Nah. AoS needs to get a dungeon crawling game with weirdly overpriced expansions.

And zoats. Gotta have zoats.

A pandemic came along to prevent people from getting one for 40k/BSF. Of course imagine what would have happened if we were a few weeks out from a release of squats or a plastic thunderhawk.

Hrm.

Wonder how much work it'd take to turn one of those AoS Gargants into a 40K Gargant...

Heeeere comes Leman Russ, finally!

Well with that GW's number of new factions for AoS since 40k's 8th edition dropped has risen to eight, on top of the steady flow of AoS compatible cool new minis from Shadespire and Warcry.

I mean this most sincerely: can we pleeeeaase swap development teams for a while? Pretty please?

What’s the number of dropped factions between the two games too though?

Giant fighting a titan, cool diorama maybe..

They could do a box of two giants fighting like that knight box they did way back..

Saw this size comparison of the giants on reddit. Didn't realise how big Nagash was!

Nagash isn’t big; he’s tall due to floating on a column of Swirly Gak™
Though, given that the new Gargant is doubtless hollow, I’m not sure he actually has that much less plastic…

Gargants in 40k being big clanking ork walkers size of around warlord titans...Quite a lot ;-)

Seeing both are just rank&file sisters...they already have rules. Your bog standard BSS or celestian squad.

There in fact are rules for a battle sister with a bolter...

Yeah two of those giants having a fistfight would be amazing. Not sure i have the space for that though ha.

True!

But never underestimate an Ork player's bitz box and the glory of "Counts-as".

Looted Gargant Gargant!

Since the release of 40k 8E? Only Legion of the Damned comes to mind, and they barely counted as a faction.

Ork Gargants range in size - the Warlord equivalent was the Great Gargant, with the Mega-Gargant even larger than that, but they scaled down to the Mekboy Gargant and Slasha Gargant, which would be closer to a Warhound or Reaver in size.

These Giant Giants look to be too small to measure up to those two, though.

Looks like the Terminators Chaplain comes with a full sculpted base. That should fit nicely among Space Marine Heroes Series 2 Terminators.

Start playing AoS? Its not just quantity you know, every AoS release is just awesome (as long as they stay away from the stormcast).

Are we counting FW lists? Because that number would rise quite a bit.

I’d say FW isn’t relevant in the original point of GW making new factions for AoS but not for 40k.
But I guess it could be argued that way to make the point.

Lets not forget most of the AoS new factions have only got a handful of sculpts each - at best half to a quarter of what many 40K factions have.

Even Genestealer Cults have more than most AoS factions that were newly born from AoS itself.


Gw has gone wide with AoS, but I'm hoping that the rush of new armies is coming to an end sometime and then they can focus on bulking up the range of models for each army. Nice as it is to have such variety; its also good when you've got your army(ies) and want more options within what you've got.

I never made the connection between giants in AOS having the same names as ork titans

I ordered the limited edition Terminator, I always wanted one!

I'm also really keen on the new inquisitor and Blackstone Fortress expansion! My girlfriend and I have been playing a lot of Blackstone, and we just beat the core game, we are both excited to continue with more adventures with our heros!

I would order the ltd edition terminator but he looks far too much like someone tried to get The Tick to wear armour. Maybe if he wasn’t so blue?

Isn't just standard Librarian blue though? Most librarians (lore wise) are that blue which I believe is a slightly lighter shade to even the Ultramarine blue.

Usually it's Macragge Blue or darker, but GW is inconsistent on the actual shade of blue...

It's a Terminator Librarian - Space Marine Librarians have been predominantly wearing blue armour for over 20 years. I can't recall seeing any typical chapters Librarians that weren't blue, even.

Fair enough! I don't play sisters no do we have a sisters player in my area afaik. Assumed they were characters of some sort :p.

True, but it’s really the combination of all the blue with that goofy screaming face. I can just hear him yelling “Spoon!”

I never saw the giants called "Gargants" before this or I would have started on it a long time ago!

But it should be doable to turn one into a 40K version for, say, the Snakebite clan. Whip up some kind of howdah/basket on the back to serve as the transport, strap some guns all over the place, leave the Thwappin' Stick for the melee option, probably get some armored plates to stick around... bit of work, but it should be good.

So the last two GW reveals had new plastic Sisters of Battle in them. Very much looking forward to the next one. MOAR PLASTIC SOB!!!
