    Oh yeah, I'm in now and you're right. Spacecast Eternals scouts in the killteam box.

    Also a bunch of nids from the launch, now available as individual units.

    And more importantly (for me) the new Scorpions :D

    A slice of fried truth, right there. I'd trade a limb for a generic mounted Hedonites hero. 

    Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated by all other Hedonites players :D

    I've read that the pose is like a Wardancer one, that doesn't seem to be a cavalry one. I can get that feeling if we only look at the foot, but the way the leg is bend makes me feel it is a classic rider post. If that's the case imo this hint towards S2D rather than Kurnothi.

    The trousers do seem more reminiscent of Qulathis than Darkoath imo, the toe section seems daintier than Darkoath boots, and the apparent colour scheme looks closer to Qulathis imo, though that may be hopium

    Yeah I saw this as a leaping pose.

    Maybe a Kurnothi update of a wardancer mid jeté. 


    I love that it is hard to determine between Darkoath and Kurnoth as either one makes me happy. I feel like Kurnothi Wardancers would make the most epic Warcry/Underworlds Warband.

    Oh not the dreaded Tripple Post, Mods save me!

    Kurnothi Wardancers seem like they could be a perfect fit for Warcry :D

    New rumor:

    3f9f14f0-9e9d-4f12-849c-3990db24a21d.jpg.4ef0d6af8ef954fa73d2e034a8ae981a.jpg

    As with all unnamed rumour mongers, this is most likely a fake. Still, it remains possible - if so, could it really be OBR? Part of me wonders more about a gang of rogue/piratical KOverlords or something - "grave robbers" doesn't sound like any kind of GA Death warband imo.

    Are all the clues for a single model or unit that will be revealed on Christmas or they are simply 24 RE concatenated?

    Last time they did an advent engine, it was for a battlebox (the 40k eldar vs chaos one) - I imagine it would be like that again

    Also last time, it was a springtime battlebox as opposed to a summer release, so I imagine it would be before AoS4. Whether it's a 40k battlebox again (I could see those feathers being for a kroot pech'ra) or an AoS army box for a new faction, who can say

    If you take all the new kits  and add the old ones except the Vargulf, you get 27 warscrolls so it's safe to assume all the characters made from units are staying. 

    Not necessarily, they could still have some models they've kept back for the full release

    I think Marshall on foot and at least 10 steelhelms are mandatory. It is the base of every classic army and steelhelms are the only human battleline on their own if i remember well. 

    Marshall on foot is the most basic hero of the new wave. 

    I will not be surprised if we don't see fusiliers in the box as they better sell them in standalone boxes as their rules are OP. A canon could be a good choice to have a "centerpiece". 

    I'm a bit afraid about a mix between old and new minis in the box

    It would seem logical to structure the vanguard box around the special formation: a unit of fusiliers, a Cannon, a fusil-major and perhaps a unit of steelhelms (though that may be too much?)

    I am not a fan of clear plastic. Only on a few way too expensive pvc figurines have i seen it done well. I think it just looks cheap most of the time compared to a painted mini. Just look at most toys using clear plastic for flames or similar effects. Its a hard sell for me. But i guess i can just still use a primer and paint it, nothing lost here.

    I'm pretty sure they mentioned the old (opaque) ones would still be on sale

    This is the point I was making. If a Mortarch describes them as a type of being rather than a title given by Nagash, then it doesn't matter what Ushoran does. He will still be a mortarch even if he is in full rebellion against Nagash. 

    I'm thinking along these lines myself. Perhaps the making of a mortarch is irrevocable, and Ushoran has been kept imprisoned (rather than permadeaded) while nagash is finding a way to retrieve that portion of himself?

    Metal models are awesome! The weight made certainly made me feel better about the price lol.

    I won't argue with the tactile experience of metal models, but compared to modern plastics they're horrendous - just been putting together an Isengard army with metal Lurtz and the Siege ram and man is it a horrible experience - mold lines so deep you have to gouge out or fill with putty .5mm deep, little burrs and pour lines that are in really obvious places and make them uncomfortable to pick up before they've been filed down. The Siege ram operators straight up won't stick to the log because the contact points are so borked, so going to have to break out more milliput... all the while the detailing just isn't up to snuff compared to today's models

    So the release schedule, according to rumours would be:

    18/11 - BFs.
    02/12 - 40 Codex
    16/12 - Imperialis

    Always considering that they don't change this 2 weeks preorder thingy and that December doesn't have some sort of weird hiccup.

    Any news for KT release?

    Decoupling SBGL and FEC is pretty tricky because the terrorgheist alone builds

    -(Royal) Terrorgheist 

    -(Royal) Zombie Dragon

    -Ghoul King on Terrorgheist/Zombie Dragon

    -Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon/Prince Vordhrai

    Six units! One of them is a named character!

    If GW updates it for FEC, and keeps their options, what happens if they don't add the vampire ones? Do they keep the old kit? Do they lose access to those units entirely? Do they get their own zombie dragon model? You could ask the same thing about Vargheists.

    They could update them as they are, but I can't think of a single modern AoS kit that has that level of modularity or, as others have said, cross-faction compatibility. One option I see is FEC getting a new terrorgheist with ghoul king, and the vampires getting a new zombie dragon and lord/Vhordrai. Crypt Horrors/Flayers and Vargheists get bespoke kits.  Or FEC gets updated models with slightly different names while SBGL keeps the old ones until their own update. Maybe GW doesn't touch any of them.

    We saw Morghasts and Arkhan dropped from Legions of Nagash when they became SBGL so I think GW is working toward each Death army having unique models but maybe they don't care this time. I don't know why I'm trying to predict this when I've been wrong just about every time. In fact, I could just delete this before I post it but I've spent ten minutes of my life thinking about tiny plastic vampire guys and all of you will just have to deal with it.

    One option (however unlikely) for them to update that kit is to take advantage of the upcoming Death-centric DBringer book to release three new kits in parallel, one for each of the death factions in question.

    We already suspect that OBR will likely be in the same book as FEC, doesn't seem a stretch to also include SBGL. What's less certain is their willingness to release two big kits at the same time as the big FEC release, but they were able to put out Belthanos and Ionus together, so not impossible.
