Yes their sculpts are amazing but as a gamer they are a nightmare due to trying to get them to places without breaking. I have a Nighthaunt army that I've used once as the majority of it is too fragile to put in any sort of transport case.

The new gravelords do look incredible.

I wish AoS4.0 was easier to get excited about, but the design team continues to absolutely kill it.

tomjmegan.bsky.social•39 days ago

They really do - one of my favourite ranges, and indeed factions.

Still haven’t tried AoS, but seem to be coalescing around the idea of painting two starter forces for CoS and Gravelords to give it a go!

i started using putrid blightkings as nurgle terminators because they're more interesting sculpts, 40k is in a weird very "safe" design space for sure

tomjmegan.bsky.social•39 days ago

Now that’s a good idea!

failnaut.bsky.social•39 days ago

worked out pretty well :)

failnaut.bsky.social•39 days ago

some WIP shots, it was a fun mini kitbash

gunpowderdan.bsky.social•40 days ago

I like the CSM minis but otherwise yes much of the current 40k range is not to my taste (with some exceptions). Soulblight Gravelords look great, even if they should still be Vampire Counts in my opinion

dennett86.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have an unnecessary urge to kitbash the Soulblight with Tomb Kings!! I currently own neither army!!

gunpowderdan.bsky.social•40 days ago

Would love to see that. This is my current (mostly finished) collection of Soulblight Gravelords

dennett86.bsky.social•40 days ago

Oh they are lovely! I've got 20 tomb king skeletons I was going to use as a test so might get some deathrattle skeletons and so how they mix together!

gunpowderdan.bsky.social•39 days ago

The death rattles are really nice minis, you should go for it!

dennett86.bsky.social•39 days ago

It's tempting but some way down the priority list after finishing off Ultramarines and Tyranids! But as a something different inbetween all of that could be fun.

andreasefternamn.bsky.social•40 days ago

Agreed, the new Emperors Children look cool but can't compare to any of this!

bigred40tech.bsky.social•40 days ago

The Revenant Drakolich looks better than the normal ones because it doesn't have the dumb body-hair and beard. lol

rokminis.bsky.social•40 days ago

The difference is quite staggering. These are phenomenal. Really updated style, still so evocative of classic Fantasy. They walked a tightrope with this one and nailed it

tomjmegan.bsky.social•40 days ago

100% mate - every release, they just nail it. Consistently. And just blow 40K away, at least in my opinion!

rokminis.bsky.social•40 days ago

It’s the opinion of almost everyone I speak to about the hobby so I don’t think we are alone!
Ok the Black Knights I prefer the current ones but they’re still great and the heroes are mind blowing!

jetshroom.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree with this a lot. It feels like AoS sculpting has a lot more freedom to play with design etc and I wonder if that's a result of the age of the game.

Side note, I'm so pumped for this release. I'm deep in the Soulblight juice.

wargamingluke.bsky.social•40 days ago

AOS minis are top tier! 👌🏻

tomjmegan.bsky.social•39 days ago

They really are. Way beyond my painting skill, but they’re amazing to look at! 👍🏻
