GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

Source here.

Also Kroxies 5W and lots of units cheaper by 10 or 20 points.

 

Yes. Thank you @Cristhian MLR.

 

I am happy to see the Carnosaurs and the Stegadons come down in cost. Also, Rippers, Terradons, and their respective Chiefs went down in cost.

However, I didn't think our win percentage was that high anymore, so I hate to see our main heroes get a points increase. I know point changes are not necessarily to curtail wins, but to push players to field other models. Still, the Slann, Kroak and Astrolith are too important to just not field in Starborne. So, not unlike the Salamanders of our last book, we just have to eat the increased cost and field those heroes anyway.

 

Another Kroot model, but the mount could as well work for our Lizards



Or an alternative Salamander (If you're able to create a nice sail)

Grrr, !mrahil

 

That is a cool looking model. I could see it working in a Lizard army.

 

@Imrahil Does the model's tail solve a rumor engine? I don't know why, but it seems familiar. Maybe it's just b/c it looks lizard-like.

EDIT: Yes, this one from May 8, 2023

 

The tricky part would be dealing with the saddle, but otherwise, it seems like a pretty good fit.

 

Kroot went to Lustria and snatched Kalamandras.

Warhammer World is in the same universe as 40K confirmed.

 

I said the same thing in rumour engine

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerF...umor_gws_internal_situation_regarding_tow_is/ interesting bit popped up on reddit regarding TOW

 

So, there are starting to pop out images; images of Skaven push fit models!:



4th edition starter faction? even more Forcedcast Eternallyhere? Rehashed Blood Island? Finally not obscene lucking Rat Ogres?

 

Certainly those were the rumours circulating around for a while. I hope they don't redo the Clanrats, Stormvermin, Screaming Bell/Plague Furnace or the Warp Lightning Cannon/Plagueclaw kits because they look fine, and I'm honestly not bothered about the current Rat Ogres and Giant Rats, but everything else could do with new sculpts (especially Night Runners/Gutter Runners, still languishing in the 6th Edition Monkey Rat phase).

 

Anyway, we don't need to talk about Age of Skubmar when we can talk about TOW... I'm surprised nobody else noticed that the second wave of TOW stuff is coming tomorrow.

Bone Dragon Khemric Titan basing and accessory kit:


Nekaph:


The old Skeletons coming back :


Horsemen, also in a double box:

And Chariots, curiously still in boxes of three (I'll be interested to see how all these are priced):


Apophas, the 8th Edition Necrotect sculpt and the Tomb King on Chariot:

Tomb Scorpion:

Screaming Skull Catapult:

Carrion (with a brand new pose - does anyone who has the original two sculpts know which one is the new one?):

 

And for the Bretonnians we have the new Foot Knights:


The 'new' Bretonnian Duke/Baron/Paladin on foot sculpt (which now apparently is supposed to have been planned for Games Day 2011, presumably before they thought of the Skaven Warlord sculpt actually released that year in honour of Island of Blood):


Knights:


Questing Knights:


Interestingly enough, Squires (presumably from 5th Edition... I definitely don't remember these from the 6th-8th range, and to be honest I'm not hugely fond of this idea returning as some of you may have already heard):


The two older Damsel models to be released permanently:


And the Green Knight himself:



Interestingly enough, no sign of Elisse Duchaard, Men-at-Arms and Peasant standalone kits or the third Bretonnian character in their Arcane Journal, a new Duke character I believe. Sounds like they're to be released further down the line.

 

I think the point of TOW is keeping some of the models, you know, old, so I don't really mind having most of TK skellies being vintage versions of themselves, that's kind of why I gathered some old Saurus Warriors (and the fact that they rank significably easier being smaller than the new AoS ones), but don't get it wrong, if we get some new classics, I'll be on board with them.

That being said, GW pricings. Also some of them are metal, y'ouch.

 

Is it me or do the Damsels look like they've been through some s*#t?

 

The sooner we get through this stuff, the sooner we can get to O&G Trolls and Wood Elves!
