I am filled with pride regarding this forum sometimes.

On a slightly different, and unfortunately valid, note, having got on a bit of a Runequest nostalgia trip lately, I was left sighing wistfully at what might have been if GW had kept producing Runequest's miniatures. Imagine what lovely things the Mr Perry's might have been producing with modern GW stylie production behind them.

I hear you!

Imagine if this range had actually been made ...



... and made in plastic 30 years after the rest of the Runequest stuff.

New summoning rules don't seem too bad. It's nice that you can still charge up without a slaan on the table.

I really want to forgive GW and dip my toes back into what passes as their fantasy line, but I still can't tell if the seraphon are actual physical beings or not. Aside from the slann. They're too OP to die now, from what I can tell.

I read that once they've been "summoned" or "manifested" into being that they're flesh and blood and very much alive.

Agreed. I must confess I turned fanboy at last  :D.
Even if an army overall doesn't appeal to me there always are a few units that are "too good to miss", whatever gaming system... And if I like the game, well... Thankgoodness the Shadespire gangs are dead cheap.

I not fan of them as a Cawdor gang (but thats not surprise as I started to like the Cawdor only after geting the old models because they were such a great sculpts :)

But they are insane cultists and fanatics conversion material..
Combination with flagellnts and Imperial models will give us endless possibilities! <3

My first reaction to that Cawdor pic was  :-* :-* :-*

Then my eye was drawn from the amazing minis (guy with bottle, guy with buzz-saw pole esp) to some of the others. The RPG-crossbow is daft even by GW standards, and the pole-gun thingies are not something I'd ever use.

So now my reaction is more like  :)

Some good conversion bits as AWU says above, so I'm keen, but I'm not blown away by the gang as a whole.
