Here's a random question: in Japanese GW stores, are the rulebooks in Japanese or English?

I'm gonna be on vacation in Tokyo when the Stormcast book comes out and I was wondering if I could just pick it up there and have it to flip through.

They are usually in English. Don't buy anything here though. It is very expensive.

Ugh, forgot about dat markup. We'll see if my impatience is stronger than my frugality.

Use the internet to order it from the USA webstore to your USA address?

I'm seeing Warmaster scale giant eagles. Either for high elves or to go with my BoFA stuff.

freaking site eating messages

I was more looking to have it to flip through. I'll be out of the country for a while, and while I can pick it up when I get home, I wanna do some list planning and general perusal.

If you want WM scale giant eagles take a look at Malifaux Arcanist Raptors. I'd say that scale fits a bit better and they're available **today**!!
Real good models, too

So the leader still looks ridiculous and fugly but the regular guys look quite smart, dynamic poses, not too much like a giant battered battery hen.

Just so we're clear, it looks like the "leader" is actually a separate blister/box.

I really like that green/teal coloration.

We always knew this didn't we? He's the Knight Aquilar.

As for the unit, looking at the picture, there are three poses for the mounts and riders, with hand options for riders. So boxes of three?

The picture in the new White Dwarf painting article has the lower torsos built onto the mount.

I didn't see any sprue pics though.

Ah, bummer. Thanks for the info though

Tin cans sitting on chickens hmmmm.

Just got home and reread the article. The Lord Aquilor is the subject of the painting, so it's still possible that the regular dudes are separate, like the Varanguard.

that color scheme is gorgeous
i hope we see more of it, as it really sells the model...
it certainly got my attention!!!

cheers

I actually feel the mount's paint job is overdone, there is so much highlighting and depth of color added that it doesn't look organic anymore. It reminds me of a woman with so much makeup her face looks more like a mask than skin. It's hard for me to tell if like or dislike the color scheme past that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Dracoth knights had a Lord Celestant build in their kit.

Yeah, except this mount clearly has a different pose than any of the unit's mounts...

If I had bought Warmaster stuff instead of always putting it off to a later date that'd be a great idea. I only have a couple of chars from an ebay auction, sadly, and it's close to impossible to get more, it seems. I bet you get enough birdies (and in plastic they're light enough) to kitbash a couple of Skycutter chariots in Warmaster scale, if that's your thing.

Umm...is a chariot-centric HElves list legal in Warmaster? I have three heroes on horses...I'm getting itchy fingers

Edit: Malifaux Raptors? When did *those* come out? And I bought Austringers for their birdies like a fool.

I dunno.

His Chocobo has a really different pose to the others we've seen in the pics so far.

Not exactly conclusive, but certainly suggestive.

Kind of looks like iridescent feathers though, which is presumably what they were after

Well I really hope they're separate, that would probably make me buy the kit

even if they're separate, there won't be sculpted detail underneath so you'll end up doing pretty much the same amount of work anyway. Why would it make a difference?

Do you see that steed repeated anywhere in the images we've seen?

Adding a different rider isnt the same amount of work as cutting and moderately sculpting a back for repairs. Even if you plan on using it alone, its much easier to add detail to it than remove.

In plastic, really? Get a dremel, you'll love it

That leaked 40k pic shows that the new warhammer Quest game will be out in March. No sign of Duardin.
