See, I think the stone itself is the think that is inserted into armour or constructs or the Infinity circuit.

That metal frame that surrounds the stone? That thing was already attached to the thong, waiting for a stone to carry. Dude touches the the clasp to the stone; it simultaneously sends an impulse to the clasp on the Wraith Unit to release the stone just as the clasp itself grips the stone. Then the seer lifts the it out on the thong, which is when the image was frozen in time as the model.

So what happens when a second Wraith goes down and there's another stone to remove and/or store?

Is buddy lugging 12x unfilled necklace fittings at all times, and at the end of a bad war day he's walking around like Mr. T? Or does he only use his magic thong to withdraw the stone, which he then immediately removes from the setting and pockets (he walks the path of My Achin' Back, and simply hates to bend over to retrieve a stone).

As I said, if you don't like the model, you'll find ways to condemn it.

For the record, the Soulweaver is holding four- three in one hand and the stone she's using in the other. MSU Wraithguard are five models.

It's also worth noting that, if needed, a stone could also be removed by hand and carried in pocket- not as safe as the other method, but it'll work when there's no other choice.

But yeah, you're right, wearing 12 necklaces... I can't imagine ANYONE doing that.

The eldar ia way too much of a clownshow for me to like it. Hard pass

The necro is cool, but he need to be removed from the tombstone. As is, he seems like hes about to start his solo part in a disney musical

Uh, all discussions aside, you might need a pair of aspirin and a nap. You just unconsciously processed the explicit reference in my post and tried to throw it back at me as a zinger.

The models are nice but neither of them really appeal to me, at least not to fork out another 50 quid for another year.

Models aside its a bit disappointing to see the rest of the subscription is more or less same again for another year.

15% discount on overpriced tat and items for mobile games are of no value to me.

A couple of animated shows I could watch in an hour or two, again not much value there as I could just subscribe for a month and watch them all.

The newer weekly shows just aren't appealing either.

I kind of hope they see a drop in subscribers as it might force them to re-evaluate the subscription as a whole and not just rely on the models being enough to draw people in.

On the sub numbers?

We know from the Annual Report numbers are going up.

What isn’t published is what percentage are new subs each year.

I’ve been subscribed since it launched, because I’m a dirty slag for shiny models, and enjoy the vault (despite the layout). I’d like more shows, but have still enjoyed what’s out there to varying degrees.

I don't really care for either. A buddy plays Eldar and might want that one mini, so I'll get that one.

Sheesh, the people at the store I visit were acting like W+ was handing out gold-pressed latinum bars.

With those large-looking base sizes are they even legal for the game?

The Eldar Spiriteer isn't able to be used, not on the base it comes with. Transfer it to a 28mm or whatever base and you're good, with an objective marker of the Wraithlord.

These models are dioramas rather than playing pieces. Its the kind of thing you'd enter into a painting competition rather than a tournament.

Saying that, I cannot stand the tiny bases my Harlequins have to endure. My kitbashed Death Jester had to have a slightly larger base.

Game rules say use the base the model comes with, so, yes, totally legal.

Love the Iyanden one and will be my model of choice. I want to like the e Necromancer, but he’s pretty awful.

Based on the base size, is it a Spiritseer or a Wraithlord?

I suscribed to Warhammer+ in year 1 and got the nifty Vindicare assassin, which I still have neither assembled nor painted, but one day I will.

After reading this thread, I had a look at an online article on Spikey Bits that showed me all of the free miniatures from year 1 to 5. I am only sorry that I didn't get the year 4 Inquisitor Ostromandeus set. The others are nice but not really my jam.

I haven't built my Vindicare yet because I want to cut him out of the statue and magnetize his feet so I can use him with or without it, but I'm nervous about the cuts and I need smaller magnets.

The model itself builds fully separate from the statue. It kind of twists into position.

Welp, I just paid $63.29 for a necromancer, since I forgot I had the autopay option selected.

Then whatever they require for the free shipping to trigger.

Gotta wait until 9/18 to actually order it though.

Pretty sure the Sub models (the free one!) get free shipping.

IIRC in years past you automatically got free shipping for your subscription model.

Wasn't the free shipping threshold lower last year?

The Necromancer and Spiritseer show up in New Releases.
Spiritseer with a value of $45.

The "FREE shipping for orders over $65" shows up under both items for me.
No mention of free shipping for the selected one here, or on MyWarhammer. Just the standard shipping notice.

I checked the previous WH+ item pages, and yes, they explicitly state free shipping for the free item.
Seems to be an oversight or policy change. It devalues the subscription if I have to pay $10 shipping.

If memory serves, subscribers can’t claim their free one until late September (well, those with annual, upfront subscription). So it may crop up then?

I was just able to select the miniature I want. As someone previously stated they won't ship out until 17 Sept. On Warhammer+ it even has a countdown (20 days) until it will ship.

UK side I've got free shipping - I don't know if overseas its different due to how GW operates .


edit - wait that was last years rewards (forget I'm a year behind except this year where I'm stepping up to annual for that undead leader

Logged in to select my free miniature for this year, and in addition to that found myself able to order a second copy of last year's free miniature choice. Something worth checking.
