I agree AoS is lacking in the terrain department. I think the Killzone format could fix that though. Half a dozen box sets, each with its own theme. One for each Realm perhaps? Some interesting hills/ caver enterance, more Forrests, and a couple smaller garrison pieces are just some things I would like to see.
War fields. That’s what I am betting the Warcry terrain kits will be called.

The problem with AoS scenery is most kits are army specific obstacles. So unlike 40k kits you cant combine them and can only play AROUND them, not ON, because no bridges, stairs, roads. etc. LotR goblintown and laketown were better in those aspects.

I love army specific terrain. That's why I bought a 3d printer. The dwarves and elves versions of terrain from printable scenery are freaking awesome quality. It is crazy how much I've made on just one roll of 15 dollars. When ever they drop the new light elves I hope it comes with terrain.

I'm really hoping for this too, but AoS doesn't have enough terrain to pull it off. We do know that they have something more substantial in the Azyrite Ruins set, and Dreadhold can be broken up in various ways to produce new sets, so who knows? I'm really pinning my future with AoS on Warcry, so fingers crossed!

You do realize that the only thing you can purchase currently for the Chaos Dreadhold are the rules?

EDIT: Blades of Khorne goes on pre-order next week:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/10/coming-soon-new-khorne-models/

Grab some skulls, hide your wizards and stock up on Blood For The Blood God – Khorne is coming back. Next week sees a gory tidal wave of Khornate new releases for both Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000, including stunning new models, new rules and more…

Bloodmaster
The Bloodmaster is an invaluable addition to any collection of Khorne Daemons, making already-deadly Bloodletters even more murderous with nifty (and ultra-violent) aura abilities! The return of Khorne to the Mortal Realms was the ideal opportunity to bring this dark champion to life in plastic.

Skull Altar
As every Khorne fan knows, taking skulls is only part of worshipping the Blood God. The Skull Altar is a new terrain piece that allows you to get the most out of your Khorne Priests, a brazen dais from which they roar grisly invectives. In-game, it’ll allow them to re-roll their Prayer and Judgement rolls, as well as disrupting the abilities of nearby Wizards.

Previously seen
Skulltaker, Karanak, Flesh hounds, Judgements of Khorne (Endless Spells)

Actually the UK store still has the wall segment but its on last-chance listings.

Skull Altar is surprisingly subdued for GW, in a good way. It doesn't suffer from the 'busy' look that many of their models tend towards. Assuming it is free with allegiance I remain irked about that but the piece itself, and its use as a source for prayer re-rolls, is great. Will really help towards not needing gore pilgrims as a crutch.

Bloodmaster I like as well. That armor is cool and really fits the bloodletter aesthetic. Skulltaker looks cool but... Off, like misproportioned somehow. I think it is just the angle they took the picture though.

And what use is a single wall section if you don't have anything else?

Believe me, I'm aware (I was hoping to get another Overlord Bastion when they disappeared without warning). But I presume they still have the CAD files and/or the moulds and can bring it back easily enough. As a kit though, it's AoS' most modular kit and can do a lot more than the triangle towers it was sold as:

Nice little release.

Skull altar floors like a good start for a Khorne drop pod .

That's probably why they still have them

Glad they finally replaced the resin Herald.

Do Khorne Daemons have any resin left at all now? Alongside Nurgle Daemons, they may be one of the most complete ranges for an older faction. Makes the idea of collecting them much more appealing!

I like everything, but man. The artwork of the previous Khorne thome was much better.

So, I’m not gonna lie, that preview actually makes me think they’re gonna surprise unveil Angron this week at GAMA. Hear me out; the article focuses on Khorne in AoS, but at the end it talks about using them in your 40k army, throws them alongside World Eaters in artwork, then tells us they’ll be previewing Khorne all next week; Khorne in general, not “Blades of Khorne”. We’ve heard from multiple sources (reputable ones) that Angron is ready to go; when best than for a big-deal trade show at the same time as a big Khorne release?

I’d rather get Fulgrim first, but I’ll take Angron happily.

I agree, I'd prefer Fulgrim. However, I will be a bit sad if they release another daemon primarch when we only have Roboute while Chaos already has 2 and then get a third, along with baby Horus.

Angron was supposed to go all Bloodthirster-ed out, right? I hope so. Wouldn't mind if he does, not a fan of the one- legged pose the current one is in. My Skulltaker has been demoted to regular Bloodthirster on a few occasions when the points need trimming.

That said I'll get both of those new Khorne daemons. Khorne's always had my favorite daemons.

i'd say it would be unlikely to have another major character reveal so soon, especislly another chaos one, before they've sold enough Abadons

I reckon its possible though. After all, Abbadon was teased a couple of months before he was fully revealed, and isn't released yet.

I really hate the look of the skulls on the base of the terrain. They're so flat looking. Its the same problem the Carnal Throne had, though that one was worse, since the skulls on the throne had faces on the front and the back somehow. It just looks bad, in my humble opinion. The same with the ones on the chain. This is the same reason I don't buy the scenic bases, because they just look off.

I also feel it would be unlikely to have a Primarch revealed at GAMA, especially when Adepticon is just over two weeks away.

Very impressive use of the kit for sure. I got a Helfort still sitting in it's box to build. I don't see them ever making them again. Once GW makes the larger kits vanish they are goners.

Daemons as a whole are one of the most complete lines in the entire range (in terms of models produced. I'd argue that each god still needs a bit more diversity, and especially in 40k, combat roles).

A few things are direct only because reasons, but at this point (including these new models) the resin models for daemons are:

1- Keeper of Seekers (obviously)
2- The Masque
3- The Bluescribes
4- Khorne Herald on Bloodcrusher
5- Furies, the sad forgotten remnants of Chaos Undivided.
and
6- Slaanesh Herald (though it can be made from a chariot kit, though it doesn't look all that striking without extra bits from somewhere else, or some basing work
7- technically, the Tzeentch Herald on disc (though that can easily be done by cutting up the chariot kit into an exalted flamer, two screams and a herald (on or off disc)


a new prince kit with god specific bits would be nice as well.

Its funny, my reaction to the WarCom post title was, 'Boring, yet more Blood Blooders,' but I'm perfectly happy filling the holes in the daemon range.

I'm curious about that 'what the future holds for Khorne' combined with that last piece of art. Sure it could just be for the Battletome, but...
bersekers?

I would be all over a new DP kit. The current one still looks good but is really showing its age in how rough the details are. Would be doubly happy if it came with a new warscroll that made him a rightful badass instead of the piddly 160 point hero he currently is.

Agreed. The demon prince right now has no place in the game. He's very under par. Hell even most of the mortal heroes are under par, you go dual or trifecta of blood thiirsters or not at all, which is a shame.

I actually LIKE the Daemon Prince. Appearance wise, it’s very versatile. I have on that is “basic” without conversions. A second has both hands holding Minotaur axes w/a Bloodcrusher head. All fits on easily w/no greenstuffing and minimum cutting. A third has been converted to Be’Lakor (more work, but not bad at all), and a 4th (and 5th) are a two prince combo that became a Keeper of Secrets.

You forgot poor Epidemius.

Nice Herald. I'm not sure about the Khorne throne, though. Something about the bunny ears looks off, even if Khorne is all about bunny ears. And as has been mentioned, those flat skulls...

I for one find the logic of Skulltaker being the most warhammer miniature undoubtable. In fact the highest SPMI alone could win him that prize.

I would expect the "most warhammer" miniature to be wielding a warhammer.
