WOWOWOWOWOWWOOT!!!:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|
New dire wolves, yippie! although they look damn hard to paint to that standard
ghouls aren't that good IMO but i'll take them just because the ones we got now are worse than them
so we're gonna get another unit called wights right? or not?
 
I just got the new WD today, theres a lovely little page for VCs and at the back is the fantastic corpse cart. Mmmmmm....

The skeletons looks unbelievable, i really love them. Especially the one with its front head caved in. For those about the KoBK, i think they look fantastic, really evil and kick ass. Personally, a horse on the charge can easily smash through anything, the size and momentum with the added weight of the armour and spikey bits is a help. Where as a huge wolf is both stupid and unlikely to carry a fully armoured warrior into combat, and they look like horses anyway.
No way in hell are they going to be £40 a pack, because thats just stupid, not even a giant is that much. Its incredibly unlikely, id say £25 like the high elf Dragon Knight chappies.
 
Having seen most of the models, I really like them all. The wolves nad the ghouls required a second, closer look, butthey both meet with approval.

Only Konrad and a couple of generic vampires left, unless I'm mistaken.
 
The Ghouls don't look too bad. The Dire Wolves look pretty good. I'm not overly impressed with the Wights (it's their helmets, again).

One thing I will say is looking at the spearhead picture the army actually looks very coherent and not like the messy mix of styles it's previously always been.
 
Only Konrad and a couple of generic vampires left, unless I'm mistaken.

Ehm, Bat Swarms? Necromancers? All of the other Characters? Fells Bats? Black Coach? Banshees? Wraiths? Black Knights? And I wonder if those guys on the Spearhead are Grave Guard at all?

If they are GG, then what are these? Remember me 1 Remember me 2

I love the new sculpts. No idea why they put in 10 Skeletons and 10 Dire Wolves, as well as 10 Grave Guard. Very weird numbers in my book.

This is going to be a very weird spearhead.... I mean 10 Ghouls, 10 Skeletons, 10 Grave Guard, 10 Dire Wolves, 2 Vamps, 1 Corpse Cart...

How much will it cost?
 
Not too fond of the direwolves. Too messy, if such a word can be applied to undead. Too cartoony. Like the old ones better.

The ghouls are good, but something completely different from our current ones.
 
I'm actually a really big fan of the Dire Wolves, they may or may not be perfect, but they're very different from goblin wolves and are obviously undeady. If we don't like them we can still use the goblin stuff, or even combine the two for conversions for a half way look. Something this different is what we needed.

A rough guide to prices (in Euros):

I've just been doing some Euro to £££ conversions. The prices aren't that bad.
 
wow, love the look of the new dire wolves, very chaos houndy :) and the new ghouls look pretty neat, if rather hunched :lol: pity there dont seem to be any pics of Konrad :(
 
those prices seem really high! i mean... 79€ for an army book... i bought the old one for 20€!
Jeezz:|o_o

oh , ok thanks!
then the price on that site is just a typo or something
but why the hell are they putting skellies in 10man boxes?
and to get to 20(of which the price is currently 30€) you have to pay 35€, that's not that much more but...well... it's still more

I like the look of the cover.

As for the models, I really like the ghouls although I don't fancy the greenish tient they've got. I see a lot of potential in them.

The wolves I'm doubtful about. Their heads look huge. I pray it's the angle though, because the current wolves stink.

I like the looks of all the mini's. After years of horrid sculpts and raiding other armies for mini's I will take them. The worry for me is how Carstein centered the book seems. I am a Von Carstein player and hey new Carstein mini's make me HAPPY , but I am worried the new approach may turn off some players. looking forward to painting and playing that army.

That is why I just got myself 4 boxes of Men-at-Arms to serve as Skeleton Warriors.
 
Konrad looks very promising, although it is somewhat hard to see the details when he's not painted. Mannfred on foot still looks disproportioned.

Of all the pics and models released so far, I like the army book cover the most. Could very well be the best cover ever.
