Oh, and one last thing...

Spoiler:

A second model from the "Starblood Stalkers" warband!

We won’t say too much more about Kixi Taka right now, but that mysterious sphere in their left hand could have major ramifications for Direchasm

"Sir, I really think you should listen to what the Skink has to say!"
"And why is that?"
"Because... it's holding a thermal detonator!"

A shame. This warband would have been a must buy if the female figures actually looked female.

What does this actually mean?

You have eyes, you know what it means.

No actually, that's why i asked. I can see the unhelmeted one as female, because her face obviously is. If she had the helmet on, i wouldn't have any idea and i like that in army made of barbarian fanatics.

I'll skip the bad faith argument thanks.

Not seeing the bad faith there - however, I could imply it in a poster who is content to imply and insinuate their position, rather than state it clearly.

Admittedly, "bad faith" and "Chaos worship" kind of go hand-in-hand. Or hand-to-hand, in the case of the model in question.

Ya all know Shieldwolf makes really nice plastic 2000 GW style forest goblins, yea?

I'm baffled they decided to tease this Warband with undeniably the worst model out of the four.

I'd put her ahead of Guy with Mace of Overcompensation...

What on earth is a meme-player?

A term that allows Chopstick to belittle people who don't play as he thinks they should, apparently.

Vampires on pre-order next week - and a new starter set?

Here's a question - how do the CC Skeletons compared to the Skeleton warband for Underworlds (excluding the guy climbing out of his grave, for obvious reasons).

And then this:

It may be for a game I don't care about, in a setting I despise, but I'll say this - that's a damn cool piece of art.

Harrowdeep goes on pre-order next weekend

What sort of price point were previous season sets at?

Ok so the first guy is named Coyl (coil). Let’s see if we can brainstorm old school electricity words that GW will cleverly name the rest of the group.

Volt
Wyre
Cable
Thomas Deadison

Ohm - because resistance is futile...

OK mini but dumb concept - having just one giant arm he's going to just tip over easily and have a lot of back pain. Less threatening than a normal zombie IMO.

Something tells me that zombies, even electro-zombies, aren't all that bothered about back pain...

 Wha-Mu-077 wrote:
Stitched together Frankenstein-style flesh constructs sounds really cool, but there's only one of them, and the rest are just regular zombies, but with tesla coils, except for one of them who doesn't even have that, and then theres a budget bin version of the Cursed City skeletons thrown in too.

Isn't the crouching guy without electro-bits meant to be... checks notes... Marcov, the mortal assistant to Deintalos?

And as only four of the zombies are referred to as "arcwalkers", I think the City Guard zombie is actually meant to be Marcov's "personal zombie" Regulus, which would explain why he doesn't share the aesthetic of the other four.

Can't be - GW stated in court that none of their staff take anything from external influences, while claiming ownership of Roman numerals...

No matter how many times you say it, Chopstick, Marcov won't become a zombie - he's the apprentice of the vampire, and the non-coil zombie is one he has animated as a bodyguard.

Zondara's Gravebreakers were previewed at LVO.

A female Necromancer/mage, a werewolf/beast, and three undead thralls.

They definitely hold some Underworlds events at Warhammer World, for sure.

"This prevents players from being locked out of a powerful warband or deck which they can’t buy, and helps maintain proper competitive balance. "
You know the other solution to this, GW? Make the warbands available for people to buy, even if only as an annual M2O run...

Who was Gor-Rok?

And was he spawned alongside Gor-Roll?

The plague bearers are pretty cool, but not a very cheerfull group. When I thing Nurgle daemons I think of a twisted comic relief, but these guys are just scary.

While Nurglings, Beasts & Great Unclean Ones have a reputation for being cheerful, Plaguebearers are known for their dour nature.

I think Gideon may have copied the wrong URL there.

Actual Designer's Notes

Probably too small a time gap, but could it tie into the RE shield?

On the one hand, did we really need more elves instead of a proper race like dwarves?

On the other, nice to see a plot point being followed up and expanded upon following the Croneseer rocking up.

New Khornate warband for Underworlds - Kamandora's Blades

Should I say that not since having seen the Turd of Nineties Nagash in metal have my eyes been this hurt?!

You take that slander of metal Nagash back! He remains a far easier to transport model, and a more-usable-on-the-table model that the silly plastic version.

As is often the case, it'll be interesting to see what the community painters make of the kit, if they get sent them to work on.
