GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

Or cancel seraphon!

Just joking...........

.............probably

 

even if they think that they could at least just give us a reprint with accurate texts.. we need something like 3 or 4 seperate books by now and that's ignoring the amount of errata's and F.A.Q.'s... Just having it accuratly summerized in one place would already be helpfull.

 

It is a pretty cool piece. I'm glad GW finally gave you some more Dwarfy stuff!

Personally I think the forge looks really good, but I'm not a fan of the lava monster at all.

Nice!

But only cancelled to make way for Stormcast Seraphon!

 

You could also use it as Chaos Dwarf scenery, as that big beard could be seen as a Chaos Dwarf beard and the Chaos Dwarfs love their industry, especially if it belches a load of black smoke.

Why’s that, I think it’s a pretty good model myself.

 

I think I should probably focus on acquiring some Chaos Dwarfs first!

I don't really know. I just don't like the look of it.

 

I found a height chart that compares the different greater deamons.



Poor manlet Skarbrand.

 

I think the Lord of Change is the best of the bunch!

 

I agree. The Bloodthirster is a close second, then the Keeper of Secrets (although I think I actually prefer the mutated gazelle head of the original model - this one looks like they’ve tried to make it too sexy) and the Great Unclean One dead last (I honestly can’t stand the exposed intestines and other internal organs that Nurgle units display).

 

I just forgot, it’s likely that GW will bring back the Doomseeker for Fyreslayers (as he’s been put out of stock for a while after Silver Tower disappeared) so I imagine that’ll be one extra model we get. Whether we get Gotrek I don’t know but here’s hoping at least the Doomseeker will come back.

 

Another thing I forgot to mention, here’s a plastic Chaos Dwarf @NIGHTBRINGER - the first one in probably around 10-20 years (on the right ):

 

To be honest, aesthetically, I find that Chaos Dwarf to be absolutely awful. There are so many more superior options available from other companies. All this is purely personal taste of course, but I pretty much hate everything about that model (the pose, the tattered armour, the weapons, the dangly bits coming off his wrist armour, the beard, the Christmas ornament helmet)

 

Not much to say about the new keeper of secrets...
Insufficient boobz 2/10 - not tempted

 

One of those is a man boob... so would that not make it 1/10?

 

Slaanesh is very open minded.

 

And how do you feel they compare with their Forge World counterparts?

For me:

Lord of the Change - GW version is better
Keeper of Secrets - Forge World version is better
Bloodthirster - Forge World version is better
Great Unclean - both versions are about on par with one another

 

Fair enough, he is admittedly vastly different from the Persian Chaos Dwarfs we know and love, but I just wanted to highlight the fact that Chaos Dwarfs (of a sort) are returning to plastic. GW are probably seeing how this chap does in sales first as part of the Warcry team and may well make a whole army of similar Chaos Dwarfs if he proves particularly popular, so at least the option is being considered.

I would say roughly the same although I prefer the GW Bloodthirster as he’s in a more epic pose.

 

I wonder how people will react to it, being that they differ so much from the established Chaos Dwarfs. Personally, I very much prefer these models over this new GW variant:

The Forge World models are still my favourite though.

 

How about these chaps?
