comparing it to the "old" Grey Seer, it's basically spot on... but that does raise the point that the existing Grey Seer isn't actually that old (okay well it's a decade old but we're speaking relatively) so i wouldn't have assumed it to be one of the priority models for a refresh

It may not be a new Grey Seer but a new Named Grey Seer.

New special characters would be neat.

GW seems to want a pretty strong character presence in their launch boxes. Marines this edition had a Captain, Librarian, Lieutenant and Apothecary. Necrons last edition had an Overlord, Destroyer Lord, Cryptek and whatever the new lieutenant equivalent is called.

At a guess Skaven are going to get a similarly large spread of roles. War leader rat, political leader rat, mechanic at the very least. Maybe ninja rat, too.

But does she float? Is she a duck?

Sword is quite reminiscent of the 5th(?) ed Grey Seer's, while pose and curly swirly bits of robe remind of a (mirrored) Thanquol (the one before the End Times version). I wonder if they'd just have a new special character Grey Seer on foot, or have something a bit more fanciful to make him stand out more. I guess a big scenic base is always an option anyway.

I feel like that Grey Seer is a bit cartoony for me, but to be fair it might be the very bright clean paint job.

Ahhh Hashtag MajicRat

OH JEEZ

Those are some nice stormcasts

Well they just threw everything at us haha

I loved the new SCE, but Rat Ogres are just MVP

Alright, well that's an instant two box purchase from me.

The Skaven side feels kinds small compared to SC. Would have thought we get at least one more unit

So the good news is that I like the other Stormcast more than the bits that had been previously revealed.

I don't have time in my life to do a Skaven army but they look pretty good, the Ogres are definitely a standout update.

Christ, twitch chat gives me an aneurism every time I glance at it

*Edit. I've just noticed the full size cypher lords helmet in the background. I require this.

First thing I do when I open a WarhammerTV stream is hide the chat.


Love the rat ogres, love that giant rat mounts are back, even if they're not quite Brood Horror sized

I like how the couch people enthused about how there were billions of them. But that game/narrative dissonance strikes again.



I'm glad I'm doing something else while this is running in the background. This is an amazingly dull format for driving interest or for providing information.

I also realized I have no idea who any of these guys are. I used to know faces and names for the studio, what they liked and what their focus, preferred factions and expertise was. These are just random guys running the show now.

Now they just reusing footage

50 skaven? Don't think they're doing too badly.

24 SCE v 50 Skaven and 4 bits of terrain on top of a two-sided board, the bood, cards and GHB.

I'm dreading for the price...

THANKS! is not half as bad as I expected!

I quite like that the new direction for the Ruination Chamber Gryph-beasts is the more shaggy Irish Wolfhound with more corvid avian aspects. It's the right kind of on the nose to hammer home the dour and fatal nature of their masters

Hm, can't say I feel a miss in any of these. Excellent all round really.

Unless of course that's the actual wholesale value and retail is double that, lol

Solid box overall.

Wonderful models, I could honestly see me buying at least two if not three sets, price dependent. I love all the models in there.

The Skaven models are superb (for both old world & AoS) and I can't wait to chop those stormcast up for my Slaanesh warriors project.

I'm just hoping the spearhead stuff isn't being included just as an excuse to bump the cost up to some insane price though. (Its of no interest to me- I'm still playing 1st Edition and will not be touching 4th at all outside of buying new models)

No sign of the leaked white cover core book though- was that replaced? Or is this the the FOMO set and the white book going to be part of the regular starter set at a later date?
