Want to know more about the gods of the Mortal Realms?
Here's a quick guide on where to find out more about them in Black Library fiction:
Sigmar
You know this guy: he lives in the Realm of Azyr, forged the Stormcast army, seeks to save the Mortal Realms from the dominion of Chaos.
For the tale of Sigmar, follow the main Realmgate Wars novel series – the best place to start is the novella The Gates of Azyr.

Malerion
Reputed to haunt the Realm of Shadow. Very little is known of this mysterious figure, though the followers of the lost Chaos god Slaanesh seek him out, believing him partly responsible for their patron's disappearance.
We haven’t seen him in any story yet, but it’s only a matter of time…
Grungni
Smith-god of the duardin and staunch ally of Sigmar.
He hasn’t shown up in person yet, but his handiwork is evident in the forging of every Simgarite-clad Stormcast Eternal.
Gorkamorka
The two-headed god of the Greenskins and one-time ally of Sigmar. His orruk followers wage unending war against the forces of Chaos (and are having a great time doing it too!).
We haven’t seen him in any story yet, but where there’s a good scrap, the orruks wont be long in finding it.
Grimnir
A fiery god of the duardin, his form was shattered in battle against the mother of all Ur-Salamanders, the mighty Vulkatrix.
Only the Fyreslayers know what became of him, and we may well be seeing more of them in some new fiction very soon…
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Chaos and Wrath? Damn it, How many more models dose Khorn need?!?!?! This is ridiculous. I won't touch AoS with a ten foot pole at this point, but they could at least release some nice Slaanesh and Tzeetch Models I could use for kit bashing in 40k....

Am I the only one who's not seeing the "race" section on GW's AoS webstore anymore? Wonder why that change.
I'm not seeing it either. Could be a database error, or it could be that with the way AoS is partitioned, sorting by race didn't make any sense (There were only 3 Seraphon models, with the majority being under daemons).

But what's the plural for Duardin? Or... what's the singular?
Was wondering what these slayers might look like with obsidian skin and burning eyes... but probably not wondering enough to do more than try a tester.

Mengel Miniatures brought this up already but Tomb King art spotted and possible new zombie sculpt (seeing as GW usually won't make art of models that don't/won't exist)? Not that familiar with zombies myself. Also potential savage orc on wyvern dual kit with shaman coming from the looks of the other pic?

Looking at the teaser for next week white dwarf, I saw that multiple chaos models are no longer avaible today. Not out of stock, just no longer avaible and they are not even old models. Maybe that is the teaser that these guys getting there round bases. Do not know but here are the guys in question:

If GW finally put out a decent looking zombie kit after all these years stuck with the abysmal original, and they turn out to be AoS-oversized to the point you can't use them plausibly for anything else, I will literally flip my desk.

All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

I saw this pic on FB, but it didn't talk about zombies. Instead the interesting part was the big creature in the background, which has been seen before in a pre-AoS Tomb King artwork, looking exactly the same. So it could be a big Undead-creature on the way.

Make sure you film that and post it on YouTube for us Francis!
But yes, at this point, I think it is safe to assume that anything 'new' that GW makes for AoS will be made in the new, bigger scale.

I'll be able to post a comparison pic with Grim Burlokkson come Wednesday when I get my slayers. Not sure how Grimm Burloksson scales with the other 2013 releases, but I guess he will be the same size/bigger than the new slayers. He was on a 20mm square base and yet dominates a 32mm round. People like to make out these slayers are the size of terminators, but from the pics they look to be the same size as the 2013 dwarfs.
Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

The 'Creatures' box has been sold out a while now, but the other two are still available on the US store. For how much longer, who knows?

This is indeed the way they look. I guess they come with 32mm bases.
Indeed they do- it's in their product description on the webstore. Though tbh, I'm not sure that's really an indicator of increase in scale. I think it just makes your standard infantry have a greater presence on the table IMO (as we saw with Space Marines)

The giant figures in the back look like the Morghasts released with Nagash during the End Time run.

What's with the weird eyelets in the beast's back ridge? Does it double as a tarp?

Don't really know NZD conversion rates, but it looks like the tablet edition of the battletome is much much cheaper than the print version (less than half price)!
Also, Undead End Times gets a full circle base repackage :-)
