>>98264556
Complete speculation but I think they will wait until the next edition to launch Kislev. It’s going to be a huge release and I imagine it would get a lot of people into TOW who are waiting specifically for Kislev. So probably smarter in their minds to wait for the next edition.

No, it's mostly because they were painted wrong. The trim is nice, why did they go with such a low contract colour scheme? Also, they tried to go back to the 5th edition aesthetic, but they gave up halfway through. I already have a chaos army. I love chaos warriors. These ones don't do it for me. Chaos warriors are supposed to be chaos warriors, not barbarians.

The insistence on painting chaos models in metallic colours is going to backfire.

I've thought of trying to do chaos warriors as Sons of Horus. Teal armor, burgundy/dark-red cloth, etc.

I actually do like the heavy metal look of generic undivided guys though. I'd probably mix in some brass trim etc though.

They added Cathay shield to the "force of good" side, but which faction does the new shield on the "evil" side belong to ?
>>
>>98266006
maybe >>98265873 ?
>>
>>98266014
Norsca? It has 8 spokes and is round like a viking shield.
>>
>>98266014
Ogres? AoS got new ones, so the old fantasy models might make a comeback here?
>>
>>98265975
the detail on the old models felt more isolated imo which kinda made it a tiny bit easier, at least for my reptile brain. Its kinda more spread out on the new models.
>>
>>98266014
It's a Chaos Marauder shield.
>>
>>98265818
>>98266008
Also means we'll have a decent heavy infantry for a change.
>>
I feel like it's kind of weird to make Cathay the other part of the box. It's perfectly timed so that everybody who was interested in Cathay probably already got them. Or maybe they're hoping to get new people? I don't know, I can see there being a lot of people interested in just the WoC.

So that's Ogres and VCs with an almost complete new range for AoS. DElves are probably next.

To be real honest. My gut tells me they are not going to expand the legacy factions at all. I think they are going to stay shelved for good. Maybe it’s for the better. I would love to play Lizardmen and Val’s rules are great. I think they need something still to really customize the army. Like sacred spawnings and other things.

I really wonder how this new arcane journal is going to shake out. Will there be rules for using a herdstone with WoC? The line about

Maybe trying the mixed unit thing again, with marauders/warriors (or even gors/marauders)?
>>
>>98266253
Im guessing they mean things that are like mutations, but are instead army wide modifiers. Maybe something like all core get MR 1 cause you're Tzeentchian or unbreakable ungors cause your nurgle. Sort of like the marauders upgrades, but at a boss level. Hopefully get a choice of like, 20 options to mix and match.

That's honestly the best thing GW can do for this game, because it just means the community will continue to collectively tell the rules/marketing team to fuck off & write the rules for legacy factions themselves, keeping it a fan regulated game rather than competitive tryhard sloppa like 40k
>>
>>98266331
Oddly the new ogre mounts were mentioned to be "effectively replacing mournfangs" on the stream. I think there's been a wider trend of aos technically squatting a unit only to introduce a """new""" unit that's very obviously meant to be its replacement. Barrow guard/knights instead of grave guard and black knights, spawn of sotek instead of salamnder, aggradon instead of cold ones... could point to something.
Idk, I wouldn't give up hope yet. and I say this as an aosfag
>>
>>98266299
>>98266331
I mean they literally announced a complete Ogre range refresh with a new look. This frees up all of the old sculpts for TOW easy. I think it's more of a timing problem, re-releasing 20 year old models isn't very glamorous at all and I imagine pretty much every single other GW release gets priority.
>>
>>98266052
hoping they'll do a few new kits for ogres, since iirc they said the beastclaw stuff was staying AOS and the teased big unit might mean a replacement for the mammoth kits?
Or not lol, though at the least ogres need the some of least retcons to add to TOW
>>
>>98266430
The problem is that the new ogres effectively kinda cannabalizes (heh) the older ogre range.
You’re also gonna have to deal with an ample amount of older ogre kits in the market, and that’s before getting into the fact that people will resell the older kits which will congest gw to sell them for a looooong while.
>>
>>98266411
I just want an updated model range for Lizardmen that rank up. The saurus warriors and temple guard are old. The new ones I hear struggle to rank up. The stegadon is too small for what it is. Arguably that’s all we need. New saurus, new stegadon, maybe salamander and razordon. Skinks a maybe. Won’t get that with no new Lizardmen. Just Seraphon tm (Lizardmen). I’m dooming hard bois.

