They look like warhammer fantasy to me. Which is good for Slaaneshi fans.

But I am not a fan of most Chaos models generally.

Thank you! Was literally just having this convo elsewhere. If these came on ranked up squares, the oldhammer folks would be raving about how great they are.

AoS model wise has been a mixed bag but I will say that much of the Chaos stuff has been quite good and fits in fine with the Oldworld. Why GW never bothered with more god specific minis in square base days or even the variety of the say Warcry warbands which make for fine marauders I find most frustrating.

Sigvalds horns are awful though.

Sigvald is fine to me. Whatever about his horns, I dont care that much either way.
Well, except perhaps for his scale? He is gigantic now right?

Looks that way. To survive the End Times, he's presumably progressed from chaos lord to true daemon prince.

He was more interesting not gigantic IMO.
Regular sized heroes are cool.

Its why I LOVED the idea of Valkia. Her model was ok, but what I imagined was pretty interesting.

Might be old news but I can’t find  the aleguzzler gargant on GW site anymore. Just the new guys as very expensive amounts.

They've been reboxed into a two-pack and renamed Mancrushers.

Yes!! Thanks Stonebeard, that is good news. I haven’t got the behamet battle tome yet but I was thinking of a destruction alliance of mainly creatures. Yetees, gorgers, gargants, frost sabres, trolls, and the like. Still playing with Azyr to find a playable army.

Clearly since a single giant, titled Aleguzzler, was a disturbing sign of miniatures inherent alcoholism

A classic case of violence being ok, addictive behavior not.

Wait ... miniatures aren't addictive? :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

Chaos continues to get tons of models. In a recent interview with Tuomas Prinen that I've listened to on the 'Old World Lives' podcast, he mentioned how fantasy Chaos was a big selling point for GW even in the late 90's early 2000's. Seems not much has changed in that regard.

I wish I could like WoC more because building a 6th-8th ed WFB army with the current plastics is an absolute breeze. Still I guess I can't forgive them for blowing up the old world ha! Not happening. These do look pretty however and at least they are not cow elves!

If anyone knows, I read some rules on ‘the streets of death’ or some such fantasy urban terrain street fighting rules and because my state of the art brain remembers very little of the things I want to remember , I now don’t have a clue where those rules are. I even came across a thread where I mentioned it lately but I can’t find that either.
I tell you, Star Trek had an episode where after some age, you just lined up to be atomized to reduce surplus population. Funny enough I don’t remember the episode but damn thats a good idea for people losing their brains. ‘Right this way - oblivion ahead’
Peaceful, controlled, economic. So many pluses

Hmmm ... what does that T-shirt have to do with W:AoS? Something is flying over my head.  Or perhaps swimming in the ocean.

All you bastards have drowned my question!! Have you no pity for an old fogey losing his brain?

Btw , as an old python fan, that would make a good hat.
