Rare Saturday article for the ghosts:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/virk2hly/scourge-of-ghyran-day-5-torment-by-day-haunt-by-night/

Kurdoss seems to have gotten quite a boost

The Black Coach certainly seems punchier.

So there's no generic Vampire on Zombie Dragon option in the kit.

That seems... uncharacteristic for GW?

I think the "generic" is just the dragon without rider in GW's view. Otherwise its a centre stage model.

Honestly I wonder partly if they might one day give Soulblight a smaller wyvern or monster that's maybe on an 80mm base to be more of the chaff monster and the dragon might get a leg-up in stats and points to be the heavyweight.

Well there's no generic unit entry for that. So seems logical.

It's logical to remove the generic entry from the army list, thereby reducing potential sales, when all it would have needed (probably - haven't looked at sprue pics) is a variant head and weapon arm?

Odd definition of logical, Gideon.

I don't know why you have this weird obsession with trying to make every post you make a "gotcha" at someone else. But you do you.

But yeah, if they don't want to have a generic vampire and make the actual mount itself the generic option, then yeah, seems logical.

And in another uncommon sunday article, we have Cities. In which they try and make the cannons more usable:

on that note, with the update to the mighty lord of khorne, this feels like another strong hint to Khul getting a unique deamon prince model of his own before long.

Fire lads today:

Heavy focus on the droth's, which i strongly approve of

Sons of Behemat article today:

But more importantly they casually leaked new Idoneth models in that article:


There is this guy that is likely a manifestation, with a second one in the form of a water tentacle behind it (Or maybe they are both part of a multi-base manifestiation?):
Could also be a new monster or even an incarnate instead since the base is pretty big for a manifestation


and these two new heros:

that looks too big to be a manifestation, imo. maybe the water tentacles, but the big guy looks monster-sized

nonetheless, very exciting. loving the boney fish and the anglerfish on the one base. freakier fish being represented is exactly what i've wanted from idoneth! already an A+

If that's a manifestation, then that's huge. But good lord, finally some Idoneth love. I adore the middle character already. Now let's give the Fyrelsayers some similar love.

Lovely monkfish thing on that one base

Full pic. Does anyone recognise what those weapons are on the top right corner? That have been cut off the pic?

That's Volturnus's sword and cape

GW: *Pawn Stars Voice* Best I can do is another hero miniature on foot that does something slightly different than the other 6-8 foot heroes.


Also, anyone seeing the crew member on the Akhellian Leviadon(the big turtle thing for the uninitiated)? Looks to be broken and pointing straight down.

If Fyreslayers get many more heroes they'll have more poses of heroes than they do poses of troops!

I count 6 heroes plus 2 in the Magmadroth box, versus 10 infantry poses.

Counting Underworlds gangs would shift this towards infantry I suppose.

Don't forget the Warcry warband.

How do you get to 10 for the infantry?

There is one box that builds Hearthguard Berzerkers of two varieties and Auric Hearthguard, a second box that builds Vulkite Berzerkers of two varieties, and the Flameseekers.

Then there are 12 character datasheets, with half of them being doubles of "on foot" and "mounted on 'droth".

It would be comical, if it was not so sad for people actually interested and excited about the faction. Fyreslayers really need some proper attention.

We are counting poses not boxes

We gave up counting boxes/warscroll cards a long long while back

The Incarnate of beasts is a manifestation, so I don't think anything is really too big to be one.

Did these IDK leaks solve any rumor engines?

It did. Looks like three got solved, and I think a fourth is likely, but we can't see enough of the wizard guy's base.

As someone who uses 98% Darkoath, this one is particularly good:

What happens... when a human uses 100% of their Darkoath?

This can cause a chain reaction, which may lead to total protonic reversal (or destruction at the cellular level).

Or chaos spawndom.

Maybe both.

I didn't even realize they supersized the giants in AoS though I should have suspected given the past decade. So it the mega-gargant the baneblade kit of their fantasy universe?

https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/warstomper-mega-gargant-2022



It looks like the kit makes a bunch of minimally different but legally distinct trademarkable variants similar to the baneblade kit. Sarcasm aside.. I do like the overall asthetic of this giant versus the gangly malnurished homeless chronic alcoholic vibe of the normal current giant.

the AOS giants are very cool. not so cool that i wanna get one, but i really appreciate what they're doing

personally, if i was designing a knights/baneblade faction for AOS, i would have gone with dragons, but these are cool as-is. certainly feels like it can justify being a standalone faction in lore better than knights
