Baron Klatz Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Lost Sigmarite said: less varied, Tbf, a lot of the upcoming Thunderstrike releases look like Vanquishers+ With either regular masks or something attached to the top of the mask, or beard masks. And indeed there’s much less helm variety than even AoS1 Stormcast had which included everything from alien-like protector helms, animal helms and dragon helms. The classic Stormcast had more variety than that between bulky Warrior chamber, sleeker animal helmed Vanguards and the wizard robed & ghost-catching armed Sacrosanct. This makes sense of course. Grungni made the Thunderstrike in 12 days to counter the encroaching threats unleashed upon the Realms and even the many wraithful NightHaunt forces still lurking about after Nagash’s defeat. Compare that to the 400 years he had time to make regular Stormcast and you can see why he could embellish the armors like crazy. But I think they could update many of the old models into more energetic versions. A lot of the Stormcast lines date back to 2013 before they overhauled their production machinery in 2016 that gave them even more impressive sculpts afterward. I’d love the AoS1 units to get a touch up with that new equipment. Like how amazing Gardus Steelsoul looks. And with the new detailing they could finally make a lot of stuff look like their art such as the OG Knight-Vexillor who looks waaay more intimidating than his model which was still using older production equipment at the time.

Goatforce Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Was hoping to see the Soulblight book but oh well, maybe next week! Can't wait to see Seraphon but think the box will be mid-late next month, after the 2 death books have dropped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cities come out in October/November, WarFest seems to me as soon as possible to begin the progressive reveal of the army. Especially since once Death BTs are out, there won't be any AoS news to show until COS (except the probable Gallet War Season and his incarnate spider). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I think we will be seeing quite a few minis from the 10th ed. launch box over the coming weeks. Not expecting more Cities until Warhammerfest, although since they don't really have any other AoS news to drop until September-October when CoS are expected to drop (barring a potential FEC release beforehand), I really hope the range refresh has the weight to be able to be stretched out until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love the AoS1 units to get a touch up with that new equipment. You've make me change my mind. It's just that the old SCE models where limited by the way GW handled minis back then. I liked some of it, like the animal helmets of the vanguard chamber, but most of the pre-2016 SCE look too bulky, clunky and static for my taste. And fair to say, most of the models don't live up to those artworks you posted. Imo SCE started to really get into their own when Sacrosanct released. The poses where more dynamic, we got more female SCE and I love the talismans and togas/robes they wear. Overall, I think a mix of different armor patterns would be great. I would make them less like soulless which was one of the biggest criticisms of Stormcasts at launch. I like me some variety and dynamism. And it would be the occasion to introduce some new ideas too, like new armor patterns, new motives... It would fit the theme, since SCE have a big Greco-Roman vibe to them, and those people used different patterns of armor across the ages, even in the same time periods. Like for example, I never understood how vanguard hunters could be sneaky going around in massive golden plate armor. And please GW, a pet dream of mine, please redo the Dracothian Guard with actually dynamic and varied poses.

Can I just say, I would love some thunderstrike prosecutors. And potentially also a thunderstrike celestant prime.

RileyArlic Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 1. Necromunda almost got me into the game a couple of times. Corpsegrinder Cults were incredible... but were so busted that none of my local groups want me to play them. I'm happy for people that enjoy them, but jeez I can't get excited about anything they release for that game... except the terrain XD 2. Incredible that the WE Combat Patrol still isn't out, especially since they've already confirmed that the Codex is only going to have a 5-month lifespan. A friend of mine on a budget was depending on that combat patrol, and now they don't even know if they're going to get it before the new edition. 3. I'm sure that New Model Monday will return to more Necromunda and Blood Bowl stuff. There's still a good number of rumor engines left to satisfy, even though a TON were resolved at Adepticon. Would be nice if they used the Model Monday as a way to reveal upcoming Space Marine and Tyranid stuff. 4. The wait for Seraphon continues to be painful. I was hoping we'd see the Death battletomes go on preorder, but I guess that'll be another week out. I have SO MANY QUESTIONS about the new Seraphon, and more than anything I really want to see the new color schemes that GW have produced, to get my creative juices flowing! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xking Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I hope some of you guys are joking about replacing stormcast models that are basically still new. When there are other models that have not been updated for far longer or there are armies that barely received anything at all. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more like, if GW is going to keep making Stormcast anyway (and they will) they might as update some of the clunkier models instead of bloating the army further with new units they don't need. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
