GW News: Combat phase in #NewAoS

? I'd have thought Revenants would be least useful in 5s, as they look pretty squishy and not much better than Dryads on their profile. I'd have thought Sylvaneth players would have wanted to have as many as possible in a unit to survive shooting and melee.

But then, I'm not a Sylvaneth fan, and I'm not likely to ever become one, so what do I know?

 

pardon me. I was trying to agree with you that revs are NOT useful in 5s. and that sylvaneth players I've been talking to are planning to go for multiple vanguards to beef them up.

I apologize, I have probably not had enough coffee.

 

So, new battle box incoming, Tzeentch vs LRL:





The new heroine leaked in GHB, Scinari Enlightener, who's doing Tai Chi while leading Sentinels, Dawnriders and Bladelords:



Fighting a new plastic Curseling who we might not see as Vilitch in TOW, charging the fray with Tzaangors on foot and on discs and Kairic Acolytes:

 

why do you say that is not Vilitch?

 

That tzeench dude is absolutely dope AF. Love seeing stuff that fits WFB aesthetics. Daemons have *never* appealed to me, but I honestly like all the Tzeench stuff from recent years. And what is it with GW never being able to make a female face look decent? Massive cheek bones,a bizarrely dopey mouth and huge eyebrows.

 

I prefer the Tzaangors GW released not that long ago and keeps pushing over the Pink Horrors that have been a staple of Warhammer Fantasy Tzeentch armies for years. The former fit the avian aesthetic of Tzeentch so much better, while the latter could really just be generic demon enemies from any old fantasy story, they look weird but there's nothing even vaguely Tzeentchian about them.

To be honest I think the female Mage here looks better than most of the other female models GW have released recently, but it may be that I'm simply revelling in the fact they've finally released a model with a long, flowing, feminine hairstyle rather than Sisters of Battle bob hairstyles or the lesbian chav cuts the female Stormcast have.

 

I think I've read that tzaangors are crap on the tabletop for rules, but from what I've seen they look great and would fit WFB easily!

 

Hi, we'd like to talk to you about the Lord of crows, Ulatap-tzi. He's closely related to the vulture God ulatap from the desert realm of nehekhara.

 

This is what Wall-E looks like underneath his yellow suit

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Admech ('cos technology) or Inquisition (because I can see an Inquisitorial 'I' on the bot) vs Chaos Daemons?

Still Imperium vs Chaos, mind, which is dull as ditchwater. I hope GW don't fully go back to such crap in 10th Edition after such a lovely Xenos-filled 9th Edition...

 

Has anyone seen the newly minted StarCraft dwarf terminators?

Because these are StarCraft Marines as dwarves.

40k has come full circle. That's it. We can close up shop and go home .

 

which, incidentally, these bear the signs of the sculptor using the agressors as a template for posing and sculpting.

 

To be honest I prefer these to the Aggressors by a long way. At least these are being made for a brand new faction that has gone down this aesthetic route anyway, as opposed to being part of a pointless model range upgrade for a faction that didn't need it, simply because GW thought they 'weren't powerful enough'.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Leagues of Votann army grows and develops in the coming years, they look like a faction with serious potential.

My only bit of beef, not just with these but with most of the model range so far, is there aren't enough beards (though this can be amended by greenstuffing and/or sourcing additional Dwarf heads) and too many heads with Stormcast/Space Marine chav haircuts. Why does GW obsess over the chav cut so much?

 

Having now assembled some of those miniatures, that conversion is going in The Book

 

I'm glad other people like it.
