as a Death player it’s the new vamps that I’m here for and they look great! The werewolf critter looks awesome, can’t wait to paint that guy. The vampires remind me of the Nagash’s throne room art in the Legions of Nagash book, where in the foreground we can see some (we assume they are) vampires in robes and carrying spears. I always thought that would be a pretty cool look for a unit of foot vampires so I’m glad to see it!

I don’t know how likely it is, but please let that last model be some sort of unit of foot vamps for SBGL, or a vamp warband for Warcry! Great to see Seraphon getting some new models too!

Oh my, those models are absolutely stunning. The knights and lord are giving me 6th edition Hordes of Chaos vibes, which is when I started to collect Chaos, so I'm very happy right now!

Oh wow, I'm really digging the red skull, changes the vibe of the model I think. It looks completely unhinged, which I guess it probably would be if Nagash "Frankensteined" a load of souls together and stuck them in an artifically created body!

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but I think the grinning faces on the infantry might be masks. Have a look at the catapult crew, from behind it looks like they're wearing masks over normal skulls. So maybe there're alternate heads without masks like the cavalry's in the box? I like the Bonereapers, they look pretty cool and far-out, the sort of whacky thing Nagash would do to pettily one-up Sigmar and his Stormcast. I'll definitely be picking some up to go with my Death collection. Colour scheme-wise, I'm thinking of painting them with some more metallic colours, especially on the faces if they are masks. I am looking forward to seeing the different colour schemes people come up with!

Does anyone remember that skeleton boatman that was revealed a while back? I wonder if he's one of the mercenaries you can hire, making me wonder if the mercenaries include various special characters, and not just troops from other Grand Alliances.
