Painting, but lately using my models in RPGs has become a larger part. Not wargames per sé, but a good excuse to get more models nonetheless.

The spell lore of Greywater is also full of WWI vibes, which might interest you.

Does everything have to have mw on hit?

That "War of the Beard 2" won't get anywhere if we all start getting along!

A hard one. I have a few contenders: General on Griffin. Large, imposing and tons of options. Also has the warhammer in it. Greatswords. So many nice hats, different options and bits to help kit out just about everything. Detailing on par with much more recent kits. Relatively cheap at current GW prices. 25 mm. Arkanauts. Again lots of options, 10 dwarves with a decent amount of bodies. Love the spanner axes, helmet design and, well, just the whole vibe. Also 25mm bases, so useful for grid based rpg's. Thunderers. Lots of options, they feel very heavy and cool gun design. Endrinriggers. A lot more expensive than the two above per dwarf, but they are flying on a personal zeppelin. Thundriks profiteers. A taste of all the above with a Khemist for less than the price of a Khemist. Celestial Hurricanum. The fanciest horses, four wizards and a lot of just stuff. If you have one, you can make an awesome terrain piece with spares, or magnetize to switch it out. Briar queen. 25mm ghosts, and quite a few of them. Good designs, and their leader is just gorgeous and has wowed multiple d&d parties.

If you like space marines, the horus heresy is a good box. There is basically no distinction between the two sides, so if you give them the same paintjob you have an army. If you paint them in more slightly different colours, you can squeeze out a few more kill teams. The mech also looks nice. I could see myself getting some of the Chaos stuff recently previewed, maybe even those space marines, and the noise marine still looks really nice. I recently received a Knight rex box that I neither ordered nor paid for (instead of the €5 cardboard castles I ordered). The company I got it from is a pain to deal with, so I haven't gone through the effort of contacting them. If they don't contact me within the next month, I have the choice of selling it, or opening the box and see what the fuss is about.

The Snotling Blood Bowl team is great, but so are Necromunda gangs. Some warbands are also great to get a taste of the game. In perepherals, the "Skulls!" box is great value, which is rare for GW.

In this case, it's also Sylvaneth and a half. Skaven players are probably not as enthousiastic, though they are useful models.

I don't know enough about those, but the left robotic hand doesn't look dwarven to me. It all looks a bit too delicate.

I think it's Admech, not really the same design language.

Don't forget, you could also clean your Nurgle up! Give them all soap, scrubbers and towels and clean up the paintjobs. That's a big conversion project, but you will stand out.

It is an assumption I (and others) have, but I haven't heard anything that I'd consider a rumour.

Yeah, it's probably a model made in the original run and taken from the mothballs.

While I agree in principle, I also think a design effort is done in one go with some of the designs not going into production then and there. So all (for example) Kharadron and Fyreslayer models were done in the original wave, and now they are released piecemeal to release *something* until a new design effort is made. This explains why we don't see any lessons learned appear in new models (less stationary designs, any diversity etc). I don't think that's the case for something like Sylvaneth or Hedonites, which have/had bigger releases.

We mostly need factions skipping editions in rules and a 600 page rulebook to retrace the steps of Fantasy.

Oh I hope he replaces the lord Relictor in popularity. The Excorcist is a decent model Excorcist looks stoic, but able to move and his box on a stick has a function. Relictor might be the worst model of the last decade. Unwieldy skeleton on a stick, shoulderpads that would crush his head if he lifts his arms, spikes on those shoulders catching the spikes in his neck, goofy skullface and, last but not least, spikes on the inside of the knee. You'd constantly trip while moving, either by catching the other knee or the dickflap.

GW's book prices and printing amounts do not really excuse recycling art. Cost cutting isn't a better excuse.

The Saurus Guard look much rougher than the Drakespawn, they look like metal minis. If you know Cities players that use chariots, chances are they are not using the Drakespawn.

GW has many issues, the leak is hardly the first to tackle.

Pop an ogre head on the the older (chunkiest) chapters, and say these ogres expanded their gutplates a bit.

Skinks are cute, new Kroak looks good. Not that conviced by Saurus, especially the knights (get Drakespawn Knight), though that Start Collecting does have a nice dino.

Yeah, and I hate that. Freeguild and Ironweld are not described as fundamentalist. Disposessed and Kharadron are godless, and I like all those factions. GW apparently can't leave anything untainted by gods because they don't know how to write something else.

Putting them on webstore only was already closing the casket. It's just a result of GW planning obsolescence of Underworld warbands. Which is why I'll never use mine in that game. I should just throw the board and cards away. Price gauging makes sure I'm not going to buy them for the models again either.

That is fine and all, but it would take out a vast chunk of Cities, because I don't see GW put units in multiple armies to that degree. I also just don't like the idea that "regular humans" must be religious fanatics. Hell, I already stripped "of Sigmar" from the faction.

I'm afraid GW likes segregation a bit too much for that.
