I actually quite like the Sigmar temples for TOW; they’re flat topped and big enough for a regiment so they can make decent ersatz hills. Plus the orrery just looks neat.

I remain baffled by some GW MTO choices but not making the realmgates available most of all given their import to the setting and that they sell for a damned fortune.

Indeed, the realmgates being absurdly expensive second hand is kind of baffling.

Nice to see the Sigmar platforms again. I'm not game myself as I haven't done anything with the ones I have yet.

I might have gone for something older, too. I seem to recall something like a floating fountain that I thought looked neat but never got around to buying at the time.

Finally! I can get Hobgoblins to round out my Chaos Dwarfs without breaking the bank trying to find the old metal ones.

They will look good on square bases. Though I do wish GW would stop with the blocky look when it comes to sculpting. The Chaos Dwarfs look fine, though maybe I just don't like the colour schemes they chose.

Feel like they should have just made Chaos Dwarfs for Old World. These aren't doing anything for me personally! These don't hold a candle to the FW sculpts.

Strangely, I have the opposite reaction. These don't look alike AoS minis to me, they look much more like they belong in The Old World.

To me the Chorfs faces look like the old pig faced orcs for D&D, not Chaos Dwarfs.
And the details aren't great.
Everything is blocky & chunky. While its the chosen design language, I don't care for it.
I don't see fingernails on the topless Bull Centaurs, and the muscles all remind me of the plastic minotaurs, in the worst way.

In almost 25 years of Warhammer, I have never seriously* considered playing Dwarves of any stripe. I think the only Dwarf models I ever got were the Goblin Hewer (as a Regiment of Renown for my Empire army), and the one Dwarf skeleton musician that was part of the Cursed Company, and the Hellcannon for my Chaos Warriors.

...until now. I may actually get these guys.

*I toyed with doing Chaos Dwarves during the closing days of WHFB, but the army being all Forge World was a huge turn-off.

The Horns of Hashut armour design and details looked better than these. Honestly was expecting something like Iron Gollems crossed with Horns of Hashut and Legion of Azgorh.

This is very, very cartoony feeling.

Can only imagine the Chaos Dwarf community reactions.

I saw on TGA forum that one of the more reliable rumormongers mentioned that the Horns of Hashut (human Warcry warband) aren't actually part of this army. Did they confirm that during the stream? Kind of a wasted opportunity imo, if that's truly the case.

Not a fan of any of these paint jobs on the Helsmiths. I like the mini's but I'd love to see them in a throwback to their WHFB original red, or something a bit grimier. These dudes don't looks like they have ever been near anything industrial.

I don't know, the Strigoi is the only model from the whole preview I really find exciting.

the Chaos Dwarfs are, I don't know, boring isn't really the right word for it but by now there are so many of those out there that look much better that this isn't really filling anything

Big metal Golems with cannons as arms was done better by other games already and here they look more like designer forgot the lower part rather than something that can actually shoot

the infantry isn't doing anything special outside the pig/boar faces, the warmachine look like made for traitor guard in 40k and the big centerpiece model is not doing much here compared to other AoS center piece models

if they would have just used the old FW design made in plastic it wouldn't haven exciting either but looked better

They didn't get a mention but all the cooler aspects of Warcry seem to have been squatted so it's not surprising.

The Nighthaunt and FEC characters are great.

But... I have to be honest, I'm quite disappointed by the Chaos Dwarfs. I am waiting to see them painted differently, because I think the Skaven esque paint scheme is bad. But the angular nature just makes them seem quite low poly in a way, and there's not enough beards or hats.

I don't like the green glow. It always makes me think Skaven or Necron, and would have preferred a classic orange/red fiery effect. But then I'd just complain they looked too much like Fyreslayers.
