Wow, that Kharadron set is... kind of meh. I expected an Arknaught Company since they're the core of the army. Also disappointing to see a Gunhauler as the centrepiece, rather than a Frigate but I guess Kharadron's don't sell as poorly as Fyreslayers and their Magmadroth.

Disappointed no frigate as well, but that Stormcast vanguard one might not be a bad deal.

3 of the Palladors cavalry, looks like 5 of the Vanguard Hunters, at least 2 or 3 gryphounds, and a Lord Aquilor as well.

Considering my local shop's discount there will definitely be savings to be had.

Yeah, let's be realistic here. The Overlords is amazing if you want the models if it's a start collecting and $85 as it's $155 (Endrinmaster, Gunhauler, Balloon Dudes, and Thunderers) regular for stuff in the box.The Vanguard also at for what appears to be around $155 (Hunters, Hounds, Aquilor, and Palladors). And that box is all awesome stuff for someone who is leaning that direction for stormcast or who want to essentially add one of all the vanguard units in a single go at a significant discount.

That's assuming they are both for $85 and not $100 like the some of the more recent rando sets.

Nearly 50% off is a good call on them since that means a discount even when you remove the character most of the time.

Why?
Horticulous got released solo. She's slated to get a solo release too--but not for awhile. It'll probably be whenever the novel/novella about her gets released.


It's kind of sad but right now there are only two hero options for a Vanguard player. Lord-Aquilors and Naeve Blacktalon, and Naeve locks you into playing Hammers of Sigmar.
Hopefully we'll get a generic Knight-Zephyros(Naeve is supposedly "the first" of them) soon, and hopefully it'll come as a double kit with another Knight variant that would be a ranged assassin instead of a CC monster like Naeve and the Zephyros are supposed to be.

Since blightwar came out you can buy palladors for like 20$ on ebay, and hunters for a nickle since not very many people want them.

'Locking' into Hammers of Sigmar isn't like it would be in 40k, it doesn't do anything, it isn't a keyword, and there's no restrictions that result. Would still be better if she were generic. As a sidenote I wish they would stop releasing new character warscrolls and instead do them as alternate builds, like Slaughterpriests or Exalted Deathbringers. The Lord-Ordinator could have been a new equipment option for the Castellent, and even more obviously the named shield dude (who will never get used since he is named) should have just been a different Celestant option.

Mhm, those SCs are tasty if you have zero of the minis included The Stormcasts I'll mostly have once I buy Blight Wars, but I'll get the Kharadron one sometime. Palladors are 30€ on ebay from a quick search, so the SC would still be okay if you want the rest.

Sooo, in other news, Overlords took how long to get a SC? Maybe next year I can get a Daughters of Khaine SC, eh? Drool.

For the Neave thing. 1. Hammers of Sigmar only have rules if you pay 400pts in battalions to get them, which no-one does. In 40k it would be a bit of a problem because of buff auras and special characters but not in Sigmar And 2. If you're worried about painting her blue and gold, don't be. Do you know how many red/black/grey/rainbow guillamen I've seen on the table since he came out? Or how many allarielles painted all winterized?

Paint her however you want her to look. No one will care.

No, here "nouvelles" means "new" SC, i.e. Start Collecting ! So we should get two Start collecting the 24th of February, Kharadrons Overlords and Stormcasts Vanguards !

That's really cool.

If I had to guess though, it might be coming with Thousand Sons.

Well, yeah. I'm not saying it's not disappointing (for those who like Tzeentch). Just guessing as to why it went down the way it did. Of those three armies, I would put Tzeentch down as the one that's the least priority for GW. They obviously want to sell Sigmarines and while people have been pretty positive about the Tzeentch models, I think the dwarfs received more attention overall. That's just my impression, though. I look at the Start Collecting boxes as filler and assume they just don't want to release too many at the same time.

But of course, who knows with GW?

The issue with your theory is that Vanguard Stormcast? They're effectively treated as a 'separate army' at this point. They're in the same book as regular Stormcast, but their range and numbers required is way different to a normal Stormcast army. They're also considered fairly expensive in terms of cash for what they are. I know that I had a really hard time finding someone willing to split a Blight Wars with me so I could get the Vanguard half(before the big Vanguard box came out). Previous starter sets or things of that nature? I've been able to split multiple boxes with people and build entire damn armies. Nobody wanted to go in on this one since they all wanted to grab the Vanguard half as well since it was discounted.

It's also hilarious that they have put Gryph-Hounds into both bundle boxes for the Vanguard when they can't even take Gryph-Hounds as part of their Path to Glory rolls.

The Retinue Followers Table?
D6 Strike Chamber Vanguard Auxiliary
1 Gryph-Hounds Aetherwings
2-4 Liberators Aetherwings
3 ^ Hunters
4 ^^ Hunters
5-6 Prosecutors Hunters



As it stands, I really am thinking that the reason for no Arcanites box yet is to tie it in with the Thousand Sons release.

I'm going to revise my guess a bit as well.

1x Shaman
2x Tzaangors boxes
1x Mutalith Vortex
