Huh. I don't hate it. I like it more than the sludgeraker, but I'll pass. Great that it has options.

Think I’ll be adding at least one to my nascent Kruelboyz.

Wow, that birdy is awesome!

Going back to the story, what was the deal with the talking dead things? Kruleboy magic? Some form of necromancy? Or just hallucinations?

Uh, that's the same model, just from very far away

Looks like the same model, but with a shaman option. Unless thats the Mouth again.
You should keep the photo though. It shows more options

Nice! BTW, is that terrain piece on the Killaboss pic something we've seen before? Fits the tactical ruins on the Dominion heroes ...

Dont think the bird thing fits with orcs

Sorry all same model the focus trick GW do with their pics had me fooled for a second big minis though think the Killaboss looks better.

While I don't think the Kruelboyz in general do much for me compared to Orcs, that's a cracking model.

If we were the Stormcast Eternals, we’d be hoping to hear about something strong enough to take down Gobsprakk right about now.

The Stardrakes are insulted...

So the guy was right, it IS a dual-kit! Just like Gordrakk

It's excellent that they're making special character kits into dual-build generic HQ kits as well.

Shame the Sisters missed that boat. Twice.

Hmm. I wonder if you decide to build the Mouth of Mork will the kit provide the bitz to build the Killaboss on foot...

GW has been hitting it out of the park with AoS centerpiece models.

I don't know. Want to see a 360 of the model. There's something strange about the bird. Could be cool, but I find it hard to tell. The paint job isn't helping.

If new Sigmarines get their own dragon, chances are the cheap, fat, old dragon gets to add feeling obsolete to the list of grudges against the new lean, mean, money-printing machine.

Can't win 'em all. But consider, now that we have plastic Sisters we need something new to complain about.

I thought Gobsprakk's bird head looked familiar. Its the ice roc from that old animated Sinbad film. I wonder if a white color scheme would work...?

Also yeah, I can't believe Judith's floating chapel of death didn't have a generic option. Great SoB model, but not accessible to every order

It's in the video.

Grumpy chicken is adorable and I love it! Dudes on the back look ace as well, def my favorite model of the Kruleboyz by far.

What happened to the Exalted Chaos Champion? The Stormcast was meant to be released forever ago, but I thought the necron lord and chaos champion debuted at the same time. I guess I'll save money, since I only want one of the two made-to-order models.

Ok, the vulture looks cool, aside from the extra stuff on its back. Too much weight for a bird, even a giant one, and it just looks bad.

I still dislike the trend of flooding the able with enormous miniatures.

Do you mean Helga Clovenhorn who was an exclusive model for opening of the Warhammer Store & Café in Los Angeles? I guess they made the decision to release Dacian Anvil (who I can't find when or if he was previously released) and Hasmoteph the Resplendent instead.

Yeah, that's the one. Dacian was set to debut years back, but maybe Covid messed that up? Glad that people who like him have the chance to pick him up.

I stared at the Vulcha too long and now I like it. I wonder if it would work well with an ogor on his back...? Or maybe ridden by one of those chaos people that flay themselves.

GW has always had a long love of putting high backed armchairs on big monsters. I don't know why its about the only asthetic they've had in the years that I've never liked. This one isn't too bad though at least its not stupidly high as osme of those elf ones; and its mostly banners rather than wide wood; but still darn it GW stop with the armchairs


Otherwise awesome looking model. I'm loving seeing GW giving orruks and orks something new and fresh that isn't justa reshash of what they had before

Oh, Sweet Changer, I've have got to find a way to work that bird into a Tzeentch army.

Pretty sure that Dacian was going to be a Store Opening model alongside of Ripper Jackson.

They previewed Dacian two and a half months before they announced Ripper as a Store Opening model so I don't see why Dacian wasn't mentioned in the same article alongside her if he was meant to be a Store Opening model. Was there any other events in 2020 that were canceled that would have normally had an exclusive model (e.g., Warhammer Fest) that were not revealed?

No, but the "reset" for Store Opening models or Store Anniversary models is in July/August.

Also worth mentioning:
Catachan Colonel was meant to be a Store Anniversary model...and the 2020 models might as well not exist for many folks.

I can't tell if Gobsprakk's ears are his own. They seem a bit odd and I wouldn't put it past him to nail a powerful wizard's ears to his head so he can listen to Mork better
