I honestly liked the first wave Elf cavalry, the spearmen, the archers, both casters, Elthrion. Teclis, cowmountain and cowhammers were rather meh. These kangaroos, on the other hand, reminded me why I hated aos in the first place, right when I was about to become rather ok with the whole nonsense it had. Sircerely, thank you, GW. Now off to sell my LoA for 300% msrp

GW are certainly listening to the community for some things...

That vampire lord does not bode well for soulblight. Good thing I decided to convert one out of the new Mephiston.

Apologists: "STOP SAYING THEY'RE KANGAROOS"
GW: "elves with australian accents lol"

GW also said they are not kangaroos ;-) So apologists 1, complainers: 0.

Also main reason for stop saying is because people are complaining how they can shoot from top of kangaroo when it's blindingly obvious even to kids that they don't move like a kangaroo. If people want to make silly comparisons better to be prepared to be corrected.

I'm a big fan of the new Vampire. I don't even mind the insane hair. The more subdued armor is a welcome change and at least the tactical rock is plastic, so some cutting can remove it.

I can't wait to see what else they have for that line. The Aelves on MIyazaki mounts? Not so much.

Not a single person will have been under any impression they were literally going to be called Kangaroos. If they were, they'd be getting called Joestrider Roobarbys or something.

The comments were that they looked like Kangaroos, then GW made a video rolling with the reaction.

I will certainly be looking to try modify the legs to be more Kangaroo-like. So keen for the reveals!

Getting them paired into the same position is probably all that's required, though I suspect that'll only work for 4/5.

Me likey very much! Emperor class inbound?????

Unlikely - the Imperator/Emperor had larger legs with enough room within that the toes are steps that allow marines to charge down them from a chapel within each leg.

But its going to be big, just not Imperator size - yet

The Adeptus Titanicus people already figured out what it's going to be ages ago

Yes and no.

We can be reasonably sure of its art based origin (especially with today’s tidbit).

And we of course know it’s a Titan.

But beyond that? Judging the scale, and therefore it’s roll in a Maniple is still up in the air.

I mean, I know they don't *really* look or move like a Kangaroo, but I will still call them Kangaroos because it's funny.

Clearly GW thinks it's funny also.

If you're not having fun, which I thought was the point, then I have no idea what to tell someone.

Oof. That kangaroo cavalry. No thanks.

New vamps look pretty dope, tho!

Yeah I'm not sure what it is with the vampire it feels so basic, yet dumb disney, exudes 0 menace and somehow shuts down any appeal from me. It's very rare a model is dropped for a faction I'm generally a fan of and it makes me just not even feel an urge to want it. If their intent was to make me not even like it enough to hate it, well done GW, 10 out of 10 this time.

The kit wasnt that expensive... I mena dragon prices were what? £20 ?

All the proof I need, who ever was on team WarRiders of the Roo, sound off, we have been proven correct.

I also kinda dig the underworlds Vampire they have shown. An additional conversion base for my Deldar.

I'm digging her.

She is kind thaw.

And that's all the death related puns I have for her.

My only complain are her fangs; otherwise I do like her.

She looks a lot like she cames from the Vampire Cost with that pose and rapiers

Marceline the Vampire Queen!

She's better than the first one but still feels like no passion was put into her. She doesn't jump out at me and I really love undead.

First one with these blades?

Yes please.

That's the main issue with Vampire sculpts always showing their fangs as they need to have their mouths wide open for such it never fits on calm faces but angry/shouting ones.

Oh boy, I love the bowgaroos and the Lord Catgent.
Can't wait to field an (almost) all cavalry LRL army and make funny noises for every unit...

The Vampires look solid to me. The blade girl appeals a bit more to my liking, but the mace one fits the theme pretty well.

I like this one. And her left hand and sword was one of the rumour engine pictures, wasn't it?

Looks like Murder Buckets might be getting a separate kit.

What are 'murder buckets'? A big part of me wants this to be Dark Mechanicus but I imagine it'll be their loyalist brothers

New Kill team box.

That’s a new flayed one. I suspect that will be the new Kill Team thing. And the front guy is a Cryptek.
