It seems a shame to retire the Warshrine. Hopefully it goes back to TOW.

But they could throw spears; or needles; or anything but freakishly long whips!

Ear piercing psychic screams, the models look like they are screaming anyway.

I don't think i've ever seen that played by anyone since it's original release.

The warshrine was a central model to my Warriors of Chaos army. Had I updated my army to AoS or, more realistically, made a new one with the AoS specific warror models, I would have included a warshrine in it as well.

It's a fun model and with a large platform like that allows for a lot of customization, too.

Last time I used a Warshine, it didn't have a plastic model



I'm not a huge fan of the plastic one, but it has so much potential for conversion and it's sad to see it go.

Most interesting for me is Darkoath tomorrow.

That seems the most likely reason, but it wasn't included in their book, so I guess it may be AWOL for a bit

It was never a model I cared about, but I did impulse buy one off Ebay before the prices skyrocket

Good looking set and some interesting rules. Looks like a nice addition.

Thats a Marauder Barbarian dream box. Some of those poses are so nice. Crom approves.

The weird thing is Bloodletters of all daemons having a cannon to fire on their chariot. And if I recall corecctly, for a very short time in 40k you could combine their baffling and useless Balistic Skill of 5 with an interceptor quad gun, untill it was quickly errata-ed.
Anyway lots of beasts have ranged attacks without using a gun. Cant even remember all the twiggi-buggies and spite-gnittins and what-have-you insect swarms Sylvanet can unleach.

Love the Darkoaths! Really nice to see they include the Warcry Savagers and Warqueen instead of just remove some stuff from the lauch box.

Only because GW insists on 40K Daemons just being Fantasy Daemons who happen to have wandered into 40K.

There's a whole world of cyberdemons which GW just refuses to consider, despite multiple Daemon models already having guns (Soulgrinder, Skull Cannon (which is also a motorbike-alike)).

Ok, fair on the cyberdemons/doom biohorror technodemons

Really, we just need the creativity that went into the Gellerpox mob, but across the range.

Or just go back to their roots in Epic and grab all the Daemon Engines of old.

Yea Gellerpox are so good, wish we got a multipart kit

Did someone say green? I think someone said green

I dislike that doom diver with a passion. The old model is so great and this looks just like a cluttered mess. The grots look very iffy to me in general; the snarlfang grots were great. These have wierd noses to me; too droopy and not pointy enough if that makes sense at all. The whole range feels very busy: a bit cluttered and the models lack clear focus points. Perhaps I'll pick up that special character, depending on how big he is.

Impressive sculpts to be sure, but not my taste sadly.

Too impressive for Gitmob, I'd say. I'd love sculpts of this quality, dynamicism, and badassery for, say, Hobgrots. But for silly old Gitmob it feels like they're trying too hard. I do also worry about this massive flanderisation with hating the sun and now every single detail they have is about hating the sun.

I know its about time AoS had their own take on goblins but honestly, those Gits look like last years AI trying to figure goblins out.
The overall design looks really good though, exept for the doomdiver beeing far to elaborate and cluttered.

Will I get the whole lot? You bet!

I absolutely love the Goblins. Next AoS army sorted for sure.

Orruk Endless Spell with the pool solves a rumor engine. (Hand reaching out of water/substance)

Indeed the hand. The only negative with this is that the gitz box has a special character in it, so can't get two.

Depends on if there's a generic alt build or not.

I mean, he's got a bare head but it's still the same git.

Could still have one. Tornus has one even if it's barely advertised as such and his is just a different head(and a sword option).

True. But then again it's not even the git that's really the character, but the wolf. On a side note, where's the article for the path to glory book? I want me some narrative supplement.

Hyped for Space Wolves now that this goodest of bois are here.

Also, Spearhead for Wolfbbos only, which is also great.

This was a good reveal all in all.

Little disappointed that Kruleboyz only got yet another character no one asked for, and a piece of faction terrain. Oh, and endless spells. Actually, I guess I shouldn't complain, that's a decent amount. I just hope Hobgrots get better rules, they're pretty trash currently. Happy to hear that Big Waaagh! is returning as an Army of Renown, so maybe I should grab myself some Ironjawz if the rules for it are good.

I am actually very, very happy that we're looping back to factions getting terrain and spells, for the sake of parity.

True. Hopefully they'll go back and finish off whoever doesn't have any yet.

I just personally don’t find endless spells and faction terrain interesting so it’s always disappointing if that’s most of a factions reveals.
