GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

In the Primarch's defense, he has a giant rock going up his tail pipe, that might throw of one's aim.

 

In fairness, what kinda primarch lands buttfirst on a rock?

edit:aside from a certain obvious daemon primarch

 

Touche!

 

Carrion Empire is coming next weekend with both Skaven and Flesh Eater Court Battletomes, endless spells and scenery pieces!

 

That terrain kit is nice!

 

I like how the skaven army is only 6 models. Admittadly it is the first box like this I've seen where a side has multiple big dudes. It is an interesting one.

 

Certainly is - it would look great in Warhammer Fantasy games as well!

GW are really spoiling me now - two of my favourite armies getting releases in around the space of a month!

The first time that’s ever happened - Skaven being dubbed an ‘elite’ army...

 

There is me wanting to go get the Troggoths once saved up but The Great Horned Rat calls! Makes me wonder how Moulder and Eshin will run, how I did had the plans on building an Eshin army, I think I have about 40-60 Night Runners.
The boxset, not sure yet on buying straight away.

 

Has there been any news yet on how the new skaven will play actually? Cuz I'd love to actually make them into a fullfledged army now.

 

Agreed. They are just as applicable to WFB as AoS. A very nice terrain kit.


Two favourite armies? Gobbos and Skaven? What about Dwarfs?

 

Wow that terrain kit really does look amazing!

Interesting what happened to the hordes?

Maybe the bigger models make it easier for GW to make huge amounts of

 

I expect that will be revealed either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on whether they want to talk about Skaven or Flesh Eaters first. Sunday is always next week preview day and they rarely talk about anything else then.

It is almost certain that Fyreslayers will be getting an update probably in the next few months as Flesh Eater Courts are to be updated very soon, and a lot of the Gloomspite Gitz units are modelled trashing Dwarf statues, so I’m sure GW are teasing a Dispossessed update at some point soon where they release a whole new lore section charting the new war between Dispossessed and Gloomspite Gitz in a Battle for Skull Pass rematch.

 

Hey! don't let the ghouls behind you! (without double tapping).









Something interesting to see is that Zombie Dragons will be Battleline under certain conditions.

Wonder if this scenery piece is the closest Khorne players will have to a Skull Throne...

I really liked those zombie horses.

Also, why didn't anyone posted our favourite Forge World addition?





That's right! Stormcast heads! Huzzah!

 

It may just be me but, speaking as an IG player who's been looking for decent female head sculpts that don't require cannibalizing whole other sets to obtain, I'm not a big fan of most of these particular heads.

 

Haven't those been around for a while?

 

Yes I think they’ve been out for a couple of weeks, but they were never announced here before. I think @Cristhian MLR is just getting everything up to date.

 

There is a bit of complaining about the Flesh Eater Courts at the moment, most of the complaining being the lack of new models. I can see where they are coming from. It is a small army, there is talk about the Ox-like creature pulling the cart in the artwork for the cards.
It's a debate whether I should pick up the FEC book also, just in case I want to run my Rourvuk Carrion as them. Will be picking up their Spells and scenery piece. Oh yeah the other few complaints I heard was the throne, not many like it...

 

I was a little surprised by this, but I believe Carrion Empire and the Battletomes are just being released this week as a filler to go with the rest of the Genestealer Cults stuff that is also coming. They may develop on this next week with some more Flesh Eater Courts stuff, just as they did when they released the Gloomspite Gitz book and some models the first week and then released some later waves of models in the following weeks.

Nobody can be sure of whether there are new models or not until people first start reading the Battletome and look to see what units have profiles in it, unless GW start teasing some new models in the Flesh Eater Courts discussion coming at some point this week.
