I’ve painted mine in different schemes but with the same accent colours to lend a sense of disorganised unity. They are supposed to be a disordered rabble but I wanted to have something to tie them up together.

I'd love to paint a new dragonrider like this http://scrollmaster.net/dungeons-and-dragons-the-red-dragon-of-krynn-dragonlance-miniatures-from-ral-partha/

Superb. Works fantastically.

Wow - 150k p.a income. Hmm. Enough to live well and employ 2-3 others in the UK.

This means I will need x3 boxes …

I am going to get a whole load of these

Apoloiges for a noob question - do stormkeep armies loose the ability to deepstrike from the holy realm?

My guess is similar to a mega gargant

Offensive if true.

May be skinnier but I think the wingspan of the model is bigger. And the same base size as a Gargant? Not what I expected, I was assuming we would get a mounted smaller drake. That said, I do think they are amazing, and stack up well next to Dragons from other companies, i.e. WizKids and Mantic. In fact, I suspect GW just wanted to make THE dragon kit, something that has been missing from their warhammer line for a long time (although they did ace it with Smaug). Wonder if generic younger ones will follow, given how the Sepharon are raising an army of them in a pocket dimension .,..

Combine it with a nemesis system and it would be amazing

Indeed - seperate license

I wonder if this will mean a pragmatic rules change tbh.

All three are 'live' IPs anyway, Middle Earth is still hot, and AOS is the 4th biggest mini game out there. Old school fantasy is alive and well in video games and books. Brining back on tabletop meaningfully might incite some AOS players to try it, 40k and ME players to tr it and lapsed players injoying the video games to come back. There was plenty of room for 30k models in 40k players collections. I think its about selling more minis tbh.

Could you go for square and use these to convert and swap between rules? Maybe magnetise? Or maybe round bases in a square move tray …

Looks like this is a rules refresh initially, then newer resin releases from FW down the line, likely Kislev and Cathay up first. You can bring in models from AOS where they fit (which is still about 50% of it!). I suspect we will see Resin upgrade spruces for the old imperial plastic kits early on, unless those kits get remade for an AOS / TOW dual release with differing head and weapon options .... Sensible moves all around.

New Vulture is amazing, mild preference for the boss build as the horned helmet on the vulture is totally crackers.

Looking at the new core book there is a lot of talk of Clan Eshin bring based in the realm of Shadows. I wonder if we will see Umbraneth Aelfs vs Skaven in 2022?

Maybe x2 megagargants on the cake? Congrats to the king.

I do like the medieval conversions out there, but personally I love the StormCast death mask and find normal knights a bit too close to reality for me for my immortal lightning riding heroes, but I really love the bonkers side of AOS. Otherwise they tend to look like generic WOW / Warmachine paladins. I suspect we will see a new chamber one day with a different take, as with Grey Knights changing armour from standard marines over the years. Back to rumors, I am hungry for more. Am expecting Stormcast dragon hero and some form of cav and swamp wyvern and possibly wolf riders for cruel boys around the release of the battletomes. My birthday is next month and I'd really like the stormcast charriot, when do we think it will be out for pre-order?

Unless they release old moulds as made to order this is doubtful as GW never sell just a game system, they make money of figures. I still wonder if it will be 15mm tbh

They did this with the first boxed set so its very possible. I think SC boxes may morph into something like combat patrols though.

Other than Daemons the line is going away.

Where was this? Sounds ace

Book was released alongside the box set, stopped scalpers.
