Just catching up now- was away early all day with work. I keep saying this but GW are making incredible miniatures these days- the standard is unreal! Ushoran is amazing- such a perfectly proportioned monster, such details without being too much... wow! The FEC release looks amazing generally- the bat cavalry are just awesome! I thought the leader had a helmeted head but even better he was wearing a helmeted head! 😂 The tombKings Bone Dragon is also just fantastic - a bit tricky to make the overall shape but the characters, the howdah.. they have a mummified cat! its just great -delighted for Tomb King players. I actually really like the Kruel Boyz sculpts - they are really nice, perhaps a bit plain for a war band but lovely as regular models. They would be a nice painting project. I think now any faction waiting for an update are going to get some absolutely cracking models - the wait will be worth it whenever they get their turn [can't wait to see deer elves and new dwarfs whenever we get them...😇]. Fantasy stole the show , with an honourable mention to the despicable Night Lords - looks like a great kit for their fans!

Haven't read the book but just listened to 2+tough Youtube summary of the book. Sounds like a great narrative - I especially found the bits around Kurnoth and Kurnothi exciting. Hearing the description of Deer legged elves with bows in Belthanos ambushing force sounds promising -im hoping not just centaurs but faun types as well. Hopefully this is pointing to a release at some point but perhaps not for some time.

I think they also said there would be some metal kits too! Its quite strange going to back to my old WHFB dwarf army and feeling the weight! Hoping to pick up a few of the old Longbeards if they bring them back...

I like it? Marching column is new but it adds a nice choice - faster movement but vulnerable inCC. The charge - is random but not entirely with movement + d6. Looks good?

That model is amazing! I love the wings- they look like huge taloned hands stretching out! This bodes well for the FEC release!

Yes -I mean the return of Grungni during Broken Realms hasn't had much impact at all this edition, the only new Dwarfs have been the fantastic new Fyreslayer Warband and a couple of Characters. Could be a long setup or it could be seeding lots of possibilities the design team can explore or not in the future.

Its the rules - wasn't there someone who reads the lore?They did it for the last book.

Or Kurnothi vs FEC!

Or maybe they will set up to be the adversaries of the FEC and come later, Belthanos seems quite interested in the reports of a Carrion King. I still think that Kurnoth could arrive at the ned of 3rd edition as the rite of life ends, although I've seen nothing to suggest this.

Well that story made a lot of interesting reading.. very excited by the main character being a centaur.. not holding my breath but good to see an animalistic kurnothi featured. I'd love a Warband of centaurs,fauns and wild elves but can't see it happening anytime soon. The Ossiarchs being involved with the containment of the Carrion Lord sounds interesting- Death vDeath clash!

Often overlooked.. possibly due to their lack of height...

Could be the other type of elf... the short, stocky kind, big beards, wears heavy armour, penchant for axes and hammers... some of them like riding around in sky ships? 😇

I'm a collector- I like to collect armies and AoS I have a small Kharadron Overlords force and a Kurnothi war band. I have never played, used to play WFB and currently got back playing 40k as my girlfriend introduced me to a friend who plays. If our small group was interested I would play but at the moment I enjoy reading the lore and collecting models I like, although my painting is mostly aimed at 40k as thats my gaming fix at the moment.

Have to say the new Brets look fantastic -much more than what I was expecting. Each faction getting a couple of plastic kits each makes me a lot more optimistic about ToW. The foot knights look amazing - very much of a similar quality to the CoS stuff. Obviously similar mounted knights would be ideal but making "new" kits rather than replacing the old should help boost sales as old players can add to their collections. Getting initial sales will be key to rebuilding the Old World as a game. Looks very promising all in all, looking forward totem getting around to doing dwarfs and maybe wood elves.

Well just caught up- the 40k stuff was a bit light, my mate was hoping to see more Necrons. AoS- Stormcast, although not my thing, looks pretty cool. The Kurnoth Hunter character is very good-I've always liked the Hunters and that is a gorgeous mini. I'm a little sad there wasn't proper [to my mind] Kurnothi, but maybe more welcome in the future, maybe as a Warcry war band or something. The Brets- those foot Knights are amazing- I think if you kit bashed them with the older stuff the range would be great and the mounted pegasus is fabulous. If they take this approach with the other factions - a unit and a character in plastic I have higher hopes for ToW. Needed more dwarfs mind you...😄

The 40k ones will be Necrons and Mechanicus as they are the next two codex up for release, pretty light releases apparently with just a few characters. AoS seems to be getting the lions share. Khorne- Sylvaneth-FEC?

Khorne- one of the bugs has a red skull, Kurnothi- antler skull, the other ..there are jagged triangles - maybe FEC or Mawtribes?

Just noticed the beetles have markings of skulls with antlers !

Oh cool! Now I'm hyped! Hoping for Kurnoth/a character and a unit or two...🤞

I'm not expecting anything yet- maybe a war cry war band and possibly a character, but I have no sense anything like that will be shown this weekend. FEC and Chaos/Khorne are more likely.

Has White Dwarf or Bugman appeared yet? I'd say either one of those would be an iconic 40yr model if it wasn't Harry the Hammer.. Edit: White Dwarf has been shown.. I doubt Bugman will appear .. mo idea really... someone on Bolter mentioned the models are chronological -th eScreamer Killer released this year so 40 th might be next years release?

I was guessing FEC are more imminent, but you could well be right and FEC come in late winter/early spring.

I'm honestly not expecting anything beyond a warcry set for Kurnothi and maybe Kurnoth himself. bUt wait and see, not sure anything for them will appear until the last book- the culmination of the rite of life.

Could be for the Old World- there is a Liche riding an undead dragon coming according to Valrak.
