I'm happy to see GW put out a big monster kit that actually looks solid. After all the ugly ones that came with Storm of Magic and Chaos and all that, it's a relief to see these. I'm sincerely impressed with these models, and I'm happy that Fantasy is getting such a good looking release. Seriously good looking stuff here.

Probably Wayland Games.

A good chuckle at the 1 click dollections. But its really nice to see everything in detail now. Happy that it doesn't appear that any of the current range is being increased in price or reduced in model count.

I also really like the look of the Oldblood on the Carnosaur. Hopefully it's pretty straight forward to detach/reattach him for on foot duty.

It even says in the description there's extra bits to have them on foot if they're not used, I think this is pretty sweet

**Necros**

I preordered the limited army book and cards. I'll wait till the models are at the FLGS and get them there

I hate how ya gotta buy limited stuff right from GW if you want any hope of getting it :(

**jah-joshua**

just downloaded the new WD mag...
the pics look so good, and the Terradon kit comes with a Mexican Staring Frog!!!
i'm liking the look of the plastics...

GD Marco Columbo looks really good...
a cool alternative to the original...
i hope they can actually cast him well...
i didn't hear many reviews of last year's casting quality, so that could be a good sign after the fiasco of the 25th anniversary Crimson Fist...

looks like a good issue this month...
i'm looking forward to the battle report to see the Lizards in action...

cheers

$1600 one-click bundle!!! Holy cow!!

And absolutely no savings on it of course...

**RiTides**

I only see an $800-some dollar one?

Regardless, looks like (finally!) a fantastic fantasy release on GW's part. Credit where credit is due

I'll probably pick up the book in a week to read through and pretend I could/would spend all that money

(or more like, to consider running some other models I'm waiting on for a count-as LM force).

€1313,50, should be 1600ish bucks.

To be fair that thing is two or three armies' worth of minis, in all likelyhood.

**Zappit**

So...weird thing. Just opened my White Dwarf app, and the new one started downloading, no purchase made. Were they giving this one away?

**Ecarhil**

You can check the models on the gw site btw. They are up now.

**Sigvatr**

How stupid is GW please? Who is going to buy a "1 click deal" for 1300€? Just wow.

**DarkStarSabre**

The bundles are hilariously bad. The Temple Guard one made me wince and then I realised they now charge about £30 a box for them - so very glad I got my Temple Guard back when they were £15 for a box.

But Credit where due. The Carnosaur however seems to be now mounted on a Chariot base. Still going to stick with the 50x50 mm ones I got with them. Too much effort to frankenstein a new base for them.

**Olly**

I love the 1 click deals, they save you like a whole 30 seconds

my time is valuable!

On a serious note I love the carnasour kit now, looks muuuuch more predatory. Not a fan of the other big monster, the characters all look really solid as well

Games Workshop wrote:Warhammer Battle Magic: Lizardmen contains 8 spells from the Lore of High Magic as described in Warhammer: Lizardmen. They are printed on individual cards as a handy reference for use in your battles.

Each full-colour card describes one spell, and all the information you need to use it on the battlefield, including spell type, casting value and range. As well as the 6 spells from the Lore of High Magic, this set also includes the 2 signature spells for the Lizardmen: Drain Magic, and Soul Quench. Not only are the spell cards a great, tactile way of representing magic in your games but on a practical level they make selecting spells easy and speed up play in the heat of battle.

Emphasis mine. That should settle that question about Lizardmen magic, right?

As a side-note, I kinda like that the Troglodon, true to it's name, doesn't have any eyes.

Yeah, amazing how the monsters start to look good when they don't have hugely exaggarated proportions. This is best Fantasy stuff since Tomb Kings.

The pic where Carnosaur and Slaughterbrute are next to each other is telling, the models are so visually apart they don't look like they belong to same gaming system.

**Zond**

These minis look fantastic. I can easily see me picking up all of them just for something to paint, however if anyone has any ideas on what else to use them for I'm all ears.

Tempted to use the new Tomorrows War rules to essentially do Avatar now that I think about it actually.

Dark Sphere has some pretty good discounts, and is reliable (though 3rd party retailers and GW new releases may always be tricky)

**RiTides**

I'm just glad GW didn't continue their obssession with the HUGE 100mm x 150mm base. A chariot base is not bad by comparison

(50mm x 100mm).

Agreed, I posted something similar earlier in this thread...I'm sure the pterodactyl thingies could make a decent jet bike count-as, if they weren't too hard to convert.

Those miniatures look great. I espically like the Skink priest.

Oh and is anyone else noticing the lack of Updated metal models?

Yeah, you'd think they would finally release a plastic krox kit at this point, or a resin Tehenehuin.

Especially when the total price is the exact same thing as buying each item individually. There's no incentive for anyone to make that purchase.

GW has to be the only retailer in the world that doesn't understand the concept of a bulk purchase discount.

I had the exact same thing. I wasn't complaining, but it is kinda odd.

Love the new models. Can I justify one, when I only play TK in fantasy?

**Sheep**

Wholesalers get a discount from GW for bulk orders, so its strange that they havent grasped the concept for retail.

Oh well, there were online retailers that matched the contents of the eldar one click deals with a discount, maybe they'll do so again.

Are kroxigor not offered in finecast?

They are, but that was way back when Finecast was introduced. You'd expect that they would make them plastic for the this update so that people would actually get them.
I have never seen krox on the field, which is a pity because they are pretty cool.

**Flashman**

Design wise, this is arguably the best Fantasy release of the year.

Yes. So much better than the derpy Chaos Warriors release and the bland high elves.

Funny part: This is the Most humongous war party that is lead by a Slann Mage Priest and they decide to protect him with full elite cadre of ten (10) Temple Guards!

Yes - that army deal seems to be a ploy to try to unload excess cold one cavalry.

It seems weird to me they stuck everything in special too.

The carnosaur made it rare - so there must be some sort of variant that is a rare choice (which is weird - since all variants have a character riding them). But both Bastilidons, both Terradon variants are packed into the already crowded special.

Worse still they moved Jungle Swarms from core to special too! It'll be like having a High Elves army, lore and all.
