That Ironclad...so awesome!
Some really cool stuff with this release!
I guess I'm going to finally have to take serious look at AoS...

I don't think it'll hurt to give it a shot.
Because posting images and not just links, is important.
Hear hear!
Indeed, I wonder if future novels about them will make those little fellows the underdogs or the cannonfodder? If Man-of-war and 40k fleet stories are anything to go by they won't last long.

Now imagine a cruiser, ship-of-the-line, and man-o-war classes. It would also be so cool to get like an FW style Helicarrier done to the style of the Kharadron.

Thanks for the info BrookM
Also Hastings said this:
I am expecting Skaven later this year, and as far as I know there will be "some" repacks but also plenty of nasty new additions (I seem to recall it's much more of a Skyre type affair this time around with new technologies/weapons etc.) but I wouldn't be surprised to see some new plague monk type things. These currently seem to be the favoured skaven subfactions for GW, hopefully the new book will clarify what Skaven are like in the new setting and their backstory from leaving the old world and what they've done since arrival etc.

GW are right to focus on the Skaven. They're kind of unique to their setting, unless somebody else I'm forgetting about also has rat men.
If I had one gripe with the background of AoS though, it was GW bringing the horned rat into the chaos pantheon. I always thought that the horned rat was nurgle in disguise. I'm probably wrong on that though.
But yeah, Kharadron Overlords! Remember that pic of a steampunky looking dwarf thing that we all thought would be a golem or something? Now we know it was a balloon!
When I get mine I'm doing it properly, and that includes giving the ships khazalid names. What's Khazalid for Queen Anne's Revenge?

I mean GW did not release stormfiends for no reason if they were not going to do something with the clan and considering Thanquol is riding a similar rat ogre akin to the stormfiends. It also helps that they are really popular looking at tournaments.

Prior to that D&D had were rats as a monster but I would say the skaven are a unique mix GW should get full credit for.

Hastings has made my day.
Hoping poisoned wind globadiers (sorry, acolytes) are on the release schedule.
Been planning on converting a load more bit it takes a lot of time and work.
I refuse to pay £8 odd per model when I need 30+
More so when they are ancient sculpts and limited poses.

The best ideas can come to you in a flash.
I'm looking at Clan Skyre's options on the GW site, didn't they have more? I could have sworn they had some sort of mortar.

GHR was a greater daemon of nurgle who rebelled, IIRC.
Also, it's worth of note that ONLY skaven view the GHR as one of The Four. The rest of chaos still considers slaanesh the fourth god, hence why the varanguard are still trained in the rites of slaanesh and why archaon bears the sigil of slaansh in his shield and not the GHR's.

The mortar is only in the spire of dawn set, just like the flame thrower.

Didn't Archaon spit in the GHR's face when he tired to present him a gift? And then smack him over the head with said gift?
But a rebellious demon of nurgle...see that's more interesting. I would have kept it like that. Eventually aiming to create a GHR model to rival Nagash and Archaon and Queen Nicelegs Beetle-rider.
@ terry
Is that set still available? I hate seeing good plastic models being discontinued.

Skaven were heavily influenced by Fritz Leiber from his Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and subsequent stories.
Rat men / Wererats are fairly common in fantasy as you noted, But how they have changed in AoS is unknown save for the stuff in the Plague monk book.

Yeah, that chaos pantheon that appeared at AoS' beginning had a crown in place of Slaanesh's symbol and not the Skaven symbol. The Horned rat's just a hanger on, someone else is primed to take that spot if Slaanesh doesn't take it back first.

[Edit]: Ninja'd by StupidYellow who had better detail.
There was a discussion a long time ago about a obscure novel that had rodent people want to overthrow mankind, that could've served as inspiration. No doomwheels, warpstone drugs or anything cool, though.
It'll be interesting if this all ties into the chaos power struggle. Shadowkin battling Slaanesh & Tzeentch cultists that want to free it while Skaven sneak in to make sure the GHR stays in power.

Wonderful!
Also can I say, this is why I love AoS after the rules. It's a new setting that's yet to be written and is growing before our eyes. It's not static.

Price predictions, anyone?
If the little boats cost as much as gyrocopters I won't buy any, I think. Same price as a Land Speeder Storm wozld make me buy two or three. The 10 man Grundstok box hopefully costs as much (ideally less, but who am I kidding) as the Neophyte Hybrids box. That'd be insta-buy territory. The big ship is really tempting, if it'd be Glottkin price I'd get one, but I expect Archaon+ ( btw, wasn't the baneblade released ten years ago? How much was that in £ on release?). The frigate is neither here nor there, not cute anymore but not yet imposing. If the balloon dudes are the price of a Stormboyz unit that'd be still okay, any more for three and no thanks.
The chars I don't really like, anyway, and new hero kits are sadly stuck in Bananaland-pricing, anyway.
PS: A "boardgame" with a couple of ships at 50% off MRSP or an even bigger discount would be nice, maybe we should let this release flop for the time being
