Gargants with reinforcements?

Never mind being accused of being "that guy", you'll be called Mungo instead.

i like leaning into orders here, turning the army into CoS But What If Bones. leans a bit more into the roman legion style of the army, which is what appeals to me most. wish they would get another unit in that style, tho

The ability to use charge abilities after having retreated ought to lead to some fun and games.

I wonder if they will ever get some archers?

man they're really loving the D3 this edition.

2+ on a D3

Looks like the final story:

Nice bit of pov from various areas.

Looks like the Forces of Order can't have anything nice...

I'm fully expecting Archaon to wake up with a vermin infestation in the Varanspire in the near future.

Archaon's got Be'lakor actively trying to supplant him and he allies with the sketchiest allies you could possibly get.

For now. I really liked the line about Archaon having to suppress his unease. Like he knows the response from the other Alliances could upend any progress he might make, or (most likely) that the Skaven will betray him.

The Skaven will absolutely betray him. That's their whole schtick. It's only a question of when - and whether or not Archaon betrays them, first.

I'm curious how long this new Vizzik character is going to last with Skreech Verminking giving him the death stare.

5... 4... 3...

From Vizzik's description, he seems to be another kind of Verminlord or a new type of Skaven demon so can't truly be killed, though his description is self-proclaimed.

Wasn't there a mention of a new verminlord model kicking around at some point?

I could see GW doing a named unique model variation of the Verminlord model.

Yep, but that's not a unique model. It's a build option in the plastic Verminlord Kit.

So when I mean unique I mean an entirely unique sculpt that's fully its own thing. Thus allowing it to have a very different pose, style and details.

More likely an alternate sprue for the existing kit like skarbrand or the Mega gargant king guy.

Could be a dual kit with something else like the slaanesh twins.

Bring back Praznagar, Prince of Agony! Or, since the Great Horned Rat is a full Chaos god now, Kweethul Gristlegut!

Khaine girls https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/06/10/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-faction-focus-daughters-of-khaine/

That's the one i've been waiting for.

Mirror Dance is hilarious and i'm going to enjoy using that.

Has anyone worked out the pre-order date based on the Previews? I imagine it'll be a mega-epic-three-to-four-week-pre-order-extravaganza complete with underwhelming tchotchkes to incentivize people to pay full sticker price? If not this weekend, it'll be the 22nd?

Also, I'm betting they way underproduce this one following the Dominion fiasco and this one actually sells out in a weekend.

Well the previews should carry it through all the way to the end of the month. After that, sometime in early July presumably.

Doubt it will be anymore than the usual two weeks. Leviathan wasn't if memory serves. As for production, impossible to say. Leviathan didn't sell out and that can still be found all over the place.

Mirrordance sounds a bit convoluted iwth the token part, but I get that its trying to remove ambiguity of "swap the positions of these two models".

Another outstanding example of proof reading:

Mirror Dance refers to "a friendly Shadow Queen". Meanwhile, One Soul, Two Bodies refers to "a friendly The Shadow Queen"

And the simple solution to that riddle - there is no proofreading

29th June preorder for 13th July release
