EccentricCircle Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 We really should have organised a letter writing campaign to ask them to split the voting into categories this year! I completely forgot that this was a thing. I think 40k wins on numbers alone, but I agree it's great that our system has a plethora of options for best model, even if that splits the vote. It does seem as though the most famous space marine always wins, even if the model isn't that great. 40k has very dynamic stuff like the new carnifex, but it's not a space marine, so gets overlooked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also always a big centrepiece model that wins now, even if there have been extremely cool units and heroes released as well. Kinda makes sense that those big center pieces are the ones winning, they are literally made to be the eye catching minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo this kinda discards Skaven and fits more into a Nurgle model. And the tri-lobe Nurgle symbols… sorry Skaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that means it is 40K or if Nurgle is getting more in Dawnbringers 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it would be just the book, imo it could be Skaven, but adding the larvs... too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean that non centrepiece models don't deserve an equal amount of appreciation. Multiple categories could allow those to shine as well. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if the heads are too small, or since the Cavaliers are much taller than the Steelhelms, I hoped they'd be a nice fit Stormcast have giant bodies but their heads are sized the same as everything else. I've headswapped many things onto storm cast and it looks great. I think it would be fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsicle Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The New Rumour engine matches pretty closely to what is on the Rotbringer Sorcerer scrolls, so +1 to Nurgle. Hopefully getting something either in Dawnbringers or a new Battletome 🤞 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taerg Ad Ywons Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Could be a plastic Festus the Leechlord? Then again the hand is pretty slim, so perhaps it's something for Warcry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over on Bolter and Chainsword there's a lot of love for the Harbinger of Decay. And lots of acknowledgement that overall AoS has had the best models this year. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotz Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 at first glance it looks like a skaven hand, but they have 5 fingers, and the rumour looks like it has 4 like nurgle demons... albeit its less blocky than current minis, but mortal nurgle (sorcerer, rotmire) dont have claws...

JerekKruger Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 12 hours ago, Snarff said: They should really just make separate AoS and 40K categories (and maybe even separate votes). No harm in it, both settings get more love, GW gets to show off even more of their models, everybody happy. This. By all means also have a best overall, so that 40k people can feel special, but I want to know what the most popular AoS mini is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstu Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Yeah I think tiered/category voting would be great. I'm always torn by these votes as I'm also wanting to big up factions I'm interested in so GW see they are popular. There have been so many great kits this year and centrepiece models wouldn't be the first I'd vote for. The lictor redo is awesome and looks like a wonderful, versatile kit. The Harbringer of Decay and the mounted CoS Marshall are beautiful models I'd be tempted to buy just to paint up, they are stunning. I also really like the Votann killteam kit though as it is so fun and characterful and adds a lot for so little.. I mean you go through the list and there are so many kits that you think .. oh thats a belter as well! Being able to give a wider spread fo votes would be much better!

Vagard Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Btw, are we still waiting for 2 new warbands before the end of the year?

I doubt we would get them announced on the next preview, but at least this time it is saying 23-24 on the roadmap, so we would get them announced in Jan.

cyrus Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 So with the miniature of the year poll out , we can safely say that 2023 year releases are over : I counted 51 entries for AoS in the poll and it's probably the best performance for AoS of every time/since its launch ! 🏆🥇 We already know that early 2024 will bring FEC full release and Dawnbringers book 4 featuring Ushoran , but what next ?? I have been counting the " minatures for at least 12 factions" and I come up with the following : 1) Fyreslayers - Harbinger 2) Nurgle - Harbinger 3) Fec - Harbinger + Ushoran 4) Gloomspite - Harbinger + Thrugg 5) Orruk warclans - 5 ironjawz kits 6) Stormcast - Ionus 7) Sylvaneth - Belathanos Based on hints , rumors and rumor engines 8 ) Slaves to darkness - Lady of Ruin 9 ) Daughters of Khaine - Morai Heg 10) Ossiarch - Morghast hero 11) Khorne - Kul ascended 12) Skaven - Plague priest What do you think ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brotherhood of Necros Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think someone on here suggested there would be 13 factions represented in total, and they listed them all out in emoji form, although I wouldn’t be able to cite that.

That was @Nezzhil, who suggested the other six would be: Khorne, StD, OBR, CoS, DoK and Skaven. When I asked if they were "teasing or speculating", they replied "Both, always both", so... take that as you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
