That was a ...different.....film

is the terrain scratch built or new range do we think?

I thought it was scratch built at first but seeing them show off two whole ranks of what appears to be identical wall segments makes me think it might be a terrain set. But its really hard to tell; GW makes a lot of terrain in-house and this could just be in house terrain themed around the new faction. It would be neat to see and it might speak of future terrain features GW might release. Faction Terrain has done well in general and if its overseas produced they could start going down the lines of faction and grand alliance walls.

The big monster is awesome to the max. Except for the Ossiarch dude dangling between his legs...though in this case it looks a bit like PICKLE RICK to THE MAXXX!!1!one Which is at least kind of funny.

I'm amazed - GW timed Gotrek's release on the same day as World Beard Day!

The more I see of this army, the more I like it. I was originally sort of nonplussed (outside of the awesome leader model). But I like the Excavator, and some of the unannounced models in that picture are very cool. Should be pretty easy to paint too...

I had bought a morghast to use as a demon prince conversion but that big beasty makes me think I should have waited.

I'm still negative about the faction as a whole, but it seems like there's at least 1 or two minis that have some appeal to them.

Well that is a bit more like what I thought we'd see. Remember when I said they should be abomination of skeletons smushed together... yeah. This is what I meant, just not with the silly crotch skeleton and Warmachine legs.

This is much better, but still has a few issues.

I'm really liking the undead Carnifex meets a corpse cart meets a ghost ark. Hopefully it'll have fun crazy rules appropriate to such a crazy model.

My son was already liking the Morghasts and the catapult, but the reptilian head on this crazy thing might sway him from his squig and troll heavy goblin list.

It's easy when it's always the first Saturday in September...

The crotch skelly seems like an easy fix with either a plate (maybe a repurposed shoulder guard or something) or a greenstuffed loincloth.

This army is going to be pretty huge. I am counting 8 possible heroes for it already.

Heros:
1. Mortisian Boneshaper- Only in leaked pics
2. Scythe Hero- Nova Reveal
3. Hero inside walking skulls- revealed in large army community pic
4. Tithe Hero- Revealed at Nova
5. Calvary Hero- Revaleaed in leaked image/full picture in community
6. Arkhan- Revealed in leaked images/Full Army pic
7. Katakros- Revealed at Nova
8. Nagash- May be in the army according to new army pic

Weird aside since the conversation has moved onto the Bonermancers... but on the topic of Gotrek... which armies can even take him in matched-play without losing their army buffs? Is he strictly meant to be a Legacy piece?

Taken from warscroll:

You can include Gotrek Gurnisson as an allied unit in any army that is a faction from the Order Grand Alliance. If you do so, you cannot include any other allied units in the army. You can include Gotrek Gurnisson in a Pitched Battle or Meeting Engagement army even if his points cost exceeds the amount allowed for allied units.

Very cool. Thanks Sotahullu.

It's a shame that the beard is the worst part of the new model.

Anyone know why Skaven are mentioned in that article?

To troll Ogre players hoping their book was imminent? Honestly not sure. Just hope they put the Cities book up tomorrow.

Expanding on the excellent Firestorm/Season of War ideas is great. That was when the setting finally started getting interesting.

So is there a way to find out who’s writing the Ossiarch book? I’m curious because if we know it could give an indication of if they’ll be OP like Flesh Eaters or more balanced like Grotz. I hope they’re just creative fun, I’d rather not stomp all over my friends because I got the new toyz.

Now that's a pretty nice proper bone construct thingy. Not sure of the arms (as it happens the non-bone construct parts) and definitely not a fan of the half-person dangling between his legs though.

Halberd+shield guys look pretty massive in that group pic.

I can see the Tomb King aesthetic in this model. Nice.

I need to see the 360 display, I can't get a good sense of it from those images.

Yeah. Presently the only thing I see is Morghast.

Did I miss something? was there a hue and a cry for bone construct monsters? I would think undead players would really like to have a Vampire army first. Oh well, maybe in two years.

I still want my damp blood lines back, couldn't be less interested in these new constructs.

I suppose vampires would have a bit more moisture about compared to Skeletons, but...

Hey, its a good way for GW to brand the Soulblight guys into their very own DAMPIRES. Blood so fresh they're always soaked in it, order right noooooOOoooow!

I was gonna correct that, but this wouldn't make any sense otherwise and since it raised a goodly chuckle it deserves to stand.

Some would, I’m sure. I doubt all undead players have the exact same opinions though.

Loved more Vampires but this does look an interesting army.

Dunno if y'all caught it, but the Warcry starter stuff is being released separately, and has Slaves to Darkness warscrolls for AOS:

Iron Golems >> https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//ENG_Warcry_AoS_Warscroll_IronGolems.pdf
Untamed Beasts >> https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//ENG_Warcry_AoS_Warscroll_UntamedBeasts.pdf
Raptoryx >> https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//ENG_Warcry_AoS_Warscroll_Raptoryx.pdf
Furies >> https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//ENG_Warcry_AoS_Warscroll_Furies.pdf

Pretty underwhelming, although these board game ports tend to be, and I'm not sure what I expected (spoiler: actual rules for the big dudes on each team would have been nice). Iron Golem 4+ save with a reroll if they don't move is pretty neat tho? And the Untamed Beast harpoon is pretty real for basically 70 pts per ... if only 8" :/

Hate to break it to you but they got those warscrolls when the starter came out
