$80 bucks? Are they friggin' insane?
Also, he looks familiar....

This...

Again, technical brilliance, short on imagination.

Think the actual model is stunning. WD pics didn't do justice. Bam. Nailed it.

Sprue pics for Celestant Prime folks. Ghal Maraz is NOT a small weapon lol. Also looks like you have an option on posing cause there's 2 of Ghal Maraz there. The "Come at me bro" pose or the graceful descent pose.

$134 for a 3 frame character? And here I though $60 for 2 was absurd.

I might leave the cape off if I do go through with this purchase, it just looks like something that would drag on the floor and tear, get dirty and trip up our Angelic Construct if he ever chose to walk around

Nothing enough cool can't handle

Spoiler:

Watched that film last night - really enjoyed and she was great

cool wins over reality

That was my post (the first bit about it getting dirty) I can understand the coolness factor and leaving it on. What's that gif from, btw?

New Mission Impossible film - she is very cool in it

I don't know why you would compare with those miniatures specifically, it has nothing in common with the Warmachine one aside from the pose, which has been a cliche in comics/anime etc since I don't know, the 70s or so?

Edit: actually if I could take I guess I'd say that pose has its origins in Jesus on the cross, so more like 2000 years old.

@MWHidtorian - obviously, they are not insane, since there are people who will buy this model at the price at which it is releaed

I don't think it's as awesome as Nagash, but it's cheaper too. I quite like it, may end up painting one for my wife's army, another just for a display piece.

The pose is an angelic knight levitating with some thematic weapons. The pose isn't original by any means, buy the model is certainly not a copy or ripoff of another model. Either you'll love it or you wont - it's a sigmarites crowd pleaser.

What are the rumoured subsequent releases?

Are we likely to see existing kits repackaged next week?

EDIT



I'm wondering if it will be related to this. The Knight with the banner has a Chaos Knight sword arm and there currently isn't an option for a sword in the Warscroll for the Lord on Juggernaut, only an axe.

Seems odd for GW to do such a specific kitbash considering the Warscroll options are fairly limited. Perhaps we'll see it repackaged with an additional sprue?

Fifty notes? Totally worth it. I'm buying three.

The Khorne Lord on Juggernaut has been removed from the website, at least in the UK. Was a finecast kit of course, but perhaps a replacement is coming.

Is the Prime the same size as the rest of the Stormcasts, with just his wings being all huge, or is he actually physically larger than the others?

Hard to tell. He looks bigger. Guess we'll find out this weekend.

Prosecutors box, three models, should be 46,- €

Knight Azyros, should be 33,- €
(that guy is the prosecutor hero)

Knight Venator, same price as the Azyros, shooty hero

Stormcast Eternals Upgrade Sprues, should be 9,- €, with shields and stuff (we have seen the shields back with the one bundle)

Battletome Stormcast Eternals, should be 46,- €, here you have your Armybook/Codex with fluff and rules^^

regards,
Lady Atia

Edit: Also, afaik we still have the Knight Vexillor (banner) and Knight Heraldor to go, just not this week

Prosecutors are $58 USD for 3. Atia says there are a lot of bits, including shields/spears and 2h weapons.

Knight Azyros and Knight Venator are $41 USD each. Knight Azyros has been seen in one of the photos of the whole "siege" in the first Age of Sigmar book. Has a glorious crest and what looked to be a huge honking spear. Knight Venator is supposed to be a ranged hero but no photos have surfaced, at all, of him.

Stormcast Eternals upgrade sprues(which we DID see in the early "one-click bundle" when we first got the Liberators) are around $13 USD.

The Battletome: Stormcast Eternals is to be $58 USD

So the Battletome is like the armybook equivalent?

Me trying to wrap my head around these changes...

Yep.

I doubt there will be anything beyond fluff and formations which won't be put onto the Age of Sigmar app though.

BATTLETOME: STORMCAST ETERNALS (ENGLISH) Book (HB) - $58
STORMCAST ETERNAL PROSECUTORS Plastic Box - $60
STORMCAST ETERNAL KNIGHT-AZYROS Plastic Box - $40
CELESTIAL WARBRINGERS UPGRADES Plastic Clam - $12
KNIGHTS EXCELSIOR UPGRADES Plastic Clam - $12

So we can build him without the swilry? May just try that then.

Would look much cooler with just the ribbons trailing behind him.

How much do you want for the spare Ghal Maraz?

Huh. Interesting--they're purposely altering the price brackets they use.

46E price bracket is the $58 USD price bracket.

I like the flying guys but I don't think they're worth $20 each :(

I was gonna keep the chaos stuff from my starter set to paint for fun, but now I'm wondering if I should just try and trade em for another batch of starter Sigmarines, and maybe do some conversions for the characters to change em up a little, and then maybe add in the new swirly leader angely guy

Surprised to see more chapter upgrade packs already. Do we figure these will have five shoulder pads, or enough for a full tac squad? Any idea of other chapter-specific gear included?

...wait a sec. We're not talking about space marines, are we?

That stopped being cute ages ago.

Don't have anything useful to contribute or comment on?
Then don't.

Do we know it will be a box of 3? There are 3 paladins in the starter but they got a box of 5, I don't see why the flying guys would be any different unless there is a rumor suggesting otherwise (did I miss something?).

Lady Atia stated it's going to be a box of 3, and she's got images of the Stormcast battletome already so...I think it's safe to say, box of 3.

And there are 3 Retributors(a specific type of unit made from the Paladins box) in the AoS starter, and their Warscroll specifically states that they're a unit of 3.

To be fair when was the last time we saw any kind of subfaction upgrade kits in fantasy? I think I recall DE, Empire and VC(?) at least had shield kits a decade or so ago.

Hell, even in 40k the old upgrade kits are long forgotten and only recently been replaced with new marine ones.

Those wings take up a lot of space on the starter sprues so I can see why they might only have to be 3 to a box, would be a much nicer if it turns out to be 5 though. <fingers crossed>

a bit disappointed the prosecutors are quite so spendy,compared to the other 'troop' choices so far.

I'd have got a box of 5 to mess about with, not so sure about a box of 3 even with plenty of extras (unless there are extra wing sets, but I doubt that

Dark Elves got a set of shields when the basic Warrior kit got updated.
It's still up for Direct Order as well, 10 shields for $9.50--with no heraldry or anything.

Huh. I never noticed that. What is the point of it though without heraldry? Once upon a time you could by the metal heraldry that just went on over the top.

I think it's because you can equip Darkshards with shields, but you could not actually equip them with shields from the sprues without significant amounts of cutting/filing.

I'm guessing we're going to get some Dracoth Knights of some sort..

What are these Stormcast upgrade sets? Are they just shields, or is there going to be other stuff on the sprue as well? Some alternate helmets or weapons might make them a bit more worthwhile.

We saw alternate shields and shoulderpads in the bundle imagery awhile back.
