With some difficulty I imagine.
It is one of the helmets where the is a slit down the front, so perhaps it just about fits, otherwise I’ll just go with “Chaos did it.”
Mouth where his left eyesocket should be? 😜

Looking great, but how does the halberd musician blow his horn? 🤨

You've got 25 points left over. Even though he'll almost defiantly be leading from behind, there's no harm in getting the BSB heavy armour and a Charmed/Enchanted Shield?

In the seventh edition, new plastic chaos knights came out, replacing the new chaos knights that came out in the sixth edition.
Besides, they were much larger and against armies like Bretonnia the scale was ridiculous and still is.
Reading comments I wondered how long some have been in Warhammer or how little they know GW.
I'm all for gassing about scale creep, but...
CHAOS MAKES YOU BIG
The 6th ed Brian Nelson sculpts you're talking about, while timeless and imo much better sculpts than the plastic knights that followed, were if anything slightly smaller than they should have been, and distinctly pin headed to look at, likely owing to the fact they came on (already quite venerable, even back then) plastic Empire horses. Even the Plastic Chaos Warrior kit that came out a couple of years later with Storm of Chaos, and took every design cue going from the 6th ed Knights were way, way larger in every respect.

I sure do love coming to this thread for news of potential upcoming TOW releases 😬

Nice to see he fits on a 25, that's one heck of an Oathstone/tactical rock
Unbreakable on any unit seems a bit strong, even at 500 points. Maybe give him an exception and allow him to remain Unbreakable/stay in combat while the unit he's with flees around him?

Old fluff seems to imply the events of his brewery were quite old. They didn't give dates in later mentions in the last editions of Battle. So it's entirely possible, given dwarves live for centuries.
Bugman was explicitly delivering Special Brew to the Emperor when his brewery got wrecked. Given that the Empire's not had an Emperor for 700+ years by TOW, that would make him very old, like Kragg the Grim old.
I've already posted about the possibility of Bugman (or his dad, Zamnil/Samuel) showing up in a fresh guise in TOW as a successful surface merchant lord in TOW, which feels appropriate if they've still got a delivery cart. Most of it's in the special character speculation thread

The setting is about the same time as Araloth slayed Morghur in the Forest of Arden, so could potentially see Araloth as a Wood Elf character?
I didn't include too many individual named elves because
I despise the beardless oathbreakersthere are barely any elf special characters from WFB who weren't alive 200 years prior, and I chose to focus on characters who might be suitably different to their later selves like Tyrion and Teclis, and ones who might have a reason for being around like Aislinn. Araloth's a great shout, I'll stick him on the list. Thanks! -

I profess to love Dwarfs, but this is the first box of models I instinctively reached for and wandered out of a GW store with as a small child:

So, I have a tournament on june 2: 1500p, 3 units max repeated. Legends/armies of infamy allowed.
Anyone has a good list for fun? I'm a big fan of armies of infamy, but not sure if I can paint 80-120 slayers without going insane (already tires after paiting 16 quarrellers and 12 thunderers and it's so boring).
I've not re-rebased my models or played a single game of TOW yet because I'm
snowed under with worklazy, but Gyrocopters are a solid bet, not just for the obvious firepower, but also because dwarfs really struggle to pursue and catch things, which is kind of important if the tournament's scoring on victory points.Units of five Irondrakes with a Trollhammer Torpedo in each also give you way more bang for your buck and durability than warmachines, which makes me sad, because I have a lot of painted warmachines, and can't find any Irondrake models that fit in with my old metal army.

Embarrassed to have missed Ghorros Warhoof, thanks again @Jator
Is there anyone else obvious I've overlooked?

Ghorros Warhoof is totally alive and kicking (and drinking, and...) during this time. A plastic kit that let you build him or a generic centigor chieftain would be nice.
I'm like the Chaos Gods, or GW themselves in that I sometimes need reminding Beastmen exist, and had forgotten they even had special characters outside of Khazrak, Morghur and Gorthor (or even had a 7th ed army book...). Exhumed my Beastman army book out of a very dusty box, and Ghorros is indeed quite old, I'll add him to the Special Character Bingo OP right away!

Nope, but according to the book on my lap 'His unnaturally long life has spanned many centauries', and 'many' is more than two, so he's fair game to show up 👍

New WD model is neat.
Personally I'm just glad he's wearing proper shoes, not these krutawful, uncomfortable looking things

Not sure why they aren't giving him TOW legends rules (actually I know exactly why).
The distinct Kharadron and Fyreslayer accessories on his belt, and round base with a Kruelboyz shield on it? 🤓

I’m hoping for 5th edition metal beastmen. They are some of the best models, but very hard to get nowadays (and I sold mine for cheap back in the day).
Special love for the original metal ungor. They're so miserable and weedy looking in a way the bigger, buffer plastics never managed to quite capture
My money's on the 6th ed Pestigor and Khorgor coming back, if only as made to order

Alex Hedstrom!
Perry Beastmen would have had way smaller weapons, human proportions and straight up goat faces, not monstrous ones with a dash of stretched human in.
The Perrys did the 4th edition beastmen, and most of the 5th edition ones when they became a bespoke army for the first time (including the brilliantly scrawny, miserable looking original Ungor)
