Sylvaneth stuff should be on preorder next week.  Should start seeing pics within the next couple of days.


Also,  expect loads of info on The General's Compendium,  as that stuff is hitting Facebook

Saw that stuff about the Generals comp.. didn't look at it in detail yet though.

Stupid app isn't downloading my WD issue so didn't see that yet..

Looks like an admin got hold of a copy of the Generals Handbook over at the TGA.community
A little bit of a sneak peek.
Not sure about links here so just search 'The Grand Alliance Community.

Yeah, found out about TGA two days ago, wish I knew about it sooner..

It and Dakkadakka are really going over any leaks they can get their hands on. The Bretonnia legacy point leaks are nice to hear about. :happy:

The book is really looking to be an amazing deal for all the content it'll have to improve the game. I just wonder if the app will get points as well? It'd make sense to keep updated on future releases.

Also, feel free to put up links, Artoban's Ghost. I don't think there's a rule against on-topic links.

Thanks Baron!
I am really looking forward to getting my hands on that book. Finally I have a hobby room done. Just need paints and brushes again.
Lots of ideas for order and destruction, but I'll start with order.
I'll work on the link thing but as I'm 1 step up from a Luddite, that may be a challenge :)

Haha, just edited in the link. :biggriin:

Best of luck on getting your forces of Order and Destruction done! Would like to see them on the site's painting section if you're so inclined. :-)

Wouldn't it be barking out instead of fleshing out? :-D

They do indeed look great. I really like the Kurnoth hunters.

Not really.  Sylvaneth are their own faction now,   the Wanderers are the other faction that got split from the old stuff.   

And the two factions aren't on friendly terms.   The Wanderers fled to Azyr before Sigmar closed the realm off during the Age of Chaos.   Alarielle hasn't forgiven them for abandoning  her and Ghyran to suffer at the forces of Nurgle.   She went into hiding,  but the Stormcasts found her, but in inadvertently led Nurgle in as well.  They fought Nurgle together, and she has now decided to join the war, scattering the realm of life with acorns to grow an army.

The Wanderers may have returned to Ghyran now the Realmgates are open again, but they're not necessarily welcome.

they really look good and even the paint job is good, though the colour choice maybe a bit bright for my taste

Wood Elves have Tyranids and Dreadnaughts now? ;)

Allarielle looks nice, though I'd prefer her to be on foot.

These are probably the best Age of Sigmar models I have seen so far. I might even consider getting some of these now. I love the tree revenants and bee hive.

Found this at Dakkadakka, pretty interesting:

Quote from: OrlandotheTechnicoloured 690078 8742347 fcbe6aa309cf6e5f0ee8b4620f744efa.jpg
and another page (from Adeptus Astartes on facebook),


I also find it funny that with the new high fantasy setting they're using mundane insects(though spites could be sprites in insect form), in the old low fantasy setting it would have been sprites with their daemonic fantasy appearance.

Anyway, on a very rare occasion that I decide to dive into Warseer, I found some fluff tidbits on the new cities we're fighting over (my compliments to ad_hoc for the info):

Also, MongooseMatt gave his review on the new book as well:

I'm just happy she dispels those notions that GW can't make nice female models. You know it's a good model when the worst complaint is "I don't like her hat". :-D

Wood Elves have Tyranids and Dreadnaughts now? ;)

Allarielle looks nice, though I'd prefer her to be on foot.

Alot of people want just the beetle, so you could either look for her seperate on ebay or buy the kit and sell off the beetle.

If I'm not mistaken you're also a Tomb kings player. You could try a scarab conversion for the beetle as well. ;)

Quite like those!

Maybe because I didn't previously play the faction.
I don't care about the rules.

Not a fan of most of it, not horrible but not my taste. Love the massive beetle though, amazing.
