Update from the store I got my SB boxed set from:

"Due to the bank holiday weekend, our couriers will not be collecting over the weekend of 18th to 21st April. This means there will be a slight delay in dispatching your order within the expected timeframe for release. Please rest assured, that as soon as the courier collections start again on Tuesday the 22nd, we will get your order sent out as soon as possible.

Please accept our apologise for any inconvenience this delay may have caused."



I don't blame anyone for this - I really don't
But gosh darn it are the gods of fate messing with me in stretching out those new vampires getting in my hands!

Element had it up front they weren't shipping until after Easter. Which is annoying, but on the flip side it gives me chance to finish the chariots and doom diver.

... I mean I should finish some of the wolves I've got at the very least.

I received my 2nd to last(I think) Stormbringer Magazine shipment today. A piece of terrain, 2 pots of paint, Bastian Carthalos and some of the new Ironjawz 'Ard Boyz.

I think its one more set of 4 magazines(77,78,79,80) and then its done with maybe a premium bonus gift at the end. I have no clue.

All in all, a pretty good deal and it was fun to get different stuff at such a discount every month. I'd recommend to any AoS enthusiast, though there were a few things that were pretty random and I'm certain that I got some stuff doubled up or mis-shipped, but it was worth it.

Here's all the Stormbringer Magazine stuff that I've painted over the past year :

Presumably the next one is going to be based around Spearhead. Which i think would actually work extremely well.

Yeah, isn't the 40K one Combat Patrol focused this time around?

Stands to reason that AoS would get the equivalent, which would probably be a bigger hit than this "season" of Stormbringer.

It's also potentially more engaging for new fans not existing ones. So should work at drawing lots of new people in if they can get several armies for Spearhead and each one the ycould choose to expand from.

What happen to the new Knight-Questor - the one with the torch? I can't seem to find him on the webstore...

Probably locked in the starter boxes for now, like the new Lord-Veritant with Gryph-Crow.

Edit: Were either ever available seperately outside of Skaventide/Starter sets? I can’t remember.

Nope. But then it took until the current ed for the knight arcanum and other one to release seperately from Dominion. Although if you want the questor, just go to ebay. He's like a fiver.

Cheers. A trip to Ebay it might have to be.

So apparently Element decided to ship today and early rather than wait. Nice.

I suspect any of the stores that got stock today will likely try to ship if they can; even if they said it would come after. Cause even if they get the parcel out today there's a decent chance it could get snarled up in the postal system and delayed until next week anyway.

Underworlds, but i'm all up for anything DoK. Also i'm digging the new fashion style under Krethusa

Those are very cool - darn it GW Why not do few new squads for DoK!

Krethusa insists all her followers wear skimpy clothing, but at least the ratio is 1:1 gender-wise.

Not sure that's a conclusion we can reach in a 4 model warband containing a single male.

This looks really cool!

Maybe it's the hair exaggerating it, but the leader's head looks a bit big to my eyes.

I like the leader model. Don't really care for the rest.

As far as the leader's hair is concerned, I think ludicrous hair has always been part of Dark Elf Sorceresses and Witch Elves. Not really my thing in isolation, but I prefer for trademark designs to stick around on new iterations, so I'm fine with it here.

I agree, could be an unfortunate angle but it really throws the model off for me.

I think its the front-on-photo and painting style. If you look at the side photo in the same shot it looks better. GW heads do tend to be one of the features they oversize on from both a "visual element on the table" and an "easier to paint" aspect.

Her hair and topnot also makes her head feel enlarged too. And yeah wild hair is something DoK are famed for - honestly I think GW are actually pretty tame with it. It's big but they've not done two-body-lengths of hair braided with razor blades in a spinning wheel of death kind of sculpt (yet - come on GW go wild!)

Rest your wallets, Soulblight gamers. Next weeks AoS release content is a WH+ lore video. Thought for sure the SBGL general release was coming, but I guess its too soon.

Get your stuff painted!

2 Things:

1. This seems like the first non-model/book pre-order weekend that doesn’t coincide with a holiday in a long long time.

2. Feels so quiet on the AoS front since Adepticon’s meagre content(comparatively) that I have a feeling this months preview is going to be huge for AoS. Thats my hope!

I was sure it would land either this weekend or next - ergo next big thing after the last 40K release.

I do get the feeling that GW is struggling a bit with its own success and rate of new models being added - eg there's a new model for Middleearth that was previewed as a tie-in for the new animation that was shown off last Christmas that still isn't out and the Soulblight also feels delayed when GW preview windows are normally around 3months for all the things to release.

Hopefully GW just needs a few slow weeks with nothing new going out to get back on course.

Hoping the Idoneth get the soulblight/gitz treatment and get like 4-5 new kits. They need a boosting.

Don't you love it when they do updates, but don't bother to announce it?

Here we go, rattle me bones is full on next week:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/iupolkdl/sunday-preview-bloodsuckers-and-barrow-kingdoms/

Ooph, it looks like there’s no new Soulblight spearhead box yet to match the new rules.

Yeah I was surprised at that too - would have thought they'd have got that out alongside the new models. Still nice to see the original spearhead sticking around as its still a great set (vargheists excepted cause they aren't the best of models but not terriblebad)

Still just means I can wait for the spearhead and pick up dragons and stuff first!!

There's a Deathrattle one in the book, but they never release them alongside the main release. They want you to buy the more expensive individual kits before they release it a couple of months later. We're still waiting on the Gitz one.
