GW shadow dropped a new Stormcast Event model at Fest.

Shamelessly stolen from the Loot Group:

I like it, it looks refreshingly subdued compared to other SC characters.

So the FEC image was for warcry

I really need to stop wanting things. Once again Games Workshop has failed to send us our new releases. Will the shipment be late? Will it just never show up? Who knows! They don’t answer calls on the weekend. So now I have to decide if I risk waiting and missing out, or paying more somewhere else.

They say that is the cornerstone of lasting happiness

So what are your hopes for today's reveal? Mine are new Crypt Ghouls and Grave Guard.

I'm running into that with some of the store birthday stuff at my local GW - according to the staff member I spoke to yesterday, apparently HQ have managed to split things over 3 orders instead of them coming in one, and they're still waiting on pt 3 at this point.

Do we have any rumours about what's going to be in the new start collecting set for seraphon?

I know that the 40k codexes include a picture of the combat patrol sets and I wondered if there was a similar picture of the start collecting set in the new seraphon army book.

Since GW has already shown Cities of Sigmar models, I wouldn't mind seeing a whole unit of mixed humans, dwarfs and elves. Filthy little halflings, too, if they're still a thing in AoS. As in, actual commitment to different races living and working together in Sigmar's cities instead of the segregated holdovers from Fantasy we have now.

I really hope cities aren’t exclusively human. I want duardin that aren’t fyreslayers or KO. Hopefully they also won’t just be artillery crew

Except New models are humans. Worry is what non humans get cuts Off in book. New models unlikely

At least Ghouls got really awesome hero. Better than nothing I guess.

These are utterly wonderful! Gone are the ponies of old and enter horses as mounts!

Who cares about horses when there are pigs.

All four champions are leaps and bounds better than the four heroes released for Malign Portents (Which were the darkoath queen, knight of shrouds on "foot", the shaman with the fungal brain, and stormcast dude with a hammer, if I recall correctly)

Another new lad

Let's get all the pics in

What a letdown of a commemorative model. Nothing special or noteworthy about him; no vulture pet or super unique pose.

Which is great since many people won't get the chance to buy him, save through the Loot Group

That one needs some work on the barding - the very straight line on the lower edge makes it look like the horse is wearing an upturned bathtub

But that's easy to amend. The models are gorgeous!

Goblin is a must have and the Nurgle guy is going to be popular for the painters. Good strong miniatures there.

What happened to the fyreslayer face? Hit by a hammer or something?

Probably, he is a Slayer after all.

Fryendly fyre

He’s the Sole Survivor™ of his hold which presumably means that there was a big fight sometime so it’s definitely not impossible. Interesting that the way it’s described he’s leaning even harder into the old (proper) Slayer theming in that he’s out for vengeance after suffering a terrible loss.

you monster!!!

Liking the Dawnbringer stuff I could see myself getting all of those bar the Dwarf. Finally new Ironjawz

and I see that new terrain is in the background of one of the images hopefully it's part of either the Dawnbringers or Cities release

oh hell yeah, that looks like the same stuff from the BoK book

The walls look nice and clean, too. Pretty good for building larger buildings.

I like the little pig but not the orcs loitering on it. If you can assemble it without those hobos, that's a model to add to my collection.

Loving the Nurgle guy, a nice callback to a classic.

I like him, especially his grimace.
