So the White Dwarf lists Treeman and Dryads, where are those pictures? Are they literally just re-packaged or did they change anything?

Old sprues, new round bases as far as I know

I wonder, how much will those repacked Sylvaneth cost, as now it converts to 22 gbp (used to be 20). :|
Stormcasts look kewl. Even kewler, when people make Inquisitors out of them

I'd like to think they're really just mummified corpses bonded to the armor kind of like Rubric Marines. I mean, the Reliquary guy doesn't exactly look like the model of "godlike beings" these dudes are described as.

I really like those Decimators. But, if I get them, they're getting the more blingy Retributator helms. Damn, I may actually spend money on these overpriced toys afterall.

Why would this even matter?

I was sarcastically yanking the chains of the anti-misogyny brigade. I threw in the "white, heterosexual" parts to cover all my bases and complete the trifecta of the Great Oppressor. Besides, they have neither boob-plates nor are they scantily clad, so how could they possibly be female?!

i think i was the only one who got it was a joke.

thow in all honesty I feel their needs to be more male chain-mail bikini models.

Sigmanecrons are really Thousands sons? :O

Sigmar = Magnus the Red.

Confirmed.

For me sigmarines have been nothing but off puting and lazy gw trying to shove them down my throat for so long doesnt help tbh. Being the cheap attempt at repeating space marines sales phenomenon in fantasy, sigmarines end up fitting neither 40k nor fantasy imo. They also lack any character and depth, space marines have that "good guys but in fact psychopatic war criminals, sorry that's the best you get anyway" vibe and serve a facist empire not to mention being beefed up and properly intimidating vader in multiples. Sigmarines seem to be just good as in proper good, who needs that really.

Looking at models released with End Times Nagash, dont have much hope for inccoming models either.

Those protectors look very cool. The helmets look too feline to me with the extended nasal bridge/guard, but could be easily swapped. I love the big spear things they've got.

Unfortunately for GW and me, they aren't $10 USD a pop cool. Dragonfate Dias also looks very cool and like it could come right out of a Conan movie, but I will pass at the price GW is asking.

(Please spare me remarks about how I can get them for 20% off at internet retailers as though this were some great secret.)

What's wrong with the End Times models? I thought they were beautiful. Nagash, Druthu, Bloodthirster, Blightkings were all so neat.

I kind of dig those Sigmarites, If not for them and the starter box, I don't think I would have ever gotten into the Fantasy world, and I actually think now that I like Age of Sigmar better than 40k. Not quite decided yet, but definitely on the fence.

The picture for the treeman on his warscroll at the back of the big 264 page book just looks like the old treeman model. I don't think it's changed at all.

There's actually three little kids, standing on each others shoulders.

Heroes, that Sigmar saved from certain doom via killing them with a lightning strike. He than reforged their bodies into immortal beings and clad them in Sigmarite armour.

Don't know anything about TS, but Stormcast Eternals still have a body, they are not just skeletons. Just... "reforged". Whatever that means. I think it's the easy way for GW to say every reforged body look the same, so they don't have to produce different models for various races and genders.

pics of new release

I'm assuming the BL book is the print collection of the subscription stories here :

Don't you know? Everyone has a skeleton in them, just waiting to get out.

The Lord Relictor wears a mask and is very much alive. As are the Sigmarite guys, cause they do actually bleed. If they were mummified then there wouldn't be any. What I do find interesting however is the Lord Relictor can resurrect the ones who fall in battle. Ionus Cryptborn does this in Gate of Azyr.

Not sure if anyone noticed but in the scenery pics the chaos reavers on the bottom right of the pic have two handed weapons which they don't have out the starter set.

Dryads are up to 16 models per box where as they used to be 12

In Autumn rats will arrive to chew the corn fields.

I'm so sorry.

The tree-pack gives a nice discount, yeah?

Ho-hum, regarding the Sigmarine kits, I guess GW finally listened to the idiots who complained about all the "useless" extra weapons in modern kits, so now we get a separate kit for each weapon option. Congrats. Hope you're happy.

Umm... no?

This is a different kit to the one from last week. It has a couple of different arming options. You still end up with more unused weapons than used.

How can you tell?

I believe that we atleast can expect some info/images on the other order factions in about 3-4 weeks. They had destruction this week, Death next, and they will hopefully show some pictures of the normal human factions. I have no info on this but I believe this to be somewhat likely

Is that a Treeman with a flaming sword?

That Forest Spirit Host is an odd box.

If you're buying this I'd guess that you'd be wanting to run the formation.

But the formation requires 4 woods. Which is another £72 on top of this.

I love the concept of this forest warfare (there was initial visual hints of Vietnam movies to the Sylvaneth vs Nurgle war) but needing woods to use some of their abilities prices me out.

Yes. It's the character Treeman Ancient, Durthu.

Is Durthu sufficiently...soaked, so as to avoid any embarrassing self-immolating accidents?

I'm at home and bored. Sorry....

Just because Durthu has chisled abs and stunning foiliage doesn't mean that he too can't not die in a freak, flaming sword accident.
