Can't wait for pre-orders. Not planning on complete army but Furies and Gorgons look gorgeous. Morathi might make it, if she's not priced too high.

The Bloodwrack is on 40, but she looks somewhat larger than these new medusa/gorgons. Just looking at the pics, their bases don't look much bigger than the witch aelves.

You've lost me. They reboxed old WHFB units to bigger but discounted boxes. What do these two AoS releases have to do with that?

Then I'd bring your attention to Wild Riders, Glade Guard, and Eternal Guard.

All were reboxed to include the round/oval bases but have not had their numbers increased.

To be fair they’ve done it with Stormcast too, but they did it when they got a new book (which Sylvaneth and Fyreslayers haven’t).

They did it with Stormcast, Seraphon, Ogres, and a few others. Not all of them have coincided with book releases either. Just the majority of them.

You're being either deliberately obtuse or your missing the actual point. If the rebox accompanies a new battle tome then it generally gets a discount. Stormcast followed the updated stormcast book, Seraphon happened with their release, orgres with theirs, iron jaws with theirs, and dryads with theirs. If you notice a trend it's the reboxed battleline "for battle tome release" that tends to happen. Every thing you listed as reboxed but not bumped in size isn't for a new a book.

Honestly, this would be a good opportunity for them to go 20 for $63 or something similar as that would bring the prices closer to inline with the current battle line options for released books of the same point value. Personally I hope they do. I could easily see wanting to field 2-3 20-30 man units of daughters infantry alongside the harpies and snake ladies. The new models look fantastic and it feels like an AoS army from the previews. Not an entirely new faction unfortunately like the Overlords but something closer to Iron Jawz & Sylvaneth which outside of the GHB2 changes to Iron Jawz, is a great thing.

The Ironjawz/Sylvaneth style update is my favorite method. It allows people to use their old legacy armies while still giving them new toys. I'd love to see this continue with other legacy factions!

Several Tzeentch boxes actually had price increases when their Battletome was released.

Well, 2. But yeah, that was odd.

Mine too. I really like it when they can implement it in a cool way like they seem to have done. We'll see if this slots in well with the other two that way.

@Ghaz

Was that flamers and screamers? I think that was a fault of the Start Collecting which is why it's been an outlier so far. Tzeentch daemons didn't have a "big" unit like khorne and nurgle and they didn't have a combine two chariots to make this model like Tzeentch. So that left them either bumping the prices on two units they've probably sold tons of already and which aren't super popular choices anyway and putting them in the bundle or dropping one choice to add another pink set or putting in their new blue and brim set which they wouldn't do. Tzeentch suffered because they were already reasonable and didn't have a big unit that was overpriced.

I showed my wife these. Or tried to. She already subscribed to GW’s mailing list, so saw them before I could show her myself, and she loved them. Followed by “oh...I love you too” as an add-on. I wonder how many of these will be entering our apt...

Nobody post the rules for heralds?

Order Warmachines, eh?

Strong, but not OP. Cool. Any chance of showing the other 3 heralds?

The images aren't great or I would. As it stands, for whatever reason, the Ordinator isn't showing up when I look at it via my phone. Weird.

The fallen, for Varangur.

I foynd that a simple head swap and the right skin tone made the elves on the shrine into decent heralds of Slaanesh, so you could turn them into daemonettes.

I wonder if this means that there will be Stormcast warmachines? Sure, you could bring allies, but it is a bit weird that the Ordinator has two abilities that affect warmachines, while his own faction doesn't have any.

Well, the fluff is that he leads work gangs of Dispossessed and Freeguild and builds fortifications/the great cities.

The great Warqueen makes the stuff behind her look terrible

I dislike the move toward the models and units "wholly within" for aura's and abilities.

Vorian wrote:

Yeah... At least they didn't use the old marauders. I really want new marauder models with Darkoath aesthetic. That would finally make me start a chaos army.

Oh wow, Lord - Ordinator with Bolt Throwers and Loremaster.

I prefer it this way in most cases. It prevents those weird conga line formations.

Not that they couldn't be improved, but I think I'm the only person who actually likes the marauder models.

You probably are.

Generic Darkoath marauders that we can toss marks on afterwards would be great.

The Queen looks brutal if she can knock off enough heroes too. Hope she's up for preorder soon!

Sp we probably gets 2 kits and morathi.

Rather small release, but with what was aavailable previously, you have a decent amount of choices for the army

He isn’t. I like em two. I have...like 60 of them?

Nah, I like the barbarians, too. You just have to remodel the shoulders to properly line up muscles and you have a very nice old style miniature. The WoC are great, too. Killing machines without unneeded trimmings. The chaos knights are already a bit busy and lets not talk about Varanguard. The styles don't mix well, though, so a line of updated barbs as Darkoath dudes would rock...if priced like Kairics at worst.

But those elves...they're so good. Probably so expensive that I won't be tempted. Right?!

Don't know if it's true or not, but the above warscrolls are possibly fake.

Wow, I wasn’t paying attention to writing. Blah. How did I get a number “2” instead of the also “too”. Strange...
