  1. As the ol' saying goes Eat the Lord-Magnates I am really looking forward to getting Ionus Cryptborn to lead my Stormcast. I want a unit of Dracoth Guard as I really like their models and I have Vandus. Getting a unit of ground and sky cavalry would really fill out my Stormcast.
  2. Ah thank you, I must have just mixed up the Slann for Kroak as so many boxes lately have emphasized named characters. Still an interesting box. Still hopeful that the Tomking toad makes it into the box. I am a little sad that I have no need for more Chaos Knights or Chaos Warriors. Not battleforce for me this year... which is good cause I have a backlog to get to and a new Stormcast dragon piquing my interests.
  3. Wasn't there a mention of Kroak in the Seraphon box, or was that just speculation here?
  4. I am eagerly anticipating 4th edition, I have loved the era of beasts but I am more excited to see what some sneaky rats are doing across the realms, and getting a bit more insight on Ulgu and Slaanesh's continuing machinations. Still hope that Morghur gets his tendrils and claws out by the end of this current narrative and fights the Orruks and Stormcast. I have loved 10th edition 40k despite its balance issues it is more fun for me on a pick up and narrative level. Narratively, I am most excited to see Chamon after Be'Lakor's breaking of the gates and the Duardin response to Chaos and Demonic forces. Mgiht be a great setting for introducing some followers of Hashut. But even if we focus solely on Ulgu, lets give Kharadron and Fyreslayers that Lumineth, and Sylvaneth attention! Kind of love the idea of Grombrindal or Grungni getting a cool heroic model next edition that will contrast against Malerion's shadowy form.
  5. I will probably feel the same if I ever actually run it, I am childish when it comes to rules and if the concept is there it will take me a while before I realize how it is poorly executed.
  6. It is funny that you saw this in competitive terms whereas I was like awesome Sarlacc pit causing Earthquakes is so fun.
  7. I am now wondering if we get Chaos Votann what will the ironkin look like? Then I thought how mad would people be if Chaos Votann got released before Chorfs.
  8. Not sure if this appropriate to ask here, but I got the Slaves to Darkness army box in a trade but it came without building instructions. Is there a place online that I can find the building instructions for Ogroids, Demon Prince and Chosen? I am really excited as this really fleshes out my collection but puts my army at 4000+ points... so hopefully we get an apocalypse style game for AOS.
  9. Yeah lots of stuff I have had to skip for price reasons. I am hoping to get the Cryptborn’s Stormwing box as the slight discount is likely the only way I will get him and a stormdrake guard set. 😰 Inflation + expenses = less money for hobby.
  10. This is cooler than the 40k and kill team reveals from Warhammer Day.
  11. It could be, although Kragnos is tied very closely to the Kruelboyz narratively as they use his image in their iconography. So it would likely be something like that, which would feel like a change from the perception of what we expect from that character. Now I am hoping for a female rat in traditional chaos armour.
  12. I think that you are right about Skaven as Illuminor Szeras proceeded Necrons, Kragnos proceeded Kruelboyz, and the Parasite of Mortrex proceeded Tyranids. Now we just need Cluny the Scourge to proceed Skaven.
  13. Don't forget Slambo's hunt for the Snipe, Karios Fateweaver promised a great boon if he catches it. We all know how trust worthy two headed bird demons can be. Also explaining why the best character has been noticeably absent in the narrative.
  14. In all fairness space marines chaplains look like they would work better as monastic paladins in a fantasy setting. On space marines news I finally traded my space marines and got Be'lakor and the Slaves to Darkness army box alongside some other chaos goodies. I also found those space marines a good home, as I was likely going to kit bash them into Chaos space marines.
  15. Loved the preview but still had hoped for more new units for AOS. I still think the fantasy side of GW's IPs had the better reveal overall. I am getting both more excited and more frustrated with each piece of Old World news which seems on brand and AOS continues to have the best sculpts of any minis. 40k: Stormlord, a lovely model and as a new Necron player I am happy a cool character is getting a neat model, but I am fine skipping it as I have enough lords. The rules previewed for the new book seem pretty fun. Admech, what a silly and pointless looking model… which is so perfect for the utter bizarre technology implemented by the Admech. Love this weirdo and think it will look great peaking over troops and scenery. AOS: Stormcast: Ionus Cryptborn, holy hell that is sweet! I might go for this box, if I ever see it! I can’t afford the big dragons and so this might become the dragon for my Stormcast. I was planning on holding off on SCE until the next edition but this set is too good. It would make for a good boss for any tabletop rpg. Was not expecting Stormcast to win the day with a new reveal. Sylvaneth: Belthanos, a cool model and great to get a Kurnoth hero but I am a touch sad that it isn’t Kurnoth himself and that it is just a single hero. Still pretty cool but was hoping for some more units. Still can’t wait to see different schemes on the bug. Kill Team: Striking Scorpions: I feel like if these were painted as the typical Eldar Warrior I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Still nice Sculpts overall and I like the poses. Scouts: I think they look okay, the less armour does make them stand out compared to the rest. Terrain: Really like it and it seems like it will lead to fun dynamic play after a year of abandoned derelict spaceships. Might even be useable for AOS as they are mostly just platforms with a few sci-fi gribblies. Old World: 2024!!! Okay I am all in on the nostalgia here what great sculpts and I have always had a soft spot for Bretonnia. I am not a fan of Resin so it was nerve wracking listening to each reveal. Pegasus - Fantastic love the different builds and jokes about leaks. Knights of the Realm - Fun but who wants a knight on foot when you can have them on a winged pony! But in all honesty the sculpts are amazing and I love that they essentially acknowledged that they can be used to help upgrade the classic mounted kit. Returning Kits: Still look nice but will seem dated next to the new sculpts. Still love the Men-At-Arms sculpt they were always my favourite baseline human infantry in fantasy. Resin kits: All my favourite Bretonnian kits seem to be leaning towards the resin side unfortunately. The Handmadien is great and regal I imagine her popping up in Living Cities armies. Overall: Loved the reveals and I am really anticipating what is next for AOS as we move towards 4th edition.
