MORE CHOFFS!

That's a fantastic launch - bull centaurs and iron winged bull!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

But,,.not actually Chaotic?

More Morathian Naughty?

**SamusDrake**

I won't lie, so far its been a bloody good show.

**Thargrim**

Idk about those chaos dwarfs, they aren't exactly bad but they definitely aosified the hell out of the army aesthetic. I was expecting that though...and IMO they should've just put them in Old World with models based off the Total War stuff. Despite waiting forever for plastic chorfs I don't know if i'd part with my money for these.

**SamusDrake**

Can I use those as Moria goblins? I really like them!

I SEE BATS!

Warhammer Quest?

**SnotlingPimpWagon**

Votan - lame, but just not my cup of tea

Tomb kings - marvelous, amazing sculpts, first time I felt an itch to start a Tomb Kings army

Chorfs- ooooofff… what’s with the low poly sculpting style??? Absolutely hideous. FW minis were miles better a decade and a half ago. I just wish they rereleased them in plastic, Horus Heresy style release. This shown to us today is just embarrassing, mantic level 3d modelling skills. Wtf are those wings??
Just check out Shar’Tor. Art level sculpt job. Those modern Chorfs?? Generic Temu slop.

**SamusDrake**

Absolutely gushing over the Taurus kit. Great update of the 90s Great Taurus.

**mattl**

Surprised to hear that the Chaos Dwarfs are getting something for Warcry.

Not dead yet.

KURNOTHI!

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Oh damn, Kurnothi getting revisited.

**streetsamurai**

Love these Chofs. Absolutely nailed them

**SamusDrake**

Underworlds looking great.

**ScarletRose**

The Chorfs look good IMO, the only weak minis were the blunderbuss ones. I know the whole hexagonal barrel looks old timey thing but if the barrel is as big around as a 2 liter bottle it just looks weird.

I could definitely see picking up this army though.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Whirlwinds a nice nod to the original Epic and the WD “here’s some nets for you to use” 40K conversion.

**cuda1179**

Votann:

I'm definitely getting the Strategist, Evaluator, Steeljacks, Kapricus, and Buri.

Perhaps the earthshaker.

This fills out the options of the army nicely.

**MarkNorfolk**

Typhon and Mastodon!!!

**PondaNagura**

Liking the Votann releases!

Nice to to see return of Chaos Dwarves, fun unit ideas...don't care for the the aesthetic execution, feels like a mmo/mobile fantasy game in homage to warhammer. Wish they leaned into the aesthetic from the old hellcannon crew. Maybe if I see them in a different paint scheme.

Yesss! WS Grav bike

**SamusDrake**

Legions is okay but...disappointed. Wasn't worth the wait.

**MarkNorfolk**

Good selection of marine tanks and a collated army book, but a bit more would have been nice.

**SamusDrake**

Some of the 40K marine stuff is nice.

**MarkNorfolk**

The helmet is amazing and lame all at the same time.

**mattl**

How much do we think the helmet will cost? $150?

**MarkNorfolk**

Loving that Necron wall terrain.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Marine characters are nice.

Lysander? Ain’t broke, don’t fix. Just embiggen.

White Scar is the best one.

**cuda1179**

Deathwatch:

Primaris with Frag Cannons, Infernus Bolters

And a Heavy Intercessor with underslung grenade launcher!!!

**SamusDrake**

Tomb World is decent. Deathwatch - along with Harlequins - are in their element at the skimish level.

**LunarSol**

Surprised the Deathwatch are basically the same. Don't massively need these, but I'll probably pick them up eventually. Glad its not a complete redo but a little surprised they're not more in line with that preview video.
