Bosskelot Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Really sad that Pestilens and Eshin are ignored but everything shown off looks great. Pleasantly surprised that stuff like the warp grinder and doomflayer got updated too. I was almost expecting them to just quietly retire them and focus on the "classic" weapon teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 What I'm glad is that the SG Warhound Skaven rumours weren't 100% correct - it allowed me to be surprised by the new doom flayers. I know some of you wanted wolf rats and I understand that, but doom flayers fit the same niche in being one of the rare fast Skaven unit, and because come on hamster wheel motorcycles of death ! It's absolutely unhinged, and you can't be more Skaven than that ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Amazing models. Awful preview. Why was it so rushed? Why did they keep jumping around with non sequitor questions. Just do it logically, design, then lore, then rules. They didn’t even talk about some of the units, which still don’t have picture on the community site. The kill team tease does a disservice to both communities. On the positive side the minis are all stunning. Vizzik doesn’t disappoint. An amazing centrepiece. The acolytes, the storm vermin and especially the weapon teams are all amazing. The only thing that seems to be missing from the early leaks are the wolf rats, but they’ve done way more with the weapon teams than I was expecting so I guess it’s a fair trade. The only things I’m not a fan of are the bald head of Krittock and the dangly arm on the terror. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying for the S2D treatment where Skaven get a 2nd wave at the end of edition campaign, Darkoath style, that covers Eshin and/or Pestilens. I'd more see them in Warcry though as my neighbour poster above said. Remember, the plastic deathmaster exists, they haven't forgotten about the master Splinter rats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 All the new stuff looks pretty great, I especially like all the Skryre models and stormvermin, Vizzik looks more or less how I imagined him. Interestingly no sign of the wolf rats from the list. Now we await the Stormcast, which unless the rest of their release gets leaked as well it should mostly be a surprise as to what they get. Hopefully they don't get leaked since it does take a bit of the wind out the sails of the reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSolarMach Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 WarCom article says that "...certain miniatures will break free of the confines of the Skaventide box set alongside these releases, including the Clawlord on Gnaw-beast, Rat Ogors, Clanrats, and Ratling Warpblaster, alongside Thanquol on Bonreripper and the Plague Pack." Do they mean Skabbik's Plaguepack? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Will they reveal the new SCE piecemeal over at WHC or is there a Con or a preview somewhere in the near future where they can show the SCE and as importantly, a BT roadmap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrozatarim Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Fantastic miniatures on display. I am particularly delighted that doomflayers now come in 2s, since that also means it might be possible to reinforce them to units of 4... Similarly, the weapon team batteries might mean they come in groups rather than just single teams, which I vastly prefer to 'stick a single one of these guys as a whole unit slot for a regiment'. Amazed that they're also updating the warp-grinder! Really happy that's not getting squatted. My only two disappointments were, firstly, that the poison wind mortar didn't get moved across into a 'special weapon' for globadier units, and the lack of rumoured wolf rats makes it more likely we will get those as a Warcry unit instead of gutter runners. Sad not to see any Eshin or Pestilens but I understand why they wanted to focus on just two clans here, and this was such a good update to Skryre and Moulder that I think it bodes well for when the other two getting updates eventually. Amazing minis. Now I just hope the rules are polished up enough in the battletome to match! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captaniser Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Quote When Kragnos escaped from his mountain prison in Ghur, he unleashed a wave of primal energy that was felt even in Blight City. A protean daemon of ruin emerged from the heart of the Masterburrow, and only prayers to the Great Horned Rat could quell its rage. When the Vermindoom secured the Skaven god’s place in the pantheon of Chaos, he shaped this daemon into Vizzik Skour, Lord of the Gnaw and Prophet of the Horned Rat. And people say that Kragnos didn't do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought Skaventide so idk about the sprue layout but they did this in Dominion with Yndrasta and the KB characters on foot. Edit : when the hell are they updating the news article ?

Ninja edit: I think only the Warplock Engineer and Grey Seer share a sprew, IIRC the Jezzails are good to rock n' rule on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 38 minutes ago, Beliman said: To be honest, they are already over-the-top. The frankenstein and master moulder are crazy enough, and that verminlord is crazy. Yeah, but what I meant was there is zero difference between what Skaven was during Warhammer and what they are with AoS. They are in the exact same boat as StD/WoC and to a lesser extend Seraphon. Perfect dual use for TOW and AoS. Sadly the TOW Skaven legacy rules are a bit boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because Skaven are already perfect. You may not like it, but the Skaven bodyplan is what peak performance looks like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarouan Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Been a bit surprised at the sentence on WarCo : Quote But what’s bad news for the denizens of the Mortal Realms is good news for us, because we get to see all the new Skaven miniatures to be released in the next 12 months 12 months ?

I wasn't expecting much named heroes after Tornus, but seeing what happened with the Skavens maybe we get a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
