Considering it's an Age of Sigmar page? Probably.

I posted about Tomb Kings getting the boot. I expect it will just be ignored.

So your name is Paul?

Oh no, you've figured out my secret identity!

They've been destroyed by Nagash prior to this new setting, so probably not. Still, you guys have your legacy rules so you're not completely out of the game.

Probably not upset, but probably a lot of groans and the rolling of eyes.

Probably about as much as Nippon and Pygmies.

Yes, a Maw Crusher, finally my dream of having a creature that crushes the mouths of other creatures will become a reality!
Your days of having uncrushed maws are at an end, human scum!

They'll be back... in a last ditch effort to save 40k.
Afterall, they did show photos of squats in the last visions and even used the phrase 'squats'.

I'm just waiting for them to use the phrase 'squatted' when next describing photos of tomb kings in visions. :-)

GW are continuing to return to social media

https://www.facebook.com/GWWarhammerAgeofSigmar/

is the link to their official AoS page.

Same deal as the FW page

We want this to be a page that all Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans can enjoy.
This is a Games Workshop community page and we have three simple rules that we need you to follow:
1. Be cool, be positive.
2. Please do not post links to websites of any sort other than games-workshop.com
3. Please use the wall for posting photos of Citadel Miniatures only.
And a quick note on rules questions - we can’t give you official answers. We’re not the Games Designers, they’re locked up in the studio. We might be able to give you some general advice or point you in the right direction but better to try and work it out with your gaming buddies. We’ve also no idea who’d win in a fight between Nagash and Archaon but we’re happy to speculate with you!

Can see a lot of trolling on this page methinks.

Lol

Was thinking the exact same thing.

Must say that a maw crusha is intriguing. At least it should be better than these utterly disapointing Stormcasts (the more I see the star drake, the less I like him)

I would be interested in a Star Drake...if it weren't $140.

At the Maggoth Lord price point($76) I'd be in, and Mortarch price point would be a "Maybe".

$140? Nope! Not touching it with my own cash.

In canadian dollar the price difference is 4$. That would really affect your decision ?

Agreed with you that the the star drake price is absurd

Wait - Maw Crusher = Wyvern, is that a thing? I actually like the sound of that

Sorry if this was covered!

Well, we're just assuming that at the moment but it seems likely based on that monster flowchart thing (there's no Wyvern mentioned separately, it mentions front limbs being wings for it). I'm looking forward to seeing an updated Wyvern, the old one wasn't great but the special characters (can't remember his name) one was pretty cool.

Also ties in with the long standing rumours of people claiming to have seen a plastic wyvern, and that the Orruk release will have a big-box unit.

GW is finally coming out of its social media blackout. Wow. Never thought I'd see the day. Fingers crossed that the butthurt brigade doesn't ruin it and hurt the whole community in the process...

~Tim?

If there's a new plastic Wyvern and the scale of it is anything like Archaon and the StarDrake this might be glorious.

If GW sees its own shadow do they close down their Facebook?

Or am I mixing up two different things...

I think it's more likely that it'll be in the Magmadroth ballpark.

Aaaand they've already deleted the first few posts, including the one asking about Tomb Kings :x

haha, that's clever
I can understand why GW is reluctant to be on social media again, taking comments, but times have changed and it's great they're giving it a go with a proper launch. The BL page is really fun and FW appeals to the awesomenessnessness (now a new word) of their models. I do hope it doesn't get ruined.

I envision GW holding a gun to the Facebook page and yelling "We're offing this sucker if there's even a WORD we don't like! Ya hear me?"

+1

I believe it will not be as big as Archaon. Though truth be told if they change the Orks fluffwise they may change this best too...

A new wyvern would be great. The old model is really nice, I think, but it is somewhat dated.

I just really wish that GW would give their monsters posability. I am absolutely okay with all my Ork Trukks looking basically the same, as vehicles look good with conformity, but it looks daft when you have three dragons and they are all in the exact same pose.

"Just" buy the Azhag Wyvern. It is a lovely miniature and 90$ is probably 50$ less expensive than the new one...

I'm shocked. Shocked!

Interestingly, I can still get to/comment on the post, they've just hidden it from their page I think.

No gak they're going to delete posts like that. What are they going to say? They aren't designers or managers running the page, they are web people.

My fiance works as a public relations agent for a medium sized town in Germany and social media is kind of herspeciality.

First rule of social media:
Ignore the trolls, never fight them.

Like I said, not surprised by it. Just exploring the limits of what they'll respond to/acknowledge.

That said, some sort of response as to if I can use non-GW TK models in a GW store would be cool. My local store wont even answer that.

It's on the store/retail guys. The guys running the FB page are just social media. If they can't comment on rules queries, I doubt they can comment on policy either.

GW have always been slack about intellectual property. It tripped them up big time in the Chapter House case.

..GW can slap (TM) on every variant of Stormcast they want, for example, but that would not stop some other company from producing "big armored guys with hammers" miniatures that people could use instead of actual GW miniatures, which is what would potentially be what costs GW money.

The biggest problem with "Big Armored Guys"(that are lawful good constructs) is that the concept is in D&D as Maruts. If you want to make snake people- go right aheah, but don't use Yuan-ti.

Wouldn't everybody like to use Beholder as their Eye-Monster's name. You can make one in everything but name -so long as it isn't based on offical art- call it a 'Gazer ', and you're golden.

The Marut has 1 PPM figure, so GW sold me 'Maruts'. not "SigMarines" as they were falsely accused of being. They gained money for filling a gap, themselves(from me anyway).

Aside from that, I have a Question I haven't had answered elsewhere: Do the new Start Collecting kits come with complete kits of the stuffs they are comprised of, or are they like the Baneblade(which had only 1 barrel option from the bigger 'force' kit? I.E. the Start Collecting Malignants kit say Mortis Engine, but does it come with the Coven Throne bits aswell-just not advertised?

All the start collecting boxes so far have the entire sprue included.

Just bought the undead one- it has all the Mortarchs included, parts to make either the knights or hexwraiths... everything you need.

I'd imagine the Skaven one is a great deal if it (most likely) includes the parts to make the Bell and Lightning Cannon as well as the Furnace and Catapult parts.

The Zoom feature in the Age of Sigmar App works fantastically now! That was my biggest peeve with the old AoS app.
