The only thing stopping me is Legends allocation.

A Chaos Dwarf on a Lammassu won gold in the Old World category of Golden Demon!

They're already confirmed for AoS.

Both can be true.

Old World looks to be where all the former Warhammer Forge stuff is ending up, so Drazoath and all the other stuff that came out for Legions of Azgorh could be staying in Old World, while AoS gets a full plastic spin on Chaos Dwarves.

Also, as an aside, I got my 2 Doom Diver Catapults put together and each primed in 2 pieces(the beast and support in one piece, with the catapult and platform in another). Not nearly as finicky of an assemly as I feared it would be.

I definitely wish I had waited to assemble everything once I had it all though, as I would've been able to make better use of all the head options that have come out in the newer Gitmob kits.

Notably, the chaos dwarf model in question was digitally sculpted and printed

What? Surprised GW allowed such things outside of open category?

Dunno, apparently its permissable if the painter sculpts and prints it themselves, no different than if they gs sculpted it from scratch, which makes sense.

The self sculpted one isn't surprising, but rather that it is from an army that doesn't exist

You can download their army list form the Warhammer Community site for free so them “not existing” is a bit nebulous. It’s not like TOW retconned them out of history either. Also the chorfs have always teetered on the edge of being a real army; their original rulebook was a compilation of white dwarf articles, not a properly formatted Army Book, for example.

Liberation Day!? More like Battlescroll Update Day!

Interestingly it seems as though daemons did not see the same cuts to legends that they did in 40k, despite warcom saying those kits were going oop, etc. Hellflayers and seeker chariots are not legends, nor are heralds on exalted chariots.

Kits going "out of production" could be as simple as GW changing the box contents to only include AoS stats on the assembly sheet or not boxing those models in 40K brand boxes.

Even though they are still casting and making the model itself its "out of production" as far as the tracking code attached to the box is concerned.


I would have been much more surprised to see the cuts in AoS honestly; at least cuts without replacement models. 40K kind of gets away with it because the demons are being rolled into marine forces so you "lose" on one side but gain on the other.


I see it purely as GW starting to make Demons more gameunique. Who knows perhaps this means we'll see even the regular demon models get unique sculpts in each game and somewhat of their own unique styles

Im aware, thats what i assumed would happen from the word go but their statement was that the "models" were being taken out of production and most assumed that theyd be cut from AoS as well as a result

.

Thats also true of AoS though. There is no "daemons" army in AoS, they are all god flavored armies sharing the faction with mortals and beasts, etc.

Hm, i'm rather interested in the idea of an army of nothing but bloodknights and dragons.

From the article(bolded) :

This Army of Renown has a limited roster: Prince Vhordrai, the Vampire Lord on Nightmare Steed, Blood Knights, and Revenant Draconiths.

Is that the first indication we've seen that Vhordrai is a dual kit? I don't recall seeing a generic build.

GW has shown the riderless zombie dragon option when they revealed the kit.

Nice, forgot all about it.

The big question is if we still get a generic lord on dragon or if its only the Prince and every other dragon is wild.

Doubtful, since its not included in the list I quoted. Could be a Warcom snafu, but I doubt it. One can hope!

Warcom might also just be running on what models they've got for photos - a generic lord could be in the kit and just not prepped for photos/painting so Warcom aren't "aware of it"

I think we’re clutching at straws now. If it was in the kit they’d have showed it/mentioned it when they previewed it.

Probably. But there's always a possibility it's Vhordrai's body, but there's an alternate head and weapon/shield in there. I mean, the only difference between Tornus the Redeemed and a generic Azyros is a bare head and different weapon.

Warcom preview talks about vampires enjoying their new mounts, so I'd expect an entry for a generic vampire on zombie dragon exists somewhere in the book.

It's just that Knights of the Crimson Keep have only one lord riding a zombie dragon, and that's Vhordrai.

I guess we’ll find out in two weeks? Or sooner if WarCom drops more details on us.

We have any solid leaks on this? Or just the LVO ones and the recent announcement?

Normally on pre-order weekend we get "Man reads book" videos appearing

That’s the worst case scenario. Sometimes the potatocams come out and we get early info. Like the recent Eldar book was out in the wild a good bit before release.

Champing at the bit for solid info on this release. Which is not good for the fangs…

You say worst case but we're only 3 days away

Ok, I’m stupid. Got my times mixed up.

Sunday announced
One week
Pre orders go up sat.
2 weeks
Release.

I had stuck in my head we had to wait 2 weeks before solid info. Which was killing me. Just started a Path to Glory league, really want the army book before we get to far in.

Calming down now.

It's even better - unless I've missed a mention pre-orders are typically only 1 week long

No, it looks to still be 2 weeks - the HH stuff went up on Saturday, and their launch date isn't until 12/04.

Ahh darn shows how long its been since I ordered pre-order launchday stuff!
