I am not sure if Admech sniper is looking awesome or stupid.

So "skitarii on stilts" was accurte

I was wondering if it would have been like a rust stalker with their robo legs, but he's straight up stiltman

That's just an odd fething ad mech mini. I was hoping for them to be a squad.

Sydonian Skatros is cool, but unless its based on a piece of artwork I wasn't ware of, GW is totally ripping off a number of independent creators with that design.

I do like the helmet options though.

AdMech sniper thingy looks creepy and cool - and a major PITA to build. Does look super fragile as well, so AdMech as usual I guess.

Shades of Dishonoured with this dude.

I think Valrak said we'd get a new Orikan too, so I guess that's another thing to look forward too. But he did say the person did not say we'd get Trazyn

The stilt guy made me do a double take, he just looks so DERP. Definitely feels like the design team did it for the memes for that guy.

Absolutely ridiculous model.

I love him! I'm going to have to convert some for my Epic 40k force!

He said Imotekh, Orikan and a generic character

Now... this guy is just silly.

'The guys from Dishonoured were cool. What if we do that but make it look like they can't bend their knees?'

I do wonder how effect snipers are, when they stand out that much

A sigmarine chaplain on a dragon.

WHY ARE STORMCAST GETTING ALL THE COOL DRAGONS!?

I can't wait to see that dragon turned into a vampire dragon

So a chaplain on a dragon.

They're constantly knocking it out of the box with dragons in AoS.

Now that's more like it.

I could not care less about Stormcasts right now, but that is one amazing Chaos Lord on Dragon. Looking great!

They mentioned this setup back in the Skitarii codex.

Codex: Skitarii wrote:Taking their inspiration from the stilt-legged seekers of the Sydonian Mask, the Tech-Priest Aldebrac Vingh perfected the Ironstrider engine in early M33.

I guess it was only a matter of time before I found an AdMech mini I don't like.

Meanwhile, in AOS:

"Do you think they'll finally show the FEC?"
"Here's a Sigmarine Chaplain on a Dragon!!!"



Cool mini though. No doubts there.

Relictor looks bloody awesome!

For anyone not remembering he was the Lord Relictor in the original AoS starter

and so the updates of the AoS 1 Stormcast begins.

That dragon will look amazing in some Blanchitsu colour scheme.

That's actually useful to see thanks. I did wonder why the hell they went for this look.

Back in the old, old necromunda stuff there's illustrations of stilt dudes that are very similar, and i think there's a Blanche vignette of one from ca. 2005 or so, that concept is very old.
