Why not a flaming meteor hammer?

Much better photo, im sure people can remount the wings if desired, still think he is a bit stumpy, may try and strip of the armour and sculpt in the missing skin, shouldnt be too hard! he fits in with the dragon cat mounts tho, and with the chunky hammer handed sigmerite range in general. Not sold just yet but getting better. Price will probably kill it for me tho, unless the misses wants it.

Aleguzzeler Gargant... seriously..

Because that would be ridiculous.

Man, I am digging that Drake. Think I might have to get me one.

Aleguzzler gargaunt? Thats an odd name

I like how it looks kind of clumsy, like actual lizards do sometimes.

Those armour plates..... Why....?

I'm sure GW will sell this beast to the AoS players whether it had armour or not.
However, they'd probably sell a shed load more to other fantasy players if it didn't have that ridiculous armour and the usual GW icons.
(At least make the armour optional)

I sometimes wonder if they are really trying to make money.

I wonder what if they realize that neck armor basically makes it so the dragon cant lower its head. Yet another over the top model with some random dude swinging a hammer.

You realise it's segmented armour, right?Thus allowing for movement. Which the LC's dracoths have as well I might add..

The armor plates look like they are detachable, plus they look alright ... should be effective against arrow volleys and whatnot

Segmented neck armour, over a chestplate with a large spike sticking up in the middle. So as he lowers his head, he's going to shiv himself in the trachea through the joints in his neck armour.

Orruks

They really went there

GW is getting too much grief over this one. No less a source than J.R.R. Tolkien, in his later years, concluded that "orc" should be properly spelt "ork" for philological reasons. This only came to light in 1993 so turns out GW was ahead of the curve there. They are on solid ground with orruk, too. It's an apparent cognate of uruk, which is Black Speech for orc, not to mention the common stem órok. What's Tolkien got to do with Warhammer Fantasy? Well, he's the only reason we're talking about orcs in the first place. Now, ogors ... I got nothing for ogors ... but in a world of Stormcast Concussors, so be it!

Well, it's pretty obvious that it's stylised.I doubt in reality that chest plate would jut out so it stabs him through the trachea lol.

Black Orruks? Don't they mean Ironjaw Orruks?

I think "Gobbos" would have been better than "grotz" - "Night Gobbos".

Anyway, glad they are sticking around as a.) I have an army of them and b.) they're awesome! :-)

Screw the Stormcast stuff. I want Tzeentch news!!

Well... at least we know what it would look like if a dragon humped a dreadnaught while being ridden by a sanguinary guard...

Not terrible but a missed oppurtunity if those plates can't come off for sure, and so many times I have wished AoS wings of all kinds weren't covered in icons...

My guess is that at least a few of these plates won't be removable because they make for an easier mould if they are integrated to cover up some organic parts of the anatomy.

That lizard seems like an interesting concept for once, but the front legs look pretty odd, and the armor (oh the armor) not only makes it more evident but also ruins the model completely for me. If you have ever worn anything that resembles plate armour, you know those neck plates are not going to work as intended. That armor (not just the neck plates) looks very silly.

The only thing that makes sense is a lightning hammer!

Pretty much. Segmented lames like that ("lames" are the articulared pieces)really only flex well the other three ways that the neck would flex, but not very well down towards the chest, especially in that length of sections. My suit of plate has a breast-and backplate that's segmented as two plates, upper and lower, and it flexes a little when I bend forwards and backwards, but not a whole heck of a lot. You only get so much before the upper plate scrapes against the next one down and stops.

SO.. yeah... Looking at the close up pics, I'm growing steadily less sold on this.

Its a pretty kit, but once you start looking at the details, you notice things like the neck-stabbing chestplater, the similarly-stabby knee armour that would prevent him from standing flat on the ground without gouging out the top of his front feet... and the wing decorations that lack any sort of hinge to allow the wings to unfurl. That would make sense if he was supposed to be unable to fly while held subordinate to the Sigmarite... but the rules make it clear that he can, which would suggest that his wings are supposed to be functional.


Wingbones aside (as that's an aesthetic design choice, rather than technically a flaw) it's an awesome looking dragon that has been seriously let down by a lack of attention to detail.

Rules got posted. Edit: as in the link above.

Those riders' shoulder pads are positively Khadorian too...

Nah, with his arms lowered he can see to his left and right, that's treason in Khador.

They just seem utterly incapable of flight to me. The wings and forearms just don't have any natural flow or rhythm to them.

That, and it's another OTT rules release. Good luck to the community points gurus who have to figure out how to slot in something can eat 3 chaos lords in a turn.
