Sorry (again) but just couldn't resist.

its the chorus line for the first national tour of "The Book of Morathi" coming soon to an opera house near you.

That beats "It's a Kind of Magic" that I was thinking of.

"What's new today" article on Storm of Magic is onlien with a few more pics:

Actually 45 types of monsters, some further subdivided, making 60-70 total.
All monsters that they once had models for. BTW next batch of binding spells already in August.

Seriously, seriously considering grabbing the Raging Heroes Manticore and the Maelstrom Chimera. They'd look good with the GW Cockatrice.

Anyone else notice the OK Butcher? Is that new?

I do now, and I like it!

This Storm of Magic stuff actually looks quite awesome, all though Magic already seems quite powerful in 8th, even with the whole IF=Miscast.

I especially like the new character sprues, but when I saw the Sorceress's face, all I could think of was this stupid meme:

well, yes and no. the body is from the old model but i believe the head and weapon is new or possibly just a conversion.

Still, promising to see a new direction for them. The skintone certainly is a change from the current greyish look. It might be something new, considering rumors are pointing to them getting a new armybook soon, but who knows for sure.

Looks like a mix of skull and dheneb with leviathan to me. Most of GW's site photos have brightness adjustments anyway.
What puzzles me is the color of the highlight they do on her black hair. They have a habit of confusing it with codex grey + black or shadow grey in their tutorials.

Anyone else see the bare Finecast cockatrice in WNT? He said it "came out very clean", but look at the base where its tail is coiled up...doesn't that look like a nasty mess of bubbles on the scales? Look at the painted pic next to it and it just looks kinda weird at the bottom.

I've suspected that the first made as Finecast models (ie. have always been Fiencast and not metal) would be better than the ones that were originally metal models.

Still wish Finecast was a stopgap for 100% plastic though...

I would disagree, the DE haemonculus is a trueborn ( ) Finecast model and, while the ones in the store I saw didn't have any real MAJOR defects, there were enough missing fingers and thumbs to put me off, lol...

FYI from GW:

"Just a product update for those of you excited about Storm of Magic: we (the web dudes) got our hands on a few hundred extra sets of Vortex Templates in Europe; for customers who missed out at the weekend, this is the last chance to get them..."

If you go to the GW website and switch to the UK site (where applicable) they now have a few Storm Of Magic Vortex Template sets to sell. After that, it will be try your luck on release day at the store or eBay.

Does anyone see a way to fix the dragon head of the Chimera, outside of a healthy dose of iodine?

Very disappointed that the plastic characters don't seem to come with any options.

Quite lazy of GW.

For those that missed the vortex templates, this was posted on the GW Facebook page today.

The new WD references these as a new offering (single pose, plastic blister). Jervis' article talks about them. I think its great if they offer more of these, and perhaps the solution to the finecast problems.

Wow, I'll be able to use my Great Taurus and Lammasu. To the closet, batman and don't forget the feather duster!

Ok, that is sig worthy.

No complaints from me, the sprues look like they can be easily kit bashed (perhaps not the DE Sorceress), especially the heads. My bits box already has plenty of options for these guys.

Most metal models don't come with any options, why would these be any different?

Well reading through the articles on the GW site I found this mention

There are even a few monsters that have been resurrected from days gone by, which will certainly raise a smile from those of you old enough to remember them - the Fimir, Zoats, the Great Taurus and the Lammasu (The Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers will be pleased). The book includes the full rules for all these monsters and creatures so that you can summon them to fight in your army. Who knows, we might even re-release a few of the models.

Now we know the Lammasu, Greater Taurus and Albion Models are on their way, but when they say might and a few it kinda implies they won't be making the other things their bringing back such as Zoats or Fimir. Now I for one seriously hope they do make Zoats and Fimir, I'm a huge fan of those old models and they are painfully hard to get hold of (I keep being outbid on eBay and elsewhere their very difficult to get)

So if GW don't release these models their gonna be impossible to use without counts as models as they won't be available on GW's site and nobody realy makes models quite like them. GW if you ever s ee this, or anyone from your site does, please make Zoat and Fimir models, I for one would get loads of each to make units of them.

To continue my 1970 TV show references, I'll say this.

Holy flames of Hashut batman! The CD references are really making me hope that they're going to release chaos dwarfs again (outside the FW models of course).

I can just hear my evil stunties stirring around in the closet, rattling the confines of their foam enclosures. bwahahahahaha.

Ok, I really need to lay off of the sweet tarts before posting.

I will be buying both the Great Taurus AND Lammasu, and await the day GW brings out Chaos Dwarfs.

Or convert them...

Or buy them off eBay, that's what I've been doing

Lol if only I had some more money to get more, I love CD's (is it lame that I'm building three different CD armies? One Bighat, one Warhammer Forge and one Abyssal Dwarfs lol)

But yeah, I have a feeling that the value of Lammasu and Greater Taurus metal riders has gone up a lot
