I'm rather glad to hear they are at last doing something with Skaven and the new figure preview looks amazing:

 The new Genestealer cultists look great.The Gunslinger one is in a new Killteam set.They even mention that they have not shown all of the GSC new pieces.Looking forward to seeing what else they have to release.

Skaven dude is great. I fear that he will be in large box SKaven vs Ghouls as an exclusive though..

Other news are just great. Plastic Ambots ?
And such great models ?
I am not fan of Ambot ingame (Infiltrating giant monster tend to be major threat in a game making rest of the gang almost useless and making him auto include for the points) but I love the mini and I will get me pair.



Ambull for Blackstone is beauty too. I would prefer him without larvae falling but I guess its season for lying eggs and hatching offspring for him.


I love Genecuklt lady and guy in long robes , assasin is great too. But I dont see them in my gene cult.
Chick will be Slaaneshian psyker, and the robed guy shouts - Inquisition to me :>

Genesteale with no name I am pissed off he wont be stand alone but I willwait for the pricetag attached. I wanted to buy hybrids he is with anyway.
But most surprising is this great fatty tech adept. I love him!


Again packed with unit but I am almost out of my sicarian legs and clawed hands so I will probably have reasons to get him.

I actually wish the female Magus had been overweight. Sort of like a nod to the old metal patriarch miniature.

But I suppose skinny and tits sells miniatures and requires less thought...like skinny bimbo eldar snipers.

What? That kinda makes no sense.

You wanted a magus to not look like a magus and because its not your claiming its because sex sells? Apart from the general theme of gsc being sleek and stealthy.

I really like the model. Not boobs out overly sexualised like some minis out there.

And it has everything you need in the one box!

Well. Its complete if you convert 2 skeletons to lacking pair of ghouls. But I agree this is hgreat set and almost playable from the box (I got it from my lovely wife for xmas :P

Skeletons are easy fix. Ghouls are quite skinny so greenstuffing bones with layer of skin from gs should be easy.


Only truly out of the box set are the Dwarves IIRC
(and Dark Elves are the worst)

I told myself that this would be the year to stop buying stuff that would just join the unpainted pile. I'm wavering already: all the Genestealer Cult stuff, the Ambots, that Mechanicus guy!

The larvae spewing all over the Ambull epitomises the modern GW trend to just festoon models in detail for the sake of it. In this instance it takes away from an otherwise amazing re-imagining of a classic monster.
