Loving the Fanatic having a drink while on the job.

Pretty sure that’s how they become fanatics in the first place; the brew gives them the strength to swing the ball about but also drives them (temporarily? How would you tell?) insane.

The Squig-Herder looks like it's based off concept art from Warhammer Online.

That's a Very Good Thing!

So... comparing the squigs with one of the unresolved images from the rumour engine it does not look like the teeth belong to the squigs... Interesting...

We do know the Troggoth warband also has at least one (bat)squig - there may be more?

It’s great, by the way, that they’ll make the universal cards in the new Steelheart and Garrek boxes available separately as well. That these sets will have their own, “new” cards also explains the higher number of cards for Nightvault as compared to Shadespire: we do in fact get 10 warbands, it’s just that two are repeats from the first season.

Praise Tzeench!

Yup, and it saves me a job since "make a Squig handler; see WHO concept art" is the very first note in my Night Goblin project file

They're all fantastic, but the Fanatic is a bit OTT for my purposes, though it might be salvageable with a smaller ball from the old kit. A few other wee tweaks to make them more WHF and less AoS and these'll do nicely for Mordheim.

I love the Tzeentch team. Gobbos are sweet too. I’ll be picking both up.

Man, GW really hit it out of the park with these two warbands. They look fantastic and have tons of character (and dat Magister....), I'll definitely be getting both!

Just noticed the feet sticking out from under the Ball on the Fanatic model. Looks destructive. Who's betting he will use the Scatter mechanic?

Love the disparity of the various Tzeentch models. Very fitting.

Absolutely adore the Goblins so much character (like the squished Gobbo underneath the ball) My new favourite warband.

Two great warbands. Glad I'm getting into Underworlds this season.

We need a big box of squigs please!

This, all of this. I would be happy with Moon Clan Grotz never getting a proper Battletome.. as long as I can get a new kit to make Squigs, Squig Herders and Squig Hoppers, especially if the squigs are going to look like those two, could maybe do with bigger eyes but i'll take it!

No bet. Fanatics have been random since they were invented.

Also, I really like the scatter mechanic in Nightvault; random but still aimable if yer cunnin’ enuff.

Googly eyes are your friend here

Looking forward to getting my hands on the Tzeentch warband

No desire to play this game, but the teams they keep putting out are fantastic. The sorcerer in the Tzeentch one was really cool, and the Gobbos are great. I'd pick them up for Warhammer Quest.

Neat, but not really my style. Both are on the lower end of interest from me.

Love the Tzeentch guys, but now really cant wait for the Darkoaths!

I am completely sold on Underworlds... both these bands will be mine! So will all the rest, save perhaps Darkoath.

Ah well, I was going to wait until the Troggoth warband got previewed before buying into Underworlds, but after seeing the Moonclan warband I went ahead and got the Nightvault set for $40 on eBay. Good thing I didn't wait until tomorrow to use my eBay bucks, I think I got the last one.

Do the Cursebreakers have alternate heads on the sprues? I'd like to build Stormsire with a helmet if possible.

I'd just like to see one of my painted warbands fair better in play- they've all lost every time they've taken to the field!

It certainly has nothing to do with my absolute lack of deck planning, no siree, absolutely not... I ought to get my Magic- crazed son to build me a deck.

I'm curious to see how the magic gambits work out. I wonder if there's magic based upgrades as well. Would love to zap those stupid Vanguard from a distance to repay the love they always send my way.

Hope Darkoath aren't too far off. Really want to see what they're going to look like modeled!

No head options I’m afraid, all Underworlds models so far had just one way to build them. The Cursebreakers’ heads are separate, though, so if yu can find a helmet somewhere it should be easy enough to replace.

Way, way back in the day, when I was first gifted a copy of the original Warhammer Quest from christmas - no lie - it was the picture of of Gobbler (and cave squigs), such a bizarre conceot that won me over to the idea of perhaps looking to expand the game. And then I discovered the additional hero pack, treasure cards, and oh! This Necromunda sounds interesting... thereby setting me on the initial GW path,

The bounding squig evokes that exact same feeling, 23 years later. And the sculpted base it has is one of the best yet.

There are also magic upgrades, yes.

The Tzeentch stuff is underwhelming, IMO. I had high hopes going by the box art, but the models are meh. Not bad, bit meh. Nothing you couldn't do with a bit of kitbashing, basically.

The gobbos are fantastic and I *love* the fact that the fanatic is chugging some brew. The blurred pic gave me pause in a "wait, is he swigging from Asterix's magic potion canteen" way...and he is! And the shaman has caged Link's annoying friend N'avi it seems And the herder and squigs make up for the archers and netters being 95% the same as the Skull Pass style plastics. Having them with the giant toothy heads of the first night gobbo kit would be even better, but I know that I'm a minority on gobbos with heads as big as their torsi.

I hope AoS3 gives us a WHO inspired witch hunter band now.

Anyone have a pic of the Nightvault carry case?

Oh, that's pretty decent.

Oh wow, that is great! I've been looking for a small case for this game

Am I just missing the release date in that pic / is the release date for it known?

According to the page (I got Oct WD today if its not clear) its available now... so this weekend?

Everything apart from the case and the Echoes of Glory card pack seem to have gone up for pre-order, so guessing some stuff either slipped, or its getting spread out a little more.
