I'm half tempted to pick up the Blasted Hallowheart and use the boards for games of Warhammer Quest...

I would 100% convert up an admiral Akbar to lead my fishpeople.

If they will release a new fish people race, I would be genuinely in awe. Imagine all those H.P. vibes... :blush:

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about them actually. Models look great but they don't seem to catch me like I expected. I both like the flying turtle and don't think I'd ever use the flying turtle.

I like the water cloak guy.  One of the new models is called an Avatar of Mathlann, and i'm guessing that's him

Where does this race fight. On land or under the sea? So if on land how does the turtle fly. If under the sea, which race can fight them and breath underwater. Also hope that shipwreck model comes out. [2nd picture down.]

Everyone can fight underwater with magic! The same is probably what lets the turtle fly outside of water. That said I think that's part of my issue with the turtle.

I do like the cloak guys cloak. Plus the priest looking guy in the first picture. (Although he looks really similar to a genestealer magus.)

I think they turned out great, and will make an awesome compliment to all of my Pirates. This may be a very expensive summer...

This is probably the best looking army of the last decade. No joke, this is awesome. :::cheers:::

They do look great though I'm really interested in the back story and how they will fight "land based" armies..

Also another little hinter:

A new or modified Death faction?

Freeze framing the death video, it looks like that will probably be a new Black Coach

On the live stream they implied that the forthcoming magic supplement replaces the existing magic rules for AoS.    And that looks like a Purple Sun of Xereus to me

This is probably the craziest army I have seen, but that turtle model is working on me 😸

Interesting.

First Mantic games release their Trident realms http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/kings-of-war/trident-realm-of-neritica.html, now Warhammer goes for the same theme.

I however am more interested in the s.c. Warhammer legends:



Perhaps it is the first step towards return of WHFB in some form? Wishful thinking, I know.....  :unsure:

I agree the Idoneth Deepkin are very nice models, but are they not just elves. Would have been nice to see scales or web hands and feet, gills even, then you could either round off the ear or remove it to make a different race. Also betting that turtle turns up in some 40k armies before long.

After having a closer look at available pics, I can't help but have the same feeling I had when I first saw Kharadron Overlords. Yes, they are nice figures, innovative in many ways, but I just don't see a race, a nation behind them. What I mean is that I have always seen some well-defined civilization behind every WHFB army. It was clear what their goal was and why they fought. In AoS I just don't see that. The fluff is well written, but cloud pirate mercenaries and blind underwater elves? I don't know. That looks too specific for me.  :dry:

Really? The sky dwarves absolutely remind me of the various merchant republics like Venice and Genoa but with a steam punk twist. Heavy mercantile base, constantly competing with each other for the best contracts and deposits, etc. Mix it with some real pirate or age of sail influence and I really like it,

I bet we'll see more stuff with the water elves. look at some of the monster hybrid stuff we just saw with the Khanite elves. I bet we'll see similar things for these guys.

I'm also pumped for the made to order stuff.

It hasn't started yet. When it will be, it's usually under the pre order section. So far they've just announced it as a program their going to do.

I wonder if they were inspired or based on the old sea elves? Either way; lots of great conversion material available with all the new stuff
