Clan's Cynic

I can say with confidence this week's Rumour Engine is not a goose. Unless a goose is holding the stick. Hm.

Another Monday, another Kroot. Hard to believe it's not an AoS model! I could see the mount in particular being used for some more unusual CoS conversions. .

Annnd the WarCom article/interview.

Crappy Valentines Day? Never fear, the Hammerhal Herald is here.

New Model Monday is 40k again. At least it's a Kroot.

Vanguard Spearhead boxes for CoS and FEC. Presence of the Mounted Marshal in the CoS one is quite nice, as I know the price point of him was something of a gripe for a few people.

Legions Imperialis and Leviathan stand-alone pre-orders next week. However...

There's a rumour doing the sounds it'll be Legions Imperialis. Of course, there's the other rumour saying it'll drop on March 1st instead.

The (suspected) Legions Imperialis reprints were done in the UK. Iirc my Siege of Cthonia was as well.

Dawnbringer Chronicles time. Shadows and lies, lies and shadows.

AoS Organised Play packet for 2024.

40k for New Model Monday unfortunately, but I'm sure some folks will get use out of the Kroot Hounds for conversions.

Black Library Celebration next week.

Man Reads Book reads Dawnbringers IV and goes into a good amount of detail of Triumph and Treachery.

This going to read like pure copeium, but why would BoC be any different to StD, Freeguild, 'Ardboyz etc with AoS getting new sculpts and the old models remaining in production for TOW? Like Lizardmen and Skaven, Beastmen are one of those things people look at and instantly think "Games Workshop(tm) PLC" and we know how obsessed modern GW is with it's IP. Also, we didn't get the new Beastlord that long ago. I know that doesn't necessarily save an army (Silver Tower comes to mind here), but it'd still be strange. I just can't see them going the way of the dodo.

Another Friday, another Dawnbringer Chronicle; this time catching up with Gavriel Sureheart.

Ushoran's Warscroll PDF. And a Regiment of Renown Preview.

Alternative Arch-Knight from the Command Set. "The counterpart from the Age of Sigmar is a little better armoured, but still retains an avian demeanour. This is the Steel Rook, an alternate Arch-Knight for the Freeguild Command Corps. They continue the animal theme of the Arch-Knights, adding a third, bird option to the bear or fish knights you can build from the main Corps kit. They’re even accompanied by an actual rook, just in case the feathered fashion statements were too subtle."

Warhammer Event Minis revealed. Fair to say AoS wins this one. Alternative Arch-Knight for CoS, all hail Morr(da)! Although I'm sure some Tzeentchian cultists will be eager to get their hands on this one.

If it's not a revision, I would assume it's the Mechanicum Knight Styrix/Magaera since those are still in resin.

'Eavy Metal recipe for painting Ushoran. Also an interview with the painters.

Free Mini of the Month is a Cryptguard, for all you budding Bretonnians Ghouls. And the Collectable Coin is Black Library.

Have they said if another Balance Dataslate is coming this close to 4.0? Honest question, I can't remember if it's been said.

And it's Dawnbringers IV and Flesh-Eater Courts (inc. Ushoran)!

Another Dawnbringer Chronicle, this time, Skaven. Maybe a heavily armoured Warlock model will be coming with Dawnbringers? "Then a thud echoed. Katchrikk’s glee choked. Another heavy impact saw the smoke ripple. A hulking shape stomped into view at the lip of the spire’s savaged gash – a figure entombed in a walking, gun-studded coffin of green-tinged metal. "A keening, whirring din rang out. Ignoring Zzzit’s scream, Katchrikk raced to arm the spare warhead, as the generator mounted to Queelum’s armour roared – providing him the strength needed for the other Warlock to heft a ratling gun single-handedly, its barrels whirring and keening to life."
