I actually just watched a documentary on knight armor. It's really cool to see the design elements of the historical knight armor on the Blood Knights, just made fancy and red.

I think different paint schemes will make the Blood Knights look even better. I love them. I also love the move from regular dark horses to skeletal horses. That's a nice touch and an upgrade IMO.

The skeletons all look fantastic. I wonder how many will be in a box? 10 would be my guess.

Thrilled with the Sisters stuff. I think this still isn't even half of the stuff that they're going to get. The stained glass image alludes to more melee units and...

potentially a sisters of battle bomber?

So, I was curious about the binary in the Ad Mech video (at 1:02). So I stuck it in a converter

Oh, well that's good! Thanks for doing that! If they are still on their 'releases every other week' thing, then it'll probably be mid april, but if things speed up, it might be the first week of april, right after Cursed City

I'm just now realising that one of the Seraphim has a mace.
That's an illegal loadout GW, everyone knows Seraphim Superiors can only use a Power Sword

The 'releases every other week' thing was only for January and February. Right now it's a 'release if we have something we can release' sort of thing.

I'm just incredibly disappointed and a bit worried about the Ork releases, despite really liking the model.

We get at least one cool new plastic model.

Did we get the plastic deffkoptas that have been unavailable since AOBR? No.
Did we get plastic tankbustas? No.
Did we get plastic lootas? No.
Did we get a plastic weirboy? No.

The basic, core army stuff that should be getting produced in plastic, that ork players would order en masse, did not get produced.

Instead, we get a (very cool) squig-riding ork.

And we get told that Beast Snaggas, which haven't been mentioned before, are the biggest and toughest in any clan they are in. Which contradicts fluff since 3rd edition that orks grow from boys, to skarboys, to nobs, to Warbosses. We get told that clans that are obsessed with vehicles, like the Evil Suns, have guys who prefer to ride squigs. Not just any guys, but the biggest ones. We've been told, since at least 2nd edition, that Orks have an innate understanding of technology, and, since at least 3rd edition, that as their tribe grows, they develop that technology forward, abandoning a lot of primitive stuff and developing vehicles and guns, etc. This has been a major facet of GW lore from an entire series (The Beast Arises). We learn that Feral Orks, which have been a thing since the 3rd edition Codex, aren't this phase that isolated ork klans go through, but are, in fact, the biggest and toughest orks.

I may be over-reacting, but it sounds so much like the Ork version of Primaris Marines. "We don't want to develop the current range any longer, despite it being very popular and long-lived, with huge amounts of compatibility and cross-modeling potential. So here are entirely new models, in a slightly different scale and not easily compatible. This subfaction has always existed, but just now showed up, and is superior, stat-wise, to your entire old faction. We aren't retiring that old faction, but, guess what? We aren't doing anything more to support it. Enjoy!"


Maybe I am wrong entirely. I do like the model!

Well at least two have obvious breasts, the other I can't really tell and that's part of what bothers me about them. Its fine that there are female blood knights, but why are the males ones so wimpy looking? Why is the Vampire Lords so frail looking? The existing Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon and Manfred are both solidly built; look at there arms then look at the new ones. The proportions just seem off to me, the zombies and skeletons also seem to thin and to tall. Other than that the nightmares are to heavily armored for my taste, I've seen conversions on Dreadblade Harrows with Black Knight barding that I'd prefer. I'm also not feeling the short chunky lances either.

Finally, what's with the vampire on the cover? The first thing that came to mind was Elric or Tom Hiddleston, it doesn't look menacing at all.

I only see 1 that's definitely female and 2 that just look androgynous, but I generally agree with you that the male / androgynous ones look too wimpy. I hope there's a helmeted head to put on the obviously-female one as I'm not a fan of her face or the "trolls doll" hair style.

In general that armour style suits models that have a bit more beef to them, otherwise the person gets lost in the armour plates.

Not a fan of the new female vampire lord, and I'm gutted that I missed the opportunity to get an Isabella von Carstein model now that they're all out of stock.

The new skeletons look okay, but I preferred the more regimented look of the old ones, are they culling the old ones or are we going to be able to buy both?

The new zombies look okay, but I'll have to see them in a large unit, I worry some of the more unique aspects will look trash in a big unit if there's not enough variability in how they can be assembled.

So, this unit of Squig riding Orks. Do you think anyone would mind if I pull out my old 3rd edition Feral Ork Boar Boyz, or are the pig mounts too silly?

Nice catch on the stained glass. A new melee and aerial unit of some kind.... So maybe a Sister troop choice armed with bolt pistols + chainswords and power swords? That would pretty cool. Some sort of air support to fill the hole in the armies options. I think the sister tanks looks really nice and is appropriate for them to have. Also with a new codex inbound with new rules and points costs the Exorcist might not be a no brainer choice to take over the Castigator.

I believe that they are going for a gaunt and lithe aspect for their vampires with a few notable exception like some special character like that vampire with the giant mace in Dire Chasm band,

Why is the Vampire Lords so frail looking?

Isn't the lord a woman?

Also notice in the background there's a Pennant like the Zephyrim would carry, but being carried by sisters on foot without jump packs. There's the Seraphim with a Mace, and also the Paragon Warsuit that's wielding a bolt pistol in her actual hand. The top 3 stained glass windows have types of weapons, the last one being bombs, which is very strange! I can only hope for a flier of some kind, since Sisters are one of the few factions that don't have one at all.

