One servo skull is for loading the gun, the other is for toting a 6 pack of brewskies she can get into with that can opener leg of hers. Epic party trick back at the Inquisitorial fortress. Slays them every time.

It will probably be a bit more (5 new models compared to 4 existing sculpts for Gorechosen) but hopefully not too much more.

It would also depend upon how the models in question are slated to be packaged down the road.
If it is all one frame? I expect it to be a bit cheaper.
Multiple frames? A bit more expensive. Gorechosen was cheaper because they likely figured they had gotten what they could out of those characters by that point.

Really really like the look of that crusader and the psyker. Hope I can get my hands on them but I'd rather not have to go in for the whole set.

I have to imagine those models will get rules for Blackstone Fortress pretty quick or even in the box.

Maybe these are the first character expansions for BSF and they're just getting a quick game release as well?

Either way they're impressive. I really want that Tech-Priest.

Combat Arena will certainly be popular with that Psyker in there.

Do we know whether the board games will be exclusive to certain stores in certain regions, like Blitz Bowl? Or will they be available worldwide?

I gather that the models in Combat Arena will also be part of an upcoming Blackstone Fortress expansion, so I guess there'll be an option to get their models regardless, but these games might be cool too.

Clearly GW is reading my posts.

Wow, the hits keep coming with GW at the moment. Those Combat Arena models look great.

Stormvault looks like it will contain the Farstriders and Stormsire’s Cursebreakers as models, and even in the original Underworlds blue.

Combat Arena's character sheets are making me think it's a reskin/ reworking of Gorechosen. That alone is reason enough for me to get it, nevermind the swanky new models for a moment.

Gorechosen was a hell of a lot of fun. So much fun I think I need to bust it out this weekend as we haven't played it in a while.

That new Underworlds looks like they took the ETB kits and turned them into a warband if I'm not mistaken. Not a bad re purposing.

Wow, like all the models. the primaris psyker look way too much like the female genestealer leader, but still a cool model. Really like the rogue trader.

Seems like these boys and girls will eventually have rules for BSF

That's literally how Underworlds was first created. The Shadespire models were originally ETB kits that they made a game around.

that is what I thought on the Psyker as well.

When you look at the Psyker and the Magus next to each other, they actually have very little in common besides both being bald females.

But of course. Let's just pretend that one the most distinctitive thing on both model is not an outrageously big collar

It’s an older design, but it checks out

Sure, but apart from being a big collar they don’t even look similar. And it’s been part of each design for god knows how many years.

yeah, Apart from being bald, female psyker with outrageously big round shaped collar they look nothing apart.

And huge round shaped collar is not something that is common on primaris psyker

It is on the original model:

Curious to see if these games will also be available here, as the description notes that "coming later this year to bookshops and selected stores", which doesn't bode well for us abroad.

If somebody had told me yesterday that I'd see a Gorechosen IN SPACE featuring a plastic servitor and a revolver-losding servoskull today...nah. Bought! If Brexit doesn't ruin everything. And it'll probably way more than Gorechosen, remember that back then the rumour was that the whole thing was thought up to get rid of excess Bloddbound characters from the middling launch of AoS. Add the Ambull pricing and I doubt it'll be as well priced.

Not that intetested in the Underworlds thing, but I guess Funko sold a...statue...or whatever they're called to my brother.

Very tempted... very.

Does anyone know are the 5 models the only ones in the box or might there be more to come?

With this and the female Rogue Trader from Kill Team, it's almost as if GW are admitting they're terrible at sculpting female faces. They're starting to cover them at every opportunity.

The female psyker from this set and the female magus as well as the female genestealer passenger for the ridge runner have uncovered faces if I recall correctly

What? I think the Magus head looks fine. Also a little bummed all the rumor engines people thought were slaanesh things ended up being all on this rogue trader.

Is it me or does she look like she's missing a servo skull from over her left shoulder? -Or is that suppose to be the skull at her foot?

I’d imagine it’s the cabling/mechadendrites from the one behind her looped behind her and up into the air like it’s swooping.

Good to see the Gorechosen mechanics coming back. Most people bought that game for the models, but it's actually a really fun game. Here's hoping the 40k version is popular and they decide to expand both versions.
