Cost of Magmadroth: US$110
Cost of a Start Collecting box: US$85
This is why so many people expect the Magmadroth to be excluded from the Fyreslayers a Start Collecting. As far as I know, all of the existing Start Collecting centerpiece models cost US$85 or less. I know the Seraphon box is basically buying the Carnosaur and getting some Warriors and Knights for free, but I'm not expecting "buy a Magmadroth at a 25% discount and get other units for free."
But then you also get three character models in the Magmadroth box as well, so if they just gave you one character and the Magma its not impossible.

I was just wondering if it might have something to do with the Anvils of Heldenhammer Stormcast, who I think might have some Stormcast reforged from heroes from shyish, and who played quite a big role in Sigmar trying to recruit Nagash in 'Lord of Undeath'. Which makes be wonder if there might be some connection with death at some point down the line.

I'm thinking the front of a vehicle, if you imagine it as the prow on the front of a ship, or a metal ram on the front of an ork vehicle maybe.

Suggests it's out pretty soon if it's already painted and ready to go? Not a slow-burner like some of the rumour engine stuff
Just had another look at the back log of rumours and there are only a couple of things that have been painted that we haven't seen any of yet, and there is one other painted model which they've greyscaled.

I actually think they do this most the time, that's why sometimes stuff looks like Forge World when it's not - bit of Photoshop greyscale action
You might be right, although one of the Eavy Metal painters on the stream did say that most of the models they paint are the pre-production resins because the plastics haven't been made, so im going to guess the photographs might sometimes follow the same route. I was just wondering if they've greyscaled a painted model before...can't think of any, although I might be wrong.

Really intrigued by this image, also the fact that it's obviously been painted and they've made it black and white. Why would they do that? Don't think they've done that before.

The re-release of the forgeworld verminlord makes me happy, i missed getting one the first time. I love the model so will definitely picking myself up one.

Loving this thread, and the models people are working on look great and have been really inspiring.
I'm in the early stages of an idea centred around an outcast chaos dwarf daemonsmith looking to gain enough power to return and make those who cast him out pay. Part of this is going to be a ogre bodyguard who used to work in the mines as a labourer. I've always loved the forgeworld renegade ogryn so thought AoS28 the perfect setting for them, also think that the masks they wear took like the kind of thing they might wear in the mines.
Think that most of the model fits well with the Chaos Dwarf aesthetic but have cut of some of the pipes and tubes sticking out of his body to make it look a little less 40K and added the tusks and a couple of sprouting spikes. I also like the idea that the ogre has had to make makeshift weapons so hacked off his now hand and made a ball and chain from bits he's found. He's also added bits to the mine lamp he ripped off the wall as he fled the mine and has attached some of the skulls of the things he's killed to it as trophies.
Anyway still early days, but enjoying playing around with different bits, and coming up with the fluff to go with it.

Eshin and Moulder need a complete overhaul off the top
Also there are a surprising number of metal models still in the range which could do with some love.

The more I look at it the less I'm thinking nurgle, the skin does have a couple of pockmarks and lumps, but other than that i think it looks a bit too clean when you compare it to other nurgle models, also have we seen any other nautical themed nurgle other than Gutrot Spume?

Those boils and pock marks are very Nurgle. I can see them tidying up Nurgle with a release or two and a Battletome
It does have a slightly nurgly feel, but also doesn't really look like anything i've seen before, and after the shock reveal of the Kharadron overlords it could be part of a new faction for all we know. I'm going to predict its going to be a giant three-headed acid breath tortoise, with a howdah carrying a group of Slaaneshi dark aelves.
Long live the new unpredictable GW!

The nice thing is that people on facebook have said if we can get a box or upgrade sprue to make em many of them will be starting a stormcast army. I think she is having the right effect.
There's just something about the model i love. The current range are great, if a little tank like, this model has an agility the others don't which i really like. She looks like she could easily summersault over her enemies head, scissor kick them in the neck and then swiftly flatten their skull with the hammer without slowing down...which is all i've ever wanted in a woman.

