Because we know that the card items were produced in China, and if anything happens like that GW usually marks it "produced in China".

I've bought 2 godsworn hunts and one set of the tzeentch guys and they have all been made in china according to the packaging which says made in UK on all the standard kits. I reckon if you go to a store and take a look on any kits from around that time you have a decent chance of seeing it.

My Zarbag's Gitz and The Wurmspat both say 'Made In The UK'.

Yeah, that stuff comes from after GW got the second production line going. I'm not the only one to see made in China for underworlds stuff though:

That's odd, Godsworn Hunts and Mollogb Mob are the 2 widely known to be Made in China. Eye of the Nine "made in china" however, I haven't seen it yet. And most of the stuff I bought were from GW distributor in China.

Maybe the Chinese version is made in china, I only bought English version though.

Zarbag's Gitz is a Nightvault warband that dropped at the same time as the Eyes of the Nine:

The Godsworn Hunt came out later in January 2019:

Dunno then, I've only bought the English versions of the kits as I don't read Chinese.

Maybe I made a mistake about eyes of the nine? I know my god sworn hunts came from across the straight though, as I just bought one for conversion purposes a few weeks ago.

You probably got it tangled up, but It'd be interesting to see a made in china english version of it, for academic purpose.

Standard studio schemes also tend to be simpler to emulate. Where possible you'll see they avoid difficult colours (eg yellows) or blendings of colours etc.... Bold bright and clear colours tend t be popular.

I'm sure GW has good reasons for picking the studio color schemes, but I have a hard time believing this is it. AoS has Ironjaws, and 7th ed 40k featured Bad Moons and Iyanden as the factional poster boys in that edition. Had that happened after releasing Contrast, OK, but it's been before that when painting yellow was as hard as ever.

I like to think it has something to do with locating product on the shelf. I don't know the AoS scheme as well, but I did notice the white packaging compared to 40k's more black packaginh. But whatever store I go into if I want space marines, I go to the area with blue, Orks and their yellow, Chaos Space Marines Black and so on. Sure, there are things that buck this trend (Eldar, BA, DA and SW most notably) but the colors for most factions are different enough from each other that from across the store and without my glasses one I can easily go straight toward faction I am looking for base on color alone. The only kinda tricky one is Tau and Genestealers as they are both kinda white with the Tau being a brighter white with red while the GSC being more a gray with orange/brown.

I don't if this is actually what GW was going for, but it makes sense to me.

Alternative weapons for Elves still silly looking.

The Realm of Light looks, to me, very much like how Plato described Atlantis in The Critias. That would also tie in kind of nicely with the general “fantasy Mediterranean” theme of some of the models and would also lead to a fairly obvious story line for GW to pursue if they want to have more big, storyline moving, narrative arcs.

All that said, I do still think the new elves look incredibly silly with those helmets. Shades of the old “big hat” Chaos dwarves. Or maybe they’re secretly Jagermonsters.

But, assuming those heads are not inexorably molded into the bodies (as often seems to be the case with GW’s newer molding designs), I can see a ready opportunity for some of the after-market resin bits creators to come up with a solution that doesn’t look so silly...

Valete,

Some background info for Sons of Behemat, including a hint of new, even Gianter Giants. And a reminder of another Reveal on Saturday.

Oh boy if we are getting this sized Gargants....

Well looking at Mantics new Giants, if its of comparable size we'll be in for a treat.

A horribly expensive treat....but a treat!

At this point go get a store mannequin and dress it in a toga. The foot would be like the old foot of Mork....or is it Gork?

no-one's mentioned the bloke at the front of this group. I can't see the options for the stone on the current giant sprues:

It's a conversion using the old (OOP) arcane ruins set.

Hopefully the new kits are a similar size to the Mantic giant (even if that was accidentally made too big) I have 2 spare I could add in and they can be got for £20 each the GW kit will probably be £60+ possibly up to £100 like an Imperial Knight sure the old Aleguzzler is £40 as it is. A box set of 2 aleguzzlers with an extra accessory and parts sprue would be nice I know they have a lot of options already but more is always good and the poses can be a bit samey.

As mentioned above, its a conversion. And one done pretty much at the start of AOS, so I wouldn't look too heavily into it. The same with Brogg (which is who the pillar giant is meant to represent), since he was designed with only the old giant sprue in mind, hence why he's basically just a slightly converted gargant.

As mentioned, it is a conversion. The skull on Brodd's head comes from the Aleguzzler Gargant kit where it is used for the club. That particular pic was used for the Sons of Behemat warscroll in the Godbeasts book in 2016.

Here's the source of the pillar.

I am hoping there is a bit of variation in the Giants and def some female ones.

I'm liking what's been previewed. I'm hoping our new giant overlords are bigger than the current ale guzzler.

I'd like it to be on par with mantics, are there just going to be three types?

Will there be a special character?

Hopefully there'll be more info on Saturday? I think that's when the next gw presentation is.

I've waited an awful long Time for more Giants.

Stay tuned for answer to these questions and perhapse more. We'll know the answers soon TM

I’d say the new gargant types will be bigger.
From all the little cartoon type sketches they’ve shown, these things are huge.

Currently we have the normal gargant and the bonegrinder, the teaser mentioned 3 other types, so I’d bet we have a triple kit maybe for those.

One was hinted but no more than that.
If there is it’s likely to be thrown in with the new gargant kit as extras like with all the newer big models.
It would be odd not to have a special character after all the new multi kits that have one.
They would also need one to centre the fluff around as that’s what they’ve always done.

Saturday is the next teaser and their article states we will know more then.


I’m honestly expecting a triple kit with a character option thrown in.

Only weird thing would be seeing where the bonegrinder fits or if they will just retire the kit.
I can’t see the new ones being between that and a gargant for size in all honesty.

Seeing FW retires more and more AoS kits, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the plastic kit is a Bonegrinder replacement.

That’s what I’m thinking.
A lot of AoS has been phased out already for no reason.
Wouldn’t surprise me if “bonegrinder” was an option in this kit just so they could also gain sales on armies that can include them currently.

Either way, I’m hoping to grab one once they open again just to air on the side of caution.
Always planned to get one for my gitz but never really pulled the trigger.
That way if I prefer it then I’m fine, if the new kit looks better I can always just sell it.

I like the Sigmarines running like little girls

Well, if that illustration is anything to go by, the Gargant release will consist of 0 miniatures. Instead, GW will provide a costume for yourself to dress up as one. Should be pretty close in scale!

Unless those are Snotling Sigmarines. Now, I don't want to get my hopes up, but I for one would love Snotling Sigmarines.

Think most people were referring to the other picture which was posted. The one in the teaser from a few weeks back where the giant was holding a little boat with people in.

Maybe this is the start of AOS/ Warmaster, those little sigmarines are in scale. =D

Hopefully on Saturday there'll be pictures of models in stead of sketches. I can only live in hope I guess.

I’d be really happy if they made a plastic kit the size of the old ForgeWorld giant. Always liked that model, just not willing to pay that ForgeWorld premium tax.

I just hope they don’t make them all cartoony like they did with the trolls. The look of the current gargant kits is great, just upscale it.

Interesting the teaser pic with giants legs look so old world.
Would that be Ghur looking so generic old school?

Nah they will just make the legs and feet - probably all you need

Give us King Brodd, GW!!!!
