Well I was going to splurge on a bunch of stuf this month. But looks like i'm going to have to save up!! Got to fill up the holes in my collection.

I will get lots of stuff from this release. Not fooling around anymore.

A lot of the expected (and welcome) plastic kits are returning.

Looks like Marauder Ogres (as "Imperial Ogres") are also returning! GREAT ogres, second only to Jes Goodwin's C23 Ogres IMO.

Very glad I paid for 6th ed infantry and a metal war wagon now. Bit disappointed about the 6th ed knights returning tho

ok, the only models not previously available are the Ulrik Priests and Teutogen Guard and the War Wagon, with the wagon being the only model I don't have so depends on the price

Cutting the Altar from the list in favour of AoS for "fluff reasons" and bringing them back for "Nuln and Knights" now doesn't really make any sense but whatever

the rest isn't really exciting, Mortheim/Militia is good to be back with the 8th Edi core infantry instead of the 5th/6th Edi one (like with O&G) so the few infantry needed can be done from that kit

and the Battalion Box, like no real reason to use a lot of infantry anyway with that army list, but with the tank in the box it doesn't even make sense to buy it twice and try to get infantry on the table

Mostly happy to see the archers returning. Bought a single set of almost every Empire kit before they disappeared to make Mordheim and other warbands, and it's the archers set I've enjoyed the most (and ran out many bits from first; they have some very nice, more fine swords and daggers on those sprues).

From the entire reveal stream, the only disappointment was the Empire war wagon...

Wish they'd just get a Land Ship out the door, something to rival the Tomb King, howdah dragon thingy. Big, shiny, plastic a centrepiece with a 'wow' factor..

Alas, 'tis not to be. Can't wait to plan and build an Empire army though, happy days.

Very excited for this release, getting lots here.

Having seen the preview theres a lot more that I want to get than I thought I needed to finish my empire army.
New war wagon seems like a good reason to buy a second one.
The milita / archer kit I'll buy enough to make at least two units.
And teutogen guard are a unit I never thought I'd own, the ebay prices have always been crazy.

To be fair, the Land Ship was resin and we haven't seen them making FW kits in plastic outside of the Horus Heresy. The War Altar and Griffons are both decent centerpieces

But fingers crossed they release the Land Ship in the next wave

If they released a Land Ship I would hope they redid it in plastic. The fit on the resin one was 'not great' and it was a bit obnoxiously large.

Personally I'm hyped at getting the 6th edition General on Griffon as well and the 4th edition Hero on Pegasus! Imperial Ogres might also be worth a look!

Really was hyped at the War Wagon too, but thought it would have been a general release and not a made-to-order model. And being resin also is a bit of a bummer (think that's the first "remastered in resin" piece that's going made-to-order?). They went through all the trouble of making new horses for it, and a random engineer model with it for all of that to be limited release. An odd choice.

They did it with Trygon, Valkyrie, Baneblade and DKoK for 40k. But their WHFB portfolio was never that extensive.

Or just say Elspeth was active at this point and use her lovely model on a dragon

Did I miss where they said they’d release the 6th Ed and 4th Ed kits?

It was in the stream reveal show, but are not shown in the related article on community for some reason. They will be part of the made to order models, so not patt of the permanent range.

Wow, thanks Skywave, well I just went from mostly disappointed to very interested.

Did they say if these two are metal? I can't watch it with sound right now.

Yes from what they says, all the stuff coming back for Empire like characters and old models will be metal including those two! The only exception (that I can think of) is for the remastered War Wagon which will be Forgewold resin (and potentially any new sculpt released later too from past release experience).

Frydaal The Chainmaker

Cool, she's going on a round to lead some Darkoath.

Thanks man, adding these both to the list of kits to buy...my list is growing long!

Darn it GW I'm trying NOT to start a new army and you keep releasing these awesome STD models

Hopefully Galrauch comes alongside Frydaal so I don't have to pay ridiculous ebay prices for him.

I'm a little sad we got a knightly orders arcane list and not a middenhiem themed list since we have the guard and priests and they had a sub-list prior. And we already have human all cavalry lists in Bretonians.

Oh well, excited for the warwagon, the 6th ed griffon general, and some others.

Spoiler:

That's a very sweet model! Not the biggest fan of most of the newer released models (from all armies) so far, but this one is a win for me!

I was hoping I wouldn't need that much for the Empire, already having a sizeable army, but yeah those two are top of the list and definitely the highlight for me!

And probably no chance she'll fit on a 25mm square...

It's a possibility without the sculpted base, or with some very careful unit planning to allow for it.

Might if she hangs out on the edge. Whoever designed this model captured the aesthetic very well. Hopefully they get to continue designing chaos and/or old world stuff.

Isn't she already on a square base in that picture?

I would looove Frydaal if she was in plastic or metal. Just not a fan of resin, but I might get her anyway.
