Humans, Hobgobs, and Dwarfs all working together? Hashut offers a more inclusive umbrella of unity than Sigmar does.

Wonder if the third Warband are going to be Lizardmen given how much they seem to be tied to the narrative of this release.

Hoping for something new but expecting the Chaos Legionnaires. The best thing they could do is show a non chaos warband and put that speculation to bed.

I wonder if the Centaurian Marshal will get released in this wave as well?

Humans, elves, dwarves, magic beings, treecreatures, hydras, lizards...you were saying?-)

It would have been nice if the Horns had included some hobgrots. Although not technically chaos-ified, it would have been our first official greenskins in warcry.

And since silver tower had the grot scuttlings, I don't think many people would bat their eyes

Non of those guys work for sigmar, they work with him - they migh tlive in the "cities of sigmar" sure - but it's a humans only club in Stormcast land.

Umm they live and work together...They aren't separate armies and nations but one and together.

There's enough lore out there that speaks to the often frought relationship between stormcast garrisons and thier host cities to make me doubt there is an entirely rose colored picture, but beyond that my point still stands: where are the dwarfcasts? The Gobcasts? The undisputed elfcasts?

No, no, no - you want inclusiveness it's Hashut all the way!

Wasn't the old lore that any soul could be a stormcast? So technically a dwar stormcast would look the same as a normal stormcast, since they get reforged.

I imagine that lore is retconned, but any AOS lore junkies care to confirm?

Chaos Legionnaires as expected and the Marshal

... only the trained eye would be able to identify the various leering daemon-faces across their armour as subtle marks of allegiance to the Dark Master.

A subtle as a police siren...

Wowie, Chaos Mortals in an actual uniform and armour

Really not keen on those sculpts, the feel a lot like some of the more awkward stuff FW puts out, the proportions just seem a bit off (and not just because they're chaos mutants)

*yawn*

So it's... dudes... and their thing is they're slowly turning into centaurs or what, or are they 10% horse on their grandmother's side, or...?

No matching belt buckles? What is this blasphemy?

Yeah, they feel like a throwback to the terrible WFB Chaos Warrior plastics.

So, re-imagined Chaos Thugs. Interesting idea, but lots of the horns on the helmets look clumsily stuck on.

They’re weird. I like almost everything about them if I just focus on individual parts but for some reason they aren’t working as whole models for me.

I think i like them?

Definite call backs to some of the earliest Chaos models from when I was young and you may have been even younger.

However, that colour palette. I don’t think it’s doing them any favours. Too dark and muted, and I’m finding it visually confusing.

Have the same feeling about these guys as I did the Darkoath.

There is a lot to like and most of its pretty awesome but there are a few things that just seem... off. I ended up really liking the Darkoath kit though, aside from some of the faces.

Love the continuing lore of Belakor sticking it to Archaon.

They seem to look better in the video than they do in the pics...

The brigandine looks great, but I think the models look kind of goofy. The guy on the bottom right of the first picture looks like a Disney villain, maybe Gaston. That chin!

I'd agree with this.

I think they're overcomplicated. The basic armour idea and the underlying helmet is cool, and that would have been enough. The added horns, spikes and daemon faces are too much, and I definitely prefer those with the leather boots to the ones with the metal legs - odd to have platemail arms and legs but not the chest!

the brigandine torso and plate legs was really common historically - brigandine being a form of platearmor by some people. I think those aspects of the models look great actually.

I only like the Horns on the leader, but that's mostly.because it matches well with a conversion I made a few years back lol

over all I like them, I'm.almost.certainly.getting some if just to play around with conversions.

Not a massive chaos fan but this new warband is appealling. Along with the Centaur monster( I love monsters! ), I'm already up for a purchase.

I've noticed that the Mindstealer kit comes with their warscroll, so I'm assuming Warcry is as simple as having the core rule book and the appropriate warscrolls?

Just imagine Quentin Tarantino wearing a helmet, and I think the image would be pretty close. (Well, either Tarantino or Handsome Squidward, take your pick)

Hm, they almost look good to me. Might need to see them on the board, but they seem so busy with too many extra details.

Wow, a warcry unit I actually like entirely. Im amazed. People actually in clothes and armor, a shock.

I think it's weird they're called Chaos Legionnaires so soon after they re-branded CSMs.
