So, dwarfs are out for fantasy - even chaos dwarfs? Even Hellcannon crew? What about the excellent (and from what I thought, well selling) Forgeworld line of chaos dwarfs?

Genuinely asking here. Of course if they nix dwarfs of any stripe altogether that will likely be it for my fantasy involvement, but I'm just curious more than anything.

In terms of Chaos Dwarves, some of it is not available anymore (which leads me to believe that they have halted production) ; in addition, they have halted production on unfinished models (like the K'Daai Destroyer). Tamurkhan, the book which gives you the rules for the army, has sold out and is not currently planned for a reprint.

In fact, the whole of Warhammer Forge is pretty much on hold.



EDIT : Actually.... hold on, i appear to be incorrect. All the models are apparently still available for CD's. Just Tamurkhan is not.

By hold you mean cancelled, and some models are not available and are phasing out.

Just sold mine on ebay weeee


So... Tyrion is back, Thorgrim and Valten still dead as it appears.

Lamesauce

Well that explains the black bars...



So the Wrathmongers don't get sword-chucks? Disappointing...

I really don't understand all of the hate on the Bloodthirster. What exactly is it about the face that people don't like so much? And how are you passing such harsh judgement on the face when the pictures are so damn tiny? The wings, I can kind of see the complaints, but I think a lot of it has to do with the way they're painted. They seem to have used very stark highlighting on the webbing, which I think was a bad choice of color tone. Subtle highlights would be better.

Personally I haven't entirely written it off but I am passing harsh judgment because its rare I've been surprised in a good way when the official pics hit with GW stuff. They look better when not blurry but also expose the little technical imperfections that will forever keep GW out of the realm of collector/display models if not fixed. Play doh rat hair and harlequin cloak traveling through stone being some recent examples.

Honestly I just wanted a good looking bloodthirster to paint but this looks worse than the significantly older Krull from meirce or the balrog from the lord of the rings line so I am disappointed.

Surprised no one has made mention of Isabella apparently joining up with Chaos and potentially fighting against Vlad (less sure on the second part, but she's in one of the army spreads with a bunch of Nurgle Daemons).

Interesting juxtaposition there ; i'd have pegged her for Slaanesh, personally.


Those skullreapers look so much like PP's doom reavers its scary, sans the helmets. I wonder if this is a subtle little middle finger after the chapterhouse rulings ? Kinda like (from their perspective, i don't agree with this, i rooted for chapterhouse to win) "Hey, we can copy ideas too and change small aspects of them."

Nurgle - hmm that is very strange - although someone did say that she was being held and tortured by the Dark Elves - Vampires are immune to disease which normally annoys Nurgle - but then Vampires tend to be anathama's to most Chaos Gods - unchangng so Tzeentch alos dislikes them, Slaanesh has limited hold I guess.

Maybe I getting paranoid here but the pictures seem to have the bases covererd with terrain and funny angles so that we cannot really see them?

So those pictures confirm stupid new names for the Bloodthirsters?

I can only make out [...] The Unfettered Fury

Also, apparently Valkia is around again ... i thought it was heavily inferred she was killed / banished / whatever happens to a daemon when its corporeal form would be assuming room temperature but for being a daemon.

Belakor is also putting in an appearance.... with Hellebron.


gak's getting weird in ET:5. Apparently Bel'akor, Hellebron, some slaaneshi daemons, and the more evilly inclined wood elf stuff (drycha, Coeddil, etc) are now hanging out.

I think one might be called "The Insatiable Rage", but i'm not 100% sure. I'm reading the text on one of them and there's at least one, possibly two references to that, with capital letters.

Can anyone make out what the name is above Teclis and Lileath is on the Council of incarnates spread?

 nels1031 wrote:

Malekith, Tyrion, Cararyan, Balthy, Nagash, KFA, Arkhan, Vlad. Carl Hammerson(?), Teclis and Lileath.

No, the list on the right side of the image, where it has even more names. The one I can't decipher is below Vlad Von Carstein and above Teclis and Lileath.

Looks Dwarfy.

I can't make it out. I want to say it's either Gotek or Gotrek, or Gotel or something like that but i can't make it out.

Gilfi?

Hammerhelm?

Maybe. To me, it looks like the first name there is definitely an "o", but i think you're onto something with the second name containing "Hammer".


EDIT: I blew it up and tried to make it out. I can't get anything more out of it. It's actually easier to read from far away than up close due to pixilization.

I'll have to check my old Realms of Chaos but the Daemons of each Chaos Power used to all have lots of names like that - I like them

GW's brilliant and clever naming schema marches on!

Well, "Doom Reavers" was taken...

It appears the one with the Heroquest head is Ka'Bandha.

As seen in this image.

And Wrathreapers and Skullmongers just sound weird...

Right, you'd have to be a lunatic to mong a skull.

I'm guessing Nagash is going to survive in some form, I mean they just came out with his model not that long ago. I've been under the impression that 9th will be an opportunity for GW to shed all of the metal/resin/outdated kits it has no interest in reviving, and as such all of the newer kits would be spared/brought into 9th.

If they actually got rid of Nagash and all of his skeleton friends, I think people would be way more upset (and even more reasonably so).

One word: Glottkin.

The Glottkin aren't dead. The spellcaster brother got them out of there before Karl Franz could finish them, and they're currently being preserved in Nurgle's garden, where they're very much alive.

Ya, I gave up. Just hoping it a Dwarf name.

Ya, there is some confusion with their fate, as in the novel Fall of Altdorf it says they were fried by KFA and goes into no more detail, whereas in Warhammer: Glottkin, they survive but are put on timeout by Papa Nurgle. I'd say the latter is correct.

Giggles Hammerthong?

The sub heading looks like a single word, possibly deceased...so we probably shouldnt get excited for a dwarf to make an appearance.
I'd settle just for one bluffing his way in as the Incarnate of mummbblemummble.

I'm guessing Gotel Hammersomething, Runelord.

@Slayer le boucher: I'm very angry at you. There was a reason, why the name of the shop was hidden. Thanks to you the big evil will find it and close it down. You are so smart. Did you even think about, if you should do it. Damn it, after I finally found a nice place to buy my stuff, someone ruins it. Besides you ruined it for yourself as well (alibaba would have send it to you too).

It's generally considered wise, when one wishes to keep a low profile, if, for instance, you're selling a product of dubious legality, to not leak images that are going to garner significant attention with your name watermarked all over them.

Being a crim 101, surely?

Would it have killed the to consider making new models for the Incarnate?

It's not like nobody would've bought them or anything. I'm a sucker for flashy new hero figures.

It might not be illegal since they are the priniting company and may have rights to own and sell issues. But Dschedoubleu won't use them in the future after they realized this, and that is something produced by us, distributing those pictures. That is what I am mad about .

There won't be any new incarnates .. I mean models for incarnates, as far as I know. A big sad moment for Ungrimm ironfist, who still doesn't get a new model. How many years has it been now? 15 years or 18 year? Crazy.

Well on the Incarnates page there are 12 of them, but only 8 winds of magic...

Yeah its not like those where on 5 different sites allready...

plus sorry but if you are stupid/naive enough to put your shop/site watermark right in the middle of a leaked copyrigthed document..., dunno its like commiting a bank robbery without taking the hassle of covering your face, leave your wallet with your ID on the spot and drive with your car with the real license plates...
