John Lennon is standing first in the line..so not all of them for sure..

Finally got my Necromunda Gor today. Nice mini.
He took so long I’d lodged a PayPal dispute. 
Oh well; expensive resin bugger showed up.

German game publisher and distributor Pegasus Spiele announced a licensing agreement with Games Workshop to produce new games based in the world of enduring fantasy board game Talisman.

Pegasus Spiele will release four games set in the fantasy world of Talisman beginning later this year. The first will be a children’s game, designed by Lukas Zach and Michael Palm (BANG! The Dice Game, Aventuria: Adventure Card Game, The Dwarves), released in the second half of 2018. The other three games include an expandable card game, a role playing game, and a dice game. Release dates were not announced.

Necromunda got me in the mood for some more GW modelling and painting shenanigans lately. First time building marines in a few years and my god they’ve come a long way... the deathwatch guys I’m making are fantastic.

Only downsides are I HATE removing mould lines and if you do it badly on power armour it really shows :/

And also the bigger bases they’re putting everyone on means I’m having to put more effort into my bases which I’ve never enjoyed!

Apart from that, I think GW have finally won me back...

EDIT: Nevermind - read your link as 40K related, and it's not...soooo, nevermind.

They had 40K Talisman from FFG when it was out, so this isn't a big surprise.  Probably re-boxing it, or doing a very "not" copy of it. The game was called "Relic"

That's pretty darn colourful for a representation of the grim darkness of the far future...

Also known as 'Space Ludo'....

I have to be honest, the new marines are really beautiful. But overall I think I'm past GW stuff. That said, I'd LOVE to get one marine and paint it up, preferably a Mk6 pointy beak. I wish I had bought that anniversary mini from a few years back.... None of my mates in Nederland play 40k either otherwise I'd hit them up to trade for one marine... Oh well....

That was exactly my thinking, now a couple of weeks later I’ve bought about 20 marines and have a couple of characters on mail order XD

Aelven BT on the way. Christ do I cringe at the voice acting in those GW vids though.

You'd think they'd be able to afford videos with decent actors and production which doesn't result in such a noisy voice track...

Good news on the witch elf battletome, as long as it comes with new units that is.

The voice actors always seem to be over acting and it's just awful. I guess they use the same few. I reckon this is the same woman who did the awful Necromunda voice over.

I think there are few new models to go along with this release. It'll partially quieten the 'make Aelves' demands on Facebook but of course people won't be happy until dark, high and wood elves get updated fully.

[boneio]

Yes there's a video out now with new models, including what look like medusae archers.

Suppose it makes sense that they'd update Khaine first, given GWs policy of pursuing the more unique (I.e copyrightable) elements of their setting.
Sadly that means we can't expect updates to the more generic elves

Link?

[Elbows]

Just look up LVO or "Daughters of Khaine".  And yes I think GW will continue its push to make more unique units/races so "normal" stuff will disappear quickly.