I like the new ogres. God, I love big scary cannibals. Might try to fit a unit into a Orc and Goblin or Vampire Counts army somehow. Maybe not a whole box, but I could want at least one of them for a Mordheim bodyguard. Say what you will but the poses and proportions are just about right in my estimation... The new helmets on the armored ones are kind of out there but they seem totally optional. Don't like the cavalry much, but I've never liked Ogre Cavalry since the last big release during 8th. But those infantry, dripping with guts and cleavers, are pretty neat. Very Texas Chainsaw Massacre, very Death Metal.

Are Seraphon that popular, or at least liked by GW? Then they should renew Lizardmen then.
Besides I like Lizardmen, but I can get into Seraphon: They are supposed to be (mostly) ascended light beings, empowered by their god, And I would think of lizardmen with more magic or magitech; But since AoS release and onto today, Seraphon are just Lizardmen with extra detail, only some minis like the Slann. Skink Priests and some decoration minis look as I mentioned.
Other factions in AoS are cooler & original, but Seraphon are just the same old lizard in general.

Jabberslythe is definitely the beastmen dragon equivalent. Ghorgon is also up there, but doesn't have the right niche to be considered THE big beasty for the army.

I would like to see a beastmen specific greater chaos spawn that gets to choose from a list of mutations instead of gods. Like 10 pts to pick from a block of fly 8, swiftstride, or ambush and another option block of 15 pts for a weapon that gives +2 strength AP2, always strkes first, or Armored hide 3. Maybe a block that adds a tail attack, giant mouth, more stomps, or more impact hits. You get the idea.

Beastmen dont have a dragon equivalent and thats fine. Neither do empire or orcs or bretonnia (no, griffons/wyverns/whatever dont count)

Not every army has some singular definitive "superheavy monster", not every army needs one, and not every army should get one either.

(specifically referring to those blister kit ones - see also the chaos lord, nurgle lord, chaos sorcerer, dark elf sorceress, necromancer, skinp priest..., not the "box that makes a dude" like the orc general/HE prince/empire general ones, those were from 7th afaik)

They have the arachnarok, but I do think they should get the rogue idol.

They have a fairly unique superheavy monster in the steam tank.

That said, I do agree not every army should have nor get one. It's an interesting point that beastmen get just a large number of monster choices instead of a superheavy, though you can make an argument for Ghorgon, Shaggoth, and Minotaur Doombull as being super heavy.

Doing some thinking however, what if GW is banking on people learning about Ogres reinforcing Cathay, seeing they're only legends in TOW, but see them in AoS AND getting new shiny units, so they'll go spend some cash on AoS by proxy due to TOW?
>>
>>98267478
Nah it’s more like GW updating the most popular army first (WoC) and promoting their newest full range
>>
>>98267233
>When the fuck were Chaos warriors so huge???? Looking at their Battle March cover art, looks like they even tower over Orcs by scale.
They are essentially space marines sized and powered. They are however not space monks, they even have families and foster kids of their own, wholesome when little bjorn kills his first neighbor
>>
>>98267517
Sounds good to me
>>
>>98267513
Realistically i would imagine Ogres are the next to leave legends at the next part of the story after this 1.5 edition update where it looks like Chaos is pushing Cathays shit in. With the ruinous powers still waning the moment some chaos resistant large lads show up they are fucked.

Hell give us a young greasus as the hero.

>>98267533
The degree to which they are !space marines is (somewhat fittingly) inconsistent. Wulfrik drinks and fucks with the rest of them, others are genuine posthuman monsters who dont need to eat, sleep, shit, or procreate and simply exist to kill for the dark gods.

They have families, but for many of them it simply means "remembering the clan you came from" rather than going out, kidnapping a bride and making some baby chaos-warrior-lings.
>>
>>98267546
>A Young Goldtooth savant unites his clan with a daring new concept: instead of eating people they pay us to eat other people
>>
>>98267551
I dont think Wulfrik *needs* to eat, he just does it because by fenrisian standards hes a gourmand.
>>
>>98267559
I dont know if he needs to do it, but he chooses to. Which is something not all of them do.

Many are basically posthuman, utterly beyond mortal needs, magically fused to their armor and very literally powered by slaughter.

But chaos warriors are - by design - a very diverse and loosely defined group. It covers everything from the guy with symbiotic demon-armor to Sven the Axe murderer and his fancy new hauberk Bjorn made.
>>
>>98267575
I think for both its a case of "warrior culture" versus "indoctrinated weapons". Some like the Exorcists are not people at all. They aren't intended to be. But the Luna Wolves were schooled by Sindermann because Horus before his fall wanted educated men not weapons. I imagine for WoC its the same. Fryydal might value ingenuity, cruelty and spontaneity but another warlords might want something closer to uruk hai.
>>
>>98267584
I dont think chaos warriors are as "top down" as space marines. Space marines are created for a purpose, chaos warriors do what they want to be doing and gravitate towards like minded groups.

