We just not gonna talk about the new steam tank tho?

I assume that's a cogfort, totally not a fan of that design

It is.

The design looks better from the ground.

Euro prices

All 3 spearheads €110
Saviours of Cinderfall €60
Dawnbringers: Book V: Shadow of the Crone €40
Krethusa’s Cronehost €85

Saviours of Cinderfall should come out to $75 while the Cronehost is $110.
Couldn't find anything jumping out to compare to the Spearheads.
Should be $140.

Ouch. $75 is steep.

A big leak of course means a full reveal:

Going down the big pig supplement route

Really nice sculpts. Only getting 5 horsemen is a bit of a bummer though, given their historical role as a lighter cheaper horde cavalry unit. Would have liked to have 10 to a set instead.

I would like to think this will be cheaper than the usual launch sets, as there's no book, cards etc. But then, this is GW of course.

30 different heads for marauders, nice!

Well that's a fantastic range update. Wow. Gold all round.

Some really good barbarians there. If only I had these when I collected chaos marauders.

Oh man, that's awesome! My only minor quibble is I wish the Marauders had gotten archer options on foot and on horseback to go with them.

I was also a bit surprised they didn't include The Godsworn Hunt in the examples of add-ons, but then realized they aren't available anywhere. I hate that they stop selling the standalone Underworlds warbands like that. Even if they are direct only, it's still preferable to just discontinuing them.

EDIT: The updated concept of Scyla Anfingrimm is cool too. I really dig the idea of marauders who succumb to spawndom, but are kept as shock troops for their tribe.

I remember when they did those mystery boxes last year and the hunt were given away in every box.

So Wilderfiend are basically just more sentient chaos spawn? The main head is reminiscent of the old forgeworld great spined chaos beast

Nice release to be sure.

Oh yeah, it really is! My brain went to Scyla Anfingrimm, but the spined beast is probably a closer inspiration.

That reminds me that I have an old metal Scyla Anfingrimm somewhere in a box that I need to find now.

I really like these.

Yeah these are really cool.

At last faithful replacements for the Maruader kits! That looks like a really fun set and I like that it ties in with the animation too!

Honestly 5 Cavalry to a boxed set is where GW has been for Cavalry for a while now. Esp with the larger mounts they are doing these days, it doesn't seem that we'll get smaller units. I think its also not helped by the fact that Cavalry are not their own thing in AoS and big units are not a thing this edition.

I have a feeling that all of the marauder stuff in slaves to darkness is going to be removed and moved to Old world.

For what it's worth GW facebook team just said they will replace the marauders.

these models are all great, but I definitely wasn't expecting this announcement so soon after the first reveal. guess they need to get it out before 4th, tho

Yes please to all these barbarians! I don't care for the monster dude personally, but I do wonder what other heads the bossman has available.

One is a spiked skull mask/helmet as pictured on pg 201.

Darkoath looks really tempting.
Looks like a classic set up with a fun supplement a few months prior to a new edition, and then they make the fluffy rules obsolete for 4th edition and make it impossible to run a pure Darkoath list.

Hmm, neither looks particularly exciting to me. Fingers crossed that door number 3 has something I like better.

You can run pure darkoath now. You can run them in 4th too. Just better with more units.
