New models incoming
- Thread starter Malika
- Start date
it is, it was included in the 'new product announcement livestream' a while back
(if I recall it well the showcase future a prettier paint job)
There was no announcement or showcase of this model- it has all been from leaked photos. There is currently no official confirmation or denial of the Butcher-Surgeon.
I remember seeing it in a better picture somewhere before;
but for the moment I could only trace a b&c topic
Berserker Surgeon? Real or Fake.
Real or fake you decide. Image been floating around, thoughts?
bolterandchainsword.com
Which is a rumor topic- the original picture with the box, and the newer one I was given that looks to be in-hand, are both off of WE discord chats. The shoulder claw/injector does match a Rumor Engine post, but that's it.
I remember another picture...
but I can't find it so take that with a grain of salt...
In other news, the pre-order for Warhammer Quest has gone up, and it's a hefty 206€/180£ investment.
I'm torn on this. On the one hand, it is very expensive. On the other, you do get a ton of stuff, almost 50 miniatures, a mountain of tokens and maps, etc. Will probably still wait until reviews of the rules become more substantial, and if it's still available then, I'll consider it.

I kid you not, in this case GW isn't that insane, it's on par with other boardgames like that.
Descent Legends costs about 180$, and has far fewer figures at a lower quality. Twilight Imperium's newest expansion, just the expansion, sets you back 134$ with the game and both expansions weighing in at an eye-watering 441$. Frosthaven, which blows Warhammer Quest out of the water in terms of complexity (and sheer weight) but not in quality of materials comes in at 279$.
The prices for modern board games in certain segments are just stratospheric, so for once, GW are only middling in their insanity.

$255 for 45 minis (49 but 4 are token-style little things), is...ok? If you add in that it is a full, self-contained game, I think it is an alright amount. If you look at the Saturnine starter set for HH, it is running at $322 for 50 models. Saturnine comes with 2 characters, a dread, 6 termies, and a gun platform along with various marine bodies versus the 11 character/hero minis that Darkwater comes with. Whether that is worth $70 more seems like a personal opinion, but for the price I honestly think Darkwater isn't that bad. All of the minis look pretty good, especially the Nurgle ones, and I can see a lot of people picking them up just as cool painting projects.
Now, I'm not an AoS player, so I don't know if any of the models are playable there, but I have a feeling that most if not all can be subbed in as various characters/units or used in addition to others. 11 of the minis are character/hero models, so if GW was just to release those solo you'd be looking at a minimum of $385, if you count heroes getting the $35 individual model price.
Personally, I only really like a couple of the models for conversions, as that is what I usually do with AoS models- convert them into Necromunda or Imperial Agents (Inquisition weirdos). I also don't really play this type of game (I play 40k, Necro, BT, and Trench Crusade) so the box isn't for me. For someone who is into boardgames or is maybe not a gamer but looking to get into the painting/modeling aspect, I think there is a lot to like with Darkwater even at that pretty high price point.

Still wondering one thing: The Dome Runner hanger-on has, per the current rules I have available, a stub gun, and the only reason to take him is if you happen to have the ruined dome territory. Did he get any new rules I missed?
Not that this will stop me from getting that box, btw, just wondering.

Well, I'll put it this way: I collect the books as well, I just left out the Aranthian succession so far because there were other books to get first which interested me more. If Spire of Primus contains a lot of stuff I like, I will buy it, and take a closer look at the other books as well.
If not, a plain Excel sheet containing rules will appear on my computer in due time. Which rules those will be I am not at liberty to discuss, but I can say that while I am no marine biologist, I do know a few whales.

i have absolutely no idea how you just looped marine wildlife in this topic and I hope you don't call fellow yaktribers 'whales'
but I understand the general gist of your argument
