That... Looks like a true scale model.

Also my guess is £25.

**Bottle**

What an awesome model!

**Kilkrazy**

He reminds me of a Space Eldar Tau Space Pope.

Nice model, though. There are possibilities for conversions, and these centrepiece models made a good addition to an army.

Based on the size with the base, it probably will come in a box and cost £25.

**angelofvengeance**

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that's some sorta gribbly flesh stalk popping out there.

**BorderCountess**

Looks like I can finally use my converted Sorcerer on Disc in Age of Sigmar as he was intended to be. Never felt right making him a fighty Lord.

**jonolikespie**

Despite how much I have disliked from AoS so far I do actually really like that model. It feels properly chaosy and isn't in a weird pose. If it isn't super expensive I might pick one up.

**Bottle**

I'd say £25 too.

**MaxT**

Pans Labyrinth called, it wants its monster back.

It's a bit of a stretch to say he looks like the Pale Man.

It evokes a similar feel with me too, it was the first thing I thought when I saw the art.

**Zywus**

The artwork of that eye-guy looks very cool but I don't feel the model gives the same impression.

The sidevanes don't look to be part of he heads as much as they look tacked on, angular and non-organic. Similar to the ears Khorne berserkers put on their helmets.

Otherwise it's a pretty neat model. I like that it's kinda slender.

**NAVARRO**

Again another good release for AoS and Chaos.
Its time to move to another faction though.

That's what I thought. I'd prefer it to be closer to the artwork.

Unfortunately, angular and non-organic are words that could be used to describe many of GW's current plastic figures.

It's much easier to create organic shapes with traditional sculpting methods, which unfortunately GW doesn't use with its plastic design.

I feel like GW has spent way too long sculpting armour in CAD and are now really messing up flesh on WHFB models. A lot of the big monster kits recently I have found really underwhelming for that exact reason.

**Manchu**

The sorcerer looks like he will be really fun to paint up. Gosh, just when I thought I was going to be able to pass over this whole Everchosen thing ...

I'm a fan of heroic scale models, but does anyone else find that axe to be ludicrously oversized?

[edit] To specify, the one on the sprue.

The axe is the best part.

Seriously, aren't GW dwarfs supposed to have chimp-like strength and superhuman stamina? Why wouldn't they carry huge feth-off axes?
The fire slayer looks amazing on the sprue. I wonder what he looks like assembled.

The Tzeentch guy looks pretty good, too, but not AOS prices good.

That sums up quite nicely the problem i have with a lot of their recent kits.

The knights what basses are those? Cavalry ones or the larger circles?

**ImAGeek**

They're oval cavalry ones.

**slamma**

wow… $100 USD for 3 of the varanguard……

**Bottle**

j

It's the bigger size, 75x46mm oval bases

**Eldarain**

The Varanguard do appear to be really large minis. A Stormcast is bigger than a Terminator and they dwarf them.

**migooo**

Well I'm really only interested in the steeds the rest of the kit is fairly useless to me. Ill probably have to rebase them on cavalry bases though.

**NinthMusketeer**

Calling it now; Tzeentch sorcerer $50

No, he seems similarly sized to the celestant prime. I'd expect at least $80.

Right?

I don't even know what to say to this. I mean, the models aren't bad, but the older Chaos Knights were absolutely stellar models as well...and came out at $25/5 not $100 for 3.

I don't even have words...I just...I don't know how on earth they think a product like that is going to move...especially a plastic kit.

Wow...just...

**Apple fox**

Chaos sorcerer looks close to win ! Now if only we could get cool stuff like that for slaanesh :9

The knights are super bland.

Does he? He looks smaller than that to me.

**Bottle**

Yeah, a 50mm base I reckon
