Warhammer/40k & Fantasy Discussion - Part 6

[TSO]

The new Vermin Lords are out:

Spoiler

Each one's got his own head and weapon combination, and they are the size of Nagash. I don't play Skaven, but I think these are pretty good looking models.

They're not even close to that big, nagash is on a 150x100 while they are on a 100x60. Still big though and still cool.

Here's a pic of Nagash and Vermin Lord together.

Rumors are after End Times there will be a time jump and the game and world will be very different.

This game looks cool even if it was just the game pieces. I stopped playing Magic the Gathering for the same reason I think I'd probably hate WarHammer, power creep.

Surprisingly enough, the most recent group of books that GW has released (at least on the 40k side of things) have been fairly well balanced with each other. They certainly aren't perfect, and there's still a lot of cheese out there, but recently things have been looking up. But...this is Games Workshop and they have a distressing habit of looking like they're headed in a good direction only to do fuck it all up shortly afterwards.

Used to love 40k back in the day - 2nd ed mostly.

Perspective, Nagash is further back and lower than the vermin lord.

Nagash is lower but he's actually in front of the Verminlord.

If Nagash wasn't floating and didn't have all the swirly stuff he'd easily fit on a 100x50 base.

Here's a pic with the 100mm side of their bases facing the viewer

So you're saying they're the same size as long as you don't consider all the whirling stuff on Nagash? The vermin lord is actually bigger then.

I'm saying here's evidence for size comparison. If you'd like to still say the Vermin Lord aren't close to as big as Nagash, that's up to you.

I was actually agreeing with you that the vermin lord himself is as big as Nagash(the guy, not all the other stuff). Otherwise no, Nagash is 4 inches taller and covers 4 times as much space on the battlefield.

Plastic Bloodthirster on the way?!?! Yes please. That's just what I would like because my fledgeling Sanctified force are Khornate daemon summoners.

There are leaked pics of them.

So, that Bloodthirster is out. What a disappointment. The runes on the wings look like shit and it's far too expensive a model for it's rules/points. It's also the most expensive End Times kit so far despite not using more sprues or plastic than the others. There's no good reason for it to be $25 more than the Verminlord other than them thinking they can pump consumers for more because it is an iconic daemon.

I think GW fucked up on this one. I was ready to pick up a bunch of Khorne models (which I've wanted to do for years now, just the range has never had enough plastic for me to want to make the investment) but I'm not going to bother now when the centerpiece sucks.

Forgeworld released a teaser for it's next HH book. Looks like the Warlord Titan is actually going to be a thing:

 

[GhostZ06]

i figured HH would be done by now

That new FPS looks good.

They could milk these for the next 4+ years without much trouble. Lots of the legions don't even have basic rules yet.

God I want a good warhammer 40k movie SERIES. On the level of 20 year planning like Marvel and DC, but with R-ratings (and for damn good reason).
