They look like normarines near primarises

All the cool stuff spoiled today and you lot got stuck on the chibi marines! 

So much cool stuff. What do you think of the "contrast" paints (paint-glaze hybrid designed to be forgiving, from what I can tell)? Or the oodles of new models?

Updates spilling out all day here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/05/10/warhammer-fest-uk-2019-live-bloggw-homepage-post-3fw-homepage-post-1/

The shire thugs! New combat hobbits! Hobbit hole kits! Paints! Units and upgrades for tons of factions in all shapes and sizes! Discuss, discuss!

New Warcry band blow my mind. Thats aesthetic I want from my slaneeshian mortal units.



Apart from that they previewed new hardcover expansion for Necromunda that is missing from official previews.
And there is teaser for new Arbitrators for Munda.
Greatest news for me.

Underworlds Lion left me cold but I own 14 war bands and actively play 4 or 5 so as long as this will be my most often played game I will buy it anyway

To be honest I buy everything Necromunda and Underworlds that GW is releasing (apart of some extra gadgets like dice for each faction and such)
There is a chance I will play those games for long years and I want to support them.

Hobbits and ruffians looks great - I fear that they will be expensive forge worlds models as a niche topic.
Ruffians would work perfectly as thugs for Frostgrave

The FW Shire stuff looks great which is good as normally they fluff faces.

I want to see Contrast paints up close before I comment.

I am starting to get a bit of a Flash Gorden vibe from Warcry...

[AWu]

All forge World faces Ive seen were good .. They just rarely paint them to a standard they deserve in studio models..

New Warcry faction looks interesting, though with less Inq28/Necro conversion possibilities than the other two (which is what I'm always looking out for).
Lovely models and aesthetic, though - really liking the Warcry idea. Best thing GW has done for ages.

Cool to see the re-sculpted Cawdor character is finally on the way (original was deemed too KKK by the management).

Shire thugs look great, pity I have no use for 'em.

IMO, they won't work for everything, but are definitely a decent alternative to quick-dipped armies, and will almost certainly have some uses in normal painting too.

Ooh the skitarri hovercraft thingy looks good

My first though was I need two sets one for Warcry and second for my Slaanesian cult for Inq28. Those helmets

While I've only seen one of the Warcry factions I like so far I do like the visual exploration of chaos.

Thanks for the link. I can see it working for some people, and that's cool, but I can't see me taking it up...but then I like taking my time painting

A Primaris tank...shame its not a rhino-replacement. It's ok, was never really a big fan of the other version.

Live the new warcry preview. Might be my faction.

I don't mean to be 'that guy', but the brand new patented new before seen 'Contrast Paints' seem to be a glaze.

Note that the paints require you to use the special Contrast primer

I mean, I said that from the get-go. They're just a sort of glaze/paint mix.

The topmost guy's helmet reminds me of one of those alt-manufacturer heads I've seen around...
