weren't there supposed to be reveals this weekend?

There's two photos of new beasties doing the rounds from a video that went up and then was taken down/hidden very fast on the GW youtube channel.

The reveals event this evening is 9pm GMT so its a good few hours off yet. Though we fully expect to see a LOT of slaves to darkness stuff. (possibly more than GW might have wanted to say/show but in light of the major leak that's taken place many now know the slaves are coming)

The beasties are warcry related though. Could still be a slaves to darkness reveal, but so far, nothing leaked.

Nothing they couldn't slap into the StD book.

We'll definitely be getting a Battletome reveal just because the leaked release list has proven accurate thus far.

So far all the Warcry models are Slaves to Darkness too - so even if its marketed for Warcry it also fits into Slaves (which is why even if they don't get anything at launch its still going to be a big update to their range)

At the very least, that Ogroid is going to be a Daemon Prince. Perfect model

Agreed. Khorne Daemon Prince, specifically!

9:30 GMT

Love that we’re seeing new beasties.

Chaos needs it’s Gribblies, otherwise it’s just Barbaric Bungholes Wiv Pointy Bits!

A bit behind the trend, but I'm wondering - is there a rough eta on when the Ogre Tyrant from the boxed set will be available separately? Even just speculation based on previous instances of the "new character in a box full of old stuff" things.

Unfortunately, these things seem to just happen. Sometimes they happen sooner rather than later--sometimes they wait for a release slot that lines up with the thing in question.

I'd guess maybe next summer at the earliest though.

Probably a long time. Some of the models like the Guardian of Souls from Soul wars is still not an individual clampack.

Nothing from Carrion Empire or Loon Curse has had it's individual clampack made available yet either.

Sadly, if you want to use it anytime soon you have to pick up one form FoB or try to Ebay it.

Just for completion, Carrion Empire was released in mid-February, and as said those characters have not yet appeared as individual releases. So yeah - it could be a while.

Seems to be about 6 months to a year, with a significant chance of never too

long enough that if you actually want one grabbing it from ebay makes sense

Didn't Karanak and the Slaaneshi character come out pretty quickly?

Sure seemed like Karanak did.

I think so however its really random. GW releases some faster and some its almost as if they've forgotten about them. Honestly whilst the Skaven Warlock I can somewhat understand tehre being less faction pressure for; the Arch Regent I would have thought would have come out very fast considering that, at present, Flesh Eaters have a tiny roster of models (and even smaller if you consider that many people likely get the bulk of their army through start collecting sets).

I don't know if this is true for every last model, but it seems to me that a box comes some time prior to its army book release, the associated model comes out in a timely manner with the book. Whereas a box released alongside or after the army book doesn't present such an opportunity and the individual model release doesn't happen quickly or predictably.

The Daemon characters or Necron Cryptek would be an example of the former, the Carrion Empire and Looncurse models of the latter.

Which if close enough to the truth doesn't bode well for the ogre character and it may be worth looking at getting it second hand instead of waiting on GW to act.

They're heckin' gorgeous.

They are really cool. Great modern take on the classic chaos warriors.

Hang on a sec is that a SC box full of new models?

Yep!

Those are really nice looking.

When I was looking at the new Ossiarch book there was artwork of them fighting chaos knights. The knights in the photo looked little like the old ones- because they're totally these new ones!

Crap, and this is all on top of more Ossiarchs coming too!

YUP.

Explains why there's a new one coming.

The most amazing thing is it looks like the Start Collecting box coming in December for Slaves to Darkness will be the new models

Yep that will the one released on the 14th of December.

Great update of the Chaos Warriors keeps the old design but updates them and makes them more dynamic.

DAMN. Was not expecting all this. OK, count me in GW. It is time for me to get a STD

Wow...so amazing! I want them like yesterday!!

Slaves to dankness, here I come! Maybe there are dark gods? Something's been listening to my prayers!

And here we see the design advantage of AoS over WHFB. Simply, you can sculpt models to look Fighty, rather than Ranky.

That these are absolute amazing is just a significant bonus!

Welp! I think I know now what I am getting.


Although I am surprised that they are replacing chaos knights. Bit static but not that bad looking.
