Haha those AU$ prices!

But, wow, another Stormcast battletome?!

Wow, expected them to start subdividing the Stormcast but didn't expect it would be so soon. Cool anyway and looking forward to pics.

Pestilens are getting a book, despite being in the Grand Alliance: Chaos battletome.

Remember that the "Extremis Vault" is what Sigmar opened, bringing the Celestant-Prime into the fight.

Good to see the sigmarines are finally getting some releases. If there's one thing missing from AoS it's more golden dudes with weapon variations.


The bundle of 5 tiny glue bottles is a bit weird.

Back when I bought citadel brand super-glue, it usually dried before even half of it was used up due to faulty lid-design though, so I guess this might be a way to get more utility out of their glue.

"Concussors" is a pretty funny name.

No body is getting my Old Red no matter how nice the model looks!

The mini glue bottles must have been made just for me. I only use super glue once a month or so, and it keeps drying up on me.

What brand do you use? Your problem probably isn't the frequency of use but the components of the glue or the design of the bottle.

I bought a 20g bottle of Gale Force Nine's super glue for about 10$, roughly 5 years ago (you can get it online for less than 5$). It has occasionally been lain dormant for several months between uses and still works as well as the day I bought it. (still have more than half of the glue left)

I am very bad at replacing tops securely on bottles. Ruined my wife's diary once by sticking a bottle of super glue to it. On topic the hint for the following week is Dracothion. Could we be seeing a model for the King of dragons? Surely it would be even bigger (and more expensive) than Archaon.

Revell glue for plastic is the best stuff I've ever used. Never going back.

I don't think we would ever see Dracothion since he's a celestial being of gigantic proportions, but dracoth being half dragons of sort, we could maybe see a full Stormcast dragon.

Strewth. Someone remind me how long ago the last Stormcast Battletome was released?

A box of 5x0.5g of glue, for a mighty total of 2.5g... ... ... I... I... I do not... wut?

I expect it'll generate a lot of excitement for people who don't realise that pound shops are a thing.

Pics are up on the French warhammer forum. Someone with better skills than me can transfer them over. First thought is that the riders look cool but the mounts are a little podgy. Second thought is what is that in the background?http://www.servimg.com/view/16186073/174

It would help to put a link to the French warhammer forum. Cause as it stands you linked to a single image...

For my gluing needs I use Testors plastic glue, but not the orange tube, I go for the more liquidy kind with the long needle applicator thingy. And for super glue I get Loctite gel super glue from Home Depot, it's real cheap and works great. The gel fills gaps good and you can cut/file it down when it hardens if you need to.

Ok. http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=239537

I'm betting those will be Varanguard price. Also they look like the Lord Celestant with different weapons, not terribly exciting honestly.

Thanks!









They look pretty nice, but 2 to a box at $65 is kinda pricey...

Well it looks like I was right about the big dragon =O

It says in French: The Twin formations of Dracothian Guards and THE STAR DRAKE (on which we will come back to later)

Little early to call that a dragon, IMO. Definitely looks like one, but the wings also kinda look...artificial almost.

I think they look cool, definitely pudgier than the starter box model though. Maybe these dracoths haven't seen enough battle/cardio action yet.

Looks like there's a Stormcast dragon kit.

Drakoth riders look good, do we know what the scroll looks like yet (or did I miss it)? I'd prolly mix the fella from the starter set in to the unit and use something else for my leader, been wanting to get the celestant prime for a while now.

They're basically just the Paladins(Hammers, Axes, and Glaives) with the addition of hand crossbow/shields and swords guys.

Those look good. Somehow chunkier than the starter set version(?), but decent.

But since I've absolutely no use for sigmarite-armoured dragon-horses, at £20 each or otherwise, I'll pass. I'm more interested in a better look at that blurry thing with wings and gaping maw in the background.

I like the models mostly. Not 100% on the head of them. Looks a little like the old Lizardmen saurus cavalry heads.

I think the crossbow guys are my favorite though.

Ugh, I hate the naming conventions for these guys. They're pretty much all exactly the same, but give one a hammer instead of a spear and it suddenly becomes A NEW UNIT!

There's four different sets of rules for these guys and literally the only physical difference between the models is what weapon they're wielding in their right hand. Just seems asinine to me, like when they started calling Dark Elf warriors "bleakswords" or "darkshards" or whatever the crap just because you gave them a different weapon load-out.

I've had a lot of stick about being negative towards new models on this forum in past weeks

but I can't be the only person who feels an overwhelming sense of meh at another variation of the golden guy?

The genestealer hybrids were very nice miniatures, but these are 3 steps backwards for the design ethos at GW.

I'm actually less bothered by these than the "main" Stormcast range.

These are, from what I can tell by translating, literally just the Paladins(Retributors->Concussants, Decimators->Desolators, and Protectors->Fulminators) mounted on Dracoths with the addition of a "jack of all trades" in the form of the Tempestors with crossbows, shields, and whatever they have slung on their backs(looks to be swords).

Archaon's dragon-mount-thingy had a similar thing going on with more fingers/struts than usual for dragon designs. Though this goes a bit further. Reminds me of some of DnD's metallic dragons.

What makes them look artificial in my eyes, is the old fantasy/painting trope of making the membranes a different colour to the fingers. The canvas colour here makes me think of the sails of chinese junks.

See, I was actually thinking that it might have been a kind of construct--I just moved the pictures over, didn't look. Missed the Star Drake.
