GW News: SKAVEN VICTORY! #NewAoS

And yet we had a Chaos Darkoath Chieftain doing exactly that in Silver Tower. If they can do that, then I'm sure they can think of a reason to side Death and Order together.

HOWEVER

I realised it's actually the model for the Dark Elf Fleetmaster. So no new models in the art; potentially no new models in the game. That would be disappointing.

 

The enemy of your enemy is your friend only as long as that enemy exists I can see a Death-Order arrangement to route out a larger Chaos threat but turning on each other as soon as Chaos has been brought down.

*imagines a Quest box with Death and Order factions fighting against Chaos but with fragile alliance rules*

I'd welcome more Death models too. They have such a unique aesthetic and great imaginative potential for each of their armies, it's a shame they appear to be on the back leg for now.

 

There HAS to be a new model, at least one big, cool model for a boss fight. I mean, what dungeon crawler dosen't have one? half of the villian cast (and a third from the hero cast) from Silver Tower didn't appeared on the front cover, and it would be weird to have only two

Personally I'm hoping for they to add a Slaughterbrute, or perhaps a Chimera; a big monster is always good for a game like this.

And you should read the full article; this game is full Order vs. Chaos, because Chaos is trying to reclaim one of the cities founded on the las Season of War (and that is totally awesome).

But that being said, Destruction and Death forces also failed to gain one of the cities last season, and that means that they could also get a new WQ, campaing and even an update. Death really need to get some good stuff soon, Destruction can (but dey'z ain' wantin') a bit more; Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz and Beastclaw Raider are on a good spot, the last two specially since they've got artifacts and traits. But Death only have Fleash-Eaters Courts, worst yet, they don't have any exclusive rules yet.

But I'm sure that GW is working on that, I mean have you seen this month? they pumped up hard both AoS and 40K, and they will keep the pump on during February too!

OH!, also, to close January with a golden clasp: Start Collecting! Daemons of Tzeentch is on the way!

 

Where did you see the Start Collecting for Tzeentch?

What is going on with the Cast-On-Demand (or whatever they called it) program? Did it quietly go away?

 

Looks pretty cool.

I see this and all I'm thinking is I hope the riders legs are not molded attached to the mount. If they aren't I might make some Wolf mounted stormcast....or lion...

 

And you could probably sell the mounts for a pretty penny on Ebay.

 

Woah, I can barely see the differences between both posts!

Well, surprise, I like the Stormcasts, I liked the Lord-Achilor quite a lot, but I didn't liked this mount quite a lot, it needs far more feathers Imo, and those horns? lol nope, but I can see they have hooves instead paws on the back limbs. And the paint job here does NOT help, it looks far more like a plucked chick/cub griffon than an adult individual.

Is this a big demyhippogryph, or should I name it "gryraffe"?

But this guys look friggin' awesome!:.



There is also a new ranged unit, who looks quite better than the previous Judicators for me. That raptor bird is lovely and their ballistas are using a support pole, which adds a cool and a thin realism layer, although... yeah, the poles could've been even better, but still the weapons themselves look awesome.



Finally, this week's Rumour Engine: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/01/25/rumour-engine/

Looks like a back view of a Chaos Terminator, but there lots of people expecting to see Abaddon soon... we should keep our eyes keen open.

The funny part? next week is february.

 

Looks like he beat me to the punch!

 

I feel like they are trying to bribe me into liking Age of Skirmish by making it all about griffons, Gryph this, Gryph-that...


I can't dislike these creatures [...because gryphon...] but I liked the Gryph/hounds better.

 

Do not fall to the dark Jar Jar side of the force!

 

There's three sides to the force...! No wonder those darksiders are always so grumpy.

 

That creature looks kinda like a skinny Bretonnian hippogryph without wings... could work with a conversion.

Don't forget the storms...

 

Huh. What?

The Stormcaste dudes? Those are a disincentive.

This latest Gryph creature also seems to be suffering from a case of Roided Out Minotaurean Muscle Syndrome (ROMMS). First seen in late eighth edition minotaur kits ROMMS manifests as lumpy musculature which seems to have no skin covering, additionally the muscles appear twisted and distorted. It is an infestation which seems to be spreading from one model kit to the next. The transmission vector is not known.

 

I actually like the aesthetic of the incredibly steroid addicted Warriors, creatures, Woodlands lol it makes it feel like these things have had no time for rest and relaxation just constant combat 24/7 all the time stay tuned to this channel to see more... but I don't like in the new chaos models they just seem to put random skull sticking out all places

As it is I'm still new to this hobby only been in about a year so i dont have nostalgia goggles fogging up my enjoyment of the new line