One of the issues that I hope gets tackled is how competitive so many options are in the Heavy Support slot for Sisters of Battle. Retributors are at the top with the buff to melta guns, with exorcists still being powerful for their range. Mortifiers are still quite good, and now we have the Castigator, which I would be surprised if it wasn't a Heavy Support.

We need competitive options in other slots, or enough balancing that any of the options are viable, instead of one standing above the rest.

None of the Underworlds warband looked particularly gaunt. You had Price "looking at my hand" Duvalle, the muscly winged dude and the dude with the mace, none of which were terribly gaunt or lithe.

Wait, so the new Vampire Lord is female? Then the cover and miniature make a lot more sense then. So they were going for a Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" kind of vibe. Now I have to question why the two blood knights have breast armor and not the "female" lord model. They should have gone all or none. The lords face is not terrible but how they decided to place bats in her hair rather than go with the cover image is beyond me. I mean it must have gone threw revisions and approvals, and they still ended up with that.

The new skeletons look like something that Rackham would have released. Not bad just not what's the usually GW design aesthetic. Also they look like skirmishers not a military unit marching into battle like the old ones. I bought another two boxes of old skeletons after watching the previews today, I do like my skellies to be showing a bit more bone.

I'm glad we got new Zombies, I just hope I can mix them in with my many Mantic Zombies and now have it look off.

Those Blood Knights better land between $60-$70. If they price them at $100 they should not be forgiven for that bs.

Also, the skeletons look really cool, but are they really a mono-pose 6 man box? If thats the case YAWN.

The more im looking at them the more they look mono-pose. They all have way too dynamic poses, no way Id want to build a whole block of 40 out of them. Also why 6?

If you can't tell im really not a fan of mono-pose infantry. Dynamic repetition looks really wacky to me, especially in big infantry blocks where 8 models are doing the same expressive pose.

I count 7 poses, and a lot of times they don't show you the full contents of the box right off the bat. We won't know the full number until we get closer to release. It's probably more likely to be 10 models with options for shields, spears, and swords, etc.

When they make these early posts, they take the best looking models and show a lot of the same pictures of those few. Later on we'll have a clearer idea. Bit silly to judge the box before we even know what the box has in it.

It's kinda hard to say what Blood Knights will cost as Chaos Varanguard are $100, and the resin version have been $100 for years. Then again 5 Blissbarb Seekers are only $65.
The skeletons are most likely going to be mono-pose with arm options like the Myrmidesh Painbringers, they'll probably come 10 to a box though..

As far as blood knight costs, go... eh. I don't think it'll be a nice one. Somewhere between Blissbarb Seekers and Varanguard, unfortunately. I'd love it to be along the lines of Chaos Knights, but just don't see that happening.

Some might. GW will make new scales and rules incompatible, but stand in should be OK with most people who get it. Some won’t. Don’t play with those people, and you should be good to go.

See above about orks getting primarisized. Similar theme here. I for one never considered Sisters to be a standalone marine equivalent. Somehow the grim dark got a whole lot brighter after the Ao$ ification of 40K with 8th edition. Yuck. GW is Nurgle selling candy.

I wish you were wrong but I fear your right. GW seems to be focusing on NEW units to maximize sales. While replacing aged models is likely to see less of a return for them.

Getting in my way back machine with Mr Peabody I can say the knights came out at $75 when they were brand new. They were intensely over costed cash wise back then, and only went higher to the $100 mark US when they went into finecast, I can't tell you why as it made no sense. Now they should go down some however considering how off the wall GW prices can be I could see them putting them out for $150 US just to say " Hey now they are better and plastic so obviously worth more than old sculpts in finecast, its a steal ! " Though I would like to see them closer to the $ 60 - 70 range but I have they ever lowered a box price while keeping the contents the same ?

For vampires only time I saw that really was black knights. When their plastic kit came out they were much cheaper than picking up the pewter ones. However you couldn't buy them in boxes of set numbers you could only get them in single blisters.

What are the Snake Bites.. Or in the Ork language, Snake Snagga clan full of again?

As far as I can tell it's basically the Feral Ork/Snake Biter equivalent to Freebootas, and the entire tale is being told in universe by an Ork that is biased about being part of this sort of clan that has shunned technology for Squiggoths and the like. The rest.. Well it's GW. The issues with them not replacing things as needed is a probable worry, but I'm not sure this is Primorkification in progress. Just finally giving some mainline stuff towards Snakebite type representation.

The time of the ork is over the time of the Primiriork has begun.

Man, if they make a plastic Squigoth model I will squeal in happiness. Especially if it fits the scale of a lot of my old-school conversions. I just kinda hope the squig riders can have a pistol.

Why were we discussing for ages what the sisters tank was gonna be when we’d seen it in that stain glass image ages ago

Looks like the Beast snagga tease has got a few more units in there. There's a Painboy, a Squig drawn chariot, two legged Squig cavalry with extra head armour, and new Boss with a squig turret. And while it could be artistic licence, there are (slightly)more feral looking Boyz on the Snagga half.

It also looks like it's using a shield with the mace, unless it's just my eyes going.

Because that stained glass image is a new one, the one in the mechsuit reveal video was different.

I like the Sisters tank as its in tune with their other vehicles, looks like a tank, has lots of cool Shrine elements - especially compared to the new Baby carrier mech suits which I really dislike.

The tank would also work nicely as base for conversions for some Marine factions like the Black Templars
