GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

[Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl]

Wow, I bet Ogre Kingdoms players are pissed that another faction has stolen their Ogre standard bearer with Lookout Gnoblar models and upgraded them (or pleased, if they want to kitbash it into a proper Ogre version).

Not my cup of tea in any case.

 

[Krox_v.2]

I still have the White Dwarf issues where they explain the design choices for Ogre Kingdoms and the desire to make Warhammer Ogres somewhat unique, not "just a big human". With that in mind, this strikes me as a bit of a step backwards,

 

[Just A Skink]

I know I can be a bit of a "nay sayer" but I'm not too blown away by the new Cities of Sigmar models GW has teased.

I kinda like the basic infantry and the general/character minis, but only cause I can see some potential for a Mordheim warband in them.

Nothing wrong with that. Welcome to the club.

I like the old school look armour -wise but model doesn't really cut it for me.
I just hope we don't see a plethora of guys mounted on ogre backs like they did with the undead with graves on their backs. One was cool but dozens was ridiculous,
i.e.

what’s the opposite to a nay-sayer?

 

[Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl]

what’s the opposite to a nay-sayer?

A yes-man perhaps, but a yes-man says 'yes' without thinking or showing a backbone, which doesn't apply to a nay-sayer per se, or the true opposite to a nay-sayer.

If you genuinely like the model then it's fine to say so, indeed it shows that you have the backbone to not be afraid to disagree with us, which is certainly not yes-man behaviour.

I do like the model, I guess I’m more an optimist than a certain bringer of the night when it comes to new releases

indeed.
One of them would be cool as "leader" but as you said, too many is too many.

me neither.
Luckily i get rid of my previous CoS . Except for dawi.

To paraphrase @Scalenex : It's better to be a pessimist than and optimist because nine times out of ten you are correct and on the tenth occasion you're pleasantly surprised.

 

[Cristhian MLR]

This saturday tthere will be a NOT 40K stream on Twitch and I love the idea! Quite surprised about TOW making showing up.

 

[Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl]

Looks like ratboys are getting something, yes, yes:


Can't be for TOW, so it must be that they're one of the factions getting a new character or unit for the Dawnbringers supplements.

 

[Tk'ya'pyk]

I, for one, welcome the new Cities of Sigmar humies... as kitbashing material for my Skaven-themed Imperial Guard army!!!

I certainly look forward to seeing what you do with them! I'd also suggest the Necromunda Cawdor Gangers for this purpose, as the new plastic ones instantly gave me a 'human skaven' feel. Plus, Bomb Rats!

Amusingly you can just use Stormvermin as the base models and source the arms from elsewhere.

Interesting. It looks like it. Maybe GW is finally getting around to updating Skaven as well as Lizards?

Why yes, but you need to realize that my Skaviir Dominion army is officially old enough to run for public office. That was my first warhammer army, started in 1993. I've got parts from the original Necromunda plastics and most of the 5th edition fantasy and 40K sprues in that army.

Or you could do what I do, and mix them with, say, Tempestus Scions?
