My local store has stuff like Nagash and the Glottkin has around 85-90 dollars, so I'm hoping I can get a Bloodthirster for a similar price.

We'll see. I'm waiting for the 360s before i make up my mind. I've still got money sitting with Mierce so I can just get the Banebeast version of Krull is I'm not satisfied with GW's new kit.

Video doesn't really tell us all that much, but at least we're nearing the end of this "story." Can't wait till all is revealed and we can start arguing about what actual changes are happening instead of this maddening uncertainty...

...oh, and I wanna buy some of that Khorne-y stuff! Must have more conversion fodder for my 40K CSM guys (and a Bloodthirster as a centerpiece for their ad-hoc Daemonic comrades...)

Pretty sure that voice is Toby Longworth- a BL audio drama regular

Er, I meant more who is the character. He says something about "no sane person would stand against them" and that he will. So my question is, who is he?

From the context of the video I thought it had to be either Malekith or Karl Franz, they're the two characters left to lead the fight against Chaos right?

Emperor Palpatine, sounds like.

Why not Nagash?

He is literally insane.

Settra, perhaps?

In the section where he says that "gods will die", is that a picture of an avatar of Khaine?

Seems a lot of Empire stuff is out of stock at the moment, signs the end is near for that whole line?

Or just panic buying on those rumors?

Little column A, little column B?

Pistoliers/Outriders tend to stay steady, Steam Tanks can be hit/miss...but Free Company being out of stock is new.

I'm willing to bet that this is the answer.

Free Company is my all time favorite GW kit (SO MANY OPTIONS) and I just got a bunch of Outrider bitz for conversions and liked it enough to get the full kit.

I'm even thinking of getting the ginormous griffon thingy.

Funny thing is I don't play fantasy, these are all for oddball 40k projects.

Yes, as seen in End Times: Khaine. Lots of dead elven gods in that one.

As to the narrator, my money would be on Teclis. This whole thing seems to be his idea.

Free Company are in and out as well. There was a span last summer where they were out long enough that people were starting to wonder if they were getting replaced.

Eternal Guard/Wildwood Rangers are out of stock right now...but that means nothing because the stock chain for Wood Elves has been horrendous.

Panic buying more than likely...what's also more than likely is that GW will attribute this surge of panic buying to mean 9th has been successful.

Not likely, seeing as how 9th isn't even supposed to hit until May/June...

Now Kan, you're attributing rational logic to GW here... I'm not sure that's entirely called for

Is it me, or is this pic new to the thread?

He... He... Has a hammer whip....

No, he has a punch dagger hammer whip.

So he can stab, punch, whip, and pummel you with his wrath, anger, fury, and rage, all at the same time.

Does it really matter what the heavy object at the end of a flail looks like? I'd submit the answer is no.

Part whip! Part flail! ALL STUPID!


Well, ok it might be usable without hitting yourself, but it is a really fiddly weapon for a Bloodthirster. If you are not REALLY paying attention to what you are doing that thing is going to smack you more often than the enemy.

I like the armor design and the overall look of him though.

I still worry about how all that weight is going to be distributed. It looks like his foot that's leaping up is attached to those flames.

I fear I'll need to weight down a lot of those pieces to keep him from toppling over.

@ Steamdragon the chain/whip part is far too long for a functional flail, relative to his size and the weapon's handle. It is at best a "magic wrath flail hammerer!" thing, nothing that would come close to working.

Is the chain/ flail part attached to the punch dagger thing? It looks like their might be some connection point possibly on his gauntlet.

That's a good point, there does seem to be a chain looking thing hanging in front of the wing. I wonder what's going on there.

I'm not a fan of the whip but I like his hat.

The handle of the punch dagger is essentially one of the links in the chain, by the looks.

Why? I can't say, but then.. Hammerwhip.

I really wanted to like this, but a combination of limited posability, and what appear to be some, questionable design choices are hammering nails into the coffin left and right.

The one in the background with the two handed axe looks pretty sweet though.
