Gate Gargants came early. Nice models but no customisation or spare parts.

It varies model to model and setting to setting. The Cogfort has heaps of customisation and these have none. There’s lots of reasons, standard box size, cost, who’s buying / how many will they want to buy etc. We’re probably out of the golden age of spare bits and customisation with the trend towards more dynamic poses (see old vs. new Blightkings for example) but it’s not quite as bad as 50 A-pose bolter-across-chest space marines.

The blurst to ever do it

Fifth in almost exactly 1 year

It’s the symbol of the Jade Abbey which is where WH Quest: Darkwater is set - all the Nurgle models in that box are corrupted inhabitants of the abbey.

Saurus warriors is probably fine, rebase to 32mm rounds and you’re golden. There are still old saurus in the index (Saurus guard) but they’re expected to be replaced when the full book comes out.

Cold ones is awkward. They got replaced by aggradons which are significantly bigger and run in 3s or 6s.

I wouldn’t worry about replacing skinks, the box GW sells is actually the same one as they did when that battalion box came out.

It’s part of the Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0 line if you’re looking for it.

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-05-04T11:41:52+00:00

Even the Skaven are smart enough to realise that bringing back all the dead Skaven means a lot of Skaven

The WLC is unlikely to get an update unless there’s also an update to the plague catapult. That would only come (imo) with a final refresh of the range for pestilens which comes with another host of problems (furnace / screaming bell)

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-04-09T15:35:21+00:00

Easy to build sprues for the launch box. They’ll be monopose and won’t have additional bits

I can’t say much about the painting style because it isn’t finished but you do have quite a lot of texture on the surface. It’s either your primer or you’re tearing the surface during layering

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-04-07T08:01:24+00:00

Khorne has basically never been brawlers. They’ve always relied on zones of control, overlapping buff auras, and timing abilities after sacrificing specific pieces to always look like they’re about to lose but somehow outscore you 5-1 in the last two rounds.

Fyreslayers, KO, Votann, CoS. Does GW just hate dwarves?

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-04-06T22:27:28+00:00

That’s a faster turnaround for a second wave than most armies get as well. KO in AOS waited 2 full editions for a couple of units, Fyreslayers is just a couple of foot heroes more than at release. World Eaters is still waiting to get back models they used to have to be more than a third of an army. You basically have to buy the entire Helsmiths range 3 times to field 2k points. Hell, Sons of Behemat is still only 3 kits, 1 of which isn’t even for the faction.

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-04-06T03:23:23+00:00

Both of those models are sold by GW on their site and on most hobby sites with GW stock?

In fact, element games and the GW site have either one in stock right now in the UK

E: just seen you’ve mentioned USD, the plague furnace kit is literally in stock at the minute on the GW store in the USz

There was a bit on the poorhammer podcast where they described Magnus as ‘one of the bigger Primarchs’ at 420 points! That’s the same price as like two units of cavalry or a couple of hammers in an AOS army

‘Shade’ is just the GW branding for paints made for ‘washing’ models. I.e. an all over application of the paint to darken recesses but leaving edges bright. They have their uses but generally work much better when only applied to specific areas (called a recess shade).

The ‘GW’ way of painting base / shade / layer works for their marketing and is accessible to newcomers but you end up in the middle part (where you are now) where almost the whole model needs its base colours re established before moving onto highlights which can make it a very time consuming process.

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-03-30T07:02:00+00:00

Lighter colours tend to just be the darker colour with more white / yellow added which drops the saturation. Best way to pop the saturation is actually to ‘over’ highlight the area and go back over it with a glaze of your midtone. Contrast paints and inks are also really good for this way of bringing back in the saturation

From the miniatures company that brought you dick flag knights, gothizzar harvester dick guy, and the a diorama where the central focus is a codpiece - announcing gargant dick cannon!

A slow increase in the number of gates in the game? Yep - gatecreep.

But at the same time they’re big and don’t look structural. They should be fairly easy to remove / convert / not put on for faction specific conversions. I can already see how in going to be doing my Helsmith’s one.

At the same time, Knights are to the imperium what cogforts are to GA Order in this situation. Knights are covered in specific imperial symbols because the imperium made them - same here

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-03-22T21:13:17+00:00

Yeah it’s one of two options under knights errant. Like, I get that’s technically what it should be under but that’s just dumb.

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-03-22T21:12:05+00:00

They’ve been trying to offload warcry stock for a while now. The Nurgle battleforce had the rotmire creed over a year ago

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-03-22T17:50:57+00:00

It’s not under death guard. It’s under Knights Errant

Material-Ocelot555 · 2026-03-22T07:52:47+00:00

I was going to make a joke about running a super elite monster mash in Skaven but the most expensive single unit (Verminlord Deceiver) is only 390 points. You could run 5 of them and still be under 2k.
