$50 US for 20 acolytes is a nice surprise. Assumed it would be 10-15

Got myself the book, dice, and cards. I'm a happy camper.

Aviarch... well, I guess we've found tzeentch's bloodsecrator equivalent in terms of cringeness.

I dunno, half the Bloodbound releases have worse names than 'Aviarch' IMO. I don't really think its a bad name.

Wow the Tome is sold out on the UK store already, I was expecting the dice to go before I got home but not the Battletome. Guess I'll have to make do with the app for a bit

The Ogroid Thaumaturge is $41 USD..... What in the Holy Hell....
Also book and dice already sold out =/ so lame

At least that book says "Temporarily out of stock". I was going to get the 40k genestealer cults codex but that one says "no longer available".

GW - doing what it can to discourage people from buying their models.

Did you want to buy the collector's edition?

No chance. I don't buy into spending extras on Ltd Eds, especially when GW make some out of date in a year or 2. Just the normal one. Pointless getting the models without any rules;

PS apologies for being off topic. Thread derailment unintended.

Huh, found it... somehow it's OoP in the british store but not in the australian one. the american, or the spanish.



Possibly a gaffe from the web-page??

Two sprues, not one like the Gaunt Summoner.

How is a pre-order sold out? I assume I'm misunderstanding how that works?

Not planning to replace my changeling anytime soon, but it is nice to have it confirmed that the Changling has a future in AoS. Similarly I HOPE we see a new Scribes.

Speaking of the Bloodsecrator; I hope we get (have I missed it?) a similar hero, anything that buffs Tzeentch keyword, with or without a banner.

Just the hardback one. Seems hardbacks are now 'splash' releases, with soft back after that.

Well it takes more than a week to produce an item. In the case of books GW will have placed an order with the printer several months ago for the first production run.

Still available on the Canadian site. Not sure if you can order it from there. The french version is No Longer Available though. That said, I am wondering it's going to be obsolete soon or they will come back in soft cover and not made in hard cover no more?

He's almost MORE beautiful than the LOC.

We don't know if it's a surge in popularity, or only them decreasing the number of these limited items made, since they had problem sellling them previously.

Hate to be a bearer of bads news, but I'm pretty sure these blue horrors are the pink horrors kit, only painted blue.

Love Kairos, the skull head, and the changeling. THe Tzaangors on disc are not bad, but I think acolytes on disc would have made more sense.

No, those are new Blue Horrors, in a new kit that comes with Brimstone Horrors as well. Sorry to be the bearer of actual news

No. From the Warhammer Community article:

Later in the month, the Realm of Chaos opens fully and Daemons join the battle. A set of Blue and Brimstone Horrors, that can either be used in your force from the get go, or be spawned when a Pink Horror dies.

Glad to be wrong. These ones looks very much like the current pink horrors (even size wise)

these ones look a bit different though. Might only be me going crazy.

Well they aren't. You can easily compare with pics of the actual pink horrors. They are new models.

Also I do like to add if you were on the fence about AOS lore I would say the city of secrets might tip you over. Also if you like it already and you are looking for novel looking at how mortals and the various races live in the cities the novel is for you and how they view stormcast and the various other aspects of the realm and there are some real life issues in the novel like discrimination/racism etc.

I like the warhammer world BUT with more novels like the city of secrets I feel it will surpass whfb.

Also GW can we have an AOS RPG already? I mean after reading the book we need one like seriously.

I stand corrected. Their tongues are obvioulsy different from the pink horrors

Must say that GW really knock it out of the park with this release. The only negative is that the horrors don't use the old design, which was much much better imo, but that was to be expected.

I thought some of them looked like ST blue horrors...but they look NOTHING like pink horrors! As far as horrors go, they've done a good job distinguishing the appearance of the blues from the pinks (disregarding color entirely).

Might read it. What really turned be off AOS was the dismal, vague fluff. THis book sound interesting, and might convince me to start an army.

yeah, that was unexpected. They're pretty much 10$ cheaper than the khorne blood reavers (20 models) and 10$ cheaper than the fyreslayer box (which only comes with 10 horrible models) It seems that GW is finally serious about making AOS a popular game.

That first shot of Fatewaver coming out of the smoke



Have we had any inkling of price yet?
I'm assuming somewhere around £80, as that's what skarbrand and magnus cost...?

the french book is actually 10$ cheaper than the english one. That's incredibly weird.

In that "battle" picture, they either just bunged in a couple of ST Blue Horrors, or they've incorporated CAD elements from those as well as the Burning Chariot ones in this new kit.

This Blue Horror / Brimstone Horror kit and the Changling are more exciting to me than the LoC kit (as beautiful as it is!).

Hmm... well that's interesting.

The Kairic Acolytes are AUD$14 cheaper than their Khornate equivalent (the AUD$98 Bloodreavers). That is surprising.

Feth I hope not. Bloodthirster cost is what it should be.
