I'm assuming (hoping) that's the Blood Bowl dwarves leaked are a sneak peak of the style/proportions that we'll see in the Duardin.

I must say, that is one of the better pieces of art produced thus far for Age of Sigmar. From a purely technical perspective, the dynamics of the scene are skillfully invoked through the forced perspective and the use of lines to focus on the center action.

And with the appearance of the gyrocopter in the back and the Duardin troops in the front, we're likely looking at a very thematic force showing up quite soon.

As much as I liked the archetypical Dwarf lore in Warhammer, I never liked the "kneeless" aesthetic (which I know some people really liked); though as we now know Games Workshop is able to make larger dwarf figures (the fyreslayers) the new Duardin should be pretty amazing.

I would expect new 'normal' Dwarves to resemble the 8th edition Dwarf release, as they are the same size as the Fyreslayers. The latter seem larger because of dynamic/spread posing but the only size creep present is in hats.

The Dwarves in that art look like Ironbreakers to me.

-waiting in anticipation for Beareded Dwarven Mecha-

Well, lets see how January plays out, then we might have a better idea.

@Osorios, I really like the artwork too. The doorway making a halo over the beastmen's head is well done and a interesting way at showing who's taking the spotlight. (And if it turns out they're defending the town they corrupted then it's excellent foreshadowing as that's usually the pose of a heroic defender rather than conqueror.)

@BaronVonSnakPak, those are indeed ironbreakers. They're shown as the main force of the Azyrheim Stonebreaker Battalion which is backed up by human artillery and gyrocopters.

They're also the main siege army that turn demonic hell fortresses into bad memories. So what are they doing at this city?

If it was a reconquest then the Azyrheim Legions of Reconquest would be the obvious choice to send as Stormcast spearhead the assault and Free Guilders give support and take hold of the garrisons.

It could be in relation to the future Duardin release and the Stonebreakers acting as a diplomacy element to their foreign kin or it could mean some cities are too lost to chaos and need to be destroyed..

Certainly going to be interesting to see how things unfold. I even wonder if we'll see another summer campaign but with Order attacking the cities we previously defended?

Guys I had a prophetic dream last night. There will be a release involving Morathi and then Daughters of Khaine. Something with her taking over the Cult...and she will get a new model or we will see a new Witch Elfish looking model on foot.

20 Kairic Acolytes for $50 was not what I expected.

$50 seems to be the target price for the larger infantry boxes (Ironjawz 'Ard Boyz, all the Bonesplitterz kits).

The $50 wasn't the surprising part. The 20 models, after the Sylvaneth Tree-Revenants, was.

I think they are still finding their sweet spot on models and cost. Not going to be sad about it though. That's a solid price for a GW 20 model infantry kit. Especially after normal discounts.

It'll be interesting to see what they price the Tzaangors at. Since the 40k ones are $40 for 10 we might see a similar price point since they won't want to eat the 40k sales but we might also see 20 for $50 since it wouldn't have the extra sprue.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also is the Disciples of Tzeentch softback? Because it's priced at what appears to be $25 US.

40K Tzaangors are $45 for ten, not $40.

I wonder if we'll get a new Gaunt Summoner warscroll. That's the model from Silver Tower, but his warscroll talks about the familiars, which are thus far only available on the massive minion sprues. There are nine Gaunt Summoners at any given time, so it would stand to reason that GW could potentially release nine separate sets of rules.

15 pounds for the disciples of tzeentch tome? Well I gotta get my tzeentch army ready and I am grabbing a gaunt summoner he? it? Looks so nice.

£15 pounds seems really cheap for a battle tome that has three different(even if there related) armies in it. With it having points for the units could GW be planning on periodically updating it in the same way as the generals handbook? A softback book with a cheaper price tag could be there attempt to sweeten the pill.

I imagine the Matched Play Profiles will be presented in a table like those in the General's Handbook, easily updated via a FAQ or in a new edition of the General's Handbook.

Is that acolyte using a giant scroll as the unit banner? If so that's awesome.

It's a War Scroll

My Plague Priests carry a Battle Tome...

On the stream it was hardback.

Good point. I assumed it was paperback at that price but it was hardback yeah.

For £15 it will be softcover. I guess the Book in the Video was only a dummy with a glued on cover.

Then I'm voting for a WD misprint on the price. The only other tome for that price is Bonesplitterz.

Are Bonesplitterz even that cheap? Even Bonesplitterz and Pestilens are $35 here in the US and it's got the Tzeentch listed at $25. No complaining. I think it's a fantastic price point. But it might also be for the french version which might be paperback.

Bonesplitterz is £15 from GW here in Blighty. The only AOS books that are cheaper are the Destruction and Death grand alliance books at £10. WD usually prints the prices for a particular regions webstore.

It has prices from all different regions in the photo, not just euros.

I probably should have worded it better but yeah thats what I meant

Warhammer Tv just posted a teaser for disciples of Tzeentch with another piece of Loc art, just in case anyone doubted a new model is coming.

Those dudes would make some great Tzeentch marauders. I really hope that Slannesh gets some love as my Warriors of Chaos could do with a bit of reinforcing.

Don't doubt that its coming but I don't think that's a LoC as it doesn't have any arms. Looks to me more like the bird that one of the previewed Arcanites is carrying?

For sure a possibility, but I bet the LOC* box will come with several options, and this may be one of them.

That would be correct. It is the weird Warpbird or whatever.
