Kind of cool, but also kind of a downgrade, imo.

If they had kept their original wardrobe, it would've slapped harder I think.

That's what those remind me of!

I got Vesemir vibes from Galen.

Ooh like these. So, next year's store anniversary or something?

The most criminally unused Warhammer Quest models get their own alternatives. Yay...

The previous models for these characters were pretty massive, scale-wise - I hope that these ones are more human-sized.

I feel like the previous ones got scaled to match the Vampires in the set; which of course backfires cause AoS vampires are taller/healthier than people!

These are the boxing day minis with the usual restrictions.

Also come with a scenic base which is cool.

Why they never published Cursed City stats for the pair in WD always baffled me. Them and the Witch Hunter pack from Underworlds. The latter got a really good fan-made set, but must have been caught in that weird period where CC was completely unavailable and hidden from marketing view...

Cursed City was just cursed. I also noticed that the vampire combined kit from that set has also vanished from the GW store (though I'm hoping that just means they are going to give Soulblight actual rank and file and new models for those options that got removed)

That went ages ago. And what got removed exactly that they need a replacement on?

Zombie ogres; the single beasty and the trio of pillar dancing half-feral vampires with rapiers.

I mean, it was essentially just an alternative varghulf. And do we really need specific races of zombies? I'm trying to imagine if a zombie ogre would be significantly different stat wise from any other zombie.

Heh. 2/3 of that is the only part of the CC box I’ve gotten paint on. I hope they keep the rules for them, and they come back into print.

Part of the reason I grabbed the CC box was to reanimate my Undead army into the new world, would suck if parts of it never made it in time.

Still a great box full of fun sculps, but I like the illusion that they might see the battlefield someday to help motivate me.

Well there's no Soulblight Varghulf right now. The one for Flesheaters is slightly different and has a more animal pose and exposed flesh; whilst the CC Vargskyr Varghulf was more upright and healthy.

I don't think we need a zombie for every race, in part because whilst you could do vampires of every race of AoS it gets a bit silly in numbers. However new dancing blade unit of Vyrkos Blood-Born would be very cool to have back as well.



I'm ok with losing the named skeleton unit, those models can just be run as regular deathrattle. The heroes are a shame to lose, but in general we kept the main leader model and Soulblight already has a good number of character leaders as-is. It's not hurting for needing more. So its really those unique troops and monster that would be good to see return with updated models.

Depends on the race - Human/Dwarf/Elf/Orc? Probably not.

But I'd argue that, physically, an Ogre is different enough to need a different statblock when zombified.

You’ll have two chances to pick up this awesome Commemorative Series miniature this Christmas, starting with an in-store only period between the 26th of December and Friday the 3rd of January – make sure to check where your closest Warhammer store is so you know where to go. Available while stocks last.

After that, Galen and Doralia: Outnumbered will be available while stocks last from the online store from Saturday, January 4th, until Sunday, January 12th.

Unfortunately, fans in Australia and New Zealand will have to wait a little longer. They’ll be arriving in stores between the 25th and 31st of January, and online from the 1st until the 13th of February.

I think I like their first models better. These are a bit, I don't know, bare?

They aren't bare so much as low-fantasy when AoS has been chock full of extreme super high fantasy.

I actually prefer them, sculpt wise. The originals, particularly the daughter, always looked quite awkward to me. These are great.

It looks like the GM started enforcing encumbrance rules between sculpts.

New ones are nice, liked the old ones better.

Something more GMs should do, quite frankly.

It’s fine to ignore when nobody is abusing it. But I’ve also seen it enforced rigidly, where we blew a whole game night working out the logistics of how much supplies we would need for a journey. And not in a fun way, but an ugly math way.

Pros/cons to both sides.

The crossbow doesn't look too big here, but that might just be the angle. The original looked like a ballista.

I think I prefer their previous minis.
But Galen here looks like Olgierd von Everec from witcher so I am considering buying it...
Knowing GW it will probably be too super expensive to worth it just for him though....

I much prefer these to their previous version. Give me gritty fantasy over World Of Warcraft aesthetics any day of the week!

These look like they may actually be in the correct scale too

So today my Warhammer Heroes Age of Sigmar box arrived (bought the box of 8)

I had pre ordered this before seeing the article about not all being in every box unlike previous runs

This was a sealed box, no cellophane around it though like the others but can confirm you don't receive all 8 as per the article

The box I had was only missing the blacked out Knight-Arcanum

I got duplicates of the Liberator Prime and the Vindictor-Prime

So not bad really, I'm sure there's somewhere people in the know can go to get the missing model if you're that way inclined....

Cool, where did you get them from? I got a box from wayland, but they haven't shipped yet.
