I love how there's this little debate about whether or not the model can be used in 40k, when it's clearly just a Tzeentch daemon/sorcerer/champion and could easily fit in a CSM or daemons army if you really fething wanted it to. Nothing about this model makes it unique to the AoS universe at all, at least not any more than any of the dozens of other daemon models that have been released.

It's just a sorcerer on a disk at the end of the day, one that's "fancier" than normal and costs twice as much.

Humm that kind of applies to most miniatures if you think about it... even the mighty glottkin can be just a guo and the other brothers just a lord and sorcerer.
Most miniatures these days can be used/ converted to other games or systems if you wanted too.

Good Deity above, Navarro!

Do you mean to say that GW figures are not jewel-like objects of magic and wonder?

That's HERESY!!!!!

Funny enough they do have the magic to empty my wallet many times.

Since there is no news to discuss, probably best to just let this thread lie until the inevitable dwarf spoilers are leaked... can't be long now! But nothing to be gained by discussing with a lack of information till then.

In case anyone forgot about the leaked dwarf sprue:



I like! I wonder if there will be others? Or if the rest will just be reboxing.

This much of a change in slayer aesthetic? There's gotta be more.
And they wouldn't like to be selling the current slayers, which haven't even gone through the finecast transformation, in bulk, I'd guess, so expect some ridiculously gaudy way overpriced slayer kit with none of the character, but a lot of fething baubles slapped on

Ah but that's a Fyre Slayer one of the mercenary Ur-gold loving dworfs

Not one of the ordinary hard working 'normal' duardininin

I think the fyre dworfs are going to end up looking fairly distinct with the duardininin picking up the leftovers of the old dwarf range

My prediction for the Fyre Slayers is:

1x Hero
1x Priest/Totem Bearer
1x Shiny new slayer boxset - makes 5, on 32mm bases
1x Fyre Slayer riding a monster (maybe the Lava Worms that were mentioned).

I.cannot.wait

The first mortal Order release, and when it smashes apart Stormcast sales, GW are gonna get a wake up call and realize most of us who play fantasy want Dwarves, Elves and puny humans with no shoes rather than Space Marines that get sent back to a respawn point every time they die.

I would guess some kind of war machine rather than a monster. They said something about bringing back the axe thrower machine on Warhammer Weekly.

I do like a lot of the new stuff gw is churning out for AOS...

I think all their new stuff is fantastic.

The issue is always the prices they charge. Even from a retailer with a 20% discount it's still too much.

I like the Stormcast Eternals :-(

I will probably buy a regiment of slayers if they can be ranked up on 20x20 bases. Otherwise I'll be scouring eBay to snag a metal regiment.

I have it in my head that if I build one or two more fantasy armies I will always be able to get a game in. This is probably not true...

That's fine. But personally I want to see the mortal dudes. The dwarves and the human. The small and ordinary people who are just struggling to survive, if they still exist, that is. That's why I'm watching out for the dwarf releases.

They'll likely be on 32mm and with wide open sculpts meaning they would struggle to rank up even on 25mm squares.

If you're still playing 8th or KoW or anything other than AoS, you won't be doing it in a GW store so won't be bound to use their minis only - why not get a set of Avatars of War Dwarf Bezerkers? It looks like a fantastic kit of plastic not-slayers that ranks up well on 20mm square bases.

To be honest, it doesn't really matter what bases you put your minis on, as long as it's appropriate for the model. They'd rank up just fine if the bases are big enough. Though for my tastes, I enjoy rounds a lot more than squares. Takes longer to move stuff mind, but they look nicer.

Anywho... Come on rumourmongers- need to see more dollies!!

I don't like much about AoS, but I am curious what the Steamhead Duardin are going to look like as a faction if they actually get new models in the coming months.

Im very curious too and I think they are going to be really bright and fiery... I really want to make some sort of darkish scout dwarf faction though.

Agreed, the new dwarves (I'm not deigning to call them whatever bs copyright name GW thought up) are the faction I'd like to see the most. If they look great, I could even fathom the idea of getting a small lot of them. Small games work well with AOS from what I understand, plus the simple ruleset means I could maybe get non-gamers like my wife into it.

From what I understood, the steamhead are the current range of dwarves and they will not be new relaese for it (at least in the short to medium term). All the new dwarves release will be for the new subfaction of fireslayers.

Yep, Sad Panda only confirmed Fyre Slayers for Jan IIRC.

The Steamhead will likely be the Dwarf new releases of 2014 (Longbeards, Hammerers, Iron Drakes, Iron Breakers, Gyrocoptors and Characters) repackaged. And there is no rumoured date for that happening either.

Just for kicks, from this week's White Dwarf. I don't think you can buy this as a web bundle any time soon, though.



I wonder how many hours to paint!!

Oooooh shiney

Would love to see a higher quality pic of that (without buying white dwarf obviously).

Interesting that there's a tide of slanesh(sp) demons coming from the right.

Probably a few thousand. There's several hundred models, if not more than a thousand in that image and the chaos fortress is also fully painted. GW's painters probably took their holiday after painting all of that.

Can't wait for the dwarf release to come and go. I'd like to see what they do with the armies of men and elves.

Man, I literally thought those were space marines especially the ones closest to the camera, which have something that looks close to an ultramine symbol on their shoulder pads...

That is very very impressive.

Sigmarines can make some pretty cool looking Blood Angels. Or Custodes.

That's a shame. The Fyre Slayers hold no interest for me.

Spoiler:

Unless that's a display in Warhammer World or they explicitly say in the caption otherwise, I have to think that that pic's been 'Shopped. GW uses the clone tool in a ton of their marketing pics.

They got the big chaos models in the pic but no celestant prime to combat them!!! Terrible!! Sigmar is slacking off!!! Archaon needs Ghal Maraz smashed into his ugly helmeted face......

the legs don't work for me as Space Marine legs, at all...
somehow, it works on the Custodes, though, as they have a more archaic armor style...

looking forward to some Fire Slayers next month!!!
bring on the beards...

Agreed on the legs. The chest armor is all wrong as well. However, if someone brought those models to the table, I wouldn't be further about them being played as BA.

I, too, am looking forward to some dwarf action.
