Hey, 40k! WHFB just called. It said, "WTB Zoids. LOL!!!"

Looks like I picked a good time to start Fantasy. Here's hoping the one unit of Khornate Halberd/shield warriors I already painted aren't going to be obsoleted by the new army book.

Yea, there are a bunch of WoC players in my area. There'll be no living with them now. :/

Cant wait to see the new artwork of the greatest warriors known to man

Hmm though I am wondering how much are the rules/points for the chaos shrines gonna change?

Because honestly I kinda prefer the way they are now. I just hope they dont go to VC Chariotthingy expensiveness

I for one welcome our new overlords.

Forsaken I recall were supposedly d3+1 attack Scout S4 T4 no armour save. However seeing as how they're rank-and-file in the pictures let's just say I am probably not to convinced about Scout.

Wasn't there supposed to be a Troll King Throgg with this release? Eh, guess chaos trolls can wait some more.

No Armor save? Hmn but they had heavy armor in the current book. And seeing no one takes forsaken currently I wonder if scout will make them worthwhile

Wait...that's Troll King Throgg!? What happened to "he'll look like the picture". They turned him from a bridge-dwelling nightmare troll into a fist-pumping gym-junkie!?

Those were some very early rumours that when reflected upon now do not seem too promising.

Yeah... imo Throgg sux, as well as the Dragon Ogres.

Doesn't seem to be the majority opinion, but having played a Throgg army from 7th-8th edition fantasy with my own converted dragon ogres, it's definitely mine... although I have since parted with it.

You and me both!

I really like the look of the 3rd figure. What is it?

I am going to pass on the GW miniatures, mainly because I don't like the look of many of them to be honest, as well as the fact that I am also trying to avoid using as many as I can. I will, begrudgingly, buy the book though, and probably the spell deck.

Now I just need to find something to proxy Dragon Ogres with. I think the two big monster kits are ugly as hell, so I am likely to go the cheaper route and look for something appropriate from the McFarlane Spawn line of figures.

Good to see the new book is coming through. My initial prediction? Expect a marked rise in the cost of Marauder units, with the cost of taking a mark now done on a per-model basis. I can see the Tzeentch benefit of adding +1 to a ward save going away, and a likely change to the Puppet as well as Chaos spells.

I think Chaos have had it too good for too long, and this is likely to balance them out nicely.

Not a huge fan of the Dragon Ogres (the dragon legs look... off somehow), but the rest looks pretty spiffy. Still love that we're getting more plastic heros/lords.

Don't play Warriors of Chaos, but I'm definitely going to get a few chariots to use for my beastmen army!

I don't get it. Aren't WoC one of the newer books(just before 8th ed). Where is the Demons, woodelf, Bretonnian, and dwarf army books which are in much greater need of a redo(daemons because they are boring and OP)

The black/purple tectacle beast is great, although I'd leave off the doohickey on his back.

The Dragon Ogres look great.

The Forsaken look meh.

The chariot is just average.

The characters look good, but not great.

You must be new to GW

i'm baffled when i read that those dragon ogres doesn't look good...compared to the old ones?, really?

What in the Nine layers of Slaanesh pantaloons do you guys want?

So those;



Looks better then those?



Really?...

My only beef is I wish their weapons were bigger. I can fix that with my Ogre bits.

Other than that, I love the new Dragon Ogres.

When I saw the Dragon Ogres and their stiff legs I immediately thought, "We are the knights with no knees."

heh.


Yeah, sorry...bad pun.

I just wish one or two had their front legs on the ground. Otherwise I quite like the sculpts.

I might have to do a WoC army now, those models are AWESOME!

TROLL ARMY HERE I COME!

I have to agree. While the Dragon Ogres are a step up from the current, the static legs are a major "meh" factor for the models.
And personally owning many of the Miss Painting Group character models (Throgg, Kholek, Vilitch) that are damn near identical to the artwork, I find the new characters to be extremely lackluster.

I'm loving the rest of the release, however! Barring maybe the Forsaken.

The only problem is that there is no real good alternative to the Dragon Ogres. Sadly.

Perhaps we can convince Tre from Red Box Games to make some alternatives. Perhaps with rhino lower parts or something cool so they are different enough to give people a choice.

What's that magic swirly thing bolted onto his shoulder? It seems really, really out of place. Or is that part of the background?

I think if you get rid of that thing, this beasty looks pretty cool.

Sideways deamon? Huh.

I'm gonna assume that's part of why it has the name of "Vortex Beast".

Thankfully, it will be much easier to fix in plastic than metal of finecost.

Er, what are those first two things supposed to be? they look utterly awful. Not complaining at plastic Dragon Ogres (assuming?) though.

At the risk of sounding snarky. Read. The. Thread. I've answered it multiple times. The first is a Slaughterbrute and the second is (maybe called) a Mutalith Vortexbeast

Yeah, I am quite aware, as I can read, thank you very much. Knowing the names doesn't change the fact that they look utterly awful, in my opinion.

Wish the pics were clearer...

The Dragon Ogres and Throgg looks really great, as does Vilitch, to bad i dont have any interest for dragon ogres.
The rest of them are kinda 'meh', i think i'll pass on this release and wait for some new Daemons instead.. :(
