New models incoming

The new Skaven do look rather epic, almost makes me wish I played AoS. I wonder if they will do something similar to the 40k Indomidus/Leviathan boxes- you get the monopose units but they are either turned into multi-part kits or at a minimum given different weapon options.
I was hoping there would be another kit with the option for no shields (as was the case with the previous clanrats, who were different from the WFB IoB push-fits). But I don't know whether that's an option in the battle tome.
Possibly. That would make sense... But since when have GW ever made sense?
The new AoS apparently treats the exact equipment of a lot of units as largely cosmetic, so whether or not they have shields probably doesn't count.
Edit: I mean, I think that's more of a good thing? Nothing was as annoying as having a bunch of shiny new models you could equip with weapons that were either cool, or weapons that the meta demanded were useful. Also because the meta changes constantly and a ton of models always gathered dust on shelves. Now it's "just do whatever you think looks cool" with older kits and the new kits are geared towards that. I for one am not sad about that, because sure enough whatever I wanted to equip anything with usually wound up being less useful rules-wise.

The cannon/organ gun kit will be available to order soon...
Sunday Preview – Don Your Hunting Rig and Enter Hive Secundus
TBF, I prefer the Marauder Dwarf cannon, as the all metal construct doesn't look right.
Noooooo... They've not brought back the classic 4th edition miners and the old metal cannon and organ gun. They looked so much better than these crappy plastic ones.
They'll be separate boxes so probably something like £35 each, so £70 for a full gang. Not sure what that comes to in freedom bucks.
Have plenty of Mantic's fantasy figures, but they're not always the best concerning details. These miners look like Mantic products premium priced for punters!
The metal versions would be $47 for the command and $53 for the troopers.
I've already got 15 of the classic ones I just need 5-10 more to finish the regiment and I object to paying EBay scalper prices.
I just saw a list of WoC stuff that's apparently returning for The Old World. I didn't realise that half of it had gone (despite being an ex-WoC player). I remember some of those kits being new. No sign, yet at least, of the short-lived Forsaken kit returning.
Didn't remember having any of those and a quick search of the dwarves I have confirmed that, unfortunately. Some metal clansmen, thunderers and even classic slayers in blisters but no candle miners. Message me if you looking for any of those.
So there's a trailer out for the new Killteam. Seems it's Scions with jetpacks vs. Tau Vespids. So that's cool, I like that KT explores smaller aspects of the different factions that will never see a full army release, like Navy Breachers and Beastmen.
Too bad for the people who had their hopes on Elysian drop troops, but I figured if at all, it would be a KT release or something similar.
