The blades of the Thrall's weapons are OTT and the eyeless heads still look odd. Perhaps they would have been better with helmets that cover the eyes.

I'd like to know when the Van Saar and Kill Team are released.

The deepkin are up for pre-order, with what I thought had to be a misprinted price when I first read it - Eidolon of Mathlann yours for merely £65.00.

I quite like the Thralls, but I really like the shipwreck, and it's reasonably priced at £25.00 (I actually thought they'd swapped the prices on the shipwreck and the figure). I have no idea what the warden figure is doing, although carrying your own ink supply with you makes sense, I suppose  lol

Still waiting patiently for the Van Saars, can't be too long now.

For some reason the Idoneth Deepkin are the first thing that GW has released in ages that has me really wanting to buy into something of theirs for ages. I cant see myself playing AOS but I can see me getting some of those new releases to use elsewhere.
I love the Thralls and Shipwreck and do not think the price is too bad.
 :)

The Warden fella is great but I am not paying that much for a single figure and that big fella is a great idea but insanely priced.
  :o :o

Saying that, I may cave in on the beasties, though, as I really like them.
Especially the big turtle thingy....
 ::)

What am I saying???

Personally while they look nice the deepkin are not for me, i'd just like to know when the rest of the named bounty hunters are out for necromunda, finally be able to use the rest of gang war 2...

Having read the background I quite like the sea elves, although as usual for modern gw they are very ott in both fluff (a magical sea comes onto the land) and design.

30 quid for ten plastic models though, is that the new normal as well? Problem is I'd rather spend that 3 quid per figure on old models I don't yet have. Or non-gw plastics.

Price is a tad steep ,But that eidolon of mathlann is absolutley gorgeous. It's such a coherent and elegant design,With the various aquatic design elements being so well meshed together, I could probably look at it for a good few hours and pick apart all the wonderful little motifs on his armour. And the water is fantasically done and
He's also quite a big bigger than i thought, I imagine he's a similar height to Archon the everchosen (minus the wings and a fair bit slighter.)  Not exactly £65 big but a very very good centrepiece figure.

I think the deepkin are going to be a popular faction regardless of price.

(Also £25 for that shipwreck is lovely. I'll be getting one of those for my town of mystport! )

The water on the figures: how are painters of average ability or worse supposed to make that look good? There are going to be some expensive but iffy-looking models gracing the gaming tables of the world. GW take this approach to 'centrepiece' models far too far.

I have no interest in any of the fluff for AOS, it all sounds like a load of tosh to me, but I do like some of the figures for use in other settings with a little imagination.

30 quid for ten plastic models though, is that the new normal as well? Problem is I'd rather spend that 3 quid per figure on old models I don't yet have. Or non-gw plastics.

It does seem to be the norm.
For GW.
Plenty of sensibly priced plastics out there, and GW stuff is available much cheaper if you are patient and wait for people to get fed up and sell them on on ebay.
I have picked up a load of Stormcast for conversion at very cheap prices that way.

I admit that the idea of painting that wave cloak terrifies me! But when i started the hobby it was the big kits like that that I aspired too. Big centrepiece kits were what i always wanted to paint first but bought last ,partly cus i had to save for them but also because i wanted to make sure they looked the best! :)

I can easily see a new player looking at the new nurlge army, the daughters of khaine, or the deepkin, and building their army , learning to paint as they go, then finishing it off with that final special kit.

With AOS they really had the scope to make a new faction completely different to anything else. Maybe some sort of warp creatures that aren't chaos or something new born out of the breaking of the old world. Maybe the future will see something like this?

Well they teased a model that is a literal ball of pure magic, So they're certainly pushing the crazyness in some areas.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Well, that does sound better than a floating stone head with the features of David Copperfield... I guess they cannot copyright the latter, even though "it's magic!"
