    Certainly more affordable... though their kit will doubtlessly be over £100. That's still a lot of dosh to shell out on a single model.

    But they will have their uses, as Emperor Dragons in Warhammer Fantasy and the Order answer to Imperial Knights in AoS.

    Those are some big dragons... I think? I would like to see a size comparison with a normal-sized AOS model. Looks like they would be super expensive and hard to transport.

    Not a fan of the faces either, though they are better than the last iteration of High Elf dragons.

    Interesting.
    Depending on his attacks this will make for a hard monster to kill the longer it stays in battle.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Imagine those battle reports where people would write "At some point Karazai didn't even need the dice for his attacks" :D
    That is... if he wasn't focus-fired from the start, haha.

    I readed in a YouTube comment that the dragon's heads looks like they came out of a Don Bluthand that is just a MASSIVE bonus in my book..

    The heads are quite similar to what we are expecting theropod dinosaurs to have: lips, so that's a paleo bonus too.

    And, fulff-wise, we are responsible of this beautiful creatures:



    Dragon this nutz, chaos!

    Stormdrake Guard, taking flight, and they look SO good.

    Yes, even if you don't like Sigmarines, thankfully the bare heads and a bit of kitbashing with Demigryph knights, you can make them look different enough.

    Man am I just jealous. Hopefully our kin will have something fantastic as a reward for making this fellas take flight.

    Hm, wonder how these will compare in size to the young dragons from the Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures line for D&D?

    Would be nice to find some cheap proxies if/when these drop @ 2 for $60 lol

    Quite a bit bigger than the old one it seems.

    Not sure how I feel about him yet to be honest?

    I loved the old model (my favorite 40K marine), its hard to beat out that classic.

    Remember Kill Team? It's back! with a promise:

    So, was the promise kept? yesn't.

    See, at the moment of posting this, the only French and Japanese copies are no longer available, and both of them are limited, because there are both Made to Order AND Limited options.

    Everything else? fair play.

    Yet, pretty neat to see them call address the scalpers as "dirty".

    But, so far, so good!, if you aren't boycotting GW, feel free to order your launch box before midnight on your timezone, which is pretty much four hours from now on at posting this:

    Curious to see how the new edition of Kill team does. I've heard both good and bad things about it (mostly bad).

    Will have to check back in a few months.

    Did everyone see this? I liked it.

    Preview of Hammer and Bolter animations featuring Commissar Yarrick.

    My favourite line was the Ork talking about Commissar Yarrick destroying the space hulk with a "For the Emperor!":

    "They say that a lot."

    I think it was a decent watch, but nothing to send out cease and desist letters to fan animators.

    The animation was not great for a streaming service, but towards the end the jokes really got me, and I liked that they didn't gave a +2 invul save to the black female crewmate just becase she is a minority: this is war.

    Glad it was well recieved here, at least, there is already plenty of nayers, but they were here since the announcement of WH+ anyway.

    I'm still on board with WH+, mainly because I want the monthly discounts. I ain't gonna buy -10% off for a Primaris Intercessors box, but if they do something else, I could get behind.

    Yes it wasn't that bad, but if this was supposed to be a shattering reveal of the new majestic contents that await us inside wh+, where the best animators from youtube now can finally put their artistic skills to work... i'd say it failed spectacularly.

    "First among next week’s literary pre-orders is The Art of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Fantasy Battles. This hardback A4 book contains a stunning collection of artwork from both the World-that-Was and the Mortal Realms, featuring character portraits, landscapes, depictions of epic battles, and more.

    Not only is this a beautiful edition packed with gorgeous art from various eras of Warhammer, but it contains insights into the artists’ transition from the Old World to the Age of Sigmar to boot."
