AOS at Nova preview

[Jack Shrapnel]

Just watching it now, 

There's a khorne warband coming for underworlds

A strange looking bloodpelt hunter for ogres... I'm not sure about the head choice lol... 

New Mega-Gargant - Special character giant!  He's a BIG dude!

And the new slaves of darkness is coming... army box looks super sweet!


Roadmap of battletomes:

Tzeentch
Lumineth
Ogres
Sons of Behemet
Slaves of darkness

All before the end of this year!

Which of the heads are you unsure of? He's packing a few.

Looks like the STD bundle is going to be my biggest temptation this holiday season. I'll probably avoid mentioning that to my wife though.

Still a little miffed they gave them "basically minotaurs but better than Beasts'", but I can't hate that army.

Ogres could have used a lot more love than just a new character. They still have quite a few ugly ancient models. But a new model is a new model. I hope the book turns out to be a winner. I actually have some pretty high hopes here. The 3.0 AoS books have pretty much all been knockouts. Super on-theme and generally powerful without being OP.

I was unsure about the rope tying on antlers look... he can barely see through that... like how is he able to do his job?

lol, but it's a minor gripe, and I'm looking at a new book pretty quickly so that's all good

The new STD stuff looks pretty stellar. Nice to see those alternative heads for the daemon prince (das they painted up the one I liked the least - but the alternates are quite nice.

STD continue to be the most fashionable army out there. Sucks that we have to wait until the winter for the new daemon prince though.

Just for confirmation, STD units can be slotted into any of the Chaos God armies, right?

[dave]

They are allies for all of the mono-god books, so yes, but within the points limit.

STD actually looks f*kin sick. Might endup picking up a box or five.
