Its Age of Sigmar Merch GP! Official T-shirts with AoS art! Technically a new AoS rumoured to be coming, and thus perfect for the thread!

Its suppose to be a ship discovering one of the new mega giants waiting in the waves for it. A dine and cruise so to speak.
I see this is correct.

And besides black, the t-shirts come in green and blue too. :icon_rolleyes: :icon_lol:

Streets of Death - 2019 General Handbook - found it. Not going crazy after all. Page by page through all the rules books. Old fashioned sleuthing. Google didn’t even help although it might have if I could remember the proper name. 😺

On the topic of Warriors of Chaos - has anybody else noticed that the recent AoS 'Start Collecting' box for WoC / Slaves to Darkeness has a push-fit unit in some pretty good poses, but their boxed set regiment is still the older static looking set where you just add hands and heads?

Current boxed regiment on GW website;



Start Collecting regiment (amongst the other stuff);



What's going on here then???

I'm not a Chaos fan either but those in the Start Collecting box look to be a lot better, in the same vein as these new guys for Underworlds.

I mean, the Underworlds Chaos Warriors match the ones in the Slaves to Darkness Start Collecting.

That start collecting set does look good.  No wizard though.

I must admit I have been eyeing them up as possible Teutogen conversions, but might be a bit of a bugger to work in double-handed weapons...

The other alternative is always some Border Prince heavies to accompany Lietpold the Black.

We'll see what the future holds.

They just haven't released the start collecting chaos warriors in a box set yet. They've said they will and soon (TM) but I bet they're trying to milk every drop out of the old box. Those new warriors are beautiful.

I just found it pretty odd - I don't recall ever seeing this situation before where a brand new update on a unit was in the start collecting but not available separately. Boxed games and new edition launch sets sure, they generally have special 'limited edition' sort of units but the start collecting boxes are generally just existing sets smooshed together into an attractive package, generally with a nominal (if any) saving of about 50p... though I remember the Lizardmen set was a pretty good bargain, think you basically got a Carnosaur for free.

Anyway I digress, yes those new Chaos bods are pretty sweet, so much so I have never been more tempted to drift to the dark side, and the new Underworlds group just adds to that! Would love to see some with great weapons...

The only problem I have with the Chaos stuff and what is really only a big thing on the undivided type minis, is that apparently they all shop at the same boot maker.  This entirely too regular appearance is just so jarringly unchaotic.

I feel like being generic and uniform is the S2D modus operandi, though? You need only look at the new Hedonites for freaky thigh-high studded leather boots with curly toes.

Nothing wrong with a good pair of sturdy boots - in fact there's not enough of them knocking about on our beloved Empire troops, just a load of slippers! One chap from the state troops box can't even manage that!  :biggriin:

Its weird.
I always liked the uniform look of Chaos Warriors. However by definition of chaos, they should all look decidely un-uniform.

There has to be a name for that.

No one posted it but a bunch of new models got previewed on Christmas Day and New Years Day. Check out this new Slaany special character. Glutos Orscollion, Lord of Gluttony



They also put a video out yesterday with a few glimpses of other stuff, including a possible new Witch Hunter or Priest model.

It is is a nice model again but such a poor gaming piece. I just can't get on this 'center piece' model concept despite that GW has been doing it for a decade now.

Can't even imagine wanting to paint it.  Especially when the time taken could go to so many more figures than that one.
