With their reliance on tactics and leadership it'd be pretty easy to make a Freeguild force with their rules. Just need to add a Nagash worship handwave for any undead shenanigans. :-D

They have a lot more character to them than the older skeletons, that's for sure; the different poses leave them looking a hell of a lot more dynamic.

They'll make for some nice, early Sigmar vs. Nagash forces in the Old World.

I don't think skeletons listen to rock, this might be more their jam. :-P

(Well, this or death metal.)

Also, skeleton boxes have been getting the Sold Out icon on the GW site. Likely a sign of repackaging with bases and price change.

Then we have more awesome Overlord stuff.

Just saw this. The champion looks great!

The others aren't shabby either, though it bothers me that their arms are too thick.

Edit: Skipped a page there. I meant the undead.

Indeed, definitely going to be my warband for ShadeSpire. (Also my first non-Order purchase ever  :-D )

Also, regarding the Overlord posts, did anyone else catch the "guidelines" part? :icon_wink:

These Kharadron are magnificent. Just another contingent on the wish list.

I can't wait to see how people convert them for 40k. It'll be nice to see a resurgence of Squat and Demiurg armies.

Probably gonna pale in comparison to what Sharkbelly does with them for his armada. :biggriin:

Alot of the Hinterlands players, like the creator Bottle, are gonna have a field day in making them merchant and privateer forces to mix with the big cities like Hammerhal and Greywater.

Indeed!  :-D

I'm hoping we'll see more than four factions before it releases. They could tie-in Shadowkin and Skaven for end of the year warbands if the rumors pan-out.

Well the news pics are up at the GWNZ site, but the links go no where yet, so they've yet to put up the minis.

Now please excuse me while I repeatedly faint at how amazing some of this art is.

Now this isn't Overlord art but from the blades of Khorne book but I just wanted to point out how great a argument it makes in not sending skeletons to fight things that eat bones. :biggriin:

The YouTube video describing the background is really worth watching. Can't help but be excited by this and how this seamingly completely new army is tied to the old mentality of the dwarves. I love the charters and the seven points of prosperity and the fact these guys dumped their reliance on god and kings for pure survival , as they were completely let down by those they believed in. The fluff really takes shape. So many possibilities now.

Indeed, I'm finding their lore really compelling the more I learn about them. Even the little stuff really helps paint a better picture of them and the mortal realms as a whole.



Also, new video up from their perspective. You can just feel the Overlord adjusting his monocle while he narrates. :biggriin:

Wow, this W:AoS stuff is so much more steam punk in style with those dwarfs in armored masks that look like the Storm Crud eternals wearing masks except shorter.

It is certainly a type of fantasy, but in a different direction than the Olde World style.

I like dwarfs more without masks.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes "barak thryng" for their Guns, Faith, and Tradition. (They are practically Dwarfs+) also love the red and white, much like my favorite state Reikland   :blush:

I've actually seen some of the gun ships painted up to look more like traditional blimps and I think it's a pretty awesome look. I was generally a fan when I first saw them but not super excited. Now I've read a fair bit of the fluff they've put out for it and it's won me over. It's a really neat idea, and a really interesting 'evolution' for these dwarves to go in.

It's a whole new world now. They've actually started to build lore up for it and it's turning out pretty interesting in my opinion at least.

Agree with the above. The Lore is starting to flesh out and I like it.
