Very likely just a conversion.

Here's a closer look at that guy:


And his body and specifically the lower body decorations look like an exact match to the Reclusian Prime:

It's quite a hefty conversion if it is, but i still hold out hope for multi's like the Annihilators got.

Wasn't aware of that until today's WarCom post.

I actually missed this, so appreciate it.

Nice pdf, which apparently most of us weren't aware of? Hmmm.

Its a shame they haven't provided rules to use the Knight Questor in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City.

Come to think of it, Ulfenkarn would be ideal for a Skaven incursion...

How is shooting in this edition? I know the skaven have some firepower and the gloomcast none. Just curious, as a non-player myself.

Have yet to play any game myself so no idea about it.

It's okay.

Do remember that Stormcast are extremely disliked, so no matter what they were going to lose.

Being called Sigmarines does not mean they are hated

I'm not convinced these aren't just rigged by GW anyway. For the last 40k one everyone acted surprised when the Tyranids won, but GW had already announced that they were the ones coming out first, so to me, surprise, surprise, they get to get previewed first was well, on the level of Capt Renault getting surprised with the gambling going on in Rick's Cafe.

Eh I can honestly believe this one isn't rigged.

Skaven were always going to win this boxed set on popularity. First up they've not had an update in a big way in ages for most of their army (and the one big update they did have in the past was tied to a starter boxed set for a game that tied and that set was only accessible secondhand).

So Skaven already hit the ground running with a super interesting update.


Stormcast got updated, but the only way to do it was to strip a bunch of models, some of which were only 3 years old. Whilst it let GW keep them in the boxed set without bloating their army or making a second stormcast army; I think it just left a sour experience for people seeing an army, many might have just started, get invalidated models so swiftly. Abnormally swiftly for GW for a mainline game.



So I can well see there being more public spark and interest in Skaven and in seeing the Skaven win.

Well locally it's hard to offload the Stormcast models, so I'd believe 2/3 of the player base prefer Skaven.

The next week in Warhammer video from yesterdays article has a little teaser for the reveal show next Saturday:
The first one is obviously just the already revealed Knight-Azyros so no teaser for Stormcast but as its unlikely they will win and be shown off this Saturday thats not surprising.
The second one though is a new Skaven character we haven't seen before

Unusual looking everything for a ratboy.

So the new notQueek model?

I'm not really sure what it is. The sword looks huge and very odd for a rat. And i've no clue if those arches on the back are shoulder pads or something to do with the back banner.

my first thought when i saw it was something orky. maybe an ironjaw

No, this is specifically for the winning faction, so it has to be a rat.

oh! missed that

yeah okay that's weird. curious to see what it is. maybe a new clawlord

The arches are probably shoulder pads. They're not aligned with the toothy banner bit, which suggests they're further forward than the banner.

To me it looks like a boss rat on tactical rock with a pet (giant rat?) in front of it. Maybe even an Eshin boss because that looks like the kind of weapon a rat with an appreciation for blades would have.

Good shout about the pet rat. Can see the head and tail now. The sword still looks weird to me.

Eh, the sword doesn't look any larger or more un-Skavenlike than the ones wielded by the dual wielding metal lord released alongside Isle of Blood.

Reincarnation of Headtaker or not, it is a Skaven named Warlord. Pet giant rat is a nice addition.

That's, uh, that's Goreshade.

I don't recognise that name?

It's a reference to a Warmachine character, Goreshade the Bastard.
