Pre-order up on NZ site, both Melusai and Khinerai are up.


...AAAnd the sprues for Khinerai are incorrect.

Wait, what is the silver thing supposed to be? Frag grenades? Hilariously enough, the Blood Stalkers description doesn't mention that bit, it mentions they have sashes on waist, though, copy-pasted from the Blood Sister description, despite the fact that bit is completely absent on the Blood Stalkers...

I was wondering what they were as well!


I'm also wondering who let the photographer overexpose all the 360views - all that nuclear white hair glowing!

It also mentions they have sacrificial knives...would make sense that it's vials for blood.

Blood for Khaine would pretty much be a good description.

I suppose these are the phials with arrow poison mentioned in WD.

I don't know, both explanations seem reasonable, but the holder is way too fiddly for either of these. If these were vials, you'd expect them to be stored vertically, if poison containers, you'd expect them to be some place not requiring two extra arms to actually apply it to arrow. Though, poison seems to be more likely as whatever it is it's absent from cqc snake girls and you'd expect these to actually be in position to pick up blood more often...

I already really liked the snake ladies, but the kinda-sorta harpies are awesome.

Really impressive set of minis they've released with this book.

The snake body part looks neat, can't wait to pick them up. I'll just have to wait for a little bit. Supposedly snow got in a way of distribution, can anyone say anything more, how harsh was the weather ?

The weather has certainly been exceptional for the UK and its not done yet. So delays would not surprise me.

It’s been pretty bad in some areas (red weather warnings, etc) and even a small amount of snow grinds the UK to a halt, let alone what some places have had.

So getting express shipping from Forge World was foolish?

I must admit that I can't recall seeing reports of cars being buried under snow drifts in my South West neck of the woods before.

Well, it screwed orders for Portugal for sure. No book this week, but it seems my FLGS will get both the book, dice, morathi AND the snake girls and harpies next Monday since GW did something like "Aight, screw it, weather is insane, might as well send it all before something happens again"

Considering snakes and harpies come out next weekend formally its not shock that orders are going out this week containing them for stores. A week isn't long in international shipping and considering GW manufacture all in house in the UK it wouldn't shock me if some territories already have stock of snakes and harpies already (those further afield - shipping wise -from the UK).

I was ready to post "man those Lifetakers are SO amazing that they ALL get 360 views"...then the fifth one didn't. Booo!

I love, love, love the Kinerai.

So,any place where I can confirm what is the Bloodwrack Medusa's base size? And for the statue of Khaine itself? The Cauldron of Blood special box does bring a somewhat big round base (same size as my Ironjawz Brute's, so I'm guessing 40mm) that's probably for the Medusa, but I dunno if I can use for the statue too.

The box comes with the 40mm for the medusa. I think it says it in the webstore description of the box. As for the statue, I would assume it's the same base size as the 40k avatar of khaine? So another 40mm..maaaybe a 50mm. The 50 just looks better in my opinion but I don't think anything official has been stated.

It rarely snows this much across so much of the country and sticks around for so long. Plenty of parts of the country basically shut down for days as, due to the infrequency, we don't really have the equipment and infrastrcuture to cope with it.

Things should be back to normal for most places next week.

I never realized what a dire threat global warming is until now. sarcasm

Considering the local post office is about a mile and a half away from my house, and there hasn't been a delivery for three days straight, probably.

Although I'm sure they put your stuff in a box really quickly.

How could you have known? I'd think it's an unfortunate timing.

Look at the bright side - once the backlog of postage restarts you should at least get it pushed through that system a bit faster - maybe

Ahem...

Love how morathi looks, but does anyone else find her a painful build compared to a lot of other kits?

Having just built six spirit hosts I can comfortably say, probably not.

Only big thing I've seen on instagram is you can't build her to paint and then expect to put her around her pillar base thing, she won't fit over it built.

Only in a couple of places. Figuring out the tail was a pain at first. The only other really irritating part was the back of the dress, getting that to line up was a pain in the ass for some reason. Other than that, just the expected annoyance of getting the unfurled wing to glue in place.

I figured labeling it explicitly as sarcasm would clarify I was telling a joke with no commentary on the larger issue made or intended.

Sometimes reading, for example, a certain Twitter account made me unable to distinguish between the different levels of sarcasm in this particular case... Sorry, no harm meant.

So, how do you pronounce Kinerai?

Kin-air-ee?
Kin-er-eye?
Kin-er-ay?
