Some great new models as part of the Sunday Preview:
Some more pics of upcoming Tomb Kings Arcane Journal: The War of Settra's Fury with the new Heralds and Liche Priests
Plus some of these models from Warhammer Underworlds will look brilliant in Vampire Counts or Alliance of Death army

im kinda disappointed that there are net zero new sculpts in the battalion box. I was hoping they would refresh the base skellies

so much this. It's just old sculpt...
Yeah those archers are definitely looking very tired - do you think there's still some reluctance on how much investment they do in TOW?
eh, GW is sending mixed signals.
From one side, they release a whole new faction and new models for old armies, but on the other side they just repack old wareouse remnants without even bothering to insert some cookies

Totally agree. For us old heads we already have all of that. Although at least we did get those new characters just recently.

Yeah idek what GW is doing anymore. We had two excellent new foot models on ToW release (even though they were resin, they were good quality) and the dragon, and then the resin models got pulled what, 2 month after their debut?
Meanwhile the most core-est unit, skellies, was released almost 1t years ago :')

It is very odd, and it's not like they can't specifically create TK skellies, the archers and egyptian theming won't work in AoS so it has that separation they needed - all they had to do was to take inspiration from the later skellies in AoS (i.e. the better proportions) create an updated box.
From my brief experience with TK, old school desert skeletons mix quite well with 7th ed. VC skeletons (given you can find these to buy..) in one unit.
Alternatively, one can print the core infantry for TK from vast choice of minis available online. Highland Minis make quite good ones, to be honest.
Old school skellies look quite weird when compared to Tomb Guards, which are more modern sculpts and, frankly, one of best looking undead rank and file models.

Yes, they do actually look quite well together 
Interestingly I've seen a few mentions now of Highland Minis for various sculpts, I think I will need to take a look at them
Interestingly I've seen a few mentions now of Highland Minis for various sculpts, I think I will need to take a look at themHere's a sample of wet dead skellies from HM:
Great stuff, if you ask me. Scaled down to 28mm from their native 32mm, they don't seem to have their details and sharpness diminished. I like how they resemble the old 7ed skeletons.
Renders of TK skellies also look promising, so perhaps that's the way to go?

These have just arrived, fell bats printed from HM's STL files. I'm stunned!
To be absolutely clear, I am in no way, shape or form connected to Highland Miniatures. I am just a very satisfied customer, who thinks HM deserves a little bit of publicity, especially among people who might appreciate their work. Hope that's not against good taste and rules of this forum.
And to give respect where it's due, I have not seen any Blood Knights or Dire Wolves minis which could even match quality, posing and undead-ish vibe of miniatures from Games Workshop. GW's vampires and rotten wolves are simply the best, in my most humble opinion.
The same goes for their characters, doesn't matter which army, doesn't matter which edition. They are just great, full of charisma, great stuff altogether.
I don't like these pin up style big titted vampirellas offered by 3d sculptors, I don't like that much of spikes and iron on orc's war bosses visible on, say, AoW miniatures, I don't like that much of steam punkiness on Dwarven engineers from 3rd party creators. Doesn't matter if it's 7ed Isabella von Carstein, or if it's I-don't-even-know-which-edition Orc shaman with bony staff, or if it's ToW Ungrim Ironhide, GW characters are the best.

Definitely not, in fact I encourage everyone to share recommend manufacturers, suppliers etc so people can source great models.
Thinking on it, we could do with a new thread where we create an index of recommended models
