Ha!

For a second I thought those were Imperial Fists in the background!

Yeah, its not a good scheme. It makes AoS look even more like 40k.

You know those are just the old black orcs from fantasy, right?

Yeah. Still bright yellow like imperial fists. I don't know why they decided to paint black orcs yellow, instead of painting them black or dark silver.
From a distance they really look more like Imperial Fists to me.

Black like Black Templars or silver like Grey Knights?

Neither.

Ahh, yeah, they just share a colour - they look nothing like them. I see

That's an interesting base for the female caster.

I love the alternative build for the hero on hippocamp.

You mean why did they paint them yellow like the 40K Bad Moonz?

Man, I always muse about starting new armies, but Deepkin is like... so good. Just amazing, I really think I'm gonna go for it this time.

Bad Moonz aren't as bulky or heavily armored though, so you can see that they are orks.
From a distance, orruks look a lot like imperial fists. I think it would have been better if they used a darker shade or added more details instead of just yellow.

I can see where Cthulhu spybis coming from- at a quick glance all you see is blocky, chunky, hunched over blob of yellow weildind oversized weapons. Which does fit the classic space marine vibe in my book.

Those are literally the same Ironjaws Ardboys they use to showcase on their webstore...

I'm not attracted to fantasy orcs, so I don't look over them basically ever.

Now the Idoneth.. Thats a faction I like the looks of!

I'll be honest- I don't like the direction new kits tooks after age of sigmar started, and it tainted the whole range for me :(

k

I think Deepkin is a hit and miss

I like that they are aquatic and the character on the seahorse and on the wave are fantastic minis.
Tortoise on the other hand... It`s ok by itself and the the crew nest also looks good by itself, but they mix like hot dogs and chocolate sauce. Looks like a conversion made from 2 completely different kits.
Eel riders look great - eels themselves - meh
Infantry is the most dissapointing for me - They look too angly to me, which is probably "CAD sideffect disease" - some designs are touched by it. others are more lucky.
The banner character is waaaay to stylised/cartoony

Squid Dude - love the concept, BUT I wish it was executed in the Festus/Sigvald/Valkia_the_bloody sculpting style

The overall trend of Every new army release having these "bigger and better and more dynamic and crazier than ever" minis is a bit tiresome.

Has there been any word on if either of the two Silver Tower Aelfs are part of this faction? Some of the Turtle crew have very similar masks to the Mist weaver.

The tonka truck paint scheme is still ridiculous, people were talking about that when Ironjawz came out.

Subtlety isn't something one thinks of in regards to Ironjawz. They're loud and proud and their colours show their enemies exactly who's bashing them into the ground.

I think the Iron jaws were meant to be the evolution of the 'Black Orc' elements of the Classic orc force. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a faction which centers around the 'Savage Orcs' at some point. I'm wondering if they'll pair them more with the Forrest/Jungle Goblins somewhat more though.

That's called the "Bonesplitterz" and it doesn't have the Grots in there.

Yeah, they can't ally with Spider Grots because they'll slaughter all the spiders.

To the Bonesplitterz everything on four or more legs is a Waaagh pinata.

Edit: also i'll agree I wish they went with a subdued yellow on the main Ironjawz but at least it does match up with their prosperity mirroring the Dark Moonz and it's explained they're just aping the Stormcast.

Goddang, that Avatar of Mathlann is prettier in its second build format.

Also: rules!

Spoiler:

Status markers are: Inspiring Presence, Low Tide, High Tide, Ritual of Erosion, Ritual of the Storm, and Lord of the Tide.

Avatar of Mathlaan Rules

1st ability- Reroll 1 to Hit and +1 Damage on the spear if you charge. Heal D3 damage after the charge. And you can charge even after retreat.

Second ability : reroll Wound roll of 1 for units within 9".

Last one : at the start of Combat phase you can debuff a Hero within 3" if he has a Wound carac less than 8 -> -1 to Hit till the end of Combat phase.

Surprised this isn't getting more discussion.

Those abilities look good and i'm interested in what the tides will do.

Also interesting note someone made at War of Sigmar, the designers want all the aelven gods to be eye-level with Alarielle.

As Kan mentioned, that is literally the Bonesplitterz battletome that has been out for over a year.

Of course it does. Otherwise you could never have had Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings or any army based on spell animation or manipulation. Because the enemy could just "dispel it first".

In a fair amount of books, that is exactly how the enemy to those armies won, they dispelled the force.

The sculptor was too crabby.

No! Bad poster!

That pun was ripe for the telling, to clam up then would have been cray.

you sir are the devil

Well, deviled clams maybe.

I caught a leak from a whatsapp group:

4 terrain bundles for (according to leaker) november.

4 sylvaneth wyldwoods. Roughly 16% added value.

Ruined/Desolated (cannot remember the exact name) township. 104 euros for 6 azyrite ruins ans one objective set.

The 40k ones are a bunch of the crates and 2 cranes and ferratomic stuff.

Well, that's interesting but a bit disappointing.

I really was hoping that this summer we would start to see new scenery for AOS that aren't Chaos or Ruins, but Stormkeeps, or something to represent Order Free Cities.

We'll see...

This is not a leak exactly. You can see all the bundles on faeit. The info was sent out by GW to gauge demand before November. It does not contain anything new. The 40k scenery we know is coming is not included in the deals for example.

Indeed, was really hoping for a Stormkeep too.

Oh well, not like I can't use some new terrain anyway if it still looks good.

Edit: haha, info ninja'd. That's interesting they're gauging interest like that.

They have shadow daemons dont they? Then again morathii used them too but arent in their book..

Morathi summoned them to her to keep her company, act as guardians/scouts and occasional lovers.

As the god of the realm, doubtless her son would have as much if not more power over them.
