Now, aside from Albion--a FineCast Cold One sold by itself. Huh.



And just for Alpharius...



Prices are:
$15.25 for the Truthsayer/Dark Emissary.
$16.50 for the Cold One.
$24.75 for the Fenbeast.
$35.50 for the Taurus/Lammasu both.

There's also sets of dice for each Lore of Magic, $9.90 each.

So you mean ... the WD was actually saying the truth???

Interesting..............

I'd seen the magic dice listed on spreadsheets (not sure what use they'll really be, I don't even use the cards anymore, just the mini rulebook lore entires).

I really like the first 3 models, they don't look like they correspond to any of the warhammer races, though?

Because they do not.

They were for the Albion campaign, with Truthsayers working alongside the 'Good' races and the Dark Emissary working alongside the 'Bad' races.


Kroothawk: right about what?

So that's why the came down so hard on Raging Heroes? The lamassu is an embarrassment. I wouldn't want my name anywhere near it. They should have put forth the extra effort and resulted it instead of just reprinting it.

On a mote positive note, the second and third models look great. How old are those Albion figures?

...the cold one looks cool, but at $20 for a single pose it seems kind of stupid. I can't see any reason to buy just one, and no one in their right mind would spend all that money on a full unit of them (as replacements for their derpy saurus mounts I assume).

Dinosaur and winged bull are my favs.....and I couldn't even tell ya why. I mean, is it a magic dinosaur?

That is one ugly beastie on the bottom

Albion stuff is well albion stuff, no real use if you already have them

I think I figured out why, and it all comes down to the fact that there's two riders able to be made from the Black Dragon.

It boggled my mind for a bit too, until I remembered that.

About listing the releases and release dates for this month. (well except the release date for the dice you didn't mention).
And wow, a second wave of releases after only one week! Guess if one item is shipped one day late, does it make a third wave?

BTW the single cold one is for representing the cold ones without a mount as featured in the SoM book, wild herds of animals look odd with saddles. Too much work to resculpt all 5 of them though for this little gimmick.

Look again--it's at the bottom, with the prices. I should probably have put up pictures of them but I think everyone knows what dice look like

It's worrying. It looks like the release blackout is true, and that worries me a lot.

Yeah, everyone knows the new products, only the old rereleased products are worth showing

They're dice, Kroot. Dice you madman!

Is it really news since all of this is in the White Dwarf that was released two weeks ago?

Yay. More Failcost. How 'bout some more single-frame plastic characters?

All but the dinosaur looks like old metal crap from back in the day.

Agree entirely though not quite so keen on the third thing, would rather use a Tor Games Oracnar.
That Lamassu at least makes me laugh even if for the wrong reasons. Looks like Taz's head has been stuck on a bull's body.
It is doubly outrageous they stopped Raging Heroes putting out their excellent sculpt for a mutated Looney Toons.

The second figure I like muchly.

I was going to get Cold Ones for my Lizardmen, but not at that ridiculous price. 2 in the pack and I'd consider it.

Why is there a dinosaur in storm of magic? It isn't any kind of mythical beast. Even in the warhammer world there are cold ones all over the place in dark elf and lizardman armies. They aren't really rare or magical at all.
unless... it isn't just a dinosaur, its a dinosorcerer!

I'm glad they brought back the Dark Emissary. It really is a fantastic model - I currently use one as a Chaos Sorcerer.

The Lamassu is ridiculous. Its an insult to the Raging Heroes lamassu that they lawyered out of production.

Why would someone buy a single cold one for $17 when you can get a unit of 5 for $30? Perhaps if you had a singular old character on an old one?

The dice are on the GW store: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1250257a

What release blackout? What dose that mean?

OH !

That made me laugh so hard, now I need to get one with a wizard hat.

I gotta wonder what executive thought that releasing a SINGLE cold one for 20 dollars was a good idea? Over ANY current metal model languishing on a shelf that is actually usable. Just buy a boxset of DE knights or lizardmen knights if you want cold ones THAT badly

$16.50 for a cold one............................ what on earth

Raging Heroes did the Lammasu better...

That Lamassu has got to be the stupidest gakiest thing I have EVER seen come out of Games Workshop. I liked both the Storm Raven and the Nemesis Dreadknight. But for feths SAKE. THAT IS AWFUL. At least it's fincecast, so I can lop off that horrible excuse for a head without trouble. Holy gak. I am ashamed. Warhammer Quest monstering will have to wait. Holy gak. Emperor preserve us!

Oh for feths sake.


Care to take a guess at how old the Lammasue Sculpt is? I was still in school when it was released, so I'd say around 1995, possibly as early as 1993. And you wonder why it looks a tad bland?

It's inexcusably bad! I HATE IT!

Cold ones witrh saddles dont look right when youve supposedly summoned and bound them as WILD ANIMALS.

Oh wait, mindless GW bashing...carry on.

When it costs a load in order to field a "wild animal unit" I think I'll just stick to saddles
