Definitely Alpharius.

We aren't getting Alpharius for a while.

So is this a jigsaw where each piece is a seperate teaser then?

It appears so.

Nah it's a khornate goat-demon on a stolen custodes tank that accidentally got transported to a Blood Bowl field.

You don't know that! This could be his big reveal!

Unless they are being silly because the fanbase nailed the image off that first piece and now its a big joke to them.

EDIT:

Totally confirmation, amirite?! FW liked my claim that it was Alpharius!

This this point it's pretty clear they are showing off parts of multiple mini's and it's not a single image.

How do you know we haven't got him already?

You're better than that H.B.M.C.

As always, apologies if you've seen these already.

Whilst cool I think the wolves are £20 too much. Shame as I was looking forward to getting them.

They're quite large:

and the scenic bases are nice

I love that Custodes Dreadnought. So cool that it has a flaming sword, it's just going to be hard to get it into melee.

The Wolf-kin are awesome and I need to get them for Russ but that £70 is a bit steep.

Edit: they are pretty huge though.

If only they were for 40k.

Looks much nicer than a flying Rhino.

What would you use Zug as in 40k?

When I posted it only the custodes vehicle had been put into the post, lol.

Once again, not having the forward intakes on the Custodes skimmers as eagle heads is a missed opportunity. Even so it looks sweet. Now that FW have revealed the basic armour units I'm really looking forward to what other infantry they get.

Lies.

Well, matter of taste ofc, but I'm genuinely gutted it looks like we won't be seeing the Flyno, that's one of the images from the Heresy artbooks that's stuck in my mind even years later. It's also a little sad that GW/FW seem to be moving firmly away from the core idea of the old STC-based technology of the Imperium - now everyone gets their own special vehicle aesthetic, which is good for selling models and some of the models do look rather nice, but the point was supposed to be that the STC reconfigured the core designs to use the best available local tech and materials to meet the intended purpose, hence why the Imperium's MBT is basically a farm tractor with guns on it and the most elite force of warriors in the Imperium rode around in the same metal bawx as everyone else but theirs was gold-plated and had antigrav engines.

It's a bit more subtle than that. After all, there's been a significant difference in look between Marine and Guard vehicles, and this is the same. However, the details share common themes. The engine nozzles, bolt and laser weapon muzzles, the antigravity plates and the other details all mean that it's clearly an Imperial vehicle.

End of the day, can't win 'em all.

I absolutely agree and i'll be making 'emperors gift' rhinos for my custodes when i get round to them.

Maybe not from FW, but I'm not convinced that GW would make plastic kits for Custodes and SoS infantry without a plan for a expanded later 40k release. Of course that could lead to a similar situation to the split in 30/40k Mechanicus units, which would suck.

I am genuinely psyched for Custodes vehicles. With how expensive the units are this could be an easy army to transport.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that 40K rules appear for all three vehicles, and eventually a usable (if extremely limited) 40k Custodes army list.

Would be cool to paint him up as a super mutant suicide from fallout and put him as a Tnnk Busta nob or something g.

Nice models, a lot of niche stuff though. Not lovin' the new Daemon fella though. A bit underwhelming.

Kind of sucks that edgar skomorowski quit forgeworld, his style is missed. But Zug looks good, i'm glad they aren't overdoing the blood bowl models with scenic bases and stuff. They just need to be priced well and fit in with the other models to be worthwhile.

Yeah, I'm going to be interested to see the prices for Zug and the Halfling/Ogre pair from earlier in the thread.