Sven the Viking is more likely to join up with some guys who are more or less normal.
Bloodfeast Skullmurder the Rapekiller is likely to join up with the guys promising eternal battle 24/7

A chaos lord cant make his followers one sort or the other (both literally and figuratively), but they are likely to attract like minded souls to their banner, and even then youre likely going to see some "cross-mixing", any given chaos tribe probably has a couple of the posthuman weirdos and any given extreme warband likely has a couple of "normal" guys who are simply joining up for whatever ends serve them.

I think Ogres and Dark Elves coming out of legends could both tie into Cathay focused narrative well.
Ogres raiding from the western border, Dark Elves raiding from the eastern coast. This could even tie into two more dragons getting models, Zhao Ming for the west and Yuan Bo for the east (or if they want to get neat they could do Yin Yin instead since she is more sea oriented than Yuan Bo.)

It's extremely front heavy from a learning perspective but its not a difficult game from a rules perspective and is really fun once it starts flowing. It does have rules lawyery issues if you play with the wrong crowds, but every game is like that to a degree. It also has good army definition and a great setting. If it hits your aesthetic taste, you'll probably like it unless the rules escape you.

round, I saw both sets on round bases.
>>
>>98267849
True but the spiky mass looks nice depending on how spiky and way its painted. The trim not being contrasted to the rest of the armour and/or no glowing eyes makes them lack a focalpoint or aspects breaking up the different parts.
>>
>>98267881

Then you're in the wrong warhammer thread, we're all square based over here. If it was fantasy you want age of sigmar, if it was scifi you want 40k.

The New Ogre’s actually look pretty neat if it wasn’t for them obviously not being viable for squares. I think it’s lame the butchers abandoned the whole “no gut plate” aspect of their design.

Kind of nitpicky but I don't like the wooden shields. For how heavy on armour they are otherwise, they look a bit flimsy. Just go all in and give them dumb metal slabs. Well, easy enough to switch out I guess.

Place your bets now, gentlemen. Will they give chaos warriors full plate? What about 2 attacks? Will they be removing their access to marks?

Maybe I'm just getting old but I'm starting to think this hobby isn't really intended for me anymore. These things are so over designed it's actually absurd. Literally not one square millimeter on this model is flat or smooth, it's entirely covered in over designed superfluous "details." It's like the new GW team never learned the golden rule of design or art, that "less is more."

The new Northstar Hussite War models look cool, maybe it's time I move over to historicals. I did turn 30 this year

You know what... I think some of them are female.
One of the cleavers, gutseers and 3 of the gluttons appear female to me. Clearly no facial hair, narrower shoulders but also torsos narrow enough that the gutplates feasibly cover their nipples (some of the wider shouldered, obviously male gluttons have exposed nipples). And then the female cleaver and gutseer have cleavage under their aprons.

>>98267094
>>98267121
I like the models overall, but I think now it's clear they made the gutplates 'reasonably' unisex, so they had to be high and big enough to cover boobs.
>>
I don't like new models.
>>
>>98268695
They really look like an 8th edition kit and probably were one that was done but never released.
>>
>>98267802
I like the new warriors more, I never liked the bare 6th ed warriors that much, I get why people did, but I don't.
The new ones have some nice variety and look straight out of an adrian smith artwork.

I don't know what /wfg/ hivemind will eventually decide is fact, but my first impression is these are some of the best warhammer fantasy models I've seen.
I feel it perfectly encapsulates the "Adrian Smith" chaos warrior concept into model form.
The only problem I've seen so far is that I'd like the Chaos Knight horses to be in more of a gallop.

I think the AoS Warriors are a good update for the 6th ed style of Warrior, and TOW warriors are cool with how they are bringing back the 5th ed style.
>>
So is the battle march box plus the core set an ok way to start cathay and warriors of chaos?
I mostly wanted to collect wood elves, tomb kings and chaos dwarfs as those are my favourite total war factions but these were my 4th and 5th choice
>>
>>98269384
There would probably be cheaper things to do that, since if the new starter set is the same price as Saturnine, it's going to be £200.00 and the HH combat force boxes are £105 to £110 you're already spending £300+
>>
>>98269341
He is right with the first part more or less. I agree there were more pressing issues with TOW than old chaos warriors' minis. With an exception of the dragon, which was long overdue. But other minis weren't that outdated, I would rather see GW focused on bringing back legacy armies.

That being said, new minis are gorgeus.
