Well i'm actually considering using those new crazed khorne guys or marauders and adding rat skulls for them to wear as helmets and the wizard or leader gets to wear a grey seer or warlord skull. The general look in my mind would be like the forsworn or forsworn leaders in skyrim.

You know if they do rat cultists I could use them for necromunda so they probably won't because that would be cool.

Are those Khorne guys on Juggers in the base notice something that have been brought up yet? Are they something new?

Not new, Skullcrushers have been around for a few years now.

Just heard this...

We all know that the bow-firing Judicators are coming out this week. Next week will be;

Paladins (something called a Starsoul Mace included)
Two bits of scenery (Numinous Occulum and Dragonfate Dais)

The Treeman and Dryads get re-released in AoS format (new box, round bases, Warscroll)

And there is a bit Sylvaneth Warhost set (three Treemen, 32 Dryads and a Finecast Branchwraith) for £135

I might have to dive into that Warhost box set...

Finecast?

I though Finecast was all done?

It's possible they're just repackaging Drycha, Branchwraith into the box as the model already exists.

Two of the Ork bundle boxes(Kaptin Badrukk's Flash Gitz and Da Vulcha Sqwad) and the big Khorne Daemon box included Finecast stuff that already existed.

Guessing they did not want to do a new plastic mould for just this one model...

Also, will guarantee that this box set will disappear once the inventory has gone (stores cannot get hold of Wind Rider Hosts any more, and that was fairly recent...).

Isn't Drycha No Longer Availabe/Sold Out at the moment?

So are Treemen and Dryads - which fits in with them being re-released. Drycha (now a normal Branchwraith) being Finecast and just in a limited edition (effectively) box set makes a certain sort of sense too.

Temporarily out of stock here.

Hadn't realised those were also no longer available. Then yeah, it does fit with them being re-released.

I just saw this at my flgs over the weekend. Didn't know it was so hard to get

Better pictures of Dragonfate Dias and Numinous Occulum found from GW Preston Facebook. Like Baleful Realmgate, Dragonfate Dias was first sighted in 2013 Triumph and Treachery book but it has received a new base. Numinous Occulum is a new item. It looks like it might be somehow compatible with Ophidian Archway.

Thanks for the nice photos I'm looking forward to the Dragonfate Dias.

The only problem is, I'm buying all this fantasy terrain.. will probably paint it... but wtf will I do with it, hahahaha It's gorgeous terrain, and "must have" for me, but I don't like AoS enough for it to dethrone 40k as my game >.<

And yeah, Occulum looks to be modular, perhaps fitting Ophidian Archway. Maybe I will start building Fantasy buildings...?

My scenery has gotten a lot more mileage in Song of Blades and Heroes than it ever has in proper WFB (which is never) and is going to end up interspersed on the table when we get around to playing Frostgrave.

Hell, I just found my Ophidian Gateway in my daughter's room, where Cinderella and Elsa were fighting off a band of minotaurs (?). My kids use it more regularly than I do, I think.

I'm hoping for a chapel re-release myself, as that's one I always wanted but never took the plunge on.

Majority of terrain looks like something from Heroes of Might and Magic, whfb was something that all those companies looked up to but somehow gw decided to ripoff its own ripoffs and things that ripped off those ripoffs.

How do you go from Blanche and Miller to aping Warcraft or Darksiders? It's embarassing. Characterless, cartoonish and entirely business driven, a complete creative failure.

Did they raise the prices or not?

Wow, $60 for 5 Paladins. I usually don't complain about price, but...damn.

Are those prices in £ or $?

US $

Wow. round bases justify a $6 increase to Dryads huh.. lol. Does GW not know there are tons available on ebay for around $30, if not less

Do we know it's still 12 models for Dryads?

I don't get why people are so upset about the paintings. It been literally the same thing in the recent 40k codices and nobody says a word about it. AoS does it, and everyone loses their minds. People are just looking for things to hate about this game and it's really annoying.

That just shows how many of us have stopped looking at 40K codexes, or how uncritical the rest have become.

My first thought on seeing the pics was did GW hire a talented 12 year old to do them. My second thought on seeing an entire page of copy-pasted pics was who on Earth is going to spend actual money on this kind of crap?

It's GW. Price increases are their bread and butter.

Watch its 5, like everything lately.

Wow 60$ for the Occulum... even at 20% off, that's a little steep for me. At first I was thinking it was a must have, but now I am thinking I should look for parts to scratch build. That's unfortunate, as it is a great looking kit.

Hell, I just found my Ophidian Gateway in my daughter's room, where Cinderella and Elsa were fighting off a band of minotaurs (?). My kids use it more regularly than I do, I think.

Cinderella and Elsa

Looking forward to their stats on the Custom AOS units thread - if you don't I will - Cinderella is pretty kick ass in "Fables" and Elsa...........

well slaanesh units are not gone, and the lore has not removed him, he is just no longer part of the main 4 (I guess) I mean we could all still be wrong about the logo itself, maybe he fused with a dark elf for all we still know.. its not like GW is stopping the production of daemonettes and I personally think that with AoS there will be far more options for glass canons now that its all about warscrolls, they could literally add any unit now and you can fit it around any army you want.

and rat servants have always been a big thing in GW...

Per the Age of Sigmar big book that came out, Slaanesh is still one of the main four in the pantheon of Chaos gods. The Great Horned Rat has joined the pantheon of gods, but is not recognized as an equal by the big four.

I don't think Slaanesh is going anywhere anytime soon. My guess is that, with Tyrion and Malerion (a morphed version of Malekith) having captured Slaanesh, we are actually going to end up seeing Morathi free Slaanesh and leave with all of her followers, creating the Cult of Slaanesh again. That way, GW has a elf (or aelf or whatever) faction as a part of chaos, which will be the existing Witch Elves, the blood shrine and the other really evil looking existing DE stuff with some new cool opportunities for new units (like an ascended daemon prince - elf type thing). That helps to diversify the model options for Chaos and allows people who feel weird playing DE as order to really embrace the darkness.

Also, the interesting thing with the Great Horned Rat ascending to Chaos god status, is that it opens up a possibility for the Skaven to pop-over into 40k. There are lots of comments popping up within different fluff pieces saying that the Skaven have been messing around with time - I could see that being the way they breach the 40k universe. Or it is some way to pull in some other strange faction into AoS. To respond to one of the other posts, I highly doubt we will start to see mortals worshipping/marked with the great horned rat. But, I would love to see a unit of slaves made up of captured humans and other species, branded with the symbol of the great horned rat, which controls their mind and gives them and extra inch of movement or something like that.

There is still lots of possibility with where the fluff is going. And seeing as how we have truly only seen three factions so far in this new game (Stormcasts, Khorne and Sylvaneth (tree spirits)), I am intrigued to see what they do with the rest of the factions. Many of the criticisms are true, but we've only really seen the beginning. I mean, if you had only been able to read the first four chapters of the Wheel of Time series, you would probably be griping about it just being about teenagers in a small town and some stupid festival... though I agree, GW should speed up the releases a tad to give us a better idea of where things are truly going.
