Warseer, via the poster Kurl Veranek:

Hey Guys I'm the Austrian guy who got the WD early so here are the pics:

Btw:

Khorneriders are rare

Slaaneshriders are special

Scylla gets worse looking every time he's sculpted.

The Warshrine's a pass, too. I'll stick with my converted one.

'Crushers look good, though, as does Valkya.

I can't see 'em.
Care to post please?

Everything is a massive "meh."

Ninja'd.

Please anyone, post :(

Not too stoked about these. The Khorne models look great (the Juggs and Valkia), but the rest not so much. It doesn't look like much work went into the Hellstriders; looks like the exact same Steed sculpts from the Seeker and Chariot sets. Festus and the Shrine are ok but a bit un-evil in a goofy sort of way, or at least that's how those paintjobs and that background makes it look anyway. Scyla is absolutely ridiculous, easily the worst model GW has put out in awhile; looks like a cross between the Hulk and Hellboy, and I mean still ink on the paper.

Even worse, the riders just look kind of plopped on. They're awkwardly posed with absolutely no indication how they're staying on the Steeds(especially with all of them having their legs splayed out like that) much less guiding them. The Crushers at least have stirrups on their feet, even if they're lacking reins.

Hmm, I love the new Skull Crushers. Those models have reduced the price of a 40k concept army I've been kicking around for a couple years now, by about 2/3.

And from the top rope, Scyla drops the elbow! He is a definite improvement over the previous version. Though he seems more demon prince than spawn. Cool model, though not $50 US cool.

Only other models I can make out clearly are the Juggers. All the components from the Lord on Jugger are there make the finecast model redundant.

Valkia and Festus are too blurry to make out :(

The shrine is wtf, which is good for chaos. Big fat four legged babies have sorely been missing from Chaos for too long. Want to see some clearer pictures as there appear to be a lot of potential bits there.

Even blurry, the steed riders are underwhelming. Really just look like they took the marauder horsemen riders and stuck them on the steeds.

Chaos has no need for reins.

That's worse than "A wizard did it".

Lots of nothing for Tzeentch players here. Valkia is cool, hopefully the warshrine has enough options to make it look decent.

Everything else is meh.

If the second wave of models isn't top notch, I'll end up scrapping my plans for a Tzeentch army.

I love the fact that a terribly weak model like Scyle gets even WORSE due to now being giant-sized.

Well played GW!

Shrine and Slaneesh riders easily go into the "worst minis GW ever produced" category. Those are god-awful!

Thanks buddy!

Valkia is cool, Festus is Festus-like (meh, that is) and Scyla is imrpoved IMHO.
Slaanesh guys are nothing for me, but they seem allright.
The Khorne knights are cool.
The warshrine, meh. Bit Tzeentch-y to me.

Noticed that too: in addition to being a worse sculpt, he also doubles in size every time.

The original dogface is still the best one.

So the vaulted knights of khorne ride the juggernauts but a bunch of marauders get to ride slaanesh's holy steeds?


Seems odd to me, I'd have hoped for some elite chosen slaaneshi knights, like the slaanesh lord on boobworm.

The slaanesh mounts probably have something to stick into the marauders, just for the pleasure in it

Are those Crushers the same as the ones with Bloodletters on them but with different riders?

That Festus dude is cool, I would get him as a counts as epidemius because I hate that model.

Well that's another GW release where I won't need to spend any cash on

Yes, it seems the plastic juggers seem to be the same as the Bloodletter ones.

They're gorgeous. Oh why the CSM couldn't get an unit of juggernaut riders? It would've been glorious.

Chaos in both Fantasy and 40k has been disappointing.

What's going on over at GW?

Well I don't know about anything chaos but I reckon it would serve as a great base to make a kickass Ork warboss from.

Scyla looks as if someone at GW took a peek at PP site. Not a fan.

The warshrine has an awful paintjob, but it's a neat concept with lost of cool bits and potential.

Steed riders look like a random conversion rather than an actual production kit.

The Jugg riders are okay I guess, I'd still rather get the base Juggs and convers some proper saddles for these guys.

Valkia could be good, she's way to blurry to judge.

Might be NSFW


Seems likely.

Sad panda here the slannesh riders just dont look right, shrine looks like it could be made to be pretty cool and I am avoiding everything Khorne.

... i think i'm gonna be sick.

I take it back.

I don't want any of that for my Chaos Space Marine army.
