karkadrak seems more like smashing together "Karcharos" and "drakon" from greek to mean "shark dragon" which isnt the worst (or the best) description of the thing.

for what is worth I like the name, and as Im not familiar with the old hammer.dwarf.holds (always and forever a Tilean dog of.war!) don't find it confusing.

Actually I think it may also take some inspiration from the Karkadann, which is a mythical creature that is described as a scaly rhinoceros with a poisonous/medicinal horn. It even has the rhino horn. So maybe Karka- from the mythical scaled rhinoceros, and -drakk from dragon.

That's great insight into the matter!

Fun fact - over on the TGA forums someone noticed that several of the recent "model hint rumour images" could be linked together and appears t obe as ramshackle and have a big stump leg rather like a certain walking skeleton ship from Vampire Coast in TW Warhammer (which took its source from an old GW White Dwarf and FW model army years back)(.

I'd go with it being something for the Grotbag Scuttlers rather than Pirate Vampires (in AoS Nagash has the undead pretty much under his bony thumb).

There has been a pirate vampire fleet referenced in the lore, plus the undead - especially the vampires always chaff under his grip.

Yeah, but I want to see the Grotbag Scuttlers first...

That's a common misconception. You actually want Vampirates first. It's a scientifically proven fact.

Ever since the sky dwarfs got their big ship I've been considering converting it with an undead crew. Though as with most other projects involving GW models that never happened. I wouldn't mind if I successfully procrastinated so long that GW releases the real deal.

Plus, I wouldn't mind if they released a new undead faction I actually like.

If it has a even slightly gloomy/serious aesthetic, I would drop every other AoS project for Vampire Coast. That is all. :-p

Next up

Disciples of Tzeentch and Kharadron Overlords including a battlebox called Aether War in January featuring two new Heroes

The Duardin version of a Tech-Priest by the look of things

Probably tied in to the Silver Towers that Tzeentch has been building at the edge of the Realm of Chamon.

Aw yeah. I wonder if the contents of the box mean Skywardens or Riggers are now battleline.
I hope and pray they learned their lessons, and KO will be at least as functional as everyone else.
Baloon doctor octopus looks great!

Nice Tzeentch dude.

And Battlebox means lots of already released minis.

Which means they'll be going cheap on bits sites.

Excellent...

That looks like a slim box.

The itty bitty skyboat and a box of flying dudes vs a box of Screamers and a box of Tzaangors on discs?

We (Tzeentch) better be getting a terrain piece and 9 endless spells.

Probably limited release unavailable if you dont preorder right at the preorder weekend.
Great to see AoS keeping up with the non stormcast centered releases though.

Wonder if the box is really that lite or there's more they haven't shown. Tzeench really deserves some love in the form of endless spells.

Really liking both models.

I think there’s more than meets the eye.
The video shows larger units than the basic 3 per box, so I wouldn’t mind betting we see quite a bit in there.

The character, 6 endrinriggers and a gunhauler is fairly cost heavy, so could be a nice discount box more than anything.
I wouldn’t mind betting the tzeentch stuff has more than a character, 3 screamers and 3 skyfires either to boost it.

Really love that Endrin Master! Looking forward to getting the box but Jesus that will be the 3rd one in a month..- sisters army box, Nid bioswarm and then this ..might sell the sisters box.. and I need to find someone to take the Tzeentch stuff from the box..

Looks like there might be KO terrain/model -there is the rugby ball shaped Endrin behind the riggers in one clip.. hoping the box set isn't stupidly priced ...

Looks like 6 skyfires which would balance it out model wise..

Yeah, one of the stills shows the two heroes, the gunhauler, 6 riggers, 3 screamers, and 6 skyfires. I'm assuming that's all of it for this box.

Hopefully some endless spells in the books. Or maybe terrain piece for KO.

Correct on the contents.

Feels a bit sparse to me. The insistance on the flying theme really hurts this box IMHO.

Hopefully it'll also be priced appropriately. I mean, I doubt it, but one can hope.

For the low low price of AUD$460!!!

But Tzaangor Enlightened flooding the market? Never a bad thing.

Yes, I'll just chime in with another observation that cheaper enlightened via third parties is the only positive I take out of this release.

Especially if the set is priced the same as the last Bonereapers v Ogres box which didn't tempt me for £100 and I really liked the models from that one...

Total value is about 315USD

Look like a 195-230USD box

OMG 100USD saved!!!!!

It's definitely a bit sparse, but it's about on par with what we've been seeing lately in these bigger boxes.

Price breakdown:
Endrinriggers are $40USD per 3, so that's $80.
Gunhauler is $50.

Enlightened are $40/3, so that's another $80.
Screamers are $35/3.

We're looking at $245USD with no pricing on the heroes.

Hopefully we'll see the box-exclusive models released at some point next year. Looncurse was released in March and we're still waiting for the Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig and Arch-revenant to drop.

EDIT: Corrected release date.

Hell, we're still waiting on the models from the Skaven and Flesh-Eaters box.

I've wanted and unnamed Brokk since KO first came out, but it's hard to get excited about any of these new heroes since they're all stuck in limited edition expensive box sets with no individual releases in sight. So while I would theoretically love more stuff for my long suffering KO army, this gets more of a yawn than a yay from me. And if the new guy is as important to the army as the new ghoul hero was for flesheaters, I'll probably not even worry about the new book and just let my KO army continue collect dust which means I won't be doing my planned expansion of that army either, so that's probably at least a good $300 GW just saved me while I go see what's going on with Kings of War or if Oathmark looks any good.

Not going to lie, I feel this was a very lame Christmas reveal. We get two neat models for AoS (one for a new unit), notification that we are getting tomes for two factions everyone knew were getting tomes and yet another space marine character (because their aren’t 100 of them already). Oh and a made to order.

I would have hoped for at least a Scions of Flame or new Underworlds warband reveal. Or at least a new unit box for something.

Yeah, I play Gloomspite Gitz so that plastic Loonboss is all that matters...

Gotta hold those models hostage longer so people feel the need to buy these new increased price battle box more. It's all business.

The boxed set seems something of a surprise. Christmas reveals aren't necessarily big. Last year was just a video, if a fun one,

What battle boxes? Looncurse sold out on the first day and has not had any further production runs.

I wonder if the "missing" character models for AoS will get rolled into new Start Collecting boxes. Seems like the new StD box may be the approach to some of this stuff moving forward.

LVO is a month from today. I am sure that is when the Q1 major reveals will happen.