"Brightshield is the first recognisably female Stormcast to be depicted as a Citadel Miniature, but certainly not the only one in Sigmar’s hosts"
I know not exactly a rumour but i'm hoping they do a range of the female stormcast because I'm loving the look. The paint job on the model is great, I think I prefer the sculpt to the current one, i like the less bulky look...more please GW!

Looks a bit like Dorghar's tail curled round.

Anchor from a Destruction airship.
I wondered if it might have been an anchor from some new Aelve ship, in in contrast to the new Duardian sky ships.

Not sure about unique scroll for Vandus but would like to see one for Khul if he manages to become a Daemon Prince.
It feels like the thread of the story in Aos isn't finished with Vandus yet, seems like he's going to become someone/something more significant after his previous reforging and his spanking of Skarbrand. We may see a scroll at some point but i'd expect it to be representing something more significant than he currently is.

GW does all of their sculpting digitally now, so it's more likely they grabbed the Tzeentch head from Archaon when they made the Lord of Change.
Apparently Seb sculpted Archaon and when the guy who sculpted the LoC was interview on Warhammer tv he said he used the Archaon model as a reference when he was sculpting the LoC.

I do think some of those sculpts they did in the last years of WHFB are quite nice, but even then they were diverging from the aesthetic established by the main design studio. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I see FW's purpose as being to complement the main range whilst pushing the quality of execution even further, not to just go off and do stuff that has very little obvious connection to AoS either conceptually or aesthetically. I'd suggest, perhaps controversially, that Forgeworld's AoS output doesn't really distinguish itself from any number of other third party miniature studios that riff off the Warhammer IP. I can appreciate your preference for the Realms of Chaos style, which was and is very cool, but I'd prefer that Forgeworld reflect the current aesthetic whilst offering something that GW can't do, not just something they happen not to be doing, probably for good reason.
It actually drives me nuts that Skaarac is meant to be a Korgorath when he looks absolutely nothing like the Khorgorath from the starter set. I would love to have a giant Khorgorath, but Skaarac just isn't it. Yeah, I get that he was salvaged from a different concept, but it's different enough from its original incarnation that they must have had numerous opportunities to introduce details that would bring it more in line with the main studio sculpt, but they chose not to.
Each to their own i suppose.

Fair enough, we all have different tastes. To me the guy on the left looks like a half-arsed lump of very expensive resin that someone made up as they went along, then left out in the sun too long, whereas the Glottkin looks like something that somebody actually went to the trouble to design.
And are Forgeworld really doing stuff that GW won't these days, at least for AoS? These days I wouldn't put it past GW to do just about anything. The latest Forgeworld models seem to be less impressive and less coherent riffs on things GW have already done.
Out of interest, what AoS stuff have you bought from Forgeworld?
Ah ya see the FW model reminds of the Realms of Chaos stuff from 3rd edition, I love that feeling that it is just a viscous, decaying mass of corrupted flesh, it looks like it’s constantly on the verge of disintegrating, while corrupting anything it wallows towards…very John Blanche’sk. I just think FW’s stuff is more just more gritty, which appeals to both my aesthetic sense and painting style.
I have a bucked load of the chaos dwarf stuff, some of the skin wolves (who are truly unpleasant to look at), warpfire dragon, and skaven on brood horror, to name some. Skaarac, Tamurkhan, the Fimirach, Bonegrinder Giant, and some planned Chaos ogre conversions using the renegade ogryn are on the list of things to buy.

I love that FW do things that GW don’t, and I really like the gritty grimy feel that a lot of the FW stuff has. I’m loving AoS and have loved the releases that we’ve seen from GW so far, but not enough to actually want to buy any of them. My money is currently all going on FW stuff…and if I’m honest I prefer the guy on the left.

..why do people assume they're trying to make the universe all rainbows and unicorns. If you've read the Harry Potter books, which are aimed at 9-12, you know kids books can be plenty dark. the first book has a disembodied, evil, mass murdering spirit wizard taking possession of someones body, so they can drink the blood of a slaughtered unicorn...sounds pretty grim.
