Everything else is good, but the headwear could stand to be stripped down.

I have seen people with much bigger and heavier headwear in Las Palma's Drag Queen festival and Tenerife's Carnivale.

I'm all for ridiculous headwear every now and then, but I kind of feel like her collar and hat are working at cross purposes. Their silhouettes interfere with each other. A different paint scheme might help, so that the collar is more of a simple backdrop for the hat. But even better IMO would be to bring the collar down so her hat is more prominent and the scrolls are hanging around shoulder height. That's how I'd convert her, at least.

Cool model, but yeah, the headgear needs to go

Seriously. That's some messy freehand for a studio job.

Were they also about to fight the undead, wherein you'd want as few grabbing hazards as possible?

I believe this is a bit nitpicking when we are speaking about a normally non-combat prophetess. In warhammer. If you want pragmatism to fight undead one should watch Zombieland.

Of course one can find the hat of this woman ugly or exaggerated but thematically I don't find any problem with it.

"When a vampire can no longer control its feral urges, it can turn into a monstrous Vargskyr."

Isn't that exactly what happens with Varghulfs? Are the latter just being condemned to FEC and Varskyr will be for soulblights?

From what I understand, Varghulfs in AoS aren’t actually vampires now, they’re from the Ghoul lineage. And Vargskyrs are now essentially what Varghulfs were in WHF.

I wouldn't mind first getting some more information about the actual Cursed City game, which is presumably supposed to be interesting in its own right...

My fav bit the new short story

Following it, Mannfred’s grin froze. One of his thralls had collapsed slightly off-centre, landing atop one of the binding runes of the circle and smudging it. A small detail, yes, but crucial. Neferata would be howling with laughter, were she ever to learn of it.

He tries so hard too...

After yesterday's preview, am I the only one who thinks they give the boring versions of skeletons and zombies in cursed City and kept the interesting ones to sell them in separate boxes?

They were made flat to save space on the sprue.

Any chance of preorder next week?

We're like halfway done with the weekly character previews?

I hope next week is preorder, it has been about 3 months from the first reveal, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable.

Next week is the pretty big Lumineth release and BR Teclis. I doubt this will be there as well.

Fair, I thought since we'd seen the full box contents now they weren't sticking too religiously to those weekly drops. My hype for this is starting to die tbh

Painting videos have started so it must me imminent?

Interesting that the mini has the stone floor sculpted on.

No new mini just use a CoS Battlemage.

New Model

New model for AoS, not Cursed City

After the joke on the livestream, the note in the preview article, and now a how-to paint video, for it not to go on pre-order next weekend would seem a little odd. For it not to go on pre-order within the next two weekends would be downright bizarre.

It certainly feels like it should be up for preorder soon. I am hoping personally a preorder on the 3rd with a release on the 10th. I'm getting a bit antsy to get my hands on it.

For some reason April 10th was in my head. But maybe that’s because I’m hoping I can go physically get it on the 12th if so.

Well, the announcement was the 23rd of January, if they're still trying to hold to 'preview no more than 3 months in advance' it should come out in the next 4 weeks or so.

I'm definitely hoping for sooner rather than later.

Another painting video

That’s.....perhaps not a bad call you know.

It could be a Big Ticket item to get people into stores when they’re allowed to re-open in the UK.

Certainly it’ll help folk qualify for the backlog of collectors coins, too. I’m hitting my local store regardless, as I’m pretty sure they’ve got Grey Seer spray in stock, and I don’t much fancy eBay prices!

Levelling article is now up -

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/03/23/how-to-get-even-faster-tougher-or-more-murder-y-in-warhammer-quest-cursed-city/

Next week we are getting an article on the actual adventures the heroes will be going on.

Definitely gearing up for pre-order in the next couple of weeks.

Jeez GW, release the game.. It’s anticlimactic already.

This makes me happy:


It's a far cry from proper Quest, but at least it's there.
