A very cool model - though the scenery could just as well be custom stuff by the studio - GW studio are more than happy to make some really awesome scenery that never makes it as a model. A famous one being all the defensive walls and gateway that featured a lot with the Ossiarch army marketing

Defy the dictate of logic! Throw off the shackles that bind your mind! Liberate yourself and embrace the ever shifting tides of change!

Sadly, there is to be no liberation of the mind today!

I can’t wait for him to sellout within minutes

Great sorcerer.
Bad GW for not making him part of the actual range.
Bad, bad GW.
Boo, Hiss.

He's definitely cool, but I'm not too worried about snatching him up.

I got the WH+ mini and 2 of the Sorceress from the Khagra's Reavers Underworlds box.

Yeah, he's gonna look good in blue.

SUPER PRETTY!

Okay, I might have to have a 2nd for a 40K Tzeentch guy. Maybe holding a chainsword or something. The blue looks good!

New chaos and underworlds

Also battleforces. All look pretty good this time, although i wish they would stop putting special characters in them. I'd have been tempted by the FEC's if Gormayne wasn't in there.

Honestly I think its GW's soft tactic to making them really attractive boxes to customers but as single purchases or limited duel. It helps spread the load if you don't have your die-hard fans scooping up 2-3 or even 4 boxed sets for a single faction in one go. Sure it ensures stock sells fast, but it also means more people have to go hunting and a higher chance of people missing out.

On a side note, it's only just clicked that the rotmire creed are in the nurgle box. So the warcry warbands were taken out to be put back in again?

Only the Warcry Warbands assigned to Slaves to Darkness were removed, Rotmire Creed, Claws of Karanak and Jade Obelisk stayed as they are Maggotkin. BoK and Disciples of Tzeentch.

Quick price structure for the Battleforces: 
Assuming the Battleforces will be 180€ like the latest BA army set and would give the 31-39% discount range. Might also be 175€ since thats what the GSC and Sororitas Battleforces were. Probably 180€ for the 40k ones and 175€ for the AoS ones.

Seems like decent savings, especially with third party discounts adding another 20% on top of that.

Really surprises me to see Rotmire Creed in there, gonna look weird when the go to Legends in 3 years

Of course, the week after i just dropped money on an expensive x-mas gift. Oh well, guess i'm living on the credit card til the end of the month:

Oh thank god my wallet rests this week.

I think I might need that, uh, morrgryph for semi related project -it has an uncanny likeness to another more generic beastie.

Never expected the Stormcoven to get released, but now wheres the Pandeminium?

Seems like each book is getting at least one warband if the SCE and Skaven are anything to go by. So it could be when the Hedonites book comes, or they could do a massive dump of them all when the new Underworlds edition releases.

What's the general ballpark for Battleforce pricing? Pretty sure I could use everything in the orc box.

Edit: I should have read the thread, eh? 180 doesn't sound too bad.

Doing some quick math, 2 of the Ironjawz box would get you most of the way to a full army, even if it's not the most competitive assortment of units.

Apparently they also said on stream that the Battleforces are supposed to complement the Spearhead sets. So we can assume the Ironjawz spearhead would be a pretty good addition to this set when it releases

Woot! Stormcoven!

Hopefully I'm not going to be waiting on AOS army updates for all the other missing Underworlds sets to get a re-release though.

So the emberwatch kit shows what the eventual aesthetics for the updated Vanguard kits will look like - any bets on a mid edition update like how they did Vanguard last time? They're clearly refreshing the entire SCE line that is staying. Last time it was Vanguard vs Nurgle - if they want to stay on theme, that's a perfect opportunity for any Pestilens refresh.

Do have to say i adore the overall design of them.
