I picked up the Runemaster today, parts look really nice and crisp. Face looks even more stoic in-person and should totally work painted as a mask
Hey tides, whats your opinion of the muscle sculpting...the close ups that were posted made the arm and leg sculpting where it meets the torso look really bad

Local store was all out of dwarfs. Which was kind of dumb, as they only ordered one of everything, figuring everyone was sick of AoS stuff. Then they get bombarded with people asking about them. Doesn't hurt that they're the cheapest GW source in the vicinity, eBay included.
Ended up getting a Start Collecting Khorne Daemons box instead as I've always wanted to own some juggernauts and a Herald of Khorne. Crazy prices.
Will definitely pick up a (hopefully inevitable) Start Collecting Fyreslayer box if they ever make one. Will certainly be going back to get the Seraphon one ASAP.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

My local store had not a lot of dwarvish stuff, brought in a little bit of the new releases (2 of everything?) and instantly sold out of dwarves too.

A lot of people were predicting AoS would pick up once we saw new releases for more conventional factions, perhaps this release will see a change of the steady withering AoS had been seeing.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. A couple of stores who only ordered 1 or 2 of each item selling out doesn't mean much at all, lol.

It's that dwarf fan base, baby first 8th Ed special edition army book to sell out in 2-3 days I believe it was. Good thing in the US at the time we could order Friday afternoon.

Makes you wonder why they didn't do a special edition for this battletome then, maybe they are gone for good... Shame as I would have considered one for Vampire Counts or Empire.
Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

That's true. I could speculate but that does no good. I guess wait the rest of release out. Buying the special Ed. In 8th was basically for those collectors who want their main armies. One just sits on the shelf

I like the Fyreslayer releases. Not sure if I will buy some kits but I focus mostly on 'Chaos' forces in the WFB/AoS setting anyway. Seeing the miniatures on a table quite often gives a different impression than on pics. The Stormcast Eternals for example are a lot better than I had feared they would be based on only seeing photos of them.

Yeah I found that with the SM Centurions when they came out. Looks far better when you have them in your hands.

Strongly disagree. Nothing will ever redeem the Marketing Pattern Mini-Dreadknight.

Considering the speed at which people post on Warseer (which is approximately between that of a snail and a rock) we may have to wait a little to get some clarifications.

When the hell did they become 21 different factions and not just WoC, DoC, Skaven, Beastmen, and then the Bloodbound and Everchosen thrown on top?

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
What I'd like to know is what's the difference between Brayherds and Warherds. Because Beastmen were never the faction I would have seen as desperately needing to be cut into subfactions.

Brayherds are gors and ungors, warherds are minotaur ang gorghon/Cygor. It's a distinction that already exists on their scrolls.

Chaos Trolls, maybe? Admittedly they aren't very Thunderous, but they're the only thing I can think of that doesn't have an apparent faction (besides maybe Monsters of Chaos).

Not very scornful either
Chaos Ogres, maybe?
It would be interesting to see if Master Clan has anything more than just Grey Seers...
I loved rackham bigger miniatures the style was quite different ( for example uraken gobbos were almost chibi headed scale) then you have more accurate scaling on Red box stuff that look like small people in comparison with other ranges and so forth.
There is a market tendency for 32mm or bigger these days and thats quite obvious.
You may say that GW was more of an accident that a deliberated stylistic choice and that is debatable but the market scaling in general is getting bigger?
40mm scale has some following in the historicals arena.

They are sub-factions based on keywords on the warscrolls. Mainly used in-game to distinguish units for the purposes of buffs and other synergies. I guess they will now become proper mini-factions. With the complete freedom of army building in AoS, there really is no downside to separating units into smaller factions like this.
