Damn, GW, why you gotta be so good? GSC is awesome, and the fodder for conversions is amazing.

In my defense, I did a search for "Cult bikes" on the NR forum and didn't see anything recent - my bad.

Fantastic! I wonder if Doc really is a healer or that shepherd's crook is for holding "patients" still whilst they get a dose of vitamin G...?

I think it’s like a dial he’s turning.

Fabulous stuff

wonder how long I have to wait

He is the Master of the Rave, and that's a Technics 40001 wired up to his portable speaker rig. There will be an empty warehouse sector kit released soon.

That still is massive, hadn't realised the scale from earlier shots. Some gorgeous models here.

I can't wait to see someone turning this:

into this:


And then I'll have to build one too.

Really don't like this guys art style, I hope they don't use him again.

New models look amazing, I just hope at least a couple of them have decent rules.

I wonder how much GW will overcharge us here in Japan because after a long time I'm dying to get some official figures.

IIRC, Japanese prices have the same issue as Australian prices, so take the UK price, exchange it to your local currency, and then double it.

Those character models are glorious

Strongly disagree. Whether you like this individual artist or not, GW going back to employing artists with various different styles would absolutely be a brilliant move, the endless parade of the fairly generic "house style" we've had in recent years has been a complete snorefest even when many of the individual works have been good - nobody sane wants ice cream for every meal.

The old GW gave us a huge range of art styles, and that meant there was something for everybody. Bring on the next Wayne England or Blanche, IMO. And get this guy(and others) doing wee bits for codexes to break up the monotony.

I'm supposed to call a doctor if it lasts more than four hours, right? Dammit, GW! I wasn't going to start a new army until Sisters came out later this year!

Yep. And personally I think the guy's art style is great. Really refreshening. I usually favour stylised and weird over polished bland realism.

We’re also promised more GSC stuff to come....

I actually really like it. There's something really grungy and 'wrong' with his style. The GSC always looked a bit too clean, whilst the trailer makes them look suitably deformed and wrong in a way that fits 40k's tone well.

My gripe is his use of colour. It's too bombastic and bright, which I feel goes against the lines.

There's the doctor we see in the trailer who wasn't previewed and the Warhammer World map guy (although I suspect he'll be a WHW Exclusive). I read that the reliable GSC leaker said a Lord of War was coming based off bucket-wheel excavators too.

It is indeed nice to see some more diversity in art styles. An issue with a lot of the more modern artwork was that it at a certain point really became generic video game art whose only purpose was product placement, it didn't give us any atmosphere anymore.

I utterly love the artistic style - I think like a lot of things coming out of GW right now its got a very 80s style to it (harkening back to old anime/animations). Heck if Gw wanted I'd be happy to watch an entire series/movie animated in that style of the Genestealer Cults in the 41st millennium!

The trailer art style was nice.

And the open day page says there's one more big reveal to go, so we'll see what that is.

Love the art style.

M.

That's the question for us indeed...

The art style reminds me of Mike Mignola, I love it.

I'd love to paint all these new releases! They're stunning but I have too much stuff piled up already
I'm tempted to get a small 500pts force or so. Damn it GW!

Yes, true!

I love the models but that gives us what 10 HQ models? Thatare unique and not just armor variations like Space Marines. They are all gorgeous but at this point another new unit would have been better spent resources to me.

I suspect some will be Elites, possibly unit upgrades?

New light vehicle?

I think it's just a goliath with some artistic freedom.
