Does this mean that this will be the new Daemon Prince kit?
No. It just means that you can choose to build it with e.g. Stormcast trophies or Space Marine trophies or without both. It's not a new generic DP kit, although I certainly hope we receive one having seen what they can do
Yeah, I assume they mean primaris on base, chaos warrior on base, or nothing. But the model will definitely be AOS or 40k themed, based on the skulls you hang on his wings (plus there's way more little details on his base that connect them to either game), so I'm not sure what they mean by "neither"
Most of the trophies are just generic (in fact, with a quick glance, I can't see anything on the AOS build's wings that isn't appropriate for 40k), and the only setting specific pieces on the base are a sword/the dead body/a handful of easily removed pieces, so I'm very confident the kit can be built in a way that caters to both settings, which would qualify as the "neither"

So at GW's insane** exchange rate, that'll probably be over $300AUD? If so, screw that. It's a nice model and I'd like it, but it's not $300 worth of nice. Is he about the size of a Bloodthirster?
**insane because GW's GBP to AUD exchange rate seems to be about 2.8 AUD to 1 GBP, even though the actual rate is closer to 1.8 and has been for the past decade, and other than a brief spell during the GFC you have to go back almost 2 decades to find when it was last close to 2.8.
I think I’m actually wrong, which I’m happy about. Looking at other stuff costing 110 euro, the greater daemons are that cost, and are $170AU. So potentially he’s okay.
Sorry I'm an idiot, I read it as 110 pounds, 110 euro is a bit more reasonable.
Though the most recent 110 euro release I could find came out at $210AUD, so maybe still a bit worse than the $170AUD you're thinking?

They've already posted the painting tutorial for Be'lakor and he is pretty much the size of a Greater Daemon (as expected).

Yeah potentially. I shall guess between $170-220, but hoping closer to $170.

Mind you archaon would cost more if it would be released now. You can't compare old prices with new as gw keeps ramping standard up instead of yearly range wide price hikes.

Yeah I was potentially wrong. The exchange rates are wonky as hell in Aus. Some things that cost 110 euro come out at mighty prices in Aus. Potentially though it’ll be cheaper than what I initially thought.
On another note, I hope we get to see his rules for Sigmar this week, and I’m curious about his points too. Is he gonna end up closer to 400pts if he’s being tanked up?

So he's significantly smaller than greater daemons? As gd sized release kits are 110 atm. Also he's box you need just one which ups the price. Just be happy gw didn't ramp level up again.

Sure I can, see me compare them right now. GW kits have steadily lost the purchasing appeal over the last few years as they once again dropped any pretense of customer-friendly pricing and each new release is a hike. bat-man here isn't any exception.

Going by the Facebook post where he's compared to Abby's model, he's easily the same size as a LoC, which he's incidentally the same price as.

Which makes this surprisingly cheap. Newer sku and special character you can field max 1

Same as the Korxigor. If they did all that I’d start a Seraphon army instantly.

Sauruses, on foot or on derpiraptors, are one of the worst sculpts GW still produces. They need way more than "simple build bodies".

Ok. It's not Mazdamundi - but if they rework his Warscroll as mentioned and he is in fact a Wizard on the scale of 'Hahahaha, No Teclis, Stop It.' then all will be well.
Hate the fact that Seraphon are supposed to have the most adept wizards in existence and this is represented by.... +1 to cast or dispel while Nagash craps out 9+ spells a turn with +3 to both casting and dispelling, Teclis can straight up auto cast and even Morathi has bonuses to casting...

Well, as a re-imagining of a classic character, Kroak wallops it out of the park just as well as Belakor! And its nice to see Seraphon getting some justice sculpt wise in AOS, the framing of the mini is very well executed, and his tactical rocks are actually useful to give him the sense of floating.
