What's great is that if you want to unique versions of the leader, the Mistweaver Saih from Warhammer Quest is a great stand in. Just with less rough looking weapons, and more mist, less wavey capes.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure they ended up making her cost 30$ like all solo warhammer quest characters, for reasons unknown.

She's a lot bigger than people seem to think. She fills out the 32mm base fairly well.

These are awesome. I know I’ve said before but I wish they’d waited til they had unique warbands like this before they added non chaos stuff to the game.

This was genuinely a cool preview, much better one than the last two.

We got a new faction for AoS shown, along with a character model for another one, a new expansion for BSF, a very cool new Necron, a unique Inquisitor, a new Blood Bowl team (though a strange choice), and an excellent new Warcry band. Even cooler is it shows that the Warcry team is willing to make new non-Chaos models specific to that game- that’s a huge development.

The Shadowstalkers were a very pleasant surprise. Looking forward to seeing more of them and what else Warcry's 2nd season has in store.

Personal hope is a Wanderers oriented warband from Ghyran, bringing back Waystalkers/Waywatcher styled characters.

Totally not my aesthetic. They are technically well done but I feel like I cannot judge them well because I am so apathetic to their style. Pretty sure that's just me.

Ooh. Liking the blending of the segments on those... cloaks, I guess? Solid minis.

I may be alone on this one but the main
thing I would like for Warcy is 4 Chaos Gods specific warbands.

It will be interesting to see them painted in standard DoK colours with shadow capes and spells as well. I think part of what is making them stand out is that the artist has clearly gone for a non-traditional DoK scheme at the same time as having new units with a new design approach.

Well there's a nice surprise, more Warcry and first models for a new faction to boot.

I do fear that 99% of us will fail to paint the "glowstick art" convincingly.

Lumineth warband rules will be in Mays White Dwarf issue 454 the rules might beat the models to release

White Dwarf 454 pushed to last week of June.

Small Lumineth preview featuring Mages, Alarith Stoneguard, Auralan Sentinels and Auralan Wardens

Anyone else think that spearman on the second floor is compensating for something?

Hahahaha his normal sized helmet.

"That's not a spear, this is a spear!"

A block of elf pikemen could look cool, but I'm not entirely sure this is the right game for that.

"We are going to be fighting in close quarters among ruins? Let me get my 12-foot pike!!"

Have fun trying to manipulate THAT model into position anywhere. I remember that from my Confrontation: Age of Ragnorok spearmen, and those were even shorter.

It is more like he's trying to hit a pinata

Indeed quite a bit longer than the already long ones shown in the preview! Could be a pike upgrade, or a conversion done for Warcry.

Are they though or is it just the angle as we get a full side on view from the warcry image.

Yeah... judging by the proportion of the spear/pike behind and before the shields in the older pics, I think these are unmodified.

It's not a nope-out for me, but I'm a bit more resolved about multibasing them.

Anyone else having flashbacks to snapped pikes on LotR uruk-hai?

Don't get me wrong; in unit form a spear of that length is totally appropriate (and dare I say... realistic). But in Warcry it becomes rather absurd, even beyond the normal boundaries.

But it’s most likely the only option the unit has and it’s the core unit of the army so it was gonna be in Warcry.

Well some of those pikemen have back-up sword on their back so they could end up being more versatile then you think.

Anyone complaining about long spears in a fight have not seen enough classic kung-fu movies.
Check out Fong Sai Yuk for awesome spearfights.

Also, will be really nice to have that extra range.

The one in the WarCry photo seems to be one from the second or third 'rank'. Might be that there's an upgrade in the unit or there's a collapsible mechanism that we'll find out about via the fluff.

Could also just be the POV in the Lumineth Lowdown photo that makes it look like they're shorter than they are.

Or the spearmen just realize you don't have to hold the spear at the end .

Has anyone else read Light of Eltharion rules off the community site? He is something to be seen. 7 wounds three up save with no modifiers 4 attacks at 2+ 3+ -2 (I think) and damage D3. Ops -3 rend my mistake

EDIT: Wrong thread!

I've mistaken the Warcry thread for the Age of Sigmar thread myself in the past. I'd imagine the mods would prefer us to continue this discussion in the appropriate thread.
