Nice Kharadron model.

They're also fighting bats, I wonder if this Battletome cover art will somehow match with the Soulblight Gravelords Battletome art somehow. Would be something kinda neat.

Between this and the store-birthday model with the little ship in the KO model's hand, KO eating pretty good of single foot characters.

Looks about like what you’d need to play a typical game of 40k anymore.

Its a nice model- I agree the paint scheme throws it off a bit. I initially found it a bit jarring after painting up Votann which are much more utilitarian. I like both though- nice to the variety of Dwarf looks - Steam Punk, Nasa Punk and I still have my WFB dwarf army. All good to me. This guy I might get two of - one to build and one to convert. Kharadrons are such a cool culture I really hope they get a proper wave of models tp expand the range out a bit.

I wonder how much the Regiments of Renown will cost? The dispossessed one seems like it'll go great with the start collecting set (which I think would also give you every dispossessed model GW has left). Plus, every model in Norgrim's Rune Throng has multiple build options, giving you access to ironbreakers or irondrakes, and longbeards or hammerers. Even the runesmith has options for different heads, right and left hands, and the tactical oathstone is optional

The Dispossessed one is even better if you have access to a 3d printer, as I know for a fact there are Ironbreaker body STLs out there to make use of the fact that the only bit the 2 units share *is* the body.

This was a huge missed opportunity to inject a little bit of life into the ranges that got gutted when Cities of Sigmar got dropped.

Plastic Prince Maesa with Wild Riders, anyone?

Also, the two new Warbands from WarCry have their generic AoS rules now. They're under the downloads section on the Community page.

Looking forward to the Hargax's Pit-Beasts box!

I'm guessing these are AoS offerings similar to the boarding patrol sets for 40K, so if the WC Monsters are 82.50 individually then £65 sounds about right.

Hope it's not too bad. I was already tempted by the zombies but now I get a cheaper corpse cart to go with them? Yeah, might grab that when it comes out.

Also, warscrolls for the Vampires and Khorne guys from Warcry are up on the Downloads section of Warcom, and an update to the GHB FAQ is up too.

Those vampires are nice monster hunters, and there's some hints to what might be coming in the SBGL book.

"The Hunger" is changed to heal wounds based on how many wounds *and mortal wounds* that the unit does to the enemy, and in the base warscroll there's no way to do mortal wounds, so I wonder if that's so that vampires can do mortal wounds with spells or other traits and heal off of it? Will be interesting to see.

The Vampires are going to be absolutely disgusting, given you get 40 healing wounds with a 4+ save and a 2+ Fights Last for 360pts (reinforced unit). God forbid you're playing Kastelai like me and their monster hunting ability starts stacking up!

Oh, and the Fights Last currently triggers at the end of any charge phase, not just your own. I kinda expect that to get FAQ'd, but hoo boy that is gonna be fun while it lasts.

The healing wounds part is really underwhelming actually. You can't bring back slain models with it, so at best you're healing 1 wound off of an ablative guy, or if you're very clever and brave, healing 3 wounds up on one of your cursebloods.

You'd also need to sink 360 points into the squad to get the 2+ fights last, which is... a lot.

I'm mostly interested in how the change to the Hunger will apply to future vampire lords and such. It's nice to be able to heal on doing any wounds, not just killing models.

Mind you there's lumineth unit that has reference to doing mortal wounds(wards can't be made against wounds and mortal wounds caused by this unit) without single way to add mortal wounds in the book to that unit.

Could be future proofing plus copy&paste standard phrase.

Yeah, didn't catch the timing change on The Hunger. It would be a lot easier to get it to work on the Cursebloods if it still happened at the end of the combat phase, so you can allocate wounds to get them down to 1 or 2 pretty easily without actually killing them. Still some utility during the opponent's turn, where they might not be fighting first.

Anyone know what model the Maleneth conversion is based on?

I think the body(with different arms) is from the Underworlds DoK sorceress, but I can't place the cape or head. Arms look like they are from any Witch Elf kit.

Arms and body are from the same Underworlds model:

Allied into an army using Curse.

Salamanders!

That's a fantastic update.

Absolutely adore those little axolotl frills

Unique handlers are great too

Only one pose with a two head options by the look of it, but still a significant improvement over the current situation, so I'm happy

Fingers crossed for Razordons too

SING HOSANNAS!

Not only a popular request, but a popular request well realised.

So two head options for the Salamander and two staff options for the priest of Chotec. That's awesome.

I wonder why these skinks have different crests? I thought it would be something to match the creature, but generic skinks would actually be a better match. Maybe since they worship a sun god, the crests sort of resemble the sun? Also, these skinks lack the ear holes that all the newer skinks have.

Just that. Their crests show their spawning purpose.

If I may quote the article, GaroRobe...

"The Sun Acolytes who handle these sour-tempered salamanders are marked for their duty from birth. When the stars flare and the spawning pools boil, the skinks who emerge are blessed with incredible resistance to heat, as well as frills that resemble Chotec’s own sunburst. "

Another great addition to Lizardmen. Keep it coming GW!

Ah, that'll do it

The Salamander is ace, but I don’t care for those Skink frills.

Yeah these have been absolutely on point so far, well worth the wait!

I hope they fully show off Coalesced paint schemes soon. They've only teased the paint scheme so far, and although I'm sticking with the OG lizardmen colorscheme, I'm curious to see what an entire Coalesced army looks like

That's really good. Seriously amazing model.
A nice headswap as well (jaws and frill).

There are two problems with it, though:

The left legs look fused onto the body, without a decent undercut (whereas the right legs look like separate bits).

That fething rock. While not as bad as the beast of nurgle, that rock is going to dominate every instance of the model without a fair amount of work.


The fluff is amusing as well. From the cyber skull implant to directing the things with a laser pointer, like a semi-feral cat.

And remember.

It’s not sighing.

It’s merely idly collecting phlegm at the back of its throat. And when it’s got enough?

It’s going to gob at you.

I love it!! A little homage to old lore and the old dimetrodon-looking salamander while also being unique from the Total War: Warhammer salamanders and having some nice new details to match it into the AoS setting!

The laser pointer + fitted cyber enhancement is a little goofy but I dig it! I can't wait to see how people paint this guy up, and I can't wait to get my own!
