Really hope there will be a Golem, Airships will look cool but I need a Cog-mech immediately.

They could surprise us with a fusion of those two. A golem made of airship parts.

(That'd be a cool kitbash as well, though finding a fitting warscroll would be difficult. )

Sure hope so. Ooohhh actually I would love for the Golem to be a walking cannon.

As others have said though, it would be fun to see at least some artwork of a sky battle between the Duradin and Grot Pirates.

Ive never played 40k but the air assault looks like it plays a large roll in the game. I always thought it would be cool if Fantasy had more of an air presence. More dragons or thins modeled to look like they are flying like the Gyrocoptor or the High Aelves eagle chariot.

Not sure if it is indicative of current Finecast quality but just assembled Slambo and he was much denser and free of defects. Very happy with him.

Okay, just saw this on reddit and I only trust Lady Atia so not sure how high on the legit meter it is but if true I'm turning one of those balloon Duardin into a bad@$$ Tingle from LoZ.

There's going to be a dwarven zeppelin, some new gunner dwarves, a character, and a unit of dwarves that are suspended by individual hot air balloons. They look pretty cool but my guy wouldn't let me take pics. I'm excited for everyone to see.

Cool! How big is he? If he's not super-sized I was thinking of making him a Bret paladin.

He's Stormcast-sized on a 40mm base.

Pretty sure he's resin rather than finecast.

And he's much bigger than a stormcast - he's practically spilling over his 40mm base.

Ah, good to know.

(If I fit three heads on him I can make a great Monty shout-out.)

I didn't realize he was *that* big. Huh.

Could've bought him yesterday too, if I hadn't been distracted by 60% off Fyreslayers.

Hope they still have some this weekend at the local shop!

Isn't finecast just what GW prime calls their in house resin?

Wish my shop did 60% off any models!

There are not enough spikes and skulls to accomplish this.

But to be serious, They don't look half bad. I'll probably get a kit, split the birds for the wife and the Marines for the kid.

But that's not a heavy bolter.

THIS are heavy bolters:



For once this guys use more realistic crossbows. The longstrike could still use another support pole, but meh, I'll take 'em.

Still, yes, I would prefer two kits: the aetherwings and the Raptors, more because you can play the Raptors on their own and the aetherwings have a special rule if you play them alongside a Raptor unit, like the gryph-hound that accompanies the Lord-Castellant. And the gryph-hounds got their own kit.

Bleh, I wouldn't like to see yearly reboxes, tbh.

I think its more that the Aetherwings are unlikely to see much play outside of being used with Raptors, whereas for the player just using the Raptors the Aetherwings don't add much to the kit's cost anyway.

That's one thing I really like about the Stormcast, they really stick to a medieval aesthetic even though the amount of Duardin and human engineers meant they could've gone gunpowder heavy. Instead they stay firmly as knights relying on skill, faith and some magic to win.

Though I suppose a army firing musket volleys of bullets made out of pieces of the Old World to tear through the chaos hordes would've been satisfying.

Haha, true to a point. I was thinking of emulating fan redesigns like this one:

Also, the upcoming novel that has Stormcast females is inspiring me to make a iron knuckle from Zelda as well. (which were basically the first case of "there were people under there?! I thought they were golems!")

Maybe he was refering more to FW type resin. But yeah finecast is one type of resin with production method that varies from say FW's. So quality of resin different and the different casting style seems to result in more air bubbles(but maybe having benefit of faster production?).

Got my Slambo in last night. It's actually a really good cast.

Was there ever a discussion on the changes to the Age of Sigmar app and the paid sub option??

Did I miss that thread?

I was wondering why no one was talking about that.

For those who don't know, the AoS app is getting a huge overhaul and is going to look a lot better and have more functionality. It's also going to include a subscription-based army builder ($0.99/month) that gives you access to all the points, battleplans, times of war etc etc without buying any of the digital books or the General's Handbook (doesn't seem like you'll get the rules text for the abilities and spells from the battletomes though, guess they still have to sell us at least one book).

It was supposed to launch this week but hasn't yet.

Maybe that's why mine has been a poop show of poor functionality the last 3 weeks. It went from a solid app to having constant issues.

I haven't had any problems and they haven't launched the new app yet, sounds like it might a problem on your end?

I've had varying levels of issues since the app launched, but by far my biggest problem is that the warscrolls aren't kept consistently up-to-date. Hopefully this app relaunch will help.

It's not. It's been taken off, reloaded, taken off, reloaded. Data deleted and redownloaded. Just some times it pretends everything is locked and then opens them up while scrolling. Issues really started with the release of the disciples of Tzeentch actually.

Huh, that's weird. Mine works fine. :/

Excellent, the least helpful response anybody experiencing issues can recieve is out of the way.

Wait:

-Have you tried turning it off and restarting?

-Solve it yourself.

-We don't care. (may be used with 2 for extra douchbaggery and [MOD EDIT - Language! - Alpharius])

Now they are ought of the way. But seriously, GW needs a better tech support if they are going to update.

Sorry, just putting that out there that some are working okay.

Nah, you're cool, mine works too, I almost posted the same but then realised.

Actually, I've seen that on mine, too. For example, I was recently browsing the Slaves to Darkness, and it had the Chaos Chariot locked for some weird reason. Then I scrolled down, and when I scrolled back up it was UNlocked.
