The female GSC magus will be a great jumping off point for Slaaneshi or DoK conversion.

There was some meme going around a while ago where Spongebob breathes in with his fingers in that position and then says "Boi", I never quite understood it but this character certainly reminds me of that.

same source again.

lovely stuff.

Absolutely loving those ambots and the ambull!

Someone is recycling (?) FW renegade molds... I already saw this rogue psyker... on Vraks perhaps?

Don't stop here people, there is a whole range to be revived!

Necromunda Wyrdlock Bounty Hunter, huh?

Think you'll find that's a Renegade Militia Rogue Psyker:


If they're repurposed that for Necromunda I will not be impressed.

They defo have,

The new Magus.. oh man, she is awesome. Also saves me doing that long waiting Yvraine conversion as I'd not top this... if I get little else than the Codex for my second lads army, I will get him one of her.

More Gobbo's and an extra Troll in BB are also useful as well.

That is... disappointing.

But let's forget that and focus on the positives. There are a lot of things to like in these reveals (more tomorrow?), including a bona fide expansion pack for Blackstone Fortress rather than Silver Tower's repurposed Warhammer minis. And the Ambullissance continues with the Ambots being revealed. I mean sure, keen-eyed readers would have seen it in the Version 1.0 Stream Release of Newcromunda (along with another upcoming noble-looking Bounty Hunter with a powdered wig), but it's nice to finally see them.

I have to say that without a shadow of a doubt my fav mini out of this entire lot would have been her:


This miniature is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to get it. GW's previews in recent months have only made me exclaim out loud involuntarily twice. Once was the plastic Flesh Hounds ("YES!", I cried at the YouTube window, as I had been waiting a long time for them), and the other was this Magus ("Aw sweet!" I said aloud to no one, equal parts happy that the model existed, yet sad that GW continues their 'only draw the minis' trend).

And I said she would have been my fav mini of the whole bunch... except then they showed this guy:


I don't know who this guy is or what he does, other than the picture calls him a 'Cult Locus'. It's... amazing. He's almost Genestealer Cult Mechanicus with the decoration on the robe's trim. He's just incredible. A new AdMech HQ mini is also nice. Do hope he's not only in the Commander KT box. Is that going to be a thing going forwards? Commanders in the KT faction boxes? If it gets rid of the shockingly overpriced individual commander boxes, then good!

There are tons of other amazing things. We get an expansion on those "Moonbase" ruins as a new soon-to-be-sold-out KT Killzone, including new buildings to go with it. We get more Sector Mechanicus terrain (which as you know, I need more of), in the form of this fabulous drill:

(Funt Fact - this drill comes with the 'straight walkway' sprue, which is one of the harder ones to get as most sets don't include it)

And if any'a y'all have a keen eye, then if you turn your head 90 degrees to the right you'll see something very new here:

that female magus oh lawd, not often one to buy a model just to have the model but might make an exception there. Like a female ming the merciless

Interesting. Urban Conquest - 1-4 players.

And if any'a y'all have a keen eye, then if you turn your head 90 degrees to the right you'll see something very new here:

My eye is not that keen. :(

New terrain.

The set comes with "Sector Imperialis Fallen Statues" and a redone objectives kit (there's a field generator, a little mausoleum thingy, crates and a mini generator thing.

Here, hold on, I'll type rapidly on my keyboard like one of those l337 hackerz and zoom and enhance for you:





I'd be really excited about Urban Conquest is I didn't find 8th Ed so boring...

I'll be turning that female Magus into an Escher aligned wyrd for sure, she's incredible

Why? It's a great model and suits the purpose perfectly.


Oh, and this Genestealer stuff is absolutely amazing.

Will be interesting to see if the new KillTeam Ad Mech and GSC commanders are named characters in 40k or new generic HQs.

Ad mech is crying out for a 3rd (non-Cawl) HQ option.

They'll be generics almost definitely. The Commander sets have been providing us with a name for Kill Team and a filled out datacard but otherwise they're just named versions of a generic.

Exception is the stuff from "Rogue Trader"...but for how long, who knows. Gellerpox Infected make up a big storyline for Vigilus Defiant, and a Rogue Trader that isn't the lady from Rogue Trader whose name is eluding me at 0818am.

I'm hesitantly excited for this gent though. I'm at a point with my AdMech that I'm done with buying anything that is not NEW new. Not opposed to getting some more Sicarian though.

It should be noted that the Admech guy has a different weapon in the article than the one he's equipped with in the display case. So we're getting options

Also, the ambull-preview is up

GW is like an ex girlfriend that you left because she is a crazy person, but can't stop answering late night calls from because she is still too damn hot.

Seriously though these guys are a changed company these days, reeling me back in with some genuinely awesome stuff.

Sweet!

Also: YAY! There's a non-Pope Hat head!

Concept art from the Sprues and Brews Twitter:

AdMech needed a new HQ. I like that it's this guy. He's interesting.

I love the admech HQ (please don't be an elite slot). The only thing I dislike about the model is the tentacles sticking straight out from his armoured power gut. But I imagine I can just leave those off

Love the reinterpretation/update of the ambull! Overall, some really nice figures there.

Valete,

"chaos ogryn"?

"Possessed Sword"?
(looks Slaanesh to me...)

Color me Excited!

Soo soo much glorious stuff.

The Possessed Sword could either be a Character or an endless spell?

Traitor Guard and some sort of Eldar ghost? Hell yeah!

It says:
"____ssary
____________ Smoke Substance
Made of Darkness
Slaanesh Possessed Sword"

I'm fairly certain the first word is "Emissary", but before "Smoke Substance" it's heavily obscured.

It's hard to see but it has "Lord of Darkness" and "Slaanesh Possessed Sword".

Maybe at the top is "Dark Emissary"?

I think it’s ‘Blade of Darkness’?
