They do look weirdly similar to the ones Ungor archers have but are definitely not from that box.

Sadly it looks likely to be terrain, a bone and possibly one of the quivers from the Savage Orcs (though I don't think it matches the Savage Orc ones 100%).

My bad, stand down troops

Damn, didn't realize quite how big the new Radukar is.

Sort of relevant to AOS, even if its just a Warhammer World-style exclusive model. Combine her with the Underworlds warband, and you can almost get 15 unique StD (along with the start collecting)

A rather nice model indeed.
A good unit champion for the new chaos warriors.

A pity it will not be available proper,
and will probably cost an arm on ebay...

Looks really good, limited edition, one-place-in-the-world-only exclusives are pure cancer though.
Interesting that her face looks painted way better than the usual GW standard for those things, different painter, or eavy metal team was allowed to show off?

She looks very cool - shame very few will ever have the model

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/05/21/1-us-open-series-3-beautiful-locations-6-grand-tournaments-all-the-gaming-bliss/

She will be available at three US tournaments this Fall (Orlando, New Orleans and Austin) and at major Warhammer events in 2022.

"These two models will also be available at the Warhammer Store and Cafe in LA’s grand opening, as well as major Warhammer events in 2021 and 2022."

I'm down with event exclusive models, I think it is a cool collectors-style item. As long as there is no mechanical benefit to them vs a normal model in game.

And man do I love this one. It is wonderfully retro with so many details from past WoC kits but updated to modern quality. The shield in particular is a fantastic resculpt. And it's a female humanoid that's apropriately ugly, something shockingly difficult to find. Will happily pay ebay scalper price for that.

I don't know if it's so good that I would drive to LA for it though--THAT may be a price too high!

I'm counting on that Facebook loot group to come in handy. I've got a friend who lives in FL, but I doubt I can convince him to go all the way there to pick up one model :/

Fingers crossed they come to the UK scene too - and Oz and EU and all the other regions

Radukar the wolf is £23.50, €30, $35
Radukar's Court is £85, €110, $140 EDIT: £78.50, €100,

That's just crazy money for the court! the full game was £125

Crazy, yet in line with the indomitus character+special units sprues GW sells.

Thank you for the heads up, as I was waiting on the Vargskyr.

As for the price it is obscene and the final nail in the coffin for the Cursed City fiasco.

Yeah, sadly not surprised.
GW's having a laugh with its business model.

Bonus for one of the best chaos warriors I've seen, that they might as well not be selling.

After the Indomitus characters I don't think anyone's surprised.

Watch them be Temporarily Out Of Stock in a few days anyway.

GW sculptors really love women with the "I've just had brain surgery" half shaved head haircut don't they?

I mean, this one has kinda the excuse for that.

Well she's got a full head of hair one side and huge horn the other. It's not so much shaved, its a freaking horn

The older chaos knight kit is still excellent

That was not my point. Horseis are really good the heads are starting to be not okay and, yet again, my point was not that.

Okay, so Wight King on mount locked on SC! atm, is not a big problem; the kit has 20 Grave Guards, which on themselves are basically the price of the entire box, so price wise they are pretty much gifting you the Wight King.

I do get why would you want the Wigh King alone, but it is pretty much what already happens with my precious SC! Seraphon, and to a leser extend Fyreslayers: nobody ever buys the Carnosaur kit alone again when you can get everything else for free when buying it on the kit.

What happens here is the reverse, and there is a solution to that to: ask someone on your lgs if s/he wants to buy two or more Gravelords SC! and if they will trade you one or two Wight King.

Do note that Black Knights can still be build as Hexwraiths and that Grave Lords are good units, and right now is the best moment to get the mounted Wight Kings, when you can get them cheap, because you know they will get the usual GW overprice once they release him for free.

One thing I don't like about the new Chaos Warrior is that she has the recurrent Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks smirk face " `: ) ".

GW wants almost as much as I paid for Cursed City for just the bad guys from that box.

And it doesn't even come with Radukar.

Such a fething joke...

They really are hellbent on selling as few Cursed City sculpts as they can, huh?

It's frankly fascinating at this point.

Being required to take everything together as a single ball of points already shut down my desire for any of these models.

Just saw the preorders up on the Oz site, nice looking models but at that price, meh. $55AUD for the basic vampires, $210AUD for Radukar's court... makes my interest drain away. Especially after the Crimson Court was such good value.

I think all in all in this release I might maybe perhaps grab some Fell Bats, Dire Wolves and perhaps Zombies.

That's the nature of beast with discount boxes.

It's not like Cursed City felt like particularly good value to begin with, lol.

I wouldn't call Cursed City a "discount box".

I'd call it a disaster.

Time to criticize.

So I agree but I personally am even more annoyed because they put him behind a paywall with a bunch of stuff I actually want, but not the old sculpts. I wanted new Graveguard and Black Knights really badly because I want to play Deathrattle. I don't know man. They don't fit with the new Skeletons at all. It's just disappointing.

Are they? My FLGS had 27 requests for preorders today for those models. We had our jaws on the floor because we couldn't much less get 7 people to show up for games pre-covid era, let alone seeing that many preorders. And about half of the requests offered to pre-pay!

Jeez. I wasn't expecting as nice a price as the Blackstone cultists, but also didn't foresee something quite as insane as that.

Are any of us going to pay half the cost for JUST the wight king anyways?

Not until they make the Wight King actually worth taking.

I tried to build the Black Knights the other day and gosh that was just an awful kit. I refuse to touch the Grave Guard because IMO that's one of the kits that they really needed to upgrade.

So I'll probably sit on my Soulblight force for a few years and hope that GW finishes updating the range, fixes the rules for the Wight King, and doesn't have one new model in a box with two ancient kits.

I have no proof, but personally I think there is another wave coming al a Lumineth style.
