That satanic fire-breathing endless spell looks awesome, especially with that paint job. Other ones look cool too, excited to see what the rules are. Definitely interested in double-size warcry reboxes, concerned what the price may be.

I like those endless spells a lot. Along with the new battletome and SC I'm really thinking it's time to dust off my Chaos warriors.

I prefer to buy from miniature manufacturers that *don't* support the overthrow of democracy.

I think that burning icon is going to be part of tons of conversions in the future.
Almost too good to pass up.

Just hoping forgeworld give chaos dwarves some love.
Wouldn’t mind some endless spells and a bit of terrain.
Hell, I’d settle for having the skullcracker mould fixed.

Those spells look boring for spells, but great terrain/conversion bits.

At present FW seems to be going in the opposite direction. Even with GW central now doing the rules they are still rather undervalued as models so far as central GW is concerned it seems. Far less advertising; almost nothing new (the only new things AoS has had in 5 years are the Chaos Dragon that started in the End Times and 12 new Stormcast heads). Meanwhile we've actually lost several models recently and a few more this this weekend have a big question mark over them (including the warpfire dragon - however they are only listed as sold-out which might just mean FW has to get new moulds cast for them).

However they still have odd rules in so much as when you compare things like exalted and regular greater demons the FW offerings appear to be weaker/less interesting. Meanwhile destruction still has multiple models listed that would easily fit into the themes of other factions (including a huge undersea monster that still, for some unfathomable reason, isn't allowed for the Idoneth).

While it’s not much more, remember that they have added stuff like Shar’tor too.
I believe he was the first AoS era model to drop from them.
While it has been stupidly quiet, legion of Azgorh do have entries in the GHB 2019, so squatting doesn’t seem likely.
My only annoyance is that they have been limited for quite a while, so if FW don’t repair moulds, they will die off because of that.

I wonder if the Spire Tyrants and the Scions of the Flame warbands will go straight to these double sized boxes, or if they will have an initial run of the smaller sets + cards?

Well they'll get Warcry boxes with the cards and whatnot, and then hopefully double boxes right from the go.

So what you are saying is that you wanted them to discontinue some models?

The CW helmets are not all great, but those bare heads are oh so sweet. I guess two boxes it is. 20 knights - later on 25 - should be nice enough for an Order of the Fly list. Maybe...there will even be advantages to run a ton of knights instead of 40 men blobs of marauders :O

I think he means he'd rather they discontinued the only knights and warriors and replaced them with these newer sculpts with multi-part options for various weapons. Rather than the current setup where you've got old warriors, old knights and at least one weapon upgrade pack for the warriors.

So nothing would be lost from the army, just updated with a new sculpt.

Yes? Isn't that how updated kits tend to work?

The current Chaos Warriors were fine for WHFB, but they're just sad and outdated in AoS.

I'm surprised someone is able to frame new and old kits being available concurrently as a bad thing, but whatever.

It's a bad thing because GW does it. When it is Mantic Games, it is genius. See the trick ?

Vigo. Spain.

If they kept the old chaos warriors with the new chaos warriors in the multipart plastic kit then thats great, more variety.

But the days of the old chaos warrior kit are clearly counted.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

You must be new here.

Personally, I'm digging the new sculpts, and I'm okay with the classic kits not going away quite yet. Until they have a multi-part kit that covers all available weapon options, they should keep those around.

Both should hit eBay not long after the box is released (that's how I got my individual endless spells without having to buy the whole lot.)

I would not be surprised at all if in a few months time once the SC box has been around for long enough they will break them down into MPPK boxes for sale (the new Chosen also make me believe that there will be much more for SoD being released later down the track)

I like that they are not discontinuing the old Chaos Warriors. I genuinely love the look of those guys as they make amazing rank and file members of the general Chaos Army, while the new guys looks like THEY should be Chosen, or something more elite.

Seeing that people can get both is a great way to keep the old fans of the models (like me) interested in continuing to purchase product.

It's baffling, huh?

Really this is just a pivot on what Start Collectings! are. Soon they'll all be more simplistic minis (like the last 2 that came out, and this one), and not something existing players use to bulk up an army.

Those aren’t new Chosen, they’re the existing ones.
