Cool to see some pictures at last and most of it looks nice. I kinda think they overdid it with the throne/engine though. I mean look at the base and then at all the crap stacked on there... that won't be very stable will it?

My brain just overloaded with the model content! Impressed mostly by the mortis engine and the black knights!

Not only that, with all the bits hanging out side I'm also worried it will just break, stable or not. I have to wait and see for real if it's a concern but if the balance of the model is shaky then just fielding it could not only be a nightmare for your opponent...
WOOT Krell's back! and that means Heinrich is back, because where's w ight without his trusty necromancer. ( well nonexistent because you kinda need to be raised first.) anyhow with his new(ish) book out I am really wanting to see the Red Duke.
p.s. I am a bit worried about the subject of a ranged unit because I've seen nothing to confirm it........

I like the angles on the Vargeists wings, they will line up nicely
I have just looked at the mortis engine, looked at my model case, then back to the engine...... it isn't going to fit is it.... "we're gonna need a bigger boat"....

@ CT/ME: These models look amazing! Guys, they're not going to make a model that size and decide: "hey, let's not make it a balanced model, just a cool looking model." However, fitting it in a box is another thing... 
@ Krell: he looks bad-ass as ever, and I'm sure he can cause mayhem in enemy ranks. Just very glad that they're reaching back to the 'old days' with Kemmler and Krell
@ Black Knights/Hex Wraiths: Indeed, there goes my first salary of the year Finally the Knights get the honor they deserve!
@ Vargheists/Crypt Horrors: One is a vampire, the other is boosted by vampiric blood. Means they're both fast. Means we finally get to hit FIRST in a lot of combats!
@ Magic: That spell sounds alright, can't read it though. No armor saves is always good!
All in all, I gotta speed paint my remaining minis so I can make a fresh start with these baby's! As for the rest:

it better get quite a few attacks

Wow! Looks like they've gone overboard. It mentions bloodlines in a bit of it so we can hope right? As big a unit of the new black knights as i can get my hands on then!

One of the mounted Blood Dragons has gone out of stock from the website now too. I love the look of the new models, and am now going to paint like a maniac to get everything done before the release.
are the Crypt Horrors and the Vargheists monstrous infantry?! I am sooooo excited!! Now its time for some rules!
I gotta say I'm more than a little dissapointed. The Coven does look absolutely amazing and beautifuly "sculpted but it is waaaaaaaay over the top. The Black Knights fantastic and Krell yes please. But the rest? mmmmmaaaa. Those Giant gouls and the Vargheists or wattever make me sick to my stomach, it's Beastmen all over again! And I think they stole the position and idea for the White King from our resident Golden Bat winner. I was extremely looking forward to this and feel pretty let down. Oh well, Ho Hum, at least now I won't worry about my own sculpts looking so shitty! Gotta get working on those Fell Bats.:zombie:
:O OMG!! I'm loving the Coven Throne/ Mortis engine thing...
Not to actually build one mind you.... but I've a feeling those Vampire Handmaidens are going to end up riding on my Black Gondola Scratch-build while it sails along supported on that Spirit Host.... Lots of other nifty kitbashy bits in there too.... The possibilities are endless.
Oh yes... oh, yes indeed....

I lost my 5th odd game against Dark Elves yesterday and all I want for a late Christmas Present is some point reductions across the board. These excellent models will do nicely as well. I just got motivated to paint some core.
I'm loving those crypt horrors (you can just make out that they're monstrous infantry in the vargheist picture). Got a feeling I'll win for once in January

Oh
My
word
First thoughts - amazing! Now for a second look!
Second thoughts - no flesh golems as such. And although no picture - the text for Krell describes a finecast Heinrish Kemmler.

New models with new rules and the inevitable points decrease across our core selections (or a makeweight special rule) obviously will help me win. 6 points for a DE warrior vs. 9 for a skeleton with a limp pole is a... handicap
There's talk over on the warseer thread that our lore is getting a nice offensive touch to it as well. I hope so.
Also as a newbie I have no idea what Krell and Kemmler might bring to the table. Likely to be any good? I hope we don't lose Konnrad!
No rules and new models won't make you a better player. And it's far is cheaper point costcos that's all speculation. My second game I played with vampire counts was against dark elves and I obliterated him. So new models won't help a poor list.

Us two arguing about this would be wildy off topic in this thread so I'm not going to indulge you beyond saying that I believe you to be part troll and part maniac.

Nononononono! New models and rules = a new play style....with vargheists and hexwraiths and so on we might get more aggressive......and Ungroundable might be better suited to an aggresive play style...or we might get even more defensive....what im saying is that the new rules might complement his play style better, effectively making it a better player/army combo so more games won....its not all about who has better tactics....but who is suited better to the army they are playing.
