The Loremaster of Hoeth is also missing.

Both the Loremaster and the Silver helms were specifically shown in the original LVO announcement as returning plastic kits, so maybe there's a wave 4 as part of a made-to-order rerelease

Around the 56 min mark: https://youtu.be/sBltVMVUyfA?t=3340

They apparently contacted one of the artists who worked on the Cathay Arcane Journal for interview, but they can't release the video until Autumn/Fall for various reasons

Rumour that the Beastmen AJ has something like the following:

Whenever you attempt to cast or dispel a spell, you receive a +1 to your roll for every wizard in your command range, plus bonuses from herdstone if you take it. However, any double is a miscast/outclassed in the art

Not strictly old world news but... For anybody that's looking for salamander models to use in their lizardman armies there's new drakes for LOTR that I think will fit perfectly.

Oh those are cool! I might have to try and get a pair just to own!


Also what happened with LotR? Wasn't there some woman on a horse animation tie-in model that got previewed ages ago and still hasn't come out?

It was released December last year

I don't recall seeing this model go on sale

News yes but anything that mentions it is from that December preview

you are right, I usually don't check the actual sales announcement as anything is released 2 weeks later from the preview anyway

It was only announced and still hasn't been released.

So the herdstone is getting rules again. Can’t wait for that, I bought and painted one specifically for such a thing.

Something like +1 to cast and re-roll 1s to wound for the herdstone?

So my Beastmen are actually an entire Albion army using their rules, I for one welcome any scrap of info or hints on their AJ!

Also am I misremembering but wasn't the PReyton mentioned specifically as returning?

Yes, its in the Adepticon preview

That thing is basically the WHFB equivalent of a manbearpig but I kind of like it regardless! (no sarcasm) The most important thing though is the triumphant return of the pumbagore although sadly not in the clearly most superiorest of all time finecast material. (heavy sarcasm)

As someone who has never held Pumbagor in their hands - and doesn't think he's seen one IRL - I do have to ask one question.

Is the model actually as bad in person as the pictures make it out to be?

It is indeed a model most foul. I have one in my collection and i can assure you, it is hideous. (At least in my opinion)

Beastmen may also be getting a warhound handler, but this time with M7 so can keep up with them!

Yes.
Made worse if it's fine cast & you've had to invest the time in cleaning it up.

I can assure you that the metal one isn't any more pleasant to clean up.

I disagree.
With the metal one it was just the usual trimming of the flash & some odd sharp bitz. A little worse than some models of the time, true.
But....
When I cleaned up one of the finecrap versions some years ago? There was so much resin all over it that needed removing that I could've sworn I was the sculptor whittling this thing out of raw material.
And the reward for all that work? A poor looking model made of an inferior material. :(

I was hoping the piggy would get redone but since it didn’t, I’ll purchase three (maybe 4 if i want a chariot) only because they are in metal and not finecrap. Fellow Beastmen player in my community has several in metal and he said they weren’t terrible in metal. But he avoided them like the plague in finecast.
