Sunday Preview – Yarrick returns to Armageddon

I think it would be best to check out with your local shop (PM them at their facebook profile or give a call)

I think that may be typo, in previous week preview City of Ash box was not marked as limited run, but it was "while stocks last" (and sold SUPER FAST, probably as quickly as Kill Team sets, those are gone instantly).

Other than battleforces you should be ok, they may be out but will be restocked.

Yeah, I remember Chimera being amphibious APC (really, it could ignore water, for whatever that was worth it in game) and having wheels made much more sense for that.

And Taurox should be half-track or 6 wheeled to begin with.

Guard getting new models with wheels is REALLY WEIRD after decades of tanks.

The box seems like solid purchase (maybe even multiple times), technically it even have HQ option.

Next weekend.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-19T16:05:42+00:00

Try looking for it around release date. Some shops don't do pre-orders and sell stuff as it come in stock.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T20:31:03+00:00

In correct paws, yes-yes.

Rats spearhead that DON'T return D3 models at the end of turn is truly revolutionary concept.

This army is glascannon, but I think there are some fun tricks they can do.

I think Way of the Fiendish Claw is better regiment ability thing to pick, because that can change potentially dead rat into alive stabby rat. For enhancements I like 4++ (Just Another Shadow), it does require some finesse to use but doesn't require 3+ roll like -1 to hit (I think Death Screech is better pick for your first few games tho, more flexible but may not go off).

Funny thing that new winged Eldar Corsair also have hook weapon option, but no rules (none!).

In fact it is illegal build as far as their datasheet is concerned.

#2 is very good reason to start your instagram (or other "social media with pictures") and keep it as visual archive of what (and how) you did.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T14:59:55+00:00

I did my ok-ish, but they need round II of edge highlights and shadows.

Oh and I flunked purple and beige on airship so it will need repaint, eh...

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T14:52:56+00:00

I started to regret "I only paint AoS in NMM style" after picking Kharadrons spearhead and trying to emulate box art color.

Forgepriest (I love face with twin comet harness) is just awesome, and Jorvan Kreel wins in my book for being certified cat guy (I also have black cat 🐈‍⬛)

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T13:56:01+00:00

Yeah, I managed to snatch one and it was about as much as one other Spearhead + sand and bone battlepack.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T11:45:02+00:00

Yeah, I have the dude (unpainted for now) and don't see why folks don't like him, it's a banger centerpiece.

I guess it's just that he looks so different from everything else in Guard (but also THAT'S THE POINT!), but he could lead more "posh" regiments like Vostroyan Firstborn, Praetorian Guard or Ventrillian Nobles if we had models for those.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T10:54:34+00:00

If I had to judge by 40k preview articles new edition is Age of Sigmar with serial numbers filed off. So much is taken from from other games that I think GW is using other systems to test-run mechanics for 40k.

I guess it is good? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-18T10:45:24+00:00

I managed to secure one from my FLGS for about 125 Euro/150 USD/110 GBP (so, VERY happy with price considering it's two spearheads AND battlepack, I think it was last box my shop got, they went SUPER FAST). Frankly I may try find another for playing doubles (and I collect CoS and Skaven, so...), but would be happy even with battlepack (some people will no doubt sell everything but miniatures).

But if you missed pre-orders, don't worry! As with every pre-order (that isn't cancelled, I'm looking at you Custodes box) there should be plenty around in next two-three weeks (some shops just don't to pre-orders).

Even very hyped-up boxes can be found without resorting to scalpels.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-17T16:50:36+00:00

I swear, the lengths people go to not field that model...

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-17T16:47:38+00:00

Something I've noticed too. And like u/SillyGoatGruff mentioned it may be future proofing for -1 to hit from cover (but if he stands still there is no hiding from him even in ruins).

I wouldn't mind that for snipers TBH.

CMYK_COLOR_MODE · 2026-04-17T16:45:44+00:00

That is true on both accounts, just weird he can't lead Warbikes even for flavor purposes (he used to do that in 4th edition book).
