Oh gak.

Well I guess I'm avoiding that one then...

I didn't want the pool either, so I'm still good.

Speaking of terrain, anyone else brough up the new stuff shown in this month’s WD?

Half a dozen or so pages ago we got a list of four new terrain kits a Chinese factory is apparently making for GW, but that's it.

If there's new stuff, don't hold back.

Just wanted to say that it is not all doom and gloom for mortal Slaanesh armies. A slaves to Darkness army with mark of Slaanesh would get the euphoric killers ability and get to take advantage of all the command traits, abilities and artefacts of each of the different hosts.
So as it stands a chaos lord who’s your general can get a command trait which lets them reroll hits Each hit becomes two hits on a six and three hits against units with 20 or more models.
The reaper blade does 1 attack for 2d6 damage once a battle. Now if you are fighting a big group of skaven and roll a six, it becomes 3 hits doing 2d6 each. That’s a potential damage of 36 from just one attack! Obviously the probability of this happening is not the highest, but it is a nice buff to slaves to Darkness armies.
Beasts of chaos with the mark of Slaanesh would also gain these abilities.
I’m sure there is more fun stuff someone could do using these new abilities

New terrain piccies from this month’s WD.

Sorry about the crap photo quality.

And by the number of mentions, seems Stormvault is out very, very soon.

Suggestion from a battle report that (because reasons) Sigmar has Stormvaults all over the place. Could be filled with treasure, could be filled with horror.

Well that all looks spiffy

Looks even better when the photos are decent

Seems we’re looking at two kits. Shattered Temple and Timeworn Ruins.

I wonder if the liberators in the 1st pic, the ones with skulls crowning the halo, are new or just conversions. I'd love if they updated the Lib kit to add more options.

Thanks for the pictures!

So GW wants my money, huh? OK. I'll take a temple, thank you. Or whatever kit has the statues.

Ziggurats are pretty cool to have, too. I've been wondering about the Warcry scenery we saw in the reveal video way back when, and it seemed like it didn't offer much volume or cover much of the board. These things should do that quite nicely.

Certainly a welcome refresh of the classic ‘quick, hide behind the hill’.

Those are now the only Gryph-Hound models I don't own...

That has to be corrected. The Flock needs its own scenery!

Looks fairly, I want to say modular, but I’m not sure that’s the right word.

Gryph Hound statues are shown in multiple positions. So the Temple bits and bobs are at least stackable? Again, struggling for the right term this time. But hopefully you get what I’m driving at.

Possibly the items judgedoug mentioned HERE.

Sounds likely

I like those terrain pieces.

New terrain looks like more generic AoS ruins, which is exactly what I want to see. Looking forward to getting more detail.

Images in spoilers:


Arch-Revenant is the new Sylvaneth unit.

That Squiqboss is magnificent!

Love both models and the units involved. Shame the wings don't belong to vespid though.
If only all Sylvanneth had helmet options

Some sort of add on sprue of new heads with helmets and wings would be awesome for the Sylvaneth period.

I'd love a whole unit of airborne tree spirits!

Currently trying to find out if anyone sells Wild rider helmets online XD

Has anyone done the math? Champions excluded, how great of a deal is this?



I mean, these look great

At RRP , excluding characters , that’s £140 ish of miniatures , I think the boos would be £18, the Sylvaneth character £15 so it’s a fantastic deal IMO. Also all the goblin units are Gloomspite battleline and revenants Sylvaneth battleline. Id day it’s the best , if you like the factions, AOS box they’ve done as both sides are a good basis for starting.

Actually, would it make sense that Wanderers would be rolled into new Sylvaneth book?

I'm getting 2. I want a squig and squig hopper army and have sylvaneth and more of these units is never bad. It's around 230 without the hero's. So the discount is definitely there. It's about 30% before the characters if its 160 for the box.

I don't understand something. Carrion Empire had 1 hero and 3 boxes per faction.
This one has 1 hero and 3 boxes per the sylvaneth half but 1 hero and two boxes for the goblins.

I would say I expect it to be cheaper than carrion empire but I doubt it. They'll make you pay a premium for the goblin half for being new models.

Sylvaneth hate wanderers, they think they are traitors and cowards, so I doubt it. But GW could make a retcon and change the background, of course.

£137.50 without the heroes by my reckoning. So if its at the Carrion Empire(£95) or even Shadow spear(£105) price point there's a good saving to be had.

Very nice!

I’m definitely in for the Gloomspite part of the box, anyone want to split one with me and take the tree stuff?

Those new models are sweet, and the box set is a nice selection of units. I bet this one will be very popular as well.

Also where is that music from?

Ded boingy!

Why retcon it when the timeline has moved forward? I could easily see that some of these Wanderers could have taken oath of penance to remedy their ancestors mistakes or in some other places Wanderers did fought beside Sylvaneth without any complain.

Of course, I could see that some units could not be taken in mixed armies.

Love that Arch Revenant. Reminds me of Raziel from LoK.
