Leaked Images: New Tau vs Raven Guard

This morning brought news of a particularly exciting supplement for me. Tau vs Raven Guard: My original army against one that I've been building for some time now. It looks like a Stormclaw style "Space Marines vs" box. If it is, I'm almost certainly going to get it. Looking at the minis, there's a bit of redundancy in the things I already own (like the pathfinders & stealth team), but I still need the Piranha, & all the Space Marine side.

The new Tau include a great looking new Ethereal. It looks like an updated version of Aun Shi. I like it.

The Breachers are also neat looking. Sure It's basically just a new helmet & weapons, but I still like the angular design

There appears to be a new fortification called the Tidewall Rampart. Maybe a heavy duty Aegis?

The Raven Guard side has only one new model, a captain with a grav pistol. Not super Raven Guardy, but not a bad design. I haven't been buying minis for a while, but I'll 

I'm currently in high school classrooms & at college, working on my Masters in Teaching so life's been a bit hectic, which is why I've been away from the blog for a while, but I'm updating where I can. I have a few things that I'm working on slowly, & I'll post those when I get the chance.

Take care all.

Leaked 30k Plastic Marine sprues

I just came across this & had to share. It looks like the sprues of Heresy Era marines that've been rumored. They look pretty great & should make some great armies. 

The special characters

The chests & packs

The arms & bolters

Shoulder Pads & Special Weapons

More Age of Sigmar leaks

   There are a whole lot of new shots from the upcoming White Dwarf, but more important than the pictures is the fact this White Dwarf will come with a sample miniature from the upcoming Age of Sigmar box. The last time I remember them doing this was when Assault on Black Reach came out... Wow, I'm old. 

Either way, it looks like it's a Stormcast Eternal trooper. I'm getting one for the heck of it. If I can get it all prepped & ready I might even paint it for my challenge next month.

The rest appear to be straight out of the White Dwarf itself. 

I'm not sure what this guy's deal is, but it makes me wonder if this is how everybody looks under their helmets. It could explain why they're called eternals.

A New Shots of Sigmarites & Chaos

Just a quick update on leaked shots. We have three more images this morning. One showing what I assume is the White Dwarf cover, a second giving better detail on a Sigmarite trooper and a Chaos guy (I think he's a beast handler of some sort), and a third shot of how the Sigmarite minis snap together.

The thing I'm looking forward to seeing the most is a clear detail shot of those winged units. I'm pretty excited about them & I'm definitely eyeballing them for a Saint Celestine conversion.

Leaked Shots of Age of Sigmar

This morning I woke ups to some fun leaks. (plus some great news)

It looks like Age of Sigmar has some new shots from an upcomgin White Dwarf, and it's pretty cool.

These shots appear to be from the Age of Sigmar box set. I'd read the box set contents the other day, but wasn't really prepared for new, drastically different sculpts. I suppose the Chaos units look like things we've seen before, but I wasn't expecting these kind of minis from the Empire.

 and let me be the first to say that it is unfair how cool the Empire minis look. I mean really: Golden-armored knights flanked by flying warriors (expect to see some Custodes conversions from these guys)? I felt a great disturbance, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

More photos from Cult Mechanicus: Battle Servitors & Priests

Some great new shots this afternoon clearly showing some of the new line of minis. I like the electro-priests a great deal more than I was expecting based on the first poster shot.

More Cult Mechanicus: Kastelan Robot Maniple

This morning we also have some clearer views of the Kastelan Robot Maniple.  I'm still not totally sold on them, but I'll hold off on judgement until I see them in person.

New Cult Mechanicus leaks

Today we have a fresh leak of shots from the New Cult Mechanicus line. Surprisingly it looks like we're seeing four, or maybe five, new units in a single photo. It looks like they put all the new Mechanicus units onto a poster in a White Dwarf. The more the merrier I say.

I dig everything but the big robots. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but round-edged mech-warrior style suits wasn't it. Other than that, the Tech Priest Dominus, Electro-Priests, and Battle Servitors all look stellar. I'm super excited at the idea of converting those treads onto some other unit. I'm not sure yet, but I bet you could fit Centurion torsos onto the bases to make rolling space marine tanks. Kinda like mini Lord of Skulls.

Also, on the back you can see the cover for the new codex in the lower left.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I was hoping for a fast attack unit that featured some kind of steampunk wings. Kinda like the Convergence's Clockwork Angels. I guess it wasn't in the cards.

Codex Craftworld Eldar leaks are here

Just today we've gotten our first images of the new Eldar cover and minis. This includes the much-needed Jetbike Warlock (now called a Skyrunner) and what appears to be a Swooping Hawks themed Autarch. Everything looks good so far, and I imagine we'll be seeing more in the next few weeks (fingers crossed for plastic aspect warriors). As a side note the fact it's called Craftworld Eldar gives me a glimmer of hope that we may someday see an Exodite Eldar mini-dex. It's unlikely, but I can dream.

More Adeptus Mechanicus: Ruststalkers & Inflitrators

We have more Adeptus Mechanicus today. Looks like a nice sized release for the Omissiah worshipers.

I'm not as big on the Infiltrators, in part because the heads remind me of the Privateer Press Convergence, but I am pretty fond of the Ruststalker leader mini. Come to think of it, anyone could use convergence minis for Mechanicus models. It's not as grim-dark, but it'd be a pretty easy to turn a few into special characters at least.
