Lots of good stuff in there, overall. Will be interesting to see what they've done with Apocalypse, although I'm expecting it to be eye-wateringly expensive, and it seems somewhat redundant to make an even more simplistic system for mass battles when that's already what they've done to 40K...
The AoS dwarves continue to be fantastic. I wish I had a reason to buy them.
Slaanesh stuff is up! Honestly, the Prince is a letdown (I was SURE they’d bring Azazel in since he hates Sigmar so much), and I already have the Masque in metal. Love the KoS except the head; and I’m sure we’ll get alternate heads. Already an option shown to have more than 2 claws and possibly a shield. Still holding out for a whip option too. And I’m sure there will be a unique character. The mirror thing is awesome, but the faces are a bit goofy; might swap them out.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.
Anyway, the War Cry stuff looks great. The Fyreslyer stuff is whatever (although the terrain piece solves a rumour engine thing from a while back). Slaanesh stuff is pretty good over all (mirror/portal girls have dumb faces). I'd prefer a different head for the KOS, otherwise it's fantastic.
As for 40K? Well, the tagline for Apocalypse III should be "You think the FoC means nothing in 8th? You ain't seen nuthin' yet!!!". Apocalypse II was an absolute mess where everything went from variable formations like "3 to 8 Monoliths" to "Take 8 Monoliths". Who the feth owns 8 Monoliths? It was peak Kirby-era GW that expansion. Hopefully this can improve, but I see no new minis/terrain, so who cares?

Hey look at me and how right I was.
That's... not a good thing.

Yeah, that was certainly a surprise. Nice enough, although the pose really highlights how absurdly proportioned terminators are, since there is no way his arms actually connect to his torso... his left armpit is level with his cheek.
So the Warcry does have a chaos ogor and duardin (though we suspected that from the older pics)
I'm groovin on the Iron Golems. There are a ton more than just the six we initially saw. Which is even better, though the price will be pretty high most likely

Warcry is the first and only new fantasy stuff GW has done which has actually intrigued me (I correct myself, I bought the Shadespire Skellingtons for dungeon crawls, they're great).
AoS has been absolutely mega-lame...but this Warcry aesthetic/feel is doing things. I approve.

Indeed. It looks pretty terrible, lol.
They are perfectly capable of making indomitus pattern terminators look correct. Some of the Deathwing terminators have arms that actually come out of the body (even if they still have heads way too far forward). As it stands, though, most look like crazy astartes torture chambers where their limbs are dislocated and just crammed into them and their heads are removed and reattached between their pecs.
Sylvanneth vs Gloomspite box is coming too. I'm guessing the gloomspite won't get a new character, but it would be a great way to give the Sylvanneth something new.
And the people that said the gargoyle imps from Warcry were Furies were correct. So, also plastic furies. woohoo.

I'm actually getting a bit interested in the Warcry stuff. It gives me the old warhammer chaos vibes a bit, like the nomadic chaos tribes in the northern old world.
Anyone able to identify the other 9 warbands? Gloomspites, Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz...I'm guessing Daughters of Khaine, Legion of Nagash, and maybe Deepkin?
Someone should link the Fifty Shelves of Grey trailer here as well, so everyone can enjoy it. Oddly fitting with the reveal of Slaanesh and really well done. I'm guessing it may lead to airbrushes? Something along those lines that would make painting easier.
plus a very funny video announcing what i reckon will be new coloured primers but i don't know how to link the video.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

Gloomspite needs a plastic Madcap Shaman, a plastic Loonboss with a Giant Cave Squig and a plastic Loonboss on a Giant Cave Squig for existing warscrolls.

From the look of it, I am guessing it is a wider range of rattle can base coat primers. After all, Vallejo just released theres.
Vallejo tends to follow GW's lead in some ways. I see their new spray paints as a response to the colored spray paints GW and Army Painter already have.

Sorry, Ibydibbydo, but I don't see any old Marine releases there.
I see a Terminator, and it's high disingenuous to try and call that an "old Marine" release. Still ain't see a regular power armour Marine since Primaris came about.

I'm counting it XD
After all, we haven't had a non Primaris Marine model in years. Kind of funny to be excited for another exclusive marine model, but I'll take what I can get
That old-style terminator looks like something out of Warcraft 3. The proportions on those guys look like such a mess nowadays.
In order to make him look taller, they've stretched out the connection between the torso and the legs, but it just looks like someone glued the torso too far back.

well yeah if by old marines you mean "we've not had a tac squad in awhile"
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two
