I haven't had much interest in Fantasy Battle since 1992, up until the new undead that is. I think they're pretty damn awesome.

I have to agree about the undead.
In fact, I have some.....

Had a look for the first time in a few years - what with undead being my first love and all - and I agree, they are very tasty. Bit busy, but that’s a given and easily fixable.

Yeah, I know I normally defend them when people say the normal stuff is too much. This is just ridiculous. It's literally just a special weapon infantryman.

Funnier still when you see that one of the 15 pound (or $50 NZ ::) ) is included in the 20 pound squad of 5.

This literally is a case of dartboard pricing.
Not that it matters.
At this time of year everyone is broke and would struggle to pay bills never mind anything else.

Last Christmas I bought me a squad and a command squad  ( i had to  lol )

Happy I did despite them stil;l being silver.
I would like to get  more but its this or something Slaaneshy and I lack only heavy weapons of less use for ma Inquisimunda purposes. But I would like sergeants but not for 15 pounds each..

On a more positive note the new AoS Grot Faction ''Gloomspite Gitz'' seem rather good

I like what I have seen so far...I even kinda like the metal noses (well...dislike them less) given the focus on the 'Bad Moon'. I shudder to think how many grots you'd need for a force though. I guess Skirmish might be the answer there.

If there's one subject that does well with excess, lunacy and cartoonish exaggeration, it's Gobbo squig hoppers. I'd say they capture the spirit nicely.

Rather pleasantly surprised by these Gobbos, expected them to be a lot more 'funny' in a bit of a kid friendly way like some of the Nurgle stuff. Instead, they're weird but very much malicious too. Not bad, not bad at all.




Some of the dice designs of late are a bit much though, having two pictured sides (1 and 6) is difficult enough, but searching for the particular pattern of irregularly sized pips, nah.
