Does the spearhead come out in Feb? If so will it be available in Australia/NZ, I've never seen one before so guessing not.
 
I am into the thought that there will be a necromancer pack like the wizards for the empire, and like with all of their new generals there will be a plastic box containing one on foot and one mounted? If there isnt ill be realitivly annoyed because there generally good. Does anyone know about new zombies?

Everything's looking great to my eyes. KotBK (although the price is scary), Varghulf and Dire Wolves are looking good. Ghouls are... so so.
 
US prices in WD 337

Book $22
Battalion (contents not listed) $90
10 Crypt ghouls $22
1 Corpse Cart $25
10 Skeletons $22
10 Grave Guard $25
10 Dire Wolves $22
5 Blood Knights $75
VC Spearhead $185 (book, Vlad von Carstein, Vampire Lord, 10 Skeletons, 10 Crypt Ghouls, 10 Dire Wolves, 10 Grave Guard, 1 Corpse Cart, 1 Varguhlf)
Mannfred Von Carstein $25
Manfred, Count of Syvania $12
Vlad Von Carsten $12
Winged Vampire Lord $12
Vampire Lord $12
Necromancer $12
Varghulf $25
Blood Knight / Musician / Standard Bearer / Kastellan - $17 each

So in the US the spearhead saves you a whopping $2.00
If the battalion is only a box of each of the new plastics, then it saves you a whopping $1.00. But I haven't seen yet what is in it - a lot of the battalions do save you a bit (I know the OK one saves you about $50 from buying everything separately).

And the blood Knight box does save you $10 off buying the models in blisters at least.

Those new photos have pretty much put me off the KoBK. They look like Chaos Knights with even more skullz on them. Bleh.
 
errrr, somebody have just heard something about corpse cart stats? It seems a bit pityful if it's carried by impaled zombies (at least speaking in speed and impacts terms)

By the way, any news about black coach? I want to know if I will have to convert mine into a corpse cart or not...

f..king waiting, it's annoying... And I have exams 'til 18th February
 
Konrad looks really nice, as does the Varghulf. The lady is also growing on me.

Knights and wolves don't kick it for me.

Still, the skellies, wights and the corpse cart is plain awesomeness. Can't wait to work with them.

Indeed.

But we still need new stuff for:

Zombies
Necros
General Box.
Black Coach
Fell Bats
Banshees
Wraiths
Wights
Black Knights.

Black Knights being an important one because im not spending however much for KotBK just to convert them into black knights.

Wont be remade.

No new necromancers - in the first wave at least.

General Box.
AFAIK this wont happen due to the differences of vampires. This would make sense with the current blood lines (how to make a kit that could create both a strigoi and a lahmian?), but with the blood lines going, I fail to see the argument.

Black Coach
No new model.

Fell Bats
No rumoured model, although it is really needed!

No new models.

No new models either.

Err... Have you seen the new plastic set?

Black Knights.
Most unfortunately, no new models are rumoured. One can still hope though.

The black Knights that are still here really don't do it for me, so I made mine out of empire knights. It fits in with my "reasontly dead" style undead empire army, as a lot of my zombies still have their uniforms on (at least whats left of them). Its that half white half red kind of look, I forget which part of the empire golour scheme I used. I'm gonna have to paint my black knight horses with ghost paint soon tho! awwwwwwww

Zombies don't really need remaking, they're good enough as it is, although an accesserys sprue would be awsome.

Black Coach is a good model, tho it is out-dated. If they made a new one, they might ruin it completely.

Banshees are in dire need of "revamping" (tee hee, I love that joke!)

Wraiths are still some of the finest VC models going. New Plastic ones would be a bit more nice, bit theres not much else you can do with them for posing with just a sythe. If the current metal ones were plastic, that would be deadly ( I might be a bit biased because the current wraiths got me into VC)

There are new Wights? About time! ...although it wasn't that hard to make your own, with just an elite live solders body and a skull for a head. Chaos warriors don't really work, but the bits off the knight sprue (sword, torso and the hand with the helmet) work very well.

Wow, I just typed a lot.
Ouch, my f***ing fingers!
 
Hello

That would be his "COD" piece, V. I don't expect really good mini's from GW anymore they seem to go with a "it's good enough" metallity. I plan on getting the Isabella and a Male Von Carstien for my army.

The dire wolves are wicked!! Those look great, cant see why ppl are complaining abt there. They look just like the dog/creature from pet cememtary
