When it was just the sprue you could still argue that it is better for GW to stay quiet but now they would probably want the new models to be shown off in the best way possible so a WarCom article Edited October 1, 2023 by Matrindur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope It is a new unit Yeah, these are good sculpts but I actually quite like the basic, animalistic, almost running-on-all-fours ghouls. They look fast and most FEC players have a million of them, so I hope they stay as a distinct unit, with these guys as a new semi-elite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great that ghouls are mixed now, but won't parents be shocked when their kids buy FEC ghouls and now they are exposed to a bunch of bare ghoul ****** ? I thought GW had dialed back on nudity, I mean, Khorne dudes and CSM holding severed heads are fine, so are Nurgle guys with their intestines out, but a tiddy ?

Oh no, humans have anatomy! Children will be traumatized (not). XD srsly though: Not even nipples so technically not nude. I like the new ghouls (loincloths, yeah!)

Satyrical Sophist Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I wonder how many spares you are left with to jazz up an old unit of ghouls. I think I saw someone counting heads and ending up with 19 or so? A head swap and an arm swap would make a big difference for old ghouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it is a clear replacement. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) I think looking at the Grymwatch and comparing them to these, I'd agree these will probably be a direct replacement. The new models seem a bit top-heavier, but their clothing (or lack thereof) doesn't look different enough to be a more elite unit.

SilentSentinel Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) The current basic ghouls do hold up reasonably okay but I think I do lean towards hoping that the leaked sprue is a replacement. I've just recently built and nearly finished painting 10 of the current ghouls and the mold lines are pretty numerous as well as there being some mold slippage in places (I think that's what it's called?). It would be great for the basic unit of the army to not require some extra clean up before you can paint them.

The Borumancer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I think that sprue is for the Crypt Ghouls. When a faction get a big refresh, the first units to be updated are regular battlelines: Slaves to Darkness (Chaos Warriors), Soulblight (Zombies/Skeletons), Seraphon (Saurus), Cities (Steelhelms), and Ironjawz (Ardboyz). Why? Well, battlelines are the core of armies and if you want to start a new one or expand it, you need to buy some of them. So, it's very profitable. This is a good hint that FeC will have a considerable amount of kits indeed. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EntMan Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Are these the Ghouls from the sprues that were allegedly found in a bin in Nottingham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Veshnakar Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I actually like the Crypt Ghouls a lot! And I'll be honest, I'm really hoping for a refreshed Fyreslayer range, INCLUDING the Vulkite Berserkers, but I doubt that will happen since we just got the new Vanguard Set. Unless they were desperate to offload Vulkites. But they are a pretty dated kit, back from the End Times in WHFB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep these are the ones, apparently they were actually bought at a car boot sale and then that original buyer ended up selling them to the current individual that's building them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are to Greenskinz what lumineth are to high elves. They're even pretty close to greenskinz in army composition, despite what their narrative might suggest they fight like. They could definitely work some more grots into the line though, they're all over the place as helpers and companions but hobgrots kind of took their place as a unit option. My post got a whitefang certified confused react. Maybe if I didn't ramble so much we could figure out what it meant 😅 Hopefully it doesn't mean spiders get the axe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW prefer to have múltiple regular battlelines and that's the point that makes me to think that this kit is a new unit Exactly, that's why I say that only armies with a big refresh get a uptade in its main battlelines, in this case FeC has only one. I emphasize "MAIN", because GW tends to let other battlelines without a proper update, likes the exambles as you say, for next editions. Meanwhile, Gloomspite and Sylvaneth have never had a big refresh, just "little" ones since they were released. EDIT: There are more signs this sprue looks like Crypt Ghouls for me: - Unit of 10 dudes with a lot of heads and weapons options, so it's a spammeable unit. - They ressemble the old Ghouls nearly 1:1 but "aosified". Just compare them with the transition of old zombies/skeletons to the new ones. But hey, if they are a new unit at least, it got better and better.

EntMan Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Do you think they'll spring a made to order limited run re-issue of something in the preview today, in lieu of a proper pre-order release next week because of the Space Marines on 2 week pre-order?

Clan's Cynic Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Underworlds: Deathgorge, Underworlds: Starter Set and ALL the announced Warcry stuff next week. Kruleboyz Monsta-killaz and Vulkyn Flameseekers confirmed for standalone, if there was any lingering doubt about that. Two seasons worth of out-of-rotation warbands are getting standalone releases as well. Hardback of Realmslayer too. Two-week pre-order on everything, so rip the supply chain.

It certainly frees up some space in the schedule. It also confirms something that Rob over on the honest Wargamer said a while ago. GW's supply chain is pretty messed up right now so the two week pre-orders are going to continue for a while, probably til at least the end of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Holy moly what a week! One of the best pre order weeks in a while. Pretty much want EVERYTHING on that list. So excited as well to see the new Slaanesh Daemons. That gluttony one is going to be superb to paint, and I had just decided to paint a Tzeentch mini. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
