Loving the terrain piece! Hopeful that we get a new saurus model in the "coming soon" previews.... since a Saurus is on the cover and all!
The models shown with it are all plastic, barring the Slann, which is an honestly iconic model they probably will not redo.
I mentioned earlier that I read on TGA about an "astrolithic monolith" and wonder if this will be the name of this thing. If so, I suspect/hope this will become an important part of a revamped summoning mechanic which will in turn free up the slann to cast more maybe even go as far as to not needing to have one as your general. Also, the fact that the old resin slaann, carnosaur & current skinks are in the image of the terrain is a clear indicator that none of those models are getting new sculpts. Not a bad thing though. I like all of them
I like how the saurus on the cover is literally just how the Old blood looks like in total war: Warhammer. I hope they do a surprise reveal of new saurus sculps, i just hope.
They usually call a peek at the new rules a ‘preview’. At most, endless spells can crop up, but I feel like they’d have announced those today too. The book is good enough!
BTW, that lizard thingie previewed for Blackstone Fortress could easily be used for some conversion...hmmmm.... edit: it's apparently called a 'zoat' lol. The vid has a misderective nod/wink at Sons of Behemat as well. Too bad they don't know people have found out about them haha!
I'm pretty confident that it's the Astrolithic Monolith which got leaked in shipping manifests a good while ago. A new line would be amazing.
I have like 50 saurus warriors i need to paint. lol Might end up holding on until we hear more about the possible new saurus line
Jeeeeepers there are a lot of insane reveals going on here. I am thrilled we're getting a tome, but our announcement pales in comparison to those Aelf and Skitarii models. Robo horses with flamethrowers for mouths? Are you kidding me? Seraphon can't compete. Imagine the possibilities if that modeling talent and budget was spent on our aging Lizards.
I...um...have...like all of it to paint. When I got an airbrush I stripped my lizards and then kinda fell out with the game. So I have like...um...4 of every behemoth, 12 razordons, 3 salamanders, 40 warriors, 20 templeguard, 60 skinks, 9 rippers and 3 terradons to paint. :X
hmmm they didn't have saurus in the zigarat pic and we feature on the front of the book with armor i would not give up hope yet
and no mention of a new hero sculpt since the only 2 who didn't get one are orks/cities im hoping that there is more to come
This is a great morning!! and I am just 10 minutes out of bed! Overjoyed with the new Battletome, still we need to know what's inside and how it works out for us, but damn its here!!! Gr, Imrahil
I think we could be up for ore order next Saturday. If I remember the fyreslayer reveal last year did the same. Hope I'm right
