I want a focus on the terrain kits, myself.

Granted, I definitely want the rules to get some preview love as well, but for me the terrain has the most crossover appeal.

Phenomenal miniatures

More images from Sprues and Brews

Friendship with Snakedudes ended. Now Ravenfolk is my new best team.

Like, seriously, I have a thing for ravens and crows with some of my Nurgle stuff, even got the big KD:M birdie to use as a cockatrice. And building a MGS Vulcan Raven *right now* out of a Slaughterpriest for a couple of tech-barbarians for Inquisimunda.

Then those guys drop and I didn't even know there was a preview planned for today.

Warcry, BB Woodies...drool.

Holy gak, I expect to be a fight at my FLGS over who gets to play these guys.

That is a pretty cool looking warband. My favorite so far.

Neat, makes me wonder what else they've come up with.

Wonderfully dynamic models.

Just wish they’d speed up the Warcry Dripfeed!

Not for me. Like, at all.

Not a fan of the aesthetic, but they're showing off a very dynamic range of miniatures (at least in style - they'll all be optionless mono-pose miniatures), so I can at least appreciate that.

Still like the diving helmet folks the most so far.

So, that's

Khorne - Iron Golems
Undivided - Untamed Beasts
Slaanesh - Splintered Fang
Tzeentch - Raven dudes

???

Not in a "this is clearly worshipping god X" way, but very congruent design elements between the main armies and the Warcry stuff, but with awesome twists. Leaving Nurgle-ish and a wildcard band?

I just wish we'd have ANYthing on gameplay so far. I really need this to be as good as Underworlds, so I'll get to actually play it.

Eh. Leans way too far into the theme. Subtle could have been good, but these are too much.

These guys are insane. Game looks better and better with each preview

We still need a realm of death warband, realm of light warband, and realm of fire warband. But there are only two warband icons left.

Those guys look great. They give me a real classic swords and Sorcery movie feel. They also have real weapons, which is another plus.

Another great warband. I really want to pick most of them.
I'm hoping the next one will have a little less flesh/muscles, just to add more variety.

Only minor minor minor gripe is that the motto of these guys is the weakest one yer

Not sure how likely that is. I've ruled out Shyish as a realm of warband origin for myself, leaving Aqshy and Hysh. I guess you might get a a monk robe theme for the enlightened realm, but given Aqshy is home to all sorts of half naked people, I'd assume you'll get some more muscle and flesh yet.

Actually they ALL appear to be of the Undivided Allegiance. What sets each of them apart is what realm they come from.

Iron Golems - Chamon
Untamed Beasts - Ghur
Splintered Fang - Ghyran
Corvus Cabal - Ulgu

This is a look at Undivided based on different realms.

Somehow each warband is better than the last. I honestly thought they must’ve peaked with snake dudes.

I have a bone club with your name on it that says you're wrong.

We know they have options though...

Tell you what.

If I get ded at a LARP event, that’ll pretty much be the end of my House.

These Warcry sets are giving me ideas for spare characters!

Cool band, Very ninja-esque feeel. The female models certainly look much better than the other bands.

Still hope all the kit would be a bit more modular and posable.

Truthfully, it looks/seems like all of the warbands are meant to be Undivided, simply worshiping Chaos rather than a specific deity.

Iron Golems wrote:Like all Warcry warbands, the Iron Golems offer a more complex, nuanced take on Chaos than we’ve seen before. The Iron Golem miniatures combine classic Chaos aesthetics with cultural cues based on the Mortal Realm from which they originate. Hailing from the Realm of Metal, these warriors are renowned for the quality of their smithing, believing themselves chosen by Archaon himself to forge arms and armour for the Slaves to Darkness.

Untamed Beasts wrote:Just as distinct as their Chamonite counterparts, the Iron Golems, the Untamed Beasts are nomadic warriors. They scorn those who indulge in fripperies like establishing permanent settlements or wearing forge-crafted armour, instead subsisting on hunting carnivorous beasts – or any unfortunates who’ve stumbled into their domain.

Splintered Fang wrote:These guys might hail from the Realm of Life, but they’ve got nothing but death for their foes! And snakes – lots and lots of snakes. These guys show off facets of Chaos rarely seen on the tabletop, as one of the insidious murder cults who use cunning as much as brute force to claim victory. Just like with the Iron Golems and Untamed Beasts, the Splintered Fang show off new aspects of Chaos – there’s even an aelf amongst them!
If you’re a fan of the more seductive, civilised side of Chaos, or you’re looking to conquer Warcry through dirty tricks and judicious use of poison, this is the warband for you.

Corvus Cabal wrote:Meet the Corvus Cabal – a shadowy pack of murderers hailing from Ulgu. These guys worship Chaos as a vast, black-feathered bird known as the Great Gatherer, offering trophies stolen from their victims to this strange deity. The Corvus Cabal have come to the Varanspire to seek the patronage of Archaon, who they see as an avatar of the Great Gatherer. They use stealth, guile and unnatural cunning to claim victory in the Bloodwind Spoil.

Each of these have shown off not an aspect of one of the Powers, but rather a Realm. So we've seen:
Chamon(Metal/Iron Golems), Ghur(Beasts/Untamed Beasts), Ghyran(Life/Splintered Fang), and now Ulgu (Shadow/Corvus Cabal).
That leaves us Aqshy(Realm of Fire), Shyish(Realm of Death), Azyr(Heavens--Sigmar's Realm), and Hysh(Tyrion and Teclis' Realm) with no representation.

Two of those Realms(Hysh and Azyr) don't seem like they'd be the place where we'd see baddies springing up from, but there's only 2 Warbands left unrevealed so it's likely that we'll be seeing the remaining two(Fleshy Face and Chaos Star) coming out of Aqshy and Shyish.

This is a look at Undivided based on different realms.

While the realm is most important, there's still too much of a similarity with major gods for three of the bands to them not worshipping an aspect of the pantheon - knowingly or not. It's something that cropped up a lot in older WHFB and 40k stuff but had taken a backseat for most of the more recent editions. Worshipping the Great Gatherer might not make Tzaangor Enlightened turn up on your doorstep, but you'd still strenghten Tzeentch (or one of his Greater Demons or princes).


I'm not saying that it's 100% for sure that the meat tenderiser wielding smith dudes in red armour are leaning Khorne, but it's certainly possible. This makes porting over Khorne bits easy - and the other way round - but you can also paint them bright pink or black or white, it's subtle enough to not shoehorn you into a niche. I like it a lot.

I don’t see any elements here that bring aligned cues forward to me. Like has already been said, I see themes from their realms of origin, which I think they are doing well.

In terms of the remaining realms, I think we are in for a surprise. I think one will be from Hysh.

New favourites for sure, but all the warbands shown so far have been great.
