Preorders are up on the New Zealand page:

So what could have fit in a (larger) clamshell needs a box now. Huh.

How many sprues will the guy be made out of?

**Zywus**

Best Sigmarine so far IMO.

I won't purchase it of course but I do kinda like the pose.

It looks like he's made out of one full size sprue.

**Talys**

I really want 40k back, but gawd, that Azyros/Venator sprue is gonna make me a very happy hobbyist.

60 bucks for 3 figs makes me sad :(

Yeah, for sure :( Kind of expected it, though. I'm glad it wasn't Centurion pricing ($78)... I had been bracing myself, since I had known from the start the Prosecutors box would be an auto-buy for me. My wife wants 9 prosecutors (the 3 from starter box, plus 2 more of boxes), and Venator and/or Azyros -- but she plays at AoS at a friend's home. I have no idea what I'm going to do for her to transport 11 winged dudes. She will probably want to play Celestant Prime too >.<

Incidentally, Prosecutors do not really transport well in the new citadel zig-zag cases. The wings are a bit catchy, and there are overall just too many parts sticking out.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I think the Prosecutors would benefit from a large and spacious magnetized container.

I want some, as well as the hero, but I dread the thought of bringing them anywhere. Especially as I usually just toss all my plastic junk in some Mantic VHS boxes whenever I want to play a game, and I'm good to go.

Don't think that's going to work with this new stuff.

**Wehrkind**

I realized what was bugging me about the Venator. He is basically trying this pose:

but failing at it. Instead of leaping away and firing behind him, he's doing a strange version of this:

It really does look like the model was originally standing on stairs, with his right side higher than the left, then just got lifted into the air mid process without addressing the legs and how far apart they are.

**jah-joshua**

i think the pose looks cool...
it works very nicely on the Venator firing his bow, which is the version i like the most...
that little Phoenix is awesome

...
i am digging the "rays of light" style they have gone for with the wings of these guys...
GW's designers are really taking their plastics to a whole new level this year!!!

cheers

I thought it was a phoenix as well, but it's just an eagle apparently.

Those upgrade packs make the Sigmarines look 1000x better imo!

Still don't fancy collecting them though

**angelofvengeance**

Upgrade bits:

Celestial Warbringers chamber:

Knight Excelsior chamber:

**migooo**

I really like the round shields and the tridents

**reds8n**

Forthcoming, presumably

**angelofvengeance**

Nice!

**RoninXiC**

They look pretty... Thick

**Rygnan**

I don't mind the stormcast, unlike many, but I think that hornblower is the dumbest thing I've seen from AoS so far. Blows a horn, but has a helmet on. Really? Have the designers just given up on the stormcast at this point? Hopefully this means we'll be getting some more non-stormcast soon, because that's just stupid. If anything it could be the first unhelmeted eternal, but they had to make it match the rest and make it stupid

**TrollSlayerThorak'Khun'Na**

Musicians in a lot of the armies are dumb. Daemons blowing horns is ridiculous to me.

**TheWaspinator**

Yeah, I seriously question the ability of a metal man to blow a horn.

**H.B.M.C.**

He appears to be trying to put it into his left eye socket.

**jonolikespie**

You know, I might actually be interested in AoS if they did a release for any of the armies I used to play.

Guess my wallet it safe for the foreseeable future.

**Demandread**

While it probably is a horn. In my mind and for my sanity I will assume it is really a spyglass.

**Mymearan**

I wasn't too hot on the Stormcast at first, but each new release is winning me over bit by bit. Love that command group!

**Gitzbitah**

TRUMPETS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

I also think it looks like he's tryin to look through it- as if he can't understand why it's not making any noise. The upgrade packs do look awesome.

**Necros**

It's easy! Sigmar wills the winds of a hurricane through the mouthpiece of the mask and through the horn, thus making the sound of celestial trumpets, thus heralding the arrival of his primarch, Sigmarcus Aurelius.

**TrollSlayerThorak'Khun'Na**

Prosecutors + Knights + Celestent Prime... I quite like the all-flying army theme.

**usernamesareannoying**

Kind of weird that the venator doesn't have any melee attacks. Although 6 shooting attacks is pretty sick

He doesn't have a melee weapon on him, so it's not that weird.

Take a look at the Knight-Venator in the 360 view. No dagger, no sword, nothing. Just the eagle.

I'm not sure why people keep referring to the Stormcast Eternals as "metal men". They're still mortal flesh underneath the armor, and it's not like there are not eye holes on the helmets so why not a mouth hole?

**BobtheInquisitor**

Clearly he is trying to wrap his mind around the idea of a horn with finite internal volume and infinite surface area. Give the guy a break.
