GW News: magic and prayers in #NewAoS

There's melee focused chameleon skinks in Total Warhammer. Which is made heavily in collaboration with GW.

 

I've never played, so I didn't realize that. Thanks @PlasmaDavid.

 

Yea. Yea. When this set of chameleons goes on sale by itself I'm getting 3. As it is I'm going to try and get the new set.

I love the sneaky lizard bros and i want to paint them orange for no reason.

I really, really like the diversification of chaos cults we are seeing with warcry and whatnot.

 

Plus, the 40K ones:

 

Typical GW, Gods-awful Daughters of Khaine and Sylvaneth get Battleforces yet cool Fyreslayers don't (again because GW like boring Elves more than awesome Dwarfs), and the 40K ones are all Imperium or Chaos, don't say that they're going back to 8th Edition 40K again . Knights definitely shouldn't have got one over a Xenos faction, they shouldn't even be in in the main 40K game.

Also it makes no sense that Gloomspite get a Battleforce this year, or Kruleboyz (I'm also tempted to question Stormcast but they're Space Marine poster boys so GW will want them to have one anyway), neither of them got anything this year. Kruleboyz got their stuff and a Battleforce last year, and Gloomspite are yet to get a tome and will probably receive theirs next year.

 

typical that they throw nighthaunt a battlebox when the other death factions languish.

 

That's a good point, I'm sure they've given Nighthaunt a box for each of the past couple of years as well, when Flesh-Eater Courts and Ossiarch haven't had one in ages. Though this time at least it's justified as they got a tome this year.

 

Knights is awesome. This makes possible a Battleforce for Sons of Behemat.

SCE and Kruleboyz didn't get their share last year, and everyone else got their time on the sun earlier this year, except FS and IDK. GSG could either mean that they will get their Battletome soon enough, or they have stock they need to move.

The entire other three of them.

OBR had one just last year, FEC have too few models to work with.

 

4 of them total, yea

OBR
nighthaunt
FEC
soulblight gravelords

FEC need a range update, but i enjoy putzing about with crypt horrors.

 

Daughters of Khaine >>> Fyreslayers

 

Hey, look! Doomfire Warlocks. I haven't seen those before

 

The Skaven & SCE boxes look pretty good.

 

Debatable

 

Not according to GW.

 

But then we know how bad GW's taste is, look at how much they like Stormcast

 

I'm not talking about "taste". Taste is subjective. You hate the Daughters of Khaine, while I think they are one of the best AoS armies. You love the Fyreslayers, while I think they are the absolute most boring army in all of AoS.

GW only cares about sales. They're also the only ones with a full and complete worldwide sales record. They produce a lot of Space Marines and SCE because those things that sell more (if Lizardmen/Seraphon outsold SM, then you'd see a lot more Lizard content). Daughters of Khaine are a waaaay more popular army than Fyreslayers, so we see much more of them.
