nah.. yer aireet. I denee think I'll be stumping up fer this one. The financial report mentioned exciting releases... unless there's the oop khorne dragon in plastic I think I'll not be holding my breath. I guess I might as well start cracking open the stormvault to the realm of Statis celophanum that resides in the corner of my hobby room.

Will these do?

honestly I'd use the one in the link. I've got two of the FW mammoths and the one in that link is all of the awesome, they've done a nice job on that.

she's a certainty and will probably be exactly the same silhouette as Sigmarvalkia with obvious design tweaks. Now they could make up for all the upset by either bringing back the khorne dragon for me to buy or alternatively just remake him in plastic for me to buy. I'll settle for either, I'm not proud - however plastic means he'll stick around in the rules at least. Til then I'll be going into hibernation, so give me a nudge in a year when it all starts to wake up again. Much appreciated.

Although those possessed cultists would make amazing generic daemons is a legions of the first prince army.

@Maogrim ignore everything I said and go with these two - they clearly know best. original post deleted.

Er... those humans might think they're followers but the true children of hashut know that they are nothing more than willing slave cannon fodder... or allies as we like to refer to them in the Zhar. That boy is a thaang of beauty in all his tri limbed glory. And Unlike the beastman who thinks he's a destruction guy, this guy doesn't have silly pointy oot teeth.

@Maogrim And I quote: (Cannon fodder slave) "followers of the god Hashut venture out in front of his all-conquering legions, seeking lands worthy of domination. They’re the vanguard of devastation and despair in a brutal machinery of endless war… and they have some very impressive hats." I shall repeat once more... More-grim of the pointy ears... IMPRESSIVE HATS. And... a tease at some massively tasty sausages and marshmallows going by that fork. A pig stikker that an orruk would be proud of. IMPRESSIVE HATS I TELL THEE

mate it was a mediocre release. We got some scraps from the table - only eco terrorist elves got a birthday. It was alright, but not magnificent and in truth it was some bits to just say we weren't left out. I get it, 40k/heresy is the biggy this year and sure we're getting some new slaves at the end of the year, but all in all it was a "mmm...(long pause)... nice cup of tea..." set of reveals. For the rats I was hoping that they'd see the end of their finecast / metal lines at the very least, that would have been nice for them. Instead the poor flea ridden stinky backstabbing budget chaos god blighters got here's your book, here's your rat model, now off you go. Sorry to say but in the words of my aussie mate, it was alright, but overall yea/nah.

If they wanted to put mortal back into the mortal realms they should have brought back brets - just sayin. Anyhoo, I'm hoping that the biggest thing in the GHB is the size so I got half a chance at reading it, otherwise it's no Daark banana in the till this year either. Ogroids look good, my hope is that they'll be as big and bulky as a bullgor, so I can transplant the heads from the bulls onto them and have some less derpy looking minotaurs. Anyway, I'm still waiting for my big khorne marked doombull that allws me to make bullgors blades of khorne battle line - just saying GW. Pointy ears seem to be the biggest winners so far, and I do feel sorry for rats - I don't play them but I'd really hoped for more for them, especially as they're such a pivotal GW race. Anyway, two more days to go, I wonder what 40k and heresy stuff we'll see get dropped by the ton which we can take advantage of and convert to our needs? Do stormcast have a beakycast chamber?

so he's the largest of the breed, so what sort of size do you think they'd be if we did get them?

I agree with you. Given the depth of this leak I'm guessing it's tactical. For a release that is end of year they won't have seeded sample books out into the wild just yet, because it's around now you'd be looking at doing final sign off and sending them to print for the first proofs. Which makes the picture we're looking probably a studio copy. Which makes the leaks from someone inside the mothership. S2D tanked last release, there wasn't the reception that had been hoped for, and so this is a hype builder. there's many factions that won't need more than a few weeks build up , but sales figures probably suggest that slaves aren't moving as well as they'd expected - and by that I mean that the know there is a BIG follower base out there, which should have corresponded in big sales, and also lots of positive buzz on the interweb, and although that may have been the case, it wasn't as much as hoped for. In truth, what did we get? a start collecting box and a few extra bits but nothing that made us go wow. So, my gut feeling is that there is a high investment gone into this release, and with it they need the hype behind it to make sure all those new models shift.

Corrected for you, no charge, you have a nice day now

Those new ogroid thermidors look proper tasty. These two threads might get given the kiss of life at this rate!

look at them as the meat tenderiser so that their masters get a forward look at what the enemy have got. After all, as any chaos dwarf knows, they're not dwarf so really not of any importance, and humans, although intelligent have got the toughness of an elf.

Humans innit. always trying to be something else. Do your lot prototype their helmets with inflatable party balloons to get the shape?

@Maogrim Now that's how you do a big hat properly. Look and learn ya flappy eared stretch necks. look and Learn. Like your lot, as you can see, humans look er ..um.. up to the might of Hashut, however unlike your lot we don't need floating polyhedral dice to brainwash them. We're much more honest... you're in or you're toast - very well burnt toast, we don't do anything but well done, and as you will observe, not a voluminous pantaloon or massive trooser in sight.

we are built to endure and to enjoy a long wait. At this rate I might even resurrect my old slaves and chaos dwarf painting threads from the Infernal ashes of time. (see what I did there)

yes, exactly this. They have mechanicum level of cool constructs but of their own making.

I hope so too, or perhaps this is where the automata come in, machines to plug the gaps that they physically fall down on. i just hope they don’t become 50’s sci-fi B movie looky likees.

I’d like the league to be a heavy faction if that makes sense. I can see them with the assault drill Transporters and men or iron and automatons that are solid and imposing, im thinking thanatar level imposing and just as cool looking. I don’t see them as a big number of boots wafty flighty delicate army, but I see them with near deathguard hard as nails toughness and resilience. Thats how I saw the mechanicum of 30k at its core. However the league has advanced enlightened reasoning and solidity on its side free from rituals and doctrines where you spend an hour chanting just to flick the on switch. I suppose I’d like them to be quite elite rather than swarming chaff and distraction units.
