There's the terrain announcement plus the missing Orc Shaman and some more Dwarves - going to be expensive!

Miners box coming with four carts is ludicrous but also great.

It's the same as it always was, except they get rules and their own bases now. I'm more wondering where transfers go on those tiny dwarfs.

But I guess I'll find out, need me some Miners.

That Orc shaman is also super cool but I don't get what the crab trophies have to do with calling trolls.

LOL, $80.

Fortified Manor is a STEAL at $118.

Its a nice river troll themed throphy, and perhaps the trolls really like the smell of rotten crab claw.
Anyway, it must have been a huge crab, looks like the classic daemonette claws.

A dude at my FLGS bought one a few years ago for over $400...

They are not currently having a good time

Hopefully getting replaced with much better models?

Good to see now AOS 4 is out that we seem to back to a better pace of releases.

The forsaken looked silly but they had some really nice heads and arms 🥲

Well it says in the article there are no new model releases. So what you see is what you get

nice that they're clearly delineating what the model releases will be. i don't think they did that with the prior releases? or maybe i missed it

WARPFIRE DRAGON!!

The only thing that caught my eye so far. And those marauders keep lingering around like a bad smell.

The only reason those Marauders are there is because of the insanity of the studio split internally - which clearly leads to some bonkers choices right now.

Thankfully if OW does well and keeps doing well then in 10 or so years we might get new replacement marauders

Don't even play WoC and have no intention of doing so but I'm going to finally get the Warpfire Dragon.

I was not expecting the Skin Wolves returning.

Warpfire Dragon is a must for me.

I never understood how these were chaos in the first place. How did they not end up a vampire unit?

Wow that's quite the range! Weird to not see the Forsaken, but already have mine so I'm good!

Love the made to order too, Daemon Prince and Spawn will be on my want list for sure! But I wonder what sorcerer it will be as there are no picture of him.

Not much else I will need for my army, pretty much have everything I can want already, but so glad to see them all back. Love the regular sorcerer on horse and might want that one, and maybe some chaos Ogres and Trolls down the road!

The FW addition are very nice too, wasn't expecting that. Didn't even remember that dragon, but it's a nice one. And that Giant spawn is great too!

Gaulrauch as the special character is cool, and wonder who the other one might be. It cannot be any Archaon models, and timeline-wise I don't know if Arbaal or Egrimm were around, but I'd really love to see Egrimm back as a model!

Original Vampires in OW weren't that wolfy in the first place. They had undead wolves and that was about it; but goblins were also riding around on wolves.

Age of Sigmar has gone FAR more into the wolf/feralbat design elements and I would be more surprised if we don't see werewolves appear for the Soulblight.

Never liked those vampire/werewolves hybrids from AoS. As to werewolves proper, there is a one in Underworlds already.

Like the classic Daemon Princes. I also really like the Skinwolves, great minis.

I'd never seen the dragon before but that is a belter.

Some of the best metals and some... heck, most of the worst plastics of late WHFB.

It is funny how so much of their design efforts have gone into refreshing their Chaos range, but they can't use any of that and are trying to resell the crappy old models.

Well jokes on them, I've already bought several boxes of their ridiculously overpriced new Chaos Warriors and Chaos Legionnaires to convert for this game... wait, that joke's not on them.

Seconded, the Forsaken were like a whole kit version of the possession/mutation sprue they put in the CSM and Warriors boxes for such a short few years before getting rid of it. So much use for possessed marines. Am I not remembering correctly or did the Forsaken get squatted even before the End Times? They remind me of the Blood Angels Tactical Squad kit in terms of plastic kits people forget ever existed due to being around for only a few years.

Because the curse is strictly carried by Norse bloodlines due to living in the Chaos Wastes.

The problem is the posing of the new models is based on them being on round skirmish bases so many of them may not play well on those bases anyway either not looking right in ranked formation or not being physically able to fit. GW have also embiggened the squares though is this so people can use AoS models or just because going forward they want the ability to scale creep new model lines, probably the latter. I personally prefer the menacing wall of warriors just marching forward.

I will say though I like the classic Chaos Warriors the new ones are just slightly bigger with more modern design but still very similar and "dynamic" poses and lack of ease in terms of interchangeable parts.

While a lot of people don't like the "old" models I think they had a much better design ethos in terms of kitbashing and interchangeable parts and even Zoomers raised on TW:WH seem to appreciate them. Not everything new is better. The Orcs in particularly have a real charm compared to their AoS or new 40k models. Where I think there are some problems are the Dwarf infantry which suffer from a lot of the worst of both worlds in terms of early CAD design, the hand sculpted metal dwarves from way back seem to be very popular even with Zoomers.And the skeleton infantry have a certain charm (And the skulls sprue can solve their heads being oversized) though the skeleton cavalry are just pretty bad, the horses skeletons just aren't good enough and never were, even at the time they first released, they are and always have been bad models.

I think GW misses a lot in only using computer design. There was a transition period where they hand-sculpted some things and then used scanners to import that into the digital pipeline but that seems to have been merely because some of the old sculptors were still learning rather than an appreciation for certain things be better and faster sculpted by hand. The last refuseniks were sent to Forge World where they did amazing things. I wish they still did that with things like faces and certain organic things they seem to be unable to do well like energy bolts, tree bark, fur etc.

GW, could, of course, appease everyone by simply not charging so much for molds they have well got their money's worth from.

I am the odd one out then, I really like the plastic Chaos Knights, Hounds and Chaos Warriors from that era. I love how the Chaos Warriors look all ranked up - really intimidating imo!

I have a unit of 12, and would have gotten another 12 or so, but buying 32 for a high price is a bit more than I want. Wish they'd release the boxes with fewer minis for a more reasonable price rather than just the huge amount for a high price, even if the price-per-mini is alright.

The metals though - I LOVE that metal Chaos Lord with the tentacle arm holding the shield. He's got such a wonderful sense of menace, and I missed out on getting him years ago.
