My first thought was a bell. But nothing else in the model really fits our standard bell-armed enemies right now. A chalice fits far better


Of course it could be something else entirely and the angle is sending us on a massive red-herring hunt

Just so long as nobody expects me to cut a tree down.

A chalice facing downwards could always be interpreted as a pouring motion.

Call me crazy but could it be an eastern style signal flag/fan?

It looks like an eldar-ish sword with fire one it, could be high elf? I could see a high elf using a signal flag.

Bringing pic over for ease of visual reference.

It definitely seem to be a chalice, as it looks too 3D to be flat.

Sorry I’m not wording good.

Plunger. The sinks blocked.

Vampire Plumber?

Good way for a vampire to be invited into your home I suppose.

Wait…why is slap bass playing?

Also, apologies if the shared pic is mahoosive. Dunno if it’s my iPad or Dakka sorting it for me, but initial load has it really big.

Oooer.

Three goblins in a threnchcoat

Yes, clearly GW have made a vampire plumber.


(any news yet on Vampires in Blood Bowl? It still seems like BB fans consider every teaser in light that it might be Blood Bowl Vampires)

I want a Vamplumber now and will be disappointed and angry with GW no matter what the model ends up being.

Maybe it's Lady Malys with her power sword & fan /s

No chance because they do one for each of the Big 2.

I'd buy a vampire plumber.

Definitely looks like it's a blood knight inspired helmet.

Far be it from me to bemoan a cool vampire model, but how many are we at now?

*Radukar
*Radukar Ascended
*Ivya Volga
*Cado Ezechiar
*Belladamma Volga
*Lady Annika
*Kritza
*Generic Plastic Vampire Lord
*Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon
*Neferata
*Mannfred
*Lauka Vai
*Generic Vengorian lord

*Seven/eight from the Askurgan Trueblades
*Three on the Coven Throne
*Four from the Crimson Court (Underworlds)
*Five Blood Knights

PLUS the exclusive and now OOP Anasta Malkorion. And that's not counting the Ghoul Kings and Archregents, that are also types of vampires iirc

Yeah, I have a Soulblight army and even I don't need another Vampire model. I'd actually love a Wight/Necromancer-focused faction.

I wonder what scale the Karskin will be at. The Killteam models were pretty large compared to the rest of the imperial guard models

I need a Blood Knight styled one! Would have preferred a shield instead of the goblet, but c'est la vie.

Not compared to the recent Cadians and Krieg.

I like that Kasrkin art and I'm not against a Miniature of it, but I feel like it's a bit underwhelming for an idea? To me it's not a particularly nostalgic piece of art, or a unique design, or something that particularly seems overly worthwhile to focus on for a special edition.

Something more like a miniature based on a proper iconic John Blanche piece or a really classic beloved piece of artwork would have been so much better I think. It's a fairly typical Kasrkin in a slightly different pose than usual.

I mean, it's iconic enough for most of us to recognize by silhouette, soooo...

With AoS GW has latched heavily onto providing more leader models because they can do it in a one model drop and the leader has impact on the game in itself.

I think it has produced a game that has a strange setup where a good few armies have as many leaders if not more leaders in terms of variety than they have actual troop choices.

You see this a bit with 40K, but because almost all the armies are already pretty big to start with it doesn't feel as bad. You can see it a bit more with Genestealer Cults, but even they are pretty varied now and that's before you add in IG and Tyranid allies.


AoS feels it a lot more because many armies were cut down a LOT and some are new and still small. Fyreslayers are bonkers in that they've basically 2 or 3 model choices outside of leader and everything else is a leader model.



I get why GW do it and heck I like the soulblight leader models; and Soulblight was bloated on leaders because of its ties to Cursed City. But yeah it can feel strange when you want to see new troops and infantry and such and keep gettting the leader card

Oh, I know. My sarcasm tag wasn't large enough on my original comment

It looks like they're a head or so taller

Kasrkin get something extra in their food and boosters.

Man, now I realize how much we need some new Vostroyan releases.

No doubt. At the time the picture was an interesting deviation from artwork we got before it. That kind of thing sticks. My issue with it is that it's part of a series that shows the Average Joes of their respective armies. If you put him in the regular Kasrkin squad, he doesn't have much to single him out. He's not quite Necron Warrior level of identical, but the point is that he's nothing special. Selecting him or any other art from that series for a special miniature is kind of ironic.

For myself, my hope rests on the Vamplumber. I don't think I want to buy a Kasrkin for the price of ten. So I hope the AoS model ends up looking good and worth resubscribing for.

Does anyone know if there's a way to switch from a yearly to monthly subscription?

Last year I switched from monthly to yearly, but rather than just changing over when the next month's renewal time came they instead refunded the remainder of the last month and started the yearly sub immediately, so I sort of got out of sync with the model releases (still waiting for access to the year 2 mini despite being a yearly subscriber) and I'd like to try and get my sub back in sync with the mini release.

Don't want to cancel the yearly renewal and restart a monthly sub as I worry that might stop me getting the year 2 mini, but hoping to go monthly for one month and get back in sync with the mini release.

That's a tricky one as the mini was originally at the end of the year subscription and the 2nd years was at the beginning. Plus there's no assurances the mini will be at the same time every year, so moving it a month isn't a fool proof method. Anyone who was a n annual subscriber at year 2 mini launch got it by default I think? I'd raise it with customer support they might be able to sort this year for you, then you can cancel for a month and start again.
