If you look at the link they have all the expansions ready to go! That's one hell of a release, even if it is all already made.
Looks like some of the expansions that were really hard to get are coming back aswell which is nice.

Well that's great news. I was just getting into talsiman when they pulled it from the shelves. I really wanted some of those bigger expansions. Looks like I can get them now!

Time for another round of gender politics discussion in miniatures gaming  

So many new releases, even just within AoS recently that I can't keep up with. Passed on Blood Bowl, can't do 40K and Aos, and Necromunda might have to be ignored as well. Blight War, Firestorm and what is looking to be a crap ton of Shadespire are now joined by a very tempting scenery bundle and more Warhammer Quest cards. I need a better paying job or someone to put me out of my misery!  

The current consensus on the forums and /TG/ is "Awesome!"
I'm sure someone will kickstart the generic anti female character memes soon enough and we can look forward to some delightful insights into the minds of timmy the eternal sperglord, But for now all is well in the realms.

Also I just really like this mini.The paint it a little thick (Or should that be THICC?), but as with all GW releases the studip aintjob is normally hiding a very cool figure.

I've been toying with the idea of sculpting a female Darkoath like that for a while....guess I won't bother now!

There'll be the noisy 'not another female character' crowd and the 'I want a female equivalent of every GW model' crowd and somewhere in the middle there'll be the vast majority of people who just think 'cool model'.  

I'm wondering if this figure is part of some small thing or a bigger set or game box.

I think it's one of the special characters they mentioned a while ago as coming for each alliance next year. They showed the death one a while ago , And with the teaser of a new ,shadowy AOS logo, I'm wondering if we might be getting a new starter set...

[AWu]

If they are changing the logo I am guessing something akin to Blightwar

That chaos female is just brilliant
I don't like the latest aos khorne stuff at all, it's all bloodskull mcskullstab but she's great

[Elbows]

Don't care for the lady (a bit...stereotypical I guess), but I dislike the Darkoath Chieftain dude as well.  Just rather uninspired/boring miniatures.  Sounds like there is story movement in AoS, or a new army inbound etc.

[beefcake]

I always hoped Cathay would be a part of the Warhammer armies. I guess a new army inbound being Cathay would be a bit of a stretch

That Drakoath guy is one of more popular base miniature in Inquisimunda crowd.

I agree that he is quite uninspiring... but I saw people do wonders with him..
Go figure..

I'm in the middle, it makes sense as chaos is very equal opportunities I dont think we need female equivalents of everything(why not do something entirely new?) not sure it would work for things like dark elves as all wytches are female.

I'm with elbows in that neither does anything for me personally, the darkoath chieftain is too big/detailed while the warqueen looks a bit like she was ripped from the latest marvel film, both I think with the right paintjob/conversions could look great.

I'm wondering if we might be getting a new starter set...

The logo looks a bit Nurgley with that tarnished finish but a Nurgle themed starter right after Blight War? Unless there's going to be a bunch of new Nurgle models released. I know people are clamoring for pestigors and I've wondered whether we'll see some kind of Nurgle warrior types beyond just Blight Kings. Maybe fantasy versions of the Pox Walkers from 40K? Plus a few things do need updating. Beast of Nurgle is in dire need of a new sculpt as every version since the original 80's one has been utter crap. Great unclean one also is currently no match for the new big demon sculpts and things like Epididididididi-ma-jig are a bit shite by modern standards. January release plus battletome???

I'm with this fella.

Also, I'm sorry GW, but the "Warhammer Hero" image in the article is just too hilarious.

[Kommando_J]

I have to partially agree with Fram in that although I dislike the mini its a nice change from bloodskull of the skull bloods, wielder of the skull-reaping bloodsword, scourge of the skull reef upon the blood shore of the red ocean...of skulls.

[AWu]

They released a set of skulls recently.. for all you DIY skullgluerry

Maybe they are temporary out of skulls ? :O

[Edit]
Some genius in FB group I follow made most GW thing with the new Skull set
