Watched a few unboxing videos on youtube, but it doesn't look like any of the cards, even the Universal ones, tease the upcoming warband. :/

The manual probably gives a breakdown of whats coming though, so hopefully, we'll know by next week (at the very least, confirmation of what that bone symbol warband is)

Yeah. I was pretty bummed by this too (because I’m impatient). I think the bone symbol is 90% Bonesplittaz, but I really want it to be Spider Grotz.

This. I love me some savage orks, but forest goblins were my first fantasy kit, so they'll always have a special place in my heart. Given that "Air-grots" are most likely are next greenskin faction (they keep popping up in the lore and white dwarfs), I feel like Underworlds is our best bet for new spider riders. I feel like we'll get really weird spider hybrids though (which, to be fair, are present in the current kit and Arachnork), but I'd prefer my spider grotz to be four-limbed and only two eyes.

Maybe we'll get some Hybrids and some normal Goblins? Maybe just some separate Spiders and grots? Anyway I would personally be happy. I just think the Forest Goblins/Spider Goblins are super cool and a lot more interesting than another orc faction.

Ya all know Shieldwolf makes really nice plastic 2000 GW style forest goblins, yea?

Really don't know why everyone who struggles to follow a conversation has to point it out.

Do you realize you are posting in the Underworlds thread? A game that is utterly dependent upon the cards that go with the models to both give the flavour and rules for the warband? So pointing out a 3rd party sells appropriate models means absolutely nothing until GW release the warband and introduce the cards.

Okay, for those still struggling, I was trying to be helpful to the person who said forest goblins were their first love and were thinking about how new models for them might come about. I'm sorry some people can't follow a tangent even just two posts away without a direct quote, that was my bad, I will take that into account next time, but also maybe consider that some information might be relevant for someone other than you and not immediately jump down my throat.

Starblood Stalkers revealed!


New series of articles too, "Visions of Glory".

Oh yeah, and maybe this is relevant to people. I dunno...

Kixi-Taka is also known as the Diviner, and they have brought us an unexpected gift – a glimpse into the future at the warband that will follow the Starblood Stalkers. Thanks, Kixi-Taka!

That looks an awful lot like the trenchcoat zombie from other spoilers.

That is one Vampire looking sword and pose.

Definitely a Vampire

Skinks look nice, but the Saurus just doesn't do it for me. Mostly due to the feet, they look too compacted instead of splayed like a therapod (and the sculptor seems to have mistaken the dew claw for the iconic raptor claw and positioned it forward for some reason).

Not bad, overall, but definitely more excited for vampires now

I have...mixed feelings about the warband. Always loved skinks and this is a cool look at them. And the Saurus is good too. But they're just...different the rest of the range?

Obviously the lizardmen/seraphon range has a lot of old models that need to be updated. A majority of the core units. So it's not surprising that they don't sync up entirely with the current models.

Like look at the saurus for example. No other lizardman has feet like his. Some have the dewclaw on the opposite side, but he has one on the back of his foot and then the protruding ones on the inside part of his feet. Most have the protruding claw on the opposite side of the foot, like the scar-veteran and the sunblood (both of whom are the "newest" saurus models we got, until now.)

Moving on to the skink, they just looked weird and I couldn't put my finger on it. Until I noticed the ear holes. I'm not going to penalize the older models for this, since new models get more features. But why didn't they give ANY of the new skink earholes? Bastilodon, Teradactyl (potentially), etc, all don't have that feature. The plastic skinkpriest has his covered, so he get's a pass.

It's a shame that the new kits aren't in line with the underworld team. The skink warriors and chameleon skink models may get replaced, but the "newer" kits won't. I guess you could green stuff on ear holes, but still :/

VUN VAMPIRE! Ah ah ah!

I love the armour and weapons of the new lizardmen, but I don’t think the models as a whole work for me as much as I hoped/expected. I still love the chameleon skink though.

Could be a thing:



Thinking Vampire, Elf, or Vampire Elf

It's a Mannfred styled Vampire. Spiky collar!

I really like the inspire condition, and cards so far revealed for the Seraphon warband. Lots of good synergy with hold objective cards, like Temporal Victory. But, there are a lot of push cards (like distraction, Nightmare in the shadows, and Restless Prize), which can make this a hard condition to achieve.

I'm surprised it's a 6 model wardband, and I'm looking forward to seeing their other fighter cards. I imagine the Sinks will be 2 wounds each, and the Saurus will be 4 or 5 wounds.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Soulblight warband. And I'm really looking forward to the Ossiarch Bonereaper band (as I'm starting that army). I just wish COVID wasn't a thing, so I could be playing Underworlds still. I miss my monthly tournaments.

Look better than the Chaos warrior band.

Cool Lizardmen warband

VERY sad if its a male Mannfred style Vamp

The new Lizardman team looks pretty snazzy, but the little Chameleon dude seems really out of place, even his base is a different style to the others.

I like the new warband, and I hadn't noticed the dew claw thing until it was pointed out. I'd rather not have seen that as it makes no sense whatsoever in relation to theropod claws.

Yep. Can’t Unsee regarding the dew claw. Still gonna buy it though because aside from that I think they’re great and my wife loves them.

What about the skink earholes? I can't unsee them either

Seems like everyone who makes lizardmen does a good job except gw

I'm just imagining the Saurus just slashing its own ligaments each time it runs or climbs up something.

I mean its not as if there are many bipedal space lizard for us to go by in the real world as a reference point.

Kinda tempted by these. Getting into my painting recently, and Underworlds warbands do look to be decent palette cleansers to break up larger projects.

Lizards will probably be the only Warband I get other than the Starter Set this season. I would have preferred more Saurus, but I've never played a 6 figure warband, so it'll be fun.

As far as Vampire/Elf for the next warband, I'm leaning pretty far to the vampire camp, but I'd love to be surprised and get Malerion's Elves
