Just one more week before WD week And one more week before my much needed time off, couldn't be a better week.

You think we would see the canoness in there if there is a sisters tease at the end of the month? I would settle for a picture of the pencil used to draw the outline of the silhouette for the canoness tease.

Haha. Well I hope we get a bigger tease than that! If we're getting plastic sisters.

But quite possibly a back page teaser at the very least.

I'm not sure about an actual picture of a plastic SOB. That might break the interweb.

Clearly the proper tease for a SoB release would be a bunch of blood-drenched Grey Knights.

Or blood drenched anything. Or one of the metal models painted as one of the different orders

It begins!!

Next Made to Order: https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1356

- Emperor's Children Lord
- Sorcerer with plasma-pistol and staff
- Lord of Khorne with axe
- Juan Diaz Daemonettes (10)
- Juan Diaz Daemonettes on Steeds of Slaanesh (5)

A few years age I would have been interested in the Juan Diaz but now I have more than I know what to do with. Should sell them 120 I have...

Reaaaaaaaaaaally want to know what's up with those premium start collecting boxed before I go out and buy other things

I'd like a start collecting black template with a tactical squad, 10 scouts and a plastic emperors champion.

Me too. I'm building Sylvaneth at the moment. I was gonna get a start collecting box for the Tree man and BranchWych (I have enough Dryads but more won't hurt when they're effectively free). However I refuse to buy anything until I see what's in the Big Box. Fingers crossed for a second Treeman kit and some Tree revenants.

I doubt you'll see any kit released in the past year in Megaforces.

Well if the rumour that there's a Sylvaneth megaforce is true, they haven't got much choice. Either they put in the modern kits or they release a box with 60 Dryads and a Treeman.

They have already released recent kits in the start collecting boxes, so why not these too?

In other news, Fenris part 2 with assorted minis will go on preorder from November 25th. I have updated the first post.

A user on faiet has some info about the new sets. They said:
Local store had Christmas catalog in which said they would be available 03.12.16
Sigmar was stormcast,iron jaws,bloodbound and sylvaneth from memory. And price was £100.
Iron jaw box was 10 brutez, 3 gore grunters, 1 shaman, 1 mega boss on foot and a giant (Aleguzzler Gargant I think)

Those sets come to £175 individually. When combined with the regular start collecting set it is 1500 points for £150. Not bad.

Every year, for as long as I can remember they have put out boxed sets for Christmas.
There was an amazing Tyranids one, a fantastic Eldar one, there was the one with three Tree Men Ancients and dryads for Wood Elves..
Why is this coming across like something shocking and new?

I don't think the phrase 'not bad' equals shocking. Should we not give praise for a good thing just because it is not unique?
To answer your question. Gw usually does a couple of big boxes each year. If this rumour pans out there will be 8 this year. More is good.

They started around 2006 or so. I got the first two, SM and Tau. CSM next year, and more recently DE and Crons.

Hm, I was kind of hoping they'd do one for each of the Alliances. Gargant doesn't make much sense in an Ironjawz box, but I guess it's not too illogical. We'll see soon.

Man, this year sure will be something if Plastic Sisters start coming out in December.

2016: Year improbable. Brexit, Trump, Plastic Sisters.

Between the Thousand Sons and Sisters and Christmas, I'm gonna be broke as gak in January...

So what 1ksons do we have confirmed?

And in the realm of video games we have both Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian coming out. Both ten years in the making.

This one looks like it has run its course then?

Please continue to talk about the specific GW releases in the specific GW releases threads in the relevant sections of the forum - thanks!
