Where the hell were you people wanting a battletome when I had money and could have bought more of the launch boxes?!

There's a mistake in the article though, saying the Sentinels were in the launch boxes. It was the Dawnriders.

Recently I've just been buying t hem on the app for 16 bucks for armies I don't actually play.

Hopefully it's not mistake as in "sorry you　get dawnriders, not sentinels".

I can do useful 2k list with releases in article. Cavalry rather than archers? Gimps list hard. (plus i loathe painting any cavalry)

Seen worse. Granted, I'd hate to see someone try to use these, but they've got nothing on an actual 'd3,' a d100 (basically a golf ball with numbered divots) and a percentile die that is one d10 inside a larger, clear d10.

Good to know, thanks.

Giants before the end of the month, I hope. A few other odds and ends, hopefully we can 'catch up' on delayed releases and get back on track by November.

All I can think is you must have not seen many dice then. These aren't even the worst faction dice GW has put out if you are concerned about function. Let alone all the strange permutations of dice that exist.

I am planning on getting a set. They won't be used in dice pools certainly, but I could see rolling for Initiative, spell casting or important rolls only needed 1-2 dice for my Lumineth army. Also they make a good deterrent to an opponent annoying me with helmet and battle-cattle comments during a game as I can add a die each time to my pool.

I don't mind the breaking Lumineth into two pre-order periods. I am planning to get a pretty sizable amount to the point I doubt I will even have the first week models finished being built let alone primed before I get the second part. I also wasn't looking forward to paying for everything all at once, so it's kinda nice to have it broken up into chunks.

No models for me till Xmas and then January as it’s my bday and that’s when I can buy a load of models. (3 kids and one on the way puts paid to luxuries like plastic crack) but the battletome will be ordered next week

It appears as though Dawnriders and Sentinels are.coming based on the video. I am fine with either or both, since the way my list is shaping up, I am going to need two more squads of Wardens and a squad of Dawnriders and a squad of Sentinels. They can keep their Cows. I want traditional High Elves.

Using the battle report from last month as a guide I reckon if you took that army as it was then doubled up on the units (so another 1x sentinels, wardens, dawn riders, Stoneguard and the non named moontain) it would put at around 3000 points or there abouts

I'll be getting cow elves eventually and especially the big cow but it's the sentinels I need. If I can get them then I can get decent 2k army from what will be available next week and what I have even without cavalry(I have 2x5 anyway). Teclis, calthallar(for which I have count as model already), 20+10 warden, 20+10 sentinel, 5 dawnrider, spellportal(feels bit cheesy with teclis though....that's basically MW's to entire enemy army), twinstones and prismadic palisade. Plus battalion.

1990, haven't thought about relics. Syar. Need 30 sentinels, 10 wardens, teclis and endless spells. Maybe get the card set as well.

I like the dice. They’re clear and readable and sufficiently different that they could be used for wound counters or objective markers or a game round dial without getting accidentally picked up for a roll. Imma get a set, plus Eltharion.

Still waiting on sons of behemat here.


In regards to dice, look at the squig dice if you want terrible.
They look like crap, they are lumpy (massive impact on rolling) and insanely expensive for what they are.

Doesn’t help that they can’t even print them correctly as the colours on the teeth don’t even line up, so look horrible.

The fact they're made from bouncy ball material doesn't help either (squig dice)

Wouldn't surprise them coming in september as well. We know there's at least 1(unlikely to be 2) more waves of Lumineth september. That leaves 2 weeks. There's 2 40k codexes and tons of models in october so good luck fitting much else there. As sob are basically 1 kit plus book it's super easy to fit into 1 week anyway. So wouldn't surprise me: 5.9 lumineth wave 1, 12.9 lumineth wave 2, 19.9 something(warcry?), 26.9 sob and then october dedicated to 40k.

The audio bit on the weekly update confirms Lumineth as being a 2 week release. So next week we'll see previews of the rest - cavalry, a few more leaders and the rock/mountain elemental units - titan and warriors.

I can see them releasing Sons too - agreed its just one big kit that can be allied into any other army and also one Battletome. Simple easy and quick.

It also means that GW is moving forward and it would leave us only the Warcry release from early year previews getting out.

Well with GW they could put something between 2 waves of lumineth and not exactly break their word. GW has habit of saying something players take to mean X and in fact it's Y so I'm not 100% certain they will be 2 consecutive weeks.

But as even in worst case it's only 1 week between and I'll have plenty to paint from wave 1 won't be losing sleep either way. As it is they got enough in wave 1(assuming sentinels are indeed in wave 1 despite article spelling being bit odd) that I could wait for month or two lot easier than it was to wait SOB wave 3(which contained several key units for the army in competive sense...).

GW has already confirmed Lumineth for the next two weeks.

I think they'll do it over two weeks. Get it out the door and make a noise about it. Then it leaves the rest of the month for other things. I'd wager a shift to at least specialist games. We might get the Warcry Warband for DoK; or perhaps something for AT or AN. After that there's more 40K stuff, though October is going to be chock full of 40K between Marines and Necrons.

The DoK Warcry warband is in the new Warcry starter. The multiplayer expansion for Underworlds is due for September too.

And you are 100% sure gw isn't playing with words and the 2 weeks mean rest are announced 13.9? 2 weeks after wave 1 announced.

Wouldn't be first for gw

They'd just say "very soon" if that's what they meant

Golly, what a compelling case for their worth. Buying an expensive pack of dice that roll like carrots only to use 1-2 per game. How foolish I am. Please, spend away

I like them personally. Been using a bone set in that style for at least ten years now.

Someone likes a product that you do not. I do not see why you feel the need to be so toxic about it.

Model Focus

The first thing you’ll notice about Teclis and Celennar is that neither is riding the other!

Wait, there's no option for the Sphinx-thing to ride Teclis? Disappointing.

Teclis 130 euro, infantry 45, eltharion 33. Now i really don't care which week rest comes. Can't afford more before october anyway :lol:

Well infantry about what i expected. Teclis i wasn't so sure as not that familiar with big models and their prices

Source? That's Dominus Knight pricing. I know the new Teclis is big, but. . . wow. Feels like they are pricing this based on his in-game points more than the model (yes I know they do this anyway).

Eltharion is $40, Teclis $165, Sentinels and Wardens are $60.

Weird that no price for the Cathallar.

Not bothered too badly on the price for Teclis. He's a beefy model given the shots in the army book.
