I wish the DoK were getting a new infantry/cavalry unit along with the new hero. This is one set I'll likely have to hunt on ebay for the character on her own or just wait till she goes on sale. I just don't need more khinerai nor doombolt riders. Sisters of Slaughter I could do with (I've enough witches), but with khinerai and riders I don't need, any price saving is moot on this set.



Still very glad to see DoK hanging in there and getting new kits and it is nice to have a range of heroes now that are outside of the Cauldron set.

Could ask around if people want those? Riders you can sell to cos players(that's where mine will go) as well.

ROF2 non-repeating crossbows that don't appear to feature a crank or anything to draw faster? OK, then...

Oh true you can trade stuff away. But I don't really want to buy a whole boxed set just to trade everything away barring one or two models from it. I know its financially sound, but eh it just feels "scalper" kinda wrong to me. Generally when it comes to duel sets I either, rarely, want both halves or a full one half to make it worth getting - then I can often swap the half I don't want for the a mirror of the one I do.

Here it's common to split boxes even for one model. Halves easier but all works. Win-win for both as everybody saves on cash

Oh very true and if I were in a big enough active local club chances are I would. Right now its mostly reliant on online sales and its just sometimes more hassle finding people and putting things in boxes (and finding a box the right size and packing material etc))

They're spectral, they don't weigh anything or have an actual pull strength.

As a side note, it seems like the kit will actually have some options, rather rare for Nighthaunt... or they've already made two different kits, because for the life of me i can't see where the guy from the article fits into the group shot.

It looks like he's second from the left.

Nah, their cloaks have rather different shapes, the guy from the group shout has it billowing to the left too much

Also a hat.

Well, that part can be more easily explained with an alternative bit than his lower half being different.

It could be like the chainrasp kit, where you can either make the bloke with the candelabra or in the stockade where the back half of the body is the same, but the front half is different. IF that's the case then I'd think the mystery Crossboo (Thanks DaveC, great name!) is possibly the banner bearer.

Could just be the angle (and a different hat)

Season of War: Thondia:

Nighthaunt Character:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/03/24/a-terrifying-new-nighthaunt-character-emerges-from-the-briny-deep-at-adepticon/


I dig the Incarnate, minus the floaty skull thing in the center. Loved most of the Incarnates that were released by Warhammer Forge years ago and I’m pleased to see a return to that concept. Hope we don’t have to wait years for all of the realms to get an Incarnate though.

Nighthaunt character was pretty neat. Puts at least 2 rumor engine pics down.

I like most of the terrain, though I still can’t get into the “mid construction” buildings.

I also like the incarnate minus the floaty crystal bit. It really disrupts an otherwise awesome mini.

I mean, it's more Swirly Bull Gak™, but otherwise it's fine.

I want that Megadroth spine...

I am not fan of the Incarnate but I like the new terrain pieces. Big beast skeleton should look nice next to BloodBowl Ogre Field or, as someone pointed out, in Necromunda Ash Wastes. I haven't dipped into recent AoS terrain yet because I have been waiting for a big boxed set. This could be it.

I can also imagine using this terrain in Warhammer the Old World in few years time. Not Old World per se, but previously unexplored areas such as Border Princes.

Incarnates? So they're going back to what FW did initially a few years back? Scenery box is nice, but would have been nicer if it was all new and not half a repack. Ferryman is cool, nice for the Nighthaunt. But this definitely feels like a 40K year. Especially as it looks like even more bloody space marines.

Is this Season of War book the first one for AoS?
(They are already doing something similar for 40k, or is it here it’s already started?)

Keeping up is hard with all these books and campaign story things.. A concise list somewhere for both systems would be great really, like a books release order list etc.

This is the first for AoS, yeah. There's really not that many. 2nd ed only had the Archaeon one and the 4 for Broken Realms. This is the first for 3rd.

Ok that’s not too bad.
Yeah I think it’s 40k that had all these different warzone things and then maybe something else too.

We'll see how it differs to Ghur being current season in GHB.

The Crossbows don't ignore bodyguard rules, huh

Props to the guy who pushed his commander aside before a crossbow bolt flew through a solid wall.

Incarnate is neat but I'm not buying the terrain bundle for it.

Ferryman is really cool, they've been killing it (heh) with Nighthaunt hero sculpts lately.

Which is surprising in a way because 3rd was supposed to be heavy destruction focus not more Death. And interestingly more Nighthaunt who got a lot of stuff early in 2.0. Darn it GW if you're going to add bones and do Death do OSSIARCHS


I do worry that this book needs more than terrain and the ghost ship model, a little more just to round it out. Esp as with Nighthaunt getting 3 new models likely means that there's a new Battletome for them right around the corner.

Kind of wish the Incarnate was an actual model not a terrain quality model and in a terrain pack. It's not the worst thing, but GW's terrain isn't as high detail and their history of supporting it is spotty - things on the terrain list vanish overnight sometimes without warning.

No kidding. GW already like month or so ago confirmed DoK and Nighthaunt as the 2 spring battletomes

I forgot about that update

But yep and DoK was a surprise in that because they only just got a new book at the start (just before). So that reminds me its a double surprise for them that they are only getting a character (unless GW is really holding things back)

So Nighthaunt are getting 3 new items...and Idoneth+Fyreslayers could only manage one each?

Interesting.

I really like the new nighthaunt models. The crossbow dudes are kinda cool, the scribor mortis is creepy (not sure why it needs candles on its back if its holding up a lantern), and the ferryman is really cool. Looks like he's part of the prow, as he's got some creepy snake/spine skeleton bones going up his back.

If his rules are good, I can see some people just proxying the old endless spell model instead. Not that the new model isn't great, but I don't know how many skeleton boats people want. Plus the skeleton's oar actually looks pretty lethal, no offense Awlrach

That's cause Nighthaunt get three new units in their Battletome and Idoneth and Fyreslayers just get one each, duh.
