Grimhold Exile rules leaked.

6 wounds, 4 move, 4+ save, 9 Bravery

5 Attacks, 3+,3+ Rend -2 Damage 2.

Once per battle, when picking this unit to fight, pick 1 enemy unit within 1" and roll a dice equal to the wounds characteristic of the unit. Mortal Wound on each 4+

Once per battle, Friendly FS units within 6" can run and charge later in the turn.

4+ Ward to any friendly unit that has within 3+" inches with 3 or more models. (Doesn't specify Fyreslayers)

Seems solid, but depends on the points.

Did I miss something, or is this new terrain in the background ... or just some studio terrain based on the Domicile Shell kit?

They've shown some non under-construction terrain in previous pics. I don't think they've said one way or another if its a studio custom build or a new kit.

I suspect its another Ossiarch Bonereaper situation, where they custom made terrain for that release, and the terrain will feature more prominently in the upcoming Cities of Sigmar promo shots.

Would love to be wrong though. Love me some fantasy terrain.

edit: Harbinger of Decay looks to be getting a new warscroll, with its new model. Can't make out the details in the leaked pic on Facebook.

From what I can decipher the model can choose between a scythe and a bell. Bell gives a once per game 14" bubble of -1 to move/run/charge. Scythe is 2" 2 3+ 3+ -2 3 with no additional caveats. Character is 7w 8"mov 3+sv and 8brv. At the beginning of the fight or battleshock phase a unit within 3" can't receive or issue order on a 3+. Unique spell is cast on a 3+ 14" subtract the bravery of the unit by the number of the current battle round. Attacks are the same as before.

Looks like some Skaven reveals for the July 1st preview show.

Not for Warcy thats order vs destruction for the first 4 warbands. Might be that the Chaos Warband for WHU is actually Skaven? or could be more Harbingers?

Its definitely skaven. You can see their triangle icon on the sewer lid. I'm betting it'll be for WHU. We already got the basic skaven, and clan Eshin. They could do some really awesome stuff with plague monks

It would be pretty cool to see some new Clan Moulder stuff, right? >_>

Plague monks, censer bearers and rat ogres pretty please.

I do enjoy this obsession they've given grots with glass. It's kind of endearing in a way.

These new human colonies don't seem to be having much luck.

Some realm specific units, or even upgrades, for City's of Sigmar would be cool though.

That's the point really. Like 1 in every 100 settlements may get a foothold and grow into something. But the vast majority are going to end before they even get going.

As many as one in a hundred? I think that’s doing better than the Old West of what would become the USA.

Pre orders are up in NZ.

I wish they'd go back to having 360 views of models on the website, but being able to look at sprues is fine.

It's so weird to say that I want a fyreslayer model, but seeing how the Grimhold Exile's bits are laid out on his sprue makes it look like my conversion idea will be even easier to pull off.

For those interested in the four new Dawnbringers box sets, here is my review: https://taleofpainters.com/2023/07/short-review-dawnbringers-box-sets/

I also included high-res sprue pics of all the four new character models.

The litd ed has sold out already. I am genuinely quite surprised.

360° views have been absent a lot lately. I hope GW isn't dropping them for good. I find them really helpful.

I can only assume its a management choice. GW has a whole internal studio setup so in theory they can just setup a camera and lights and fire away, esp as they generally seem to use one lighting setpu for them. Processing them should also be fairly simple with a whole dedicated studio and set lights and such. Perhaps the fact that GW is using less and less artwork in books and pushing for more scene designs with their models means that the studio is getting full of diorama setups which take longer to setup and light which then have to be torn down and rebuilt - eating up all the time that they'd otherwise use for product and 360 shots.

I do agree its a pain if they lose it, I've always said that GW are ahead of many competitors by offering 360 views of painted actual models on their store. Not just renders or 360renders and such

It might (i'm saying might, not stating it as a fact) have something to do with people making 3D-print files for GW models, that ought to be much easier with a neat, professional 360° view in high quality.

Unlikely. You need way higher scans to achieve that. At least to achieve it with any amount of quality and without a massive amount of editing. I know there's a few firms advertising random photos turning into glorious 3D models but I don't think the tech is anywhere near there yet (though it might one day so perhaps GW is future proofing).
That said it wouldn't really stop anyone; anyone going that far could easily just scan an actual GW model.

Looks great. Any chance you'd be able to show the inverse side of the sprues as well?

Let's get these in here. Frankly Tahlia is mini of the year so far for me.

Can't believe that the manticore is actually just a manticore and not some random unique AOS monster.

Did they show off her hammer? And are the weapons she uses meant to be taken from Chaos cultist?

"The fiery sword Parchtongue, taken from the Archmage Zanta Faloria. The greataxe Justice, wrested from the so-called Bloody Duke. The heavy mace Warmaker, claimed from the corrupt treasurer Venalius. The Hammer of Zeal, a trophy of the ex-Pontifex of the Cults Unberogen"

Maybe they're just meant to be from CoS champions that were craven or something. But the mace keeps returning to her hands and that's pretty strange.

I like them, they give a good old Confrontation / Cadwallon feeling.

I will wait for the full release to see what else will be included as new units, though.

It's good to see we will have actual full Sigmarite buildings as terrain in the future, too.

Hot stuff, really like the look of everything bar the bog standard infantry heads and lord knows in today's 3D print dominated custom mini landscape that's a really easy fix!

Manticore is a nice surprise and... well, I'm sold. Bring it on!

Dude with the pot is really cool, the manticore is fine, too. Finally a silver lining for CoS.

The whole range has looked fantastic so far, but each to their own.

Yeah, my favourite from that box. Angry innkeeper is a close second.

I really dislike how they paint female faces, especially black/brown ones. Somehow, they make all of them look like Whoopie Goldberg, which kills my suspension of disbelief somewhat. And you need all of that for AoS
