Think I prefer the Palantir on the plinth.

As far as I can see between the two Skinks they use different arms (and staff), legs and heads so as long as there are also two torsos inside you could build a Starseer with the seated Skink and use the standing version as a Skink Priest on foot

One sat peering into the palantir looks like he’s on the bog, reading something whilst he drops the kids off at the pool.

Almost looks like if you build the "Ponder the orb" pose, you have enough alternative parts to assemble the other one as a Starpriest?

Probably not lucky enough to have a second torso, but it looks like everything else about it is unique.

EDIT: Not ninja'd, just slow

You could probably convert one of the floaty-cylindry-things on the bottom of the palanquin into a TP holder without much effort

Starpriest Bok'rol

Beautiful model! I think that I like the standing one more.

Multiple head and pose options? The new seraphon update will be incredible. Glad there’s no clear plastic stand though I wish the palaquin was a bit higher up

Looking good. What's the total number of kits shown now Vs what's left in resin/old to be updated?

Kroxigors, Eternity Warden, Saurus Oldblood (still on the site, while a plastic Saurus Oldblood exists, though its derpy), and Razordons(assuming no dual kit with the Salamander)

Man, that Lizardmen range is really getting cooler and cooler!

Am I right in thinking all the Seraphon reveals for this wave have been resculpts from Finecast (or older plastic kits), but we have yet to see any new unit choices?

Nope. We have seen new unit(or two. Don't recall every release as i don't play seraphons)

He's neat, and looks like if you build the sitting one you can also build a whole other standing model to put on its own base.

Not bad. Not exciting, either.

It adds to the awkwardness of that scrying rule. "Guys, I know you're being stabbed to death by dirty rat men, but indoor voice, hey? I'm trying to contemplate my ball here. I'll let you know what all signs point to in a minute."

Dammit, now I have to get one just to paint the Orb up as a magic 8-ball.

Its beyond my ability, but I'm going to have a commission painter paint it like Ernie Mccracken(Bill Murray)'s ball from the end of Kingpin.

One of the better micro-modellers needs to give it light and sound effects:

I was bored enough to go back through WHC and have a look. Looks like one new unit, though you could stretch it to be a re-imagining of an old OOP unit.

Skink Starseers
Spawn of Chotec (or Salamander, to you or me)
Saurus Astrolith Bearer
Slann Starmaster
Raptadon Chargers (new)
Saurus Warriors

Very nice!

Expectation is that we'll still likely see new Kroxigor and Cold One Riders, and everything other than that is a surprise.

This was a surprise, so much so that yesterday I even bought the resin starseer thinking 'no way this will be updated' and lo and behold!

Kroxigor is my big hope at this point. They've languished for a long, long time. The last metals (turned resin) weren't even all that great at the time.
GW has a bad habit of skipping a really needed kit in these big updates.

Lizardmen refresh just goes from strength to strength.

Let's hope they nail the new Kroxigor minis.

Obr and soulblight battletomes dissapeared from the shop. While not conclusive does suggest them being spring death tomes.

Hopefully fec at least gets something more than just a hero then.

I’m still holding out hope for an updated Skinks unit…

Not 100% reliable, but they’re sold out at least in the U.K., so hopefully we’re getting plakky ones.

It's a nice model. But I'm not sure what to make of the sitting variant, especially the head.

Thing is when armies get attention like this, the current stock can do a nosedive because people get enthusiastic for the army again and the potential for updates causes those who have existing models to rush out and complete sets/collections/units. Even if the models get replaced with generally agreed upon, better versions, many people still like having complete units of the same appearance/design.

They'll have the McDonalds crew that did the Minotaurs handle them. After all if they can design big models they should be able to do big lizard dudes.

Given their popularity I suspect they will. Even at the least a new varghulf would be far more substantial than some rando on foot.

Mostly resculpts, and I suspect they'll sell better than any new units would. Quality resculpts of classic units have been very popular in my experience. I think the 'forgotten factor' is people get hyped for some cool new unit, then unhyped when they look at 10-20+ year old sculpts for core troops.

At any rate, there is one new unit of Skink cavalry, though as others have mentioned it is a spiritual successor to units which existed in the past. Technically split into two units but they look to be the standard division of weapon options rather than distinct.

Saurus knights also sold out online. Maybe sign of plastic version coming, maybe store bugging again. We'll see.

(could also be sign of reboxing)

Slaanesh and Khorne on preorder next week...
