It'll be interesting to see if Spearhead improves upon Combat Patrol, by providing some options between games.

Chunky rule dump next week. And i'll take a bet on Prosecutors reveal tomorrow:

really curious about faction terrain because that's something that has desperately needed a rework. the rules reworks so far have been much more hit than miss, so i have faith that they're doing something decent here

Called it:

Lovely looking style, also looks like a choice of having an open faced helmet, which is new.

ITS A BEAUTY!

That's a great sculpt, but the helmet doesn't look at all stormcasty to me.

The body is fine but those wings look awful compared the old versions IMO.

"Standby, my Hawkmen!"

The wings look more sturdy, but would rather have Stormcasts with face masks. Very nice indeed.

If it wasnt for the these comets (espscially on the wings), it could have been a great sculpt. Now it's way too gaudy

Great looking models

You think there's going to be one that isn't dumping the rules in the bin and LCTB on most of it?

oh, that's gorgeous. i was hoping there would be a model to rival Yndrasta in the new box and unless they reveal something even better, this is that. adore the wings

They don't look as imposing as previous to be honest. Almost like downgraded. Not a fan of the helmet, wings and new body.

in the preorders article yesterday they mentioned that we'll be getting new rules for faction terrain, so we know that's not happening

is there a closed helm option?
i didnt see one in the pics.

and thats a female... ugh. tough looking face

Do not like the helmet, especially those spikes on its sides.

Complete improvement in my opinion, but I hope there are more traditional masked helmets included in the kit for the sake of it too. EDIT: Didn't pay attention to the image the Mad Doc posted, if they've got masks in the art, there will definitely be an option for it.

Oddly enough, the inclusion of the magic effect somehow makes them more grounded for me, even though it was never in doubt that they were powered by supernatural means. A shame for anyone who hates painting special effects, but fortunately I'm not one of them.

I kinda liked the scrolls as a flightstand more than the rubble. And I hope you'll be able to give them hammers rather than spears, they seem to be taking a lot of the character out of SE and making them more generic Souls-like gothic knights.

The main one is easily my least favorite of the 3. Overall this is totally my style.

Yes

Also which one is Skyre again?

Not a fan of the cockscomb, but that's easily removed. Those guys look quite sinister - I like them.

the techno rats.

Oh in that case it's either Jezzails or the ratling gun next week.

I wonder if the gun has a second build?

Easily missed, as it’s a footnote.

I'd be surprised if it does out of the launch box, but if it gets its own dedicated kit, then maybe.

Glad to see the rumours of new Sanguinary guard were proved. True. 😛

Well he has point. Elsewhere much more positive interest. Here same complains over and over.

Yet you and him have the stance of coming to this thread on dakka to complain about dakka negativity just to only to be off topic and err complain.

How about you guys get off the high horse and drop the act?

I didn't complain about anything. I said it was nice to see someone with a positive outlook for a change. We're not the ones gazing down from on high.
