To each their own. For me though, the Lumineth range just keeps going from bad to worse.

Honestly, it's the leaked model that finally made me stop and consider to do a Lumineth army in the future. I just... like it for some reason.

I fricking love these. Boiiiing!

First it was the Battle Cattle, now its the Combat Kangaroos? Glad to see that the Lumineth are still channelling the AoS strangeness just as much as the High Elf nostalgia.

What is that, a sword version at the top?

Oh... My... Sigmar...

I really wondered about horse archers for Lumineth but... kangaroos?

For someone reason I like it? I need sanity check.

Charging Australians masses of dosh is evidently no longer enough for GW, now they're appropriating our Kangaroos

Vampires, yup.

It would have been better if the archer was in the pouch.

Oh that looks cool!

Spoiler:

And I want those too!!

But I was more thinking of the current Deamonettes/hellstrider riders. They've a sit-astride pose right now and I do have 6 or so spare deamons (every time you build a seeker chariot you end up with 2 spare riders from the kit). Depends how GW does the mount and saddle really - Deathriders for Ossiarchs have an odd design in that the pelvis of the rider is part of the saddle so the legs and body stick into that instead of having a fully separate rider.

It mostly bothers me that it _isn't_ the worst thing in the Lumineth range.
Its almost reasonable, tame and normal.

I love that Lumineth are a core of old school high elves (speermen, archers, med/heavy cav) layered with pretty out there stuff. These look awesome. I really like that they didn't go with your typical/classic magical creatures or more classically macho wolves and lions/big cats, etc. I am really looking forward to what else we will get for the wind temple.

Please no Vampires GW. My wallet is already dead.

Some are mentioning the vampire could be photoshoped, could be, we just have to wait and see how GW handles the potato pictures.

Could be. I'd give the creator props, because Soulblight Gravelords sounds exactly like a GW name.

Time for this then.
Slightly clearer pic.

Needs a headswap, but otherwise i love this to bits! I don't know why, but it just screams out Miyazaki fanciful rediculousness that makes me happy. Love the motion in the sleeves and robes

That vampire is cool too. way better than the old WHFB vampires. Need to see the rest of the line

Tactical rock? Check.
Quadruple-barrelled name? Check.

And bat-hair!

And I thought they smelled bad on the outside

There’s a joke about catching bats in your hair here somewhere

Yeah, not sold.
The bits and bobs in the rumour engine put this to shame.

If it weren't for the rock and the hair, it'd be a pretty decent model, though I'm not sure why she stole Sauron's mace from the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring film.

Do you think the bats are flying in her hair? Or are part of her hair, like Vampire Medusa?

Multiple bats seem to be on the same hair strand, but the bloodwrack medusae had a billion snakes coming out of everywhere, so who knows.

Also, do you think the tri-string archers mock the Taun-Tauns for their measly one string bows?

They're probably just envious of bows that can actually work with the laws of physics, instead of extra strings that make it harder to draw, and either foul up the shot and/or snap forward late and contribute nothing to the arrow.

Interesting face on the Vampire. Almost Tau like.

High elf Taun-taun is amazing, I want all of them.

Vamp also looks cool, I like the old school gothic plate vibes going on.

Soulblight army release isn't a surprise to anyone I imagine, but it is certainly welcome. That will round out the Death lineup quite nicely, looking forward to seeing what allegiance abilities are in store. But in other news...

fething kangaroos!! Holy gak it's elf longbowmen on fething kangaroo gazelle things! I never knew how perfect a unit design that was until now!

I would bet money it isn't. Simply because if someone was going to photoshop a new vampire lord that isn't what they would make it look like. No one is that good at replicating GWs penchant for excelling sculpting and 'interesting' design choices.

Of course as someone who like fantasy moving further and further from the D&D I got bored with, I like them. I am even more interested to see what the full models of the teaser stuff where show on the other Lumineth stuff.

At the same time, I am feeling the slight concern that my Lumineth army is going to be like my Primaris army where the model collection grows faster than I want to keep up with. Nothing concrete about it yet. Just a concern. And unlike my Primaris, I lack the confedence in painting my Lumineth to the level I want them so they are taking way longer than my Primairs. So much so that even with less than half the speed in which space marine stuff comes out I don't think I will keep up on my Lumineth collection. Maybe as I finish models for my Lumineth and figure things out that will be less of a concern.

Also, nothing says that Lumineth are going to be Stormcast Enternals 2.0 in terms of model releases. Maybe this bit will get the faction to more rounded level and get moved to the back burner and let all the other factions get their second wave out before coming back to them. Just the same, I don't want to have to deal with why does Lumineth/aelves get all the releases like I do with Primaris. That becomes very tiring, very quickly for someone who doesn't control the number of releases but does like the models.

Apologies for the mini-rant.

I might buy it just for the principle of a female (vampire, no less) in plate without boob cups. THAT is a breath of fresh air.
