Someone uploaded a clip, in which the uploader reviewed the contents of triumvirate box : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE_Siw80P1s

And I noticed that the rules for the triumvirate are far from complete. The assembly manual does list points cost and wargears, but is missing specific explanations on special rules and Force Organisation. I suppose that means I also need to buy Fall of Cadia too.

Yes, thats how it's always been when they put the "rules" in the box, you get the stats for the unit and the list of special rules but it doesn't tell you what the wargear does or what the special rules actually do.

Ugh. That "Hunt" rumor again.

Wasn't that debunked, with someone claiming they made the whole thing up?

Yeah, I'm taking that reddit post with more than a bit of salt. Also the eldar stuff is a bit wishy-washy. Vect is involved with the triumvirate? There's a massive convocation of eldar, of course he's involved, but the poster didn't want to commit to saying if he'd be a model or not. The seer with the gyrinx is likely be Iyanna? It sounds like this person is hedging their bets.

I'm surprised that you're surprised by this.

At least I expected the manual to give me some hints about force organisation.
And I was a fool.

with regards to the triumvirate boxset, can anyone provide a good picture of the rear of it ?

The kind of clock face image --- does it look like the image could part 1 of2/3/4 that would make a complete image if all of them were joined together ?

My camera isn't good enough for any decent pictures, but it does look like it could be a part of a larger image. Plus the whole set itself comes inside a sort of sleeve to protect the box inside. It certainly looks like it's meant to be some sort of collector's edition box.

That looks like WintersSEO paint scheme and basing.

Wait. All "cultures" of Eldar forming one cohesive force? That sounds suspiciously similar to the Elfs, I mean Aelfs, of the Old World during the End Times.

Yeah, I'm getting the vibe Magnus= Nagash as well. I have a very strong suspicion this will mirror the WHFB end times in many, many ways to come, especially (big/fancy) model releases.

I am getting a sinking feeling that abadon wadn't released yet because he was supposed to be wounded (celestine through the spine) in order to make him ascend into a prince of some sort and make a $150+ kit ala archaon. I hope I am wrong, as I prefer simple villains but it just seems to fit.

I bet he's going to go demon.

Yea, anything to make a huge kit. That's the trend these days. I don't mind large kits, but I prefer my characters to be smaller. We will see though.

Many echoes of AoS for me too. Abbaddon seems a dead cert for lord of war/daemon prince

That would be my guess as well. I don't think GW will be content to "just" sell a $30 monopose plastic single terminator model as the poster boy for chaos. He'll either be morphed into a big, unnecessary demon prince or riding atop some sort of magic flying mechamount or vehicle to justify the price.

Well there is that named Daemon Prince in the fiction, but if he got a model I don't think GW would want him to outshine Abaddon.

So yeah, Abaddon ascending seems like a good bet.

Either that or something Archaeon style. He gets a big ol' whatzit full of chaos iconography that she stands, sits, floats, poses on.

Drach'nyen somehow takes its true form, as Abaddon's massive unnecessary daemon mount?

Now with even MORE skulls

Or maybe it possesses him, or melds somehow.

Crap, I bet your right. *sigh*

Well, maybe he will at least lose that top knot

Nice. So the real Cawl died and it will now be Trazyn all along!

I can't tell if you're joking or if I missed something while skimming this thread. I thought Cawl ended the book heading towards the light after the Eldar pep talk...

I'm joking. Did you even glance at that paint scheme?

In post 2012 GW/40k, it's more likely that the top knot is fully unleashed and becomes a multipiece 6 inch flowing mane of chaotic warp-infused hair that gets its own detachment entry and rules in the Abaddon contingent.

I reckon super-saiyan Abaddon will be a top knot-ch character...

Screw it, embrace the hair! I hope it is magnificent!

These what you want?

He means the back of the box minus sleeve:



edit.

The back of this one:

Oh, my bad. It seemed glued in so I didn't think to wedge it out

Oh wow, that is definitely a clock

But what are the other 3 parts?
Eldar, Chaos,.......?

Space Marine? Tau? All the other Auxillary Xeno Races together?

 VeteranNoob wrote:

Would be a nice touch if for the Eldar Triumvirate the clock is one tick closer to midnight. Then with the inevitable chaos one, one more tick

yeah, the level of detail is amazing in, well, all of this.

That is a cool box. I hope all of them are that cool looking for the inevitable triumvirates. Can anyone make out who those are on the back?

This is...unassailably cool. Very excited to see the other Triumvirates. Chaos, Space Marines, and Xenos, I'm guessing?

Has this been posted before? I've never seen it before today at least
