Yep. Okay technically there's theoretical possibility nurgle/skavee redo or out of left field brand new faction but that's pushing. Especially as word article said was "hen we’ll reveal the next two factions to be updated for the latest edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.". That doesn't sound new faction

Hoping for good dual discount box though after lumineth/tzeentch those been missing. And good hero for khorne though probably just beefier melee guy with big axe.

A new priest for Khorne would be swell ! As far as unique characters, I don't know what Slannesh would need though !

Zombie dragon no longer available on GW US.

Good. It was awful.

New Zombie Dragon means Flesheaters would get an entirely new army basically because that's the backbone of their getting started set so I'd really hope it would mean new varghiests and ghoul models.


Unless its just a repack of course

Sc will be getting redone anyway. Something like archregent, 6 horror/flayer, 20 ghouls.

To be fair "entirely new army" means they just need to replace 2 kits. FEC only have the Horrors/Flayers and ghouls boxes.

I'm fully expecting rebox of a lot of things, so don't get too excited about certain things going 'no longer available'.

I'd guess that it's more a hint that SBGL are going to be one of the books revealed tomorrow, as we've already seen new box art for Blood Knights and a few other things.

Ehhh...

There's a better than zero chance that they might reveal a shiny new Zombie Dragon and/or Terrorgheist kit. Now that there exists the option for unridden zombie dragons+terrorgheists, they might pull a fast one and use this as an option for making the mounted versions look more dynamic and adding an "on foot" version for the Vampire Lord as well.

Watch it come back at a higher price point while they retire the FEC SC.

I think it's about GW missing out on some $.

Was it not a better value just to spend the extra $15 and get the entire FEC SC box from a third party?

It's still available on other sites...

'hat was never realistic cards as we knew next 2 were chaos(gw told thjt long time ago).


And as predicted it was just khorne and slaanesh books. Getting 3 revealed at once too much to ask.

The new ghoul things in Soul Blight were awful, guess I need another SC box before it's too late.

The scaly worms with teeth have some charm even if the sculpts are dated. They're still better than the pixar dragons from Stormcast. The problem is it costs 300$ in GWs monopoly money world to create a decent dragon.

You can get a Wizkids PVC dragon bigger and cheaper. Or a million other options.

Nah, the "S" dragons always looked horrid. Both in terms of looks and to build. Stormdrakes, Karazai and such at least actually look like dragons.

They're way too cutesy for Warhammer, even though the "S" dragons aren't very good I'd still take an ugly dragon over a plushy.

The original S-Dragon is almost 30 years old by now, don't judge it too harshly... other stuff from around that time has aged much worse.

The serpentine dragons were also a product of the fact that all metal and no plastic made them insanely expensive if they'd gone for heavier builds. But yeah they are very much sculpts of their time and age.

This


Was their best for a very long time. Honestly still a good kit though still leans on that whole "high backed armchair" saddle that I've never liked on dragons (seriously what person puts a high backed chair on a flying creature - its like putting a huge brake sail in the way)

I think some of the newer dragons (by Seb Perbett?) are better, but some have some serious overchonk going on, especially in the limbs. (I would like this better if it didn't look like it was screaming with the pain of elephantiasis) For some of the best GW dragons I'd probably have to think back to over a decade before I even heard of Games Workshop; before Nick Bibby's greenstuff allergy made him ascend into godmode* and left Trish Carden to crib (poorly) off his style for years and years.

Case in point, that last high elf dragon? A copy of Nick Bibby and Jes Goodwin's Dragon Masters dragon from 1987:

... but with Trish's typical 'crumpled brown paper wrinkles, Barney Gumble lips, and broken jaw' S-dragon head glued on.

I liked the older model. As soon as I saw it I thought 'I must own this someday', and I did. I saw the HE dragon and thought 'meh'. The older model has a much better sense of weight (despite being a much smaller mini) and motion; lithe and swooping. YMMV on the enormous fangs, I don't care for them much myself, but they're about the only con I have with the design.

* SERIOUSLY

And then there's Archon putting out proper HIPS dragons on a regular basis for peanuts.

Dark Elf black dragon was amazing. Seeing it in real like 3D its really one of GWs coolest and best balanced models, IMO.

Also the new Stormdrakes are really great sculpts. Its strange you dont see more of them in P&M threads.

I do like the big Stormcast character dragons.

Mini, cover and vanguard reveal for Khorne and Slaanesh:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/03/04/the-lord-of-hubris-punishes-foes-who-fall-for-his-perniciously-peacocking-provocations/


Imo both minis are pretty nice. Filling up niche both army didn't really have.
More importantly, both Vanguards are real good. You'd definitely want to buy at least two of those. Especially the Khorne one.

Love that slaanesh champion, definite must-buy for me.

Wasn't really GW's design though.

Forge World made a few neat dragon sculpts IMO during the period when they were supporting WHF.

Krondys and Karazai are the first dragons I've liked from GW. They look like dragons, rather than anemic serpents with dental issues.

But, good for Khorne and Slaanesh to get their books soon, lords know they need it.

Took the words out of my mouth. That was Weta's baby, GW just made the 3D printers go brrrr. Otherwise, that Smaug is pretty nice. Avoids the 'coated in mediterranean roof tiles' look that seems to be in vogue with mini sculptors, and the sweep of his jaws reminds me of Qianzhousaurus.

Still liking that Slaanesh champion better. Love the 'come at me bro' energy.
