In terms of quality and detail these are amazing, whether we agree with the esthetic or not.

Interesting... The sprue parts look great. However its when you assemble them that things start to go wrong...

Kits aren't always released in the order they are made.

True but the 2013 date on the 'Nid drop pod has a lot of annoyed 'Nid players wondering why it was not included in the 'Nid dex.

T

The special characters from my Deathstorm set are dated as 2013 as well.

Can't wait to see more of what they came up with last year, now

That's most fantasy for you.

Probably because the codex was completed long before model was.

There is a long turn around time on these sorts of things and I think people forget that.

But most Fantasy don't have more than one or two weapon options.

While true, they are usually designed to only assemble one way due to needing to rank up.

Those naked faces look terrible. The helmeted faces look far better.

Are we really gonna have to wait until the next codex to see what stats the Bloodthirsters weapons have in 40K?

I wonder if I can somehow incorporate that 3 armed wrathmonger torso into a rat ogre...

I like the armored heads.

Armored heads on armored bodies, I can get behind. Could go either way on the weapons. Might look good fully armored.

I'd assume you can mix and macth the weapons too. Maybe a hand weapon and a flail, in full armor... I'd have a total mishmosh of what these guys are supposed to be.

It is the showdown: the last human city gets destroyed, the incarnate of fire sacrifices himself for the one of sky, Tzeentchs minions get sacrificed for Khornes amusement, the undead loose their home, the hero of light comes back, Bretonnians find out the truth of the blessed lady, the prince of shadows becomes a prisoner, the big escape to the heart of darkness for the final showdown.
That is what it is about, without revealing to much.

Warriors of Chaos seem to be getting all of the god-representation love that Chaos Space Marines were denied. I wonder why...

Wonder if their will be a third kit for Khorne next week. Does anyone know what is written in the preview section of the current WD ?

Not sure if it helps. The current White Dwarf's preview page could mean anything... :(

A Champion of Khorne? ohh

Could be Arbaal the Undefeated? Got his ass kicked at Praag but his death isn't confirmed...

Wouldn't he just be Arbaal now then?

Arbaal the Only Occasionally Defeated?

Arbaal the Mostly Undefeated!

Poke fun at him all you like. You all know that a Chaos lord riding a giant flesh hound would be awesome!!

Or it is the release week for Skarr Bloodwrath.

Bloodwrath.. really?

 angelofvengeance wrote:

Blood Bloodblood of Bloody Blüd was already taken.

To be fair they did manage bloodwrath armed with blood storm blades and the special rule blood born with the sub rule blood tally.
And the real reason GW thinks fantasy is tanking is revealed and why all the characters are being killed off. Their names were stupid and had to be replaced with something more sensible.

Are we really going to go down this road again?

As far as names go, it's fine. He's a Champion of Chaos, not a news anchor.

No, it is not fine, it is stupid, and for as long as GW continue to churn out mindless and trite names to this degree (and I'm sure a line has been crossed, they were never this bad/lazy until the last year or two) then you should make your peace with the fact people are going to comment on it.

So where were the complaints about Bloab Rotspawned, Morbidex Twiceborn, or Orghotts Daemonspew?

Chaos has always had descriptive names for Champions, and to pretend that this is somehow "new" is ridiculous.

None of those were Blood the Bloody of Bloodheim though, with his sticks of bloody stabbing and special blood gaze, were they?

Is a model supposed to come with his rules release? Or should I just whip out my Chaos champion and switch his axes to blades? Well, axes are blades. I can leave him be and just toss some stuff from the Khorne infantry kit on him. Bloody hell, I actually want all the Khorne stuff. Somebody shoot me.

Daemonspew:
Rot Axes and his steed "Whippermaw"(Orghotts is the build with twin axes and the single tentacled monster mount)

Rotspawned: Mounted on Bilespurter, Vile Bile, Daemon Flies, and Doombells. Rotspawned is the hooded sorcerer with the mount hawking a spitball.

Twiceborn: Mounted on Tripletongue and granting Regeneration to Nurglings and having Regeneration himself.

So yeah, they are just as bad if the quantifier is somehow that their name should preclude special rules or items with the same descriptors/themes.
Oh and let's not forget that they're called the "Maggoth Lords" to begin with.

I do like the maggoth lord name actually.
