Believe me, you're not alone.

WHFB died for this gak.

WFHB died because no one was buying it. It's coffin was already bought and paid for by the dwindling sales.

That's the spirit! Blame the customer for GW putting no fething effort in. If they even put in one iota of effort into what they've done with promoting AoS with fixing WHFB then it would still be here.

Whilst I realise 1. I am fighting a losing battle 2. I don't really know the history of fantasy, I've only ever read the Darkblade novels. I'm a 40k man and only started AOS late last year. I just feel (in my opinion) guns should be 40k not AOS.

Remembering that new 40k rules are due soon... I'm still wondering if they'll be compatible with AoS so GW players can play any of their armies against any others.

Secondly I'm now so glad they changed the name to Duardin(tm). Calling these dwarves would have Ungrim Ironfist turning in his grave.

Could we
A: Please not start that again, especially in the rumour thread.
B: Please not insult games that other people enjoy. If you don't have anything nice to say then at least stay on topic, pretty please.

The owner of our FLGS is at the GAMA show and posted these pics of the new models.

Hello everyone!

Feel free to discuss whether you like or dislike these models. If you want to discuss whether you like or dislike Age of Sigmar, please take that to a different thread in the AoS General Discussion forum. That is off topic in this thread and posting about it here violates Rule Number Two.

Thanks!

As a lazy person I adore being able to base the bottom with cotton and call it a day lol.

Haha yeep lol. Also this Kharadrin theme from the trailer is so sweet.

In fairness, though, that's not a bad idea mate.

This is a new board game coming from GW that is "very different than anything we've done"...coming later this year.

I actually really like the models, but honestly. GW is so trolling old Squat fans with this, lol. Also getting tired of reading "Khadoran", dammit.

Look Squat fans who remember 1995! We certainly could have done something insane, and made all this effort into a 40k army to bring back your favorite space dwarves, just like with Genestealer cults! Oh well, I guess you need to beg more alongside the Sisters fans....

I really wish there were some bare faces, though. In their own way, these guys are as much lacking in individuality as Stormcast are. Bare faces would have made these guys awesome, instead of just 'really cool'.

Nvm

Ugh, as much as I like new sets and boxed games. Please. Something else other than Stormcast vs Bloodbound.

So any idea when the Overlords are going up for order?

Well I had literally just started a Sylvaneth army. Sad to see them shelved so soon because SWEET FETH AIRSHIPS! I'm actually shocked at the size of those models. There's so much detail on the flying boats that a full base hardly seems necessary.

Or just have them allied to each other?

But...then I can't have as many glorious airships :c

I know that feel zero. I want to see their entire fleet range. From little cutters all the way to battleships.

Here I was hoping (still hoping) its more than just Khorne and Stormcast.

My mind has been reeling at the thought of what kind of alternate builds/ extra bits all these kits could possibly come with.

oh, the sweet possibilities...

Someone on TGA pointed out that that logo for shadowspire could suggest hex bases.

With no real info I'm calling hex based 3x3 arena/dungeons.

Played with single models or small units with x wing style activation, cards and unit customisation.

Yeah Stormcast vs Khorne Bloodbund again.........!!!!

Also I just cant help it, but that dude looks like PapaSmurf or the the old school Doom Guy.

Yeah the new Dwarfs aren't for me but it is nice to see some new minis.

I''m more interested in whats in the new Starter as it looks like it has all the troops but not any of the Characters. Could be used to upgrade a force on the cheap. Especially if its in the same price range as the Spire of Dawn.

That Stormcast isn't wearing a helmet!

That Stormcast has hair!!

That Stormcast can Blue Steel!!!

GW, I don't even know you any more.



PS: Does anyone else think he looks like Recoome?

Just... look at that hand and arm next to his head. Reminds me of an old-school recruitment poster.

There's some proportion trouble and foreshortening failure in that artwork for sure.

Uhhh... looks very much like what GW has been doing with AoS for the last year+. Khorne vs Sigmarines.
