Probably the best SC i've seen so far. Good proportions, great face mask, no silly lightning ornaments. Those stylized flame/comet ornaments work a lot better imo.

This is probably just me, but it feels like a nice thought for those who live with Dementia( Alzheimers? ), and their carers. I think they'd go well in the Cities of Sigmar battletome, rather than the Stormcast one.
Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

so the old SCE were phased out because the range was to bloated with the same but different models, and we get them back as the same but different models
so instead of Sacrosanct being a little different to Liberators, we now have those who are a little different to Liberators
yeah, models look better than the others, but also Sacrosanct did on release, so I guess we see them removed next Edition

Amazing! Was so/so about the new Liberators as they were "just" Vindicators with hammers, but these are so much more Warhammer than the old range was. Much closer in feel to John Blanche's original Stormcast concepts.

Bloat means they can only add more SCE if they delete same number of SCE... so in short, yes to be removed soon.
Its not about bloat and never has been its about making all range limited from now on.
Models dont look better sorry, just a busier variation of what was already New in therms of GW minis... We dont talk Sacrosant anymore dude thats soooo 6 years ago.
Damn, some of you are real pessimists. I think they look great (if a bit complex), and the sculptors' skills have advanced since the first, chunky Stormcast. As for the little human dude, that's cool, too! I know some people don't like the more grimdark turn they're taking, but I don't think the entire army being human dudes is going to happen anytime soon.
The thing about 40k is that no one person can grasp the fullness of it.

Unlike Primaris, the standard base size for Sigmarines is 40mm. Some models used to need it. Others not so much. The first female Sigmarine from Underworlds fits on a 32mm base fine, see below. But 25mm isn't viable.
Thanks for the correction and I should have said 32mm. For some reason, I was assuming they were standard on 32mm instead of 40mm.

Sanguinia or Lorgaria, as that's a female Stormcast.

They...

If GW wants to double down on strong female characters, they should really find someone who can sculpt faces that convey those attributes visually. Or just keep the heads from some of the model lines they've discontinued!
