Bit of a shame about the Knights. The new Warriors look cool and the mounted lord is excellent. The foot lords head looks weirdly small or the space around the head looks empty in some way.
It’s a shame (or more realistically, a relief) that the StD box has the Theridons in, as those models have not grown on me at all and will prevent me dropping money on the box.
I really like it, partly because it’s so unorthodox for Tzeentch models. The armour is really cool and blank masks like that are always a winner in my book.
The Twitter post for todays RE says ‘there’s somefin strange going on with this weeks rumour engine!’ Now I used to be the biggest proponent of the rumour engine text not meaning anything, but now I’m thinking probably fins rather than feathers.
It’s being done by Forge World, but that doesn’t mean as much as it once did - the specialist games team are part of forge world and they do quite a bit of plastic. There will almost certainly be some resin though
They won’t even give a release date when they preview the starter box or whatever the first release ends up being.
Excited to see what they’ve got for us though, nice to get some idea of what’s going on at this point.
There’s a difference between us all who are plugged into the rumours and the general release pattern having a pretty good idea that it’s coming next July and them announcing to everybody ‘hey you know that Imperial Guard and World Eaters codex that we’ve not officially announced yet? You’ll get 6 months use out of it. Enjoy!’ If anything, I could see some campaign books like Gathering Storm being shown to lead up to a new edition.
I’m getting Flesh Eater Courts from the bones, myself. I can see goblin like the example, but apart from a greenish clawed hand (that matches FEC too), the details are more bugs and shrooms for the gobbos.
I know why they’ve done it, I just don’t like that they’ve done it and don’t think it really works. It’s just annoying now because they’ve just shown 1, and then annoying later when they later ‘waste’ a reveal slot on something we’ve seen some of. (In my opinion of course).
