Sorry if I'm *really* late to the party, but is Nighthaunt only going to be what we've seen so far or is it going to incorporate some of the older stuff too? I guess I'm asking if it's a completely new thing or if it builds on stuff we already had.
I'm trying to find someone local to split the starter box with. Not going to say I'm finally picking up AoS, but I'm going to give it the 'ol college try.
One of them filthy casuals...

Just something people may be interested in, but AoS got a four page article spread in the new issue of SFX this month. Talking about the new edition, reactions about ending WFB, the models etc. Looked like an interesting read from what I was able to skim.

The Flying Ram look pretty good, the female one is kinda meh, doesn't look any better than the non-hero version from the trailer. Actually I think the non-hero one look better.

In what way? If anything, these two models are less grandiose than the stardrake or celestant prime. I still love them though.
I think, one day, everybody who complained that Stormcast are just Space Marines will eat their words. They'll be all like, man, I wish Space Marines were as cool as the Stormcast. If only I wasn't so blinded by my rage, I might have appreciated them earlier. And oh, I said some unnecessarily mean things to people who that liked them. For the first time in internet history, I should apologize for being mean and wrong. And then, boom, world peace. Thank you Stormcast Eternals!

Fair play. I'm assuming that this is going to be like the Nighthaunt cavalry we've seen, where the box can build a hero too.

I really like the Dracoths and the Stardrake, but I really REALLY like the Tauralon and Dracolines. I think the thing I like the most is that these are neu-mythical creatures, as in, not based on standard Greco-Roman mythology. I am bored with Pegasi and Chimera and whatnot. I also love that these new beasts look more chaos-y, because, for me, Sigmar is basically a Chaos god (he's more like a God of Law, which is just as bad, in Elric of Melnibone, which is where all GW's Chaos stuff was swiped from anyways).

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I personally loathe the Dracoths, and it's largely because of their stupid mouths, which always struck me as an anatomy error on the sculptors' part, on top of pretty bleh poses. This new pegasus shares the same face problem, as nice as the rest of the critter is. The stardrake dodges the issue with a more developed head - also I just discovered there's a closed-mouth version? Whoa.
For me the gryph chargers are where it's at for Stormy mounts, especially the Lord-Aquillor's with the Lord-Arcanum's in second, and love the dynamism of the units as well. There's still a ridiculous chance I make a gryph charger army, simply on the strength of those chocobo mounts.
But yea, of these two new beasties I really like the cat-lizard. Nice subdued pose and decent anatomy.

Well for the base maybe not the best part but it's clearly 50% of their greatness (like Reikenor's base with skeleton angel statue !!).
