The Nighthaunt range is definitely going to be huge !

We already have 2 named-on-the-box-not-on-the-rules Characters, that work as alternatives for common Heroes (Darrakar the Story only Guardian of Souls, and now this new spirit torment).

I think Nighthaunt Gloom is going to be the hardest one to get a grip on. It seems like it dries opaque from what's been shown.

It does look like it almost does its own highlights, at least on a white undercoat. We'll have to see if they thin it with water or Lahmian Medium or use some other techniques in the tutorials.

Oh come on, Jailor? I know we crossed self parody lines a while back, but still...

You have seen the fluff for the Spirit Torment?

Holy cow, I thought we alteady saw everything but the last leader.

Big points to Nagash going all out in this war. Can't wait to see how the realms respond.

Found a little better pic on /tg/...

They remind me of Nihlakh Oxide, which I've used for everything from oxidation to ethereal flames.

Nihilakh Oxide over a white base is my go to for plasma coils and celestial energy(works a treat on Prosecutor and Knight Venator/Azyros wings). Really looking forward to messing around with the new paints.

It looks like Crawlocke the Jailor there is meant to be shown off as something akin to Lord Felthius--he'll have special rules in the box, maybe even points, but the general idea is for an alternate version of the boxed set character on the cheap.

This is kind of a dumb question, but I can't really find a listing anywhere. I want to get scenic bases for the Stormcast in the box. The infantry are on 40mm rounds? The ballista looks like maybe a 50 or 60? Not sure the size for the mounted hero. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

Correct on the infantry, not sure about the ballista.

The gryphcharger from the Vanguards comes with a 90x52mm oval base so the new one should follow suit.

next week!!

Pretty much if you are a LON, Nighthaunt or stormcast player....well RIP your wallet.

That scythe spell...

Yup and from the looks of things if you are an LON player you can still use it.

The Stormcast cover art is gorg.

I just love that it targets the models it moves over. That is crazy powerful, especially now with the split unit rules.

I'm now curious as to whether they have some Endless Spells ready to go for Idoneth and Daughters of Khaine and Legions of Nagash.

Yup! I wish they'd done a limited edition Idoneth cover in that vein(no words, just the art). I think that's a good move.

It doesn't actually kill those specific models though. Still with the hordes commonly seen doing damage per model moved over is very strong.

Yeah, just re-read it. You roll for the model, but damage is applied to the unit. Not quite as powerful as I was thinking, but still really good IMO.

The nighthaunt dice are kind of a bummer. It's not like i'm going to be playing in the dark when I need to be able to read warscrolls and books. The box art for it gives away the other nighthaunt character though.

Epic, awesome, exciting.

Looking forward to the releases. The books also come with an index? Marvellous, truly the end of times.

I wonder if the army specific spells come in coloured plastic as well? Regardless they all look wonderfully bonkers Its going to be hard to not add to my backlog over the coming weeks.

A whirlwind of hammers!

Looks fun.

I just hope that GW gets endless spells out for the existing armies with battletomes - I'd love to see what Daughters of Khaine get access to!

Does it say anywhere what the hourglass does? I really hope it is something interesting and not another variety of a moving ball of death.

So the starter set really does supply four of a unit that comes in tens...
