Blood reaver with two handed axe hidden in plain site in the new wd apparently

Now would that be a two-hander option for the whole unit or a special weapon available to only every X blood reavers?

Not sure, as its not even an option for them according to their warscroll. Find out soon enough.

Take the Stormcast Liberators as an example, their warscroll in the AOS boxed set only had options for those models in the box so no paired swords, grand hammer etc etc. A week later a new upgraded warscroll for the Liberators covering all options in the 5 man boxed set was released. Same with Retributors and it will be the same with Blood Warriors and Blood Reavers.

The game is so close to being awesome, it drives me nuts. As is, all 16 of our regular fantasy players have jumped ship to 40k, KoW, or something else entirely.

This makes me a sad panda.

We were in a lull for WFB, hardly anyone playing. Now have a goo crowd showing up for games.

That must be horrible to clean up after.

Already mentioned on previous page. No one seems to care though (god forbid it would interfere with the stormcast bash a thon)

Blood reavers multi part boxed set and Khorne character are the first chaos releases followed possibly by plastic flesh hounds and then multi part blood warriors

Plastic flesh hounds? If they're anything like the pet that the AoS Khorne lord has on a leash, I will be very pleased. I was just about to put a post upin the sw Swap Shop forum to try to get more of the AoS ones to put together a whole unit. This would save me a TON of trouble converting, cutting, repositioning, etc. to get a full unit that aren't all the same.

That rumor is originally from Bird in the Trees (BOLS) who was wrong a lot in the past. Larry Vela posted it here first, then it went to the other sites:

Would not get your hopes up yet based on these sources

The rest is right though. Reavers, warriors and clam lord have all been mentioned and in the big book it confirms reavers and warriors with different weapons. Flesh hounds coming out in plastic is fairly logical as its one of very few units khorne needs

Not in the one that's out for AoS boxset but as we saw with the Liberators they were updated to have grandblades etc etc. And Retributors also(star soul mace)

How about a box of plastic flesh hounds, and also a box of baby griffins?

I would be surprised not to see a Gryph-Hounds box, same with Flesh Hounds.

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.

Sigmanecrons are really Thousands sons? :O

I painted him over four years ago, I must have felt the Age of Sigmar approaching way back then

That new Sylvaneth box set with 3 treemen, 32 dyrads and 1 branchwraith looks like a really good deal.

I'd get it, except I have 2 unpainted treemen >.<

I'm sorry guys, when you say "Sigmarine with a backpack," what is it? I haven't seen the image yet.

The big hammer guys, the Retributors, have backpacks that look like little reliquaries.

Just to clarify, are the Dryads just the same Dryads as before but now with round bases and an All New higher price? The Treemen, same deal?

Round bases cost more to make than square bases.

Is that so?

The Dryads were 12 to a box, now 16 to a box, so actually slightly cheaper per model.

The new Dryads are 16 models for $41, which is a fantastic price.

The new Sylvaneth Warhost, which comes with 32 Dryads, 3 Treelords, and 1 Branchwraith is also a great price. Separately, using new prices, they are $82 + $183 + $15 = $270 USD, but sell as a package for $225.

It's also a nice model count to play AoS, and you get three, large, super-premium models.

Sadly, Branchwraith is still Finecast.

Well, no, it's not a "fantastic" price. It's still overpriced for what they are and lacking in value ----but---- I am pleased that they didn't reduce or keep the contents the same and increase the price.

Never happy eh HB.

He said to the guy who's been raving about the new terrain and Khorne models since this all got revealed.



I'm just not so wilfully ignorant of the world around me like some people are.

that was a cheap shot, dude...
you're better than that...

as you are a writer, i expect a wittier dig at Talys next time...
since you have said that your snark is part of your charm, i expect much more charming snark...

the new bundle of sticks giving a $45 discount is nice to see...
of course, you being in Oz, i can understand your bitterness over the prices...

cheers

@jah joshua: that should be a new formation lol "Bundle of Sticks" for the Sylvaneth army

Dryads are on 32 bases, just to make sure that you can't rank them up the daemons round bases in a movement tray way if you use them as they come in box

I'd say subtle, but it isn't really.

glad you liked that line...
i can't very well demand more wit from anyone if i don't display a little bit of my own...

seeing this latest box reminds me that i need to buy at least two of the new Treeman...
what a great model!!!
puts my old Marauder Druthu to shame:(...
all of the little sprites and animals that come in the kit are really fun bits, too...

Pre-order are up!

Nothing really new, pretty much have been mention before

Branchwraith in Finecast... BOHHHH!!!!

It's nice that;

a) the app has already updated and has the new units in it.
b) the formation battalion isn't based on purchasing the actual store bundle but is also already available for free on the app.

Also the rules for the various two hander units are pretty awesome and that formation is stupid good. Like probably only use in a narrative game with friends good.

Heh, the new Formation has Deep Strike.
