Think I might be getting two. Wow. Also, two female heroes.. and is that main Tzeentch Sorceror a female as well?

Can only see one - the "Dark Elf"? Can't make out the other Elf Sorcerer to be sure.

The Tzeentch Sorcerer could be - but on the other hand - "it" may not be a single sex any more............or even have a gender......

Also a black guy!

Models all look awesome to be honest - Likely a buy from me!

Excellent

Now if the Stormcast was the first female named in their ranks (*) - that would be great!

(*) there are several references to women being called to the Stormcast but not a single name as yet.............

Ah well...............

Why does anything?

Some of us thought it would be nice to have a female model or two................you know like pretty much every other fantasy boardgame

Well, there are female models; plus, the Gaunt Summoner could easily be either.

Well one female model

Yes - that's fine by me - I was answering the previous poster who I think as asking why it mattered if a given model was female or not - it was not clear what he meant tbh.

The Models do all look great - really impressed by GW's boxed games at the moment.

I really enjoy that the warpriest is sculpted to be a black man features wise. GW usually just skin color swaps models but this one seems to be deliberately sculpted, which is a nice touch I think.

Agreed

Is the Mistweaver male or female - I cant quite tell from the pic? Same with the Shard?

Mistweaver is female according to the text. Shard is male

Ok, just let me the time to translate :p

thanks - look forward to it

Sooo if they don't do AOS warscrolls for all these in WD they would be missing a trick..........and that seems less likely now than it has been in some time!

Mistweaver Saih
An enigma shrouded in mystery under the guise of an illusion, such is the Mistweaver Saih, nobody knowing anything about her.
Some say she may come from Ulgu, whose shadows are haunted, without having any evidence
Who are his allies ? Who are her enemies ? To who has she pledge allegiance / who is her master ?
Why did she come to the Silver Tower ?
The only certainty for those who fight by her sides is that she is a top-notch / tiptop enchantress, whose magical lightnings volatilize / destroy whoever provokes her ire.
She deceives and blinds her enemies thanks to illusions, exacerbating their hidden fears, spreading discord and paranoia, pushing her opponents to fight each others, or even to attack themselves, as she floats serenely on a mystical mist cloud.

Thanks - she does sound and look cool - reminds me of the Rackham Elves of long ago.....

**Mr Morden**

Pretty much a certain buy for me - just for the models

Maybe the game will be good as well which would be a bonus!

Perhaps they are trying to sell the skills etc it like premium abilities / DLC content in online games?

**Mr Morden**

Why is there a Khorne character in there? Don't tell me that you can actually play as a Chaos character!

2 Order and 2 Chaos Characters

Hoping next pack is two Death and two Destruction

Huh? Neat. I didn't know that about it. I alwas thought you had to play as the "good" guys.

Nope

Anyone can loot the tower - or become a pawn of Tzeentch (or both)

I did flick through the book before I preorderd but can't recall if the bosses can be changed - I would be surprised if not anf there will be fan stuff............

People are already piecing out "just model" sales for Ebay, and honestly, if you take into account online-discounter prices, Kanluwen is right.... you'd might as well get the game and all the models.

So I should spend £75 to get all the models, even the ones I don't want, and a game I won't be playing, rather than spending £55 to get just the models I want(Barbarian, Tzaangor, cultists, Gobbos, Skaven, and Familiars)? That sounds like a bad plan.

Well depends if you can recoup the whole £55 by selling the stuff you don't want I guess?

Drawing cards and rolling dice on an app holds zero appeal to me. I don't really want more reasons in my life to take out my phone while I'm doing something else, especially in social situations. Glad it seems for the most part optional besides needing it if you expand on heroes from the base game.

Agreed - I don't own (or indeed want) anything capable of running the app- unless it works on home computers. And that's not portable.

I also understood that Dice rolling apps are at best dubious.

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

**Mr Morden**

His Master's Voice wrote:
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

More artwork - links via Lordkane and Lastlostboy on www.gw-fanworld.net

Spoiler:

Source: http://ketka.deviantart.com/art/Spite-Revenants-vs-Crypt-Flayers-Warhammer-612567596

I like it - its bright and shiny but that mostly fits with Age of Sigmar -- I loved the Old World but this is a different universe so fine with the art. Its very High Fantasy/Mythic almost Anima.....

Interesting they were done in 2015...............

Well nice to see some more female figures (finally) in the art

Alarielle looks good - should be a cool model and the Bloodthirster looks angry enough to me.........although bloodletter bottom right looks like he has lost his sword!

The Revenants are interesting - almost like Dryads in mid form shift...............

I like Alarielle and the warriors fighting next to her. I don't care much for the Spite Revenants (the green tree guys). As artwork its okay, but they look more like vampires than elves or Aelves or whatever they are calling them now.

Spites were nasty little things in the previous book/s - the word revenant suggests they may be undead so they may actually be something like a vampire - perhaps they are the tree folk of Nagash's realm?

Eh...I think you're just grabbing onto the "undead" aspect of the revenant part without considering what the term has been used for historically.
In European myth, revenants are those who return from the grave with a specific purpose--usually revenge or to mend a wrong.
To the Greeks and Egyptians, whose myths the European myths were seemingly based upon? Revenants were not "undead", not in the sense that most people think of(shambling horrors and the like)--they were the souls of the deceased returning to reanimate their remains to accomplish a task. That task might have been revenge or to serve as a messenger from the pantheon of gods or whatever.

Kind of a weird distinction I know, but remember the background on Tree-Kin? They were the souls of deceased Asrai who were animating dead tree material to form a body for themselves so that they could continue to protect Athel Loren and their kin--they had nothing to do with the undead or Nagash.
Or heck, remember that the Elf who became Orion was actually slain during the process of awakening Orion, with his heart removed and replaced with an apple from the Oak of Ages and the vines wound about his frame were part of what kept him alive as well.

Wood Elves have always had an element of ritual and revenants to them with no necessity of Nagash or the Realm of Death being involved. I have a feeling that the Waystones we've been told that the Wanderers are placing, which are bringing back the power of Life to the realms, are going to be tied in somehow to these Spite Revenants and Tree-Revenants(that's the name the poster from the recent Open Day used to describe the other set up of Aelf/Dryad mix).

Hmm interesting ideas - could very well be right but I am also thinking that all the various races seem to be found in the various realms and are often changed by them - so you could have some form of tree folk (agreed so maybe not these) who are tied to the realm of Death?

**Mr Morden**

At least there are no Hafflings.

it was the END time for them, right, Right!?

**Mr Morden**

Fantastic image

Isn't it just the pic in the thread?

Ah, I see what they're going for summoning then. Other than just alternative deployments, it's also for bypassing the max restrictions you have for leaders and behemoths.

Small scale heroes probably, but there's some opportunity to be had there in summoning multiple heralds maybe.

I don't know about that - a lot of Summoning is not Heroes.

Is it likely the Summoing effects abilities like Neferata's ability to make new Vampires by killing enemy heroes?

Got to admit, I've not bought a big piece from GW since Nagash. But I am getting Alarielle first day of release. I am feeling distinctly excited about painting her. I popped over to Warseer out of morbid curiosity and unsurprisingly, they're all just bitching about it.

Whats there to complain about

(well except price)

Alarielle and the trees with bows look fantastic. Also looking forward to the "Start Collection set.

I wonder if there is a alternative Elf who surfs beatles? A untit of those led by the Elf Queen would be pretty cool

**Mr Morden**

WOW - they are stunning.

It's also the case of the Spite-Revenant which I assume is the Shadestalker. So ghost boobies appear to be ok for GW.
