Can't spot any difference between the Soulblight and Nighthaunt terrain builds...

Wall panels for the Nighthaunt one have flowers on the vines?

Was gonna say, what is the actual difference between a “cursed sepulchre” and a “nexus of grief” exactly? Other than being painted a slightly different colour, I mean.

So the kit comes with dozens of tint flowers to add?

Edit2 electric boogaloo: oh wait, the panels are just flipped: one side has flowers, the other doesn’t.

Ooph, it looks like there’s no new Soulblight spearhead box yet to match the new rules.

The wolf goblins haven't gotten a box, yet, either.

I really hope Prince Vhordrai isn't €135 but that seems to be the standard price for a kit like that now. Oh well expensive week coming up with the Underworlds release as well.

Isn't he on the same size base as Karazai/Krondys? In which case he's huge.

Yeah its a 130mm base I think

Ok, they're 160mm. So he's ever so slightly larger than Iridan the Witness. So i'm going to guess £80.

I was thinking it would land in the £100 region so if it lands at £80 I'd call that a win.

Wait I was wrong its on a 160mm base (had to go back and watch the LV open video as they mention it in there around 5:50mins in https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/1jgcyjq6/the-lvo-preview-2025-all-the-reveals/

Ok then yeah he's breaking the £100 barrier

Looks like the soulblight version dont have a stone coffin inside the semi ruined structure, but it might be the angle?

Bloody love these models. So evocative of some of WHFB’s earliest art.

I was honestly surprised that they focused their launch reveal video just on the spearhead and held back both the dragon and the vampire on mount

Seeing reports that Vhordrai is $195 that puts him at Teclis price level £115, €150 well that ends any thoughts of getting a 2nd for a Revenant for my FEC.

Hm, that puts him £10 over the dragon twins. Stealth increases ho.

If the new Spearhead isn't going up, that means I can wait on another box of Barrow Guard. Probably gonna wait on the Dragon too, so just means the terrain and Endless for me for now.

Weird that they redid the old spearhead. I was expecting it to just fade away, but re-released with the new skeletons? What’s going on behind the scenes?

The new mounted vampire lord will be mine…

Spearhead is the new game format so I can see value in them keeping the old configuration around since its not a "legal" army in Spearhead and GW are pushing that as the new "mid-range" entry point for Age of Sigmar.
The new Skeletons is basically because GW has replaced the kit so they've just let the old stock run low in the lead up to the new version and now just hot-swapped the models and kept the kit going.

But presumably they need to print new boxes with pic of the new skeletons. Seems a bit excessive for something that’s going to be retired when they shift to the new spearhead.

Or they keep both on the market at the same time and timed it so that they naturally ran out of boxes in stock as much as they could. Esp if its going to be like the others mentioned and could be another 6 months before we see the new spearhead appear

Prices off of reddit. The zombie dracolinth is kinda pricey

Yah, even for a big centerpiece model that’s a bit much. Moves to “maybe could be nice” to “Hard nope”

195 for Vhordrai?? That better be Canadian or Australian pricing

They do still have multiple Spearheads on offer for Stormcast, Skaven, and Slaves to Darkness... no reason to de-list anything yet.

with the list having English and French books, it is Canadian

I'd imagine the big guy is $165 USD, which is still pretty pricey but not as insane as $195 would have been. That would put him on par with the big Stormcast dragons.

Items like the Spearhead and WH:U warband are consistent with US$ prices and not Canadian ones. So US prices it is indeed.

Well they share the same base size - the Stormcast dragons are 160mm and the new vampire dragon is also on a 160mm base

This. I have Karazai in front of me right now and he's huge. So assuming Vordhrai is the same dimensions roughly.

The big difference is that Karazai has one wing open and is upright the new undead dragon is a bit more compact in pose with a downward angle and both wings closed.

So they will feel different, but yeah I REALLY want to see the new dragon against some other stuff in photos to really give a sense of its size
