I'm curious if other dwarves will get that or if it just a slayer thing.

And here i was thinking what strange shoulder guards

So if the sprue says 2016, does that mean we won't see them for sale before 2017/18?

gak, they found the Almanach

It's cute but nothing new.

Very nice! Excited about the new dwarfs.

Wow, impressed with that sprue so far. Seems to have enough similarity to the leaping Dragon Slayer clampack model they released last year. Plenty of potential to convert it and hopefully they do a unit with similar features.

I had thought that they would have upscaled the dwarfs as part of AoS so that seems to indicate enough similarity with the existing range. Plus it doesn't seem to have gone crazy with flames everywhere which is nice. I have no interest in playing AoS, or a lot of what has been brought out so far for it, but definitely want to pick up that for one of my slayer units

Looks alright, but about 2-3 times as big as it should be. Par for the course.

Anyone starting a pool on the final price?

It is a single sprue, 32mm base most likely, so I'd guess $53 aud.

single monopose character model without 2 helmet options = 30€

I'm thinking around this too.

You can use him with or without that mask, so it's almost like having two helmet options.

I converted that 53 aud to British pounds...and my jaw hit the floor. £26 for ONE Model!!!

You guys must be millionaires or something, if GW charge that price...

No, basic economics. Aus/NZ are 12hrs ahead of the UK, so they've always got an extra half day's earnings to spend...

+ the AoS tax... so about $70 AUD

Finally, someone has explained this phenomenon!

£16/17 I think. £25 for top line.

At the very least

Wait, is it confirmed that the Fireslayer is bigger than a standard dwarf model??

Nope. I am just making an (un)educated guess as all of the AoS figures cast have been "scaled up" when compared to FB AND it's another reason for GW to charge us more

Of course not.
But that won't matter when people can complain about perceived slights!

The current plastic Dragon Slayer is $21. When taken out of his "flying through the air with the greatest of ease" pose, he's taller than the old Dwarf Warrior/Handgunner kit--but the same height as the new Hammerer/Longbeards and Irondrakes/Ironbreakers.

Cry me a river

I think you're doing that just fine on your own.

Grow a Sense of humour, please.

Ah ok! because that is exactly my fear of what they will do too :( but my fingers are crossed that it is same scale as current stunties

Any scaling up would be silly in my opinion but understandable to increase the prices as you say

He LOOKS to be the same size as the "current" crop of stunties.

The most expensive single character figure I have seen was a Tech-Librarian-Rune-Priest of Humakt Space Marine (or something) and cost £22.50.

So £26 is not beyond the bounds of possibility, but let's wait for the kit actually to be launched and then we will see.

As for size, all the other new AoS models have been a bit larger than the previous WHFB type designs, and in fact GW figures have been growing gradually for decades, that's part of their secret for cramming in astonishing detail compared to other manufacturers.

But again, we ought to wait for the figure to come out and then we'll know for sure.

Which one is that? The most expensive human-sized characters I can find are £20 (chaplain with jump pack, terminators for 40k, Lord Celestant for AoS).

edit: Oh the Tech-Priest Dominus? He's huge, in fact he's on a 50mm base. There are plenty of more expensive bigger characters, most are older releases. Farsight is £30 for example. Lots of mounted Fantasy characters for £23-30.
