Rule Number Two is Stay On Topic.

This thread is for discussing new AoS releases; not for discussing AoS or GW generally.

Hmm an AoS boardgame?
Ala DW or BaC?

Sounds like it...

Here's hoping that we get some new Tzeentchian Daemons as part of the overall line-up. Would be a nice way to throw some 40k stuff in if we're going to be seeing another 2-3 months of strait AoS releases.

**Bottle**

Knowing that Tzeentch are going to be in the board game puts me off a little. Still excited for it, but maybe it won't be the instabuy I thought it would. I was hoping for something Warhammer Quest style.

**angelofvengeance**

By the way, if anyone's going to be getting the Dracoth Knights, I did a tutorial thread in P&M for all the GW AoS(starter box) paint videos. Should help a lot.

All on here

non nurgle/khorne chaos main model line release in a box 'faints'

**Mr. Burning**

Since I have nothing warhammer except a smattering of old 4th 5th ed minis of various races a new boxed game of AoS may be tempting enough for me to throw some more notes GW's way.

**highlord tamburlaine**

You could still get a hypothetical Quest style game out of a pure Tzeentch force.

Lots of horrors, flamers, screamers, cultists, some new chaos monsters perhaps... cap it off with a lord of change?

**Chikout**

Pre orders are up on the New Zealand site

Including some nice art of the new dragon type thing. Also I think this paint scheme is much better than the gold.

Sprue Pics:

**NAVARRO**

I think this model would improve considerably with a radical change of the chest plate, as it stands it looks a bit fatty. Good thing is that the sprue have them separated.

**Chikout**

The star drake. From the digital sample.

**Chikout**

The other pic. sorry.

**coldgaming**

That's an interesting looking creature. Want to see a 360. The wings seem off to me.

**AegisGrimm**

The main model is great, but holy crap the downturned wings suck. It's like they got put on upside-down......

**angelofvengeance**

OK. NOW THAT's COOL

Err.. He's walking?

**Vermis**

Not bad, but the foreleg looks a bit awkward. Maybe it's the armour plating. Wouldn't mind a few different angles myself.

**NAVARRO**

Not a fan at all of this one. The armour is overpowering, the wings look weird but the worst bit is the neck and clumsy like pose.

Thanks for this!

I bought enough boxed sets I planned on running them as regular Knights.

And do we have to use the armor on the dragon? That is putting me off as it looks like they tried to stuff a dragon into a dreadnought frame.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Something looks off.

Maybe the wings? Hopefully the 360 will help clarify things next week.

I wonder if there will be an alternate build for it.

**Chikout**

Still undecided on this one. The gold paint job in the first pic really does it no favours. The armour is, for me, the worst part. Having lived with years and years of the exact same plastic wings on every monster kit, I am glad they are experimenting with the wings here. I am looking forward to seeing how long it is. From this angle it looks too squat, but a long body could help to balance the model out. I actually like the neck and the pose. There is no accounting for taste.

The blurry pic from last week definitely showed an alternate head. Who knows what other options there are.

**ChaosxVoid**

oh man that is fething awesome....ima have me some of that 100%

**NinthMusketeer**

Reaaallly need the 360 before I can say if I like it or not. Just can't get a good idea of the pose from that angle.

**VeteranNoob**

Man, can't wait to see the metal dwarfs model line

**MLaw**

I haven't really been following GW's fantasy very closely since they started doing all that weirdness with TK a while back.. is that their first non-snake looking dragon?

In plastic, yes. Resin no.

**Imateria**

Is it me or is there only 1 wing on that dragon?

**angelofvengeance**

The other is obscured by the body, obviously.

**Necros**

First glance.. would have been an awesome model if it wasn't for the downpointy wings. I'll wait till I can see it more in action but right now I'm not wanting it.

I am gonna pick up some of the regular drakoth riders though.

**Chad Warden**

Big dragon has the same awkward looking claws as its little brothers

Head is cool tho
