So 25 minutes for AOS, now I dread how long it will be for HH/Old World.

Judging how it's half an hour and than a half hour Q&A, you've got about 8 minutes to allow for stuttering, ums, ahs and oh that's cool's.

Old WHFB monsters are startingly small compared to AoS stuff.

That’s a nice pig alright. Is that an ard boy or brute on the side? If it’s the latter, I wish more had those face masks. I’ve been hoping for an ironjawz model that I can proxy in the trampla squig for and this is it

Apparently bigger then Stegadon.

Lorewise or model wise? I thought Stegadon models were fairly small, given the age of the kit. The trampla squig from the 40k kill rig should be big enough for at least the rider, if not his crew

Model wise. And yeah, those are Brutes with a Big Boss on top.

The worst thing about the big pig is it makes the current gore-gruntas look awful.

They always looked bad tbf.

True but now there’s a much better example of the same idea in the same army.

Even better looking one!

Yeah, those sidecars have to go. What a way to ruin an otherwise great model.

Boss Hog looks amazing. Really brutal.

What's going on with that weird walking snail unicorn on the base of the CoS Cavalier champion? It has shoes on, so I assume its not just zany fauna of the mortal realms. I could see it being on the base of some chaos warriors, or gloomspite, but for an order character, it's just seems very random to include.

The helmets, when you snip off bits like the gate, are very cool. There's a very "empire" feel to them, like they're straight from old empire artwork (or Blanche, more likely)

The banner is weird though. I don't think its blowing the right way, given that his horse his moving. If you swap the horse with the champion's, so that its rearing up, then I think it'll work better

The mounted Nurgle guy is really really excellent though. Really impressed with that and the CoS cavalry.

Nods to Heironymous Bosch, who is a clear influence on John Blanche.

I think for me the issue is how static the orruks are on the side. If they'd had both feet steady but then holding on with the arm nearest the boar and then one arm holding a weapon that would have worked. It's the static "standing" pose that they've got going on that bothers me a little. Because a boar running over rough terrain isn't smooth like a car over smooth road surfaces. I get the idea and I think its awesome, but they should have had them holding on with one arm to brace against the boar. Then they'd have looked really tough holding their two armed weapons in one arm!





The nurgle mount is freaking utterly awesome and almost makes me want to own it just for itself (and I say that as someone who owns nothing in Nurgle)

New silhouette teaser for Heresy and Old World.

Heresy looks to be a Terminator….and a Knight. The one with the Lance and Shield.

They are nice but only 5 miniatures and a unit for AOS? That's disappointing...

The Nurgle Harbinger remake is stellar, even has some build options it seems.

I think it might be best model revealed this event- and I say that as a non-nurgle fan and a big Tyranid fan.

Everything has been fantastic so far but that Nurgle mount just really steals the show. I bet that's going to be a really really popular selling model

That’s it then? Feels like they’ve spread one decent preview show over 3 days again.

That's it for AOS, but there is still the preview for HH & TOW today, and one for Kill Team tomorrow.

The absolute winner here is the Lord of Nurgle. Close second is The Entire Hog. Those were 5 out of the 12 new models promised for the existing factions, unless you also count the crusaders, which doesn't hype me at all. But they do be looking better then Bretonnia.

Let's see what the TOW preview has in store for us.

Can't wait for the HH one to have another tank or book.

Incredible model. Much nicer glow up than the new chaos lord on daemonic steed

At long last, I found the one person who's not into nü-CLoDM

Some really weird proportions on those CoS horses and the Nurgle hero mount.

Do AoS horses not graze? Is AoS grass really, REALLY tall?

That's not how biology works.

I was excited for the Sigmar Knights at first, but when I got a chance to really look at them, I was completely turned off. Way too many doo-dads, and the two banners are fluttering in the wrong direction.

Is it really too hard to make a nice, clean unit of Knights?

I was hoping for Pestigors, but the new Harbinger model looks pretty cool.

As I mentioned, then remembered screen grabs are a thing.

Definetly tomb king in the middle

Fair play those new Empire Knights are extremely good. Very impressive, will be fun to convert up for Warhammer Old World for Marienburg knights.

Terminator is for sure the named Imperial Fist here

Ah nuts, plastic cerastus will be tempting.

Don't give me hope on plastic Cerastus Knights...

I forgot that this is also The Old World reveal, and was so confused at first

The cavalry is, overloaded with a lot of details that make them long odd

the design is consistent among all of them and I guess it fits with the other over the top AoS models
but they are not for me, even with a fantasy theme, mixing every cavalry cliche into one model no matter if it fits is too much

They styled each one a bit like the various religious, non-Sigmar-affiliated knights from the Old world; there's a knight of Taal (Stag), one of Morr (Skull), one of Ulric (Wolf) and one that could be either a Panther knight or a Knight of Verena.

That's a good catch. I'm glad they did that, and didn't go with the weird lore they teased for Cities, like the people that worship wheels for some reason?

Literally no other reason I can think of for a lancer to be in a preview, engage hopium.
