Just a slightly random note that I feel is worth saying.

The priests gryph-hound in the set is actually half the size of the current one.
I grabbed 4 to give me a unit of 5 and the castellants one is huge in comparison!

The Gryph-Hound accompanying the Excelsior War-Priest is meant to be a younger version.

Ooh I like those zombie Ogors

Yup I can indeed confirm there are zombie ogor's in the audio drama due to mannfred.

Cheers kan
Never realised until they turned up this morning lol.

Silver tower warscrolls still give them the same profile so I'll just have one slightly larger that stands out.

Alright guys, I know I'm no rumormonger so you don't have to believe me but here are some news:

- The AoS rule book with points will have official 6 scenarios, points for everything, including Tomb Kings etc. It will cost 20 euros and is huge. It's coming out end of June or July.

- Alarielle is not on a giant beetle, she's flying above it. She's huge, Nagash's size.

- A new set of collecting boxes are coming for AoS: Around 20 euros for a "ready to play" set. For example: 5 Liberators vs 5 Blood Warriors, etc. I forgot if they have paint in it too or not, but they will have scenarios and rules, everything to be played right away and initiate new players.

That's all I have for now!

I can't believe the "ready to play" rumour. Well, the pricing part. 20€ for TEN new-ish models?! I mean 10€ for 5 Liberators (from the starter) is the most one should pay thanks to ebay, but 40 sounds more realistic. 30 if they keep their strategy of actual discounts on bundle boxes.

I'd love to be proven wrong almost as much as I'd love more Start Collecting boxes, though.

I know, but it didn't occur to me that they were going to knock up a few conversions for it.

In the Age of Rountree, nothing is certain.

Still looks too skinny to be an Ogre, but have at it, I suppose!

He could be lacking in vitamins. Slaughterpriests aren't exactly getting ribeye.

Not a million miles away from the older-school ogre aesthetic and proportions, really. As opposed to the specific OK look.

I think he's almost twice the height of the pre-OK ogres.

Not unless he's on a 60 or 80mm base.

If someone told me one day for the price of a carnosaur you can get 8 saurus knights and 12 saurus warriors for free I wouldn't have believed it either hahaha

Thanks for posting it, Haechi, interesting stuff

True, true, but in between that there's the crazy pricing for all AoS kits. It feels so erratic. At this point I'm still hoping that next year or mybe even in time for christmas another round of Start Collecting boxes is released. With new stuff this time, but how could they make a box from Iron Jawz kits without even crazier savings than the current ones? Or he upcoming tree elves (trelves?). But if they do...all in

PS: I think I sholdn't buy anything until then, I have the worst timing. Got a Ghurk kit from a certain bits site last week for 25% off and was super happy because they were always out of stock during sales, now they're having a 50% off sale today and he is still available

Re: the Mighty Heroes expansion for WHQST- you don't get the cards in the box- you have to use the rulebook or the app to play them in game.
Re: the Tzeentch Sorcerer Lord- GW have recut it and you just get the scenic bit with his feet on, minus the square base and a 32mm round base.

Haechi, what does 'flying above it' mean? There is a crawling beetle model and Alarielle floats/hovers on top of it, both connected? Or is there only a small beetle for decoration? Or no beetle at all?

The pic does look like she is beetle surfing and yeah she should be as big as Nagash - they are both gods

I'm assuming 'as big as Nagash' refers to the overall model size. If she's herself as big as the old geezer, her beetle would have to be Titan sized.

Okay, that's a weird image...

but fun.............. but yeah I mean that the whole model should be the same size

To be honest, I struggle to think of a thing less suited for 'epic centrepiece model' than an Elf riding a giant beetle. So I am very curious to see this model! It surely will be either tremendous or utterly terrible.

Plus, it might well be the first time that we get a model of something that is actually larger than the real-life inspiration for it!

I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing what this model looks like. Giant insects and bugs are always cool, and one can always use more winged elves.

Giant bugs are great!



I'm VERY curious to see what GW does with the concept - in plastic!

I'm just curious to see what's coming after the Mighty Heroes box, be in Quest related or for Age of Sigmar proper.

Doesn't seem like we've had much rumors or leaks this week.

We have, they've just been H-H-Hobby/40k related.

This week's preroders are three new metallic paints(a Silver, Brass, and Copper) and three new technical paints that get painted over a metal to give a gemstone effect.
Next week's preorders are clamshell versions of the Techpriest Enginseer currently in the "Tech Command" box, a Broodlord, and the new Munitorum Armoured Container Caches(MACCs as I'm calling them).

Is this 100% confirmed on the rules?? The Website listing states "This box set contains four plastic Citadel miniatures, with rules for use in games of Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower." Which would be rather misleading.

@Chopxsticks: yup. I received the set today. Though you get rules for these free on the app and with the game itself

Wow... that is a REALLY poorly worded description on their site, in that case.

I'm giving GW a lot of benefit of doubt, as the Age of Roundtree is making some great strides... but stuff like this is a harsh reminder of the GeeDubs of old.

I haven't seen it with my own eyes but my friend who did said it was hovering above it. Alarielle herself is more or less human sized so the beetle must be pretty big to have the overall model be similar to Nagash in size. He didn't specify how high above the beetle she is though.

Played a game of St this afternoon with the guys, honestly not bad, it goes pretty smoothly, even if there was a few kwaks at first.

But small advice, try to play in a calm environement, because you need to make a lot of reading, and its kinda hard if you have other people around disrupting you by talking other non-sens like work or their families and stuff like that...

Thanks for the rumors, Haechi! I'm getting pumped for those general rulebooks.

The new Sylvaneths is sounding sweet. Wondering if anyone is going to make a Nurgle dung-beetle conversion of her stag-beetle?

I give it two days after release before the first Nurgle beetles pop up on the internet. Would ge really well as a mount for e.g. a warshrine. Or a monstrous chariot. Rules-wise it could also be a good count-as for the Glottkin with one or two champs on its back. I will get one just for Nurgle-fying it, but only once it's affordable as a bits purchase on sale.


The tree elves themselves might make for good Nurgle Forsaken or alt Plague Bearers, "fruits" from the Garden of Nurgle or bog corpses that fused with driftwood.

Thanks for clarifying, Haechi, am looking forward to the model
