GW house style just zombies would be killer, I'm sure they could do a ton with details, and even customization if they put their minds to it, and really just blow their competitors out of the water in terms of quality, style and popularity.

Here ya go buddy. Now go, and kill no more.

Urge to kill only slightly abated...

What is the Redemptionists box if not just a box of Ministorum Priests waiting to be converted?

**tneva82**

Yeah those are insta priests for sob if you need one

**GaroRobe**

We do have an actual priest coming, based off the previous Christmas rumor engines. Something in line with BSF's Thaddeus and the dead dude on Illuminor S' base. Though you can't have too many priests

I dunno man. As much as I'd love to see that, it could just be part of the Red kit.

Has anyone ever actually painted those things in a way that's like "ahh, yeah, no, that's what those protrusions were meant to be all along, I get it now, makes total sense"? Because I deadass have never.

Back when I had my Death Guard I painted those protrusions on the Poxwalkers like Cordyceps fungus - you know, the zombie fungus that grows out of dead insects in freaky protrusions....

**Kid_Kyoto**

Always been a bit fond of the Mantic zombies myself.

**Danny76**

Yeah, up to now they’ve certainly been a good shout.
Cheap but still look good.

Not for me, they have too many unique looking pieces, in a big horde they’ll stand out every bird head or shovel etc.

Mantic and GWs both fit the mass horde where no one really jumps out at you. GW just doesn’t have good looking ones compared.
Hopefully that all changes, but for me it’s gonna be how likely the possibility of removing roots are it seems.. again it makes them stand out if every 5 or 10 has that same angled root coming from the same place. We will see in that..

**Voss**

Cursed City got another article today about its warscrolls (for everything but the swarms, I think? I'm not in the mood to translate AoS namification signators into simple English names.)

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/03/19/you-can-use-all-of-the-cursed-city-models-in-warhammer-age-of-sigmar/

Makes me hope we'll see a release date announced either tomorrow or Sunday.

**hotsauceman1**

Im always scared of using 3rd party minis because what if, one day, i want to play it in an official GW tournament?

**Danny76**

I don’t think I ever will so not too worried about it.
At most if fantasy came back I’d have to get 120 zombies and 40 GG. And maybe 30 ghouls.
That’s all Mantic.

But I’m probably fine as a) I won’t be doing their tournaments 99% sure and b) fantasy isn’t really likely to get tournaments for OW I wouldn’t think anyway. And who knows how much of armies will still be usable - though undead are hardly time sensitive there..

If you are ever gripped by sudden bout of madness it's best to sit down, count to ten, and wait for it to pass. Why *would* you ever want to play in an official GW tournament? Besides, GW is all about changing meta every edition, for all you know zombies will be unusable in competitive gameplay at that point. In fact, buying any GW models is a gamble, because GW might make their rules trash in a year...

**GaroRobe**

Was there any "one day till reveal" teaser or was yesterday's Redemptionist the last one?

**JSG**

Nope. Would probably just be an Ossiarch though.

There was not one, and there should have been. Facebook+Instagram went down for awhile today so that likely affected it, which kinda sucks.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Mostly wanting to see what the Priest is holding in his right hand. Because it really does look like a flail made from flamers.

**Tiberius501**

Just an hour to go lads and lasses.

**Kanluwen**

Don't forget that the preview starts at the hour, the time before is just prepping/recap.

**Danny76**

Almost looks like a floating servitor like buddy and maybe not even in his hand. But I don’t know what he’d have with him if so.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Remembered my big teevee has interwebtubes on it, so watching in style!

**Ghaz**

It's starting!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Mmmm! Undead!!!!!

I’m in love. Simply stunning stuff. Except the Vampire on foot, which remains a bit derpy.

**Kanluwen**

Good lord, that's a hell of a start.

**Sotahullu**

New deathrattle?

**Voss**

Jumping right in with good stuff.
Zombies
New skeletons
Fell bats
Blood knights (eh... but I think some of that is the paint job- though the horses are great)
Vampire lords previously seen

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Yup. And Zombies, Fellbats and Bloodknights.

**DaveC**

So good glad the new Skeletons are in the CC style (even if I have 30 the current ones to paint that I probably never will now) and the Zombies look good the roots aren't overdone.

**zedmeister**

Pretty much vampire counts. Nice looking models

**Overread**

Vampires are coming way sooner than I thought they would!! And some great updates in there- Bloodknights, new bats, new zombies!

**H.B.M.C.**

Plastic Blood Knights.

Marking this down:

AUD$165

This is the current price of Blood Knights. Will fully plastic ones be more expensive than that.