  16. I want the Avatar of Grimnir to be a large and epic fiery spirit that contains his might, but having his personality and essence living on through Gotrek creating a schism between the Fyreslayer society. The Avatar resembling his appearance in this amazing work but at a more modest but still impressive scale. The ultra orthodox naked Duardin, and the untraditional Dwarves rocking blue jeans.
  17. I was thinking how sad I would be if Kurnoth only got one hero and then I realized, how cool would it be if the Sylvanth/Kurnothi hit the ground running and we get Kurnoth in a box with Kurnoth hunters. Setting up the release of the Kurnothi as a sub faction for next edition. Then for the final book we get Morghur as the big bad and set up Beats of Chaos for the following edition. Like everyone else I would much prefer a new unit, but I will say that Trugg and big pig were a lot cooler than the many infantry heroes we have been getting.
  18. I hope that one day GW just releases Silent people with a full range and rules with literally no announcements. Just shadow drop them and make them the new meta.
  19. As a huge fan of Chaos I have to say the reveals that often excite me the most have the least to do with my army. I loved seeing all the cool dinosaurs and cities models. I cannot help but be excited to see Flesh Eater courts get their due and I am really pumped about the thought of seeing Knights in Shining Flesh wielding Excalfemur go up against my recently Purchased Chosen. Part of why I love the hobby is due to the various varied factions that make it so fun to play and develop narratives around. If we get a Lady of Ruin model for Slaves to Darkness that evokes the undivided champions of yore I will be extremely excited, but if the entire reveal is just the Flesh Eater Kit that leaked and the Bretonian Pegasus I will still be fairly excited to see them painted and posed. The best part is with the ongoing narrative and the upcoming rework of Tomb Kings we now that we will at least get more than those two reveals.
  20. Wanted to limit myself to classical music, but I am not the most well versed on the subject. As such some of these choices are: painfully clichéd, silly, related to a specific subfaction, or use composers with problematic reputations. I feel like someone else could make a better list but this is a fun start. Chaos: Beasts of Chaos Blades of Khorne Disciples of Tzeentch Hedonites of Slaanesh Maggotkin of Nurgle Skaven Slaves to Darkness Death: Flesh Eater Courts Nighthaunt Ossiarch Bonereapers Soulblight Gravelords Destruction: Gloomspite Gitz Ogor Mawtribes Orruk Warclans Sons of Behemat Order: Cities of Sigmar Daughters of Khaine Fyreslayers Idoneth Deepkin Kharadron Overlords Lumineth Realm-lords Seraphon Stormcast Eternals Sylvaneth Bonus: Silent People Would love if people used more of the public domain works in their batreps, but I know that it can get complicated with specific recordings and record companies auto flagging classical works due to these recordings. Still could help make some batreps stand out.
  21. I am still holding out hope we get one iconic champion for each God and that they get the S2D keyword so we can show the Stormcast a Storm of Chaos. I feel like Valkia is the only Khorne model that is capable of standing side by side with Sigvald. If we can get an updated AOS model in the scale and style of Sigvald that can lead a Slaves to Darkness Army I will gladly get them all and build a themed list for each mark. I know it is silly and I know that more original characters is best for the system. Still I think giving Archaon some Lieutenants from each monogod faction will sow discord amongst the worshippers of Chaos. Plus as the ostensible winners of WHFB having some boss level Chaos Champions will give the forces of Death, Destruction and Order the chance to show how far they have come in defeating these heroes of another world.
  22. Okay team please repost this on every forum until collective action makes it real!
  23. Wow it is such a beautiful sculpt I am worried how much these awesome updated molds will look next to some of the older kits of the Old World. Tomb Kings especially will have a disconnect between modern and classic aesthetics as the skeletons proportions are a lot harder to ignore than a heavily armoured knight.
  24. Soulblight have a raven chewing on a Direwolf, and on some Cursed city models.
  25. I need to get proper boxes for my armies. Like my Choas Warshrine only gets played at home as I don't have anything that can accommodate that stupid thing. I clearly need to get a proper drill to magnetize some of my bigger models. Currently my Frostlord and Huskards are riding with blue tack and prayer.
