I recently learned a bunch of the troop names helping a friend start 40k with ravenguard, but all the tanks and other stuff *fwoosh* over my head

God I love skaven. They have a massive warp powered Gatling gun but still use a tricycle and rats to push it around.

Absolutely fantastic models. Fun fact it was actually the old metal Rat Ogre models that got me into the hobby back when I was a kid. (Amongst other things. The Emperor titan vs Mega Gargant artwork being another big influence)

Cant speak for the stormy boys but the skaven side of the box is amazing. Three heroes, all of which you'll likely want multiple of, a full unit of jezzails, rat ogres and a artillery piece and two full units of clan rats. Unlike oops all tzaangors as an example, having a ton of clan rats is very welcomed, you always rin 2-4 full units of em. Absolutely great box

What I think is particularly nice about that Skaven force is that people with older Skaven armies look like they're still going to be able to play a lot of their stuff. The clanrats, Rat Ogres, Grey Seer and Jezzails don't look all that different to models that have been around for 20 years, so aside from a little re-basing people should be good to go. Compare that to how Stormcast players have been treated recently and the contrast is pretty stark!

The Skaven look really good to me. The guy on the Rat Beast thingy probably has a Halberd which is a traditional Skaven weapon and chieftains get them a lot.

i really like almost all of these, the skaven look so good, basically just like i always imagined them, and the stormcast are a big improvement versus the first gen ones. i have a few stomcast, though mostly the invalidated ones, but i never got round to painting up most of the dominion ones, so i think i might have a fresh start with them. they definitely look better when they're not painted gold

I wholeheartedly support your entrance into AoS but only as pertains to Skaven. Any time that would have been spent on AoS videos for any other faction should instead be spent on drinking margaritas, having nice warm bubble baths, and taking luxurious naps, because we don't deserve you and you should take time for yourself. Except for Skaven. Always more Skaven videos.

I don't play Stormcast but I'm tempted to pick up a set of prosecutors off of ebay, those wings looks like a ton of fun to paint.

really like the new Skaven. have been thinking about starting skaven for some time and this makes me think about it even more :D

I am really just looking forward to what they are doing with the Skaven so I can finish building out my Old World (aka Warhammer Fantasy) army of them. But I guess I could use the Stormcast as alternates for my 40K Inquisitor armies.

Bro, this is perfect I’ve been trying to get it age of Sigmar recently especially Skaven models, but there’s somehow so hard to find for some reason and the really interesting models are so expensive and this is great so i’m starting in a brand new addition and all the new models

Yay! AOS content! Very happy to see you are branching out.

I appreciate the blue moon AoS video from auspex. I would love it if we got more but I'll take what I can get.

AoSpex Tactics

Why does the lord vigilant have a picture of Nagash on his shield?

My problem with this box has always been the price. Everything about its contents is fantastic, but at 450 dollars Australian, we are being squeezed more than any other country in which it's sold. I remember when an honorable mention for expensive miniature boxes was "Any box, but you buy it in Australia", and it has only gotten worse since that point. I feel completely priced out of the hobby, so that GW can get a better profit margin from the middle class hobbyists. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth knowing i wont be able to get one, or even split one because even split it is 225 dollars each. Just ridiculous, and I love everything that comes in it too.

Aside from the Liberators, which I'm still unsure about (it's the "Squidward" helmets, really), I like the glow-up of the new Stormcast models. They look positively sick. Speaking of sick, the Skaven aren't bad either. Personally, I think the Clanrats could have done with being a little less busy, since you'll be painting tons of them. But they're all very pretty. Especially those Rat Ogres. Since you couldn't get the Isle of Blood sculpts, that unit badly needed a refresh. They look positively dope. Unrelated, I'm looking forward to how 40K players will kitbash the models from this box into their game. That axe-wielding Stormcast could make for a mean Master of Executions.

Those ratling guns are gonna be prime basilisks for the rat-guard

What about the little howling wolf thing up the back next to the jezzails?

Love the AOS coverage! Highly underrated game and system

Seeing you do your usual video format for 40k for AoS makes me wish you covered more AoS content, even if it is just for new models release. I used to watch so many of your videos back when i played 40k but i have moved on to AoS now and this makes me miss your vids.

I love the AoS content! Hope you do more

The Skaven look amazing and im looking forward to the next few releases. The Art is particular beautiful this time. Terrain is nice but nothing special. Seems like more of a bonus. The Sigmarines look also really nice. Especially the heroes.

Now I have watchers in the dark for my Dark Angels and my Stormcast. Sweet!

From a painter's perspective I really like the set. Plenty to paint when you want the glimmer of well polished armor or the grimy of the rats when that is your mood to paint. But ouch it would take a while to paint it all.

The storm cast would be good to kitbask to some custodians or some dark angels.

I have to assist say this looks great. I dont play either army, but the remodels are great, especially the Skaven. The Rat ogres and Grey Seers being the standouts for me. Well done GW

What I like about the stormcast is that they give me kitbashing materials for custodes

This is a FANTASTIC box! I'll be splitting it with the local Skaven player.

Love the Skaven of this set. But I am biased, the warp stone addicted rats are one of my favorite factions in AoS and Old World

Does anyone know if this box will come with ‘starter’ campaigns to help new players learn the way the Extremis box set did for 3rd edition?

AOS needs their own Horus Heresy type story to really get going. I love the models. I just need that hook to really suck me into to the setting.

Got to love when the Clawlord brings his wife to battle! Can’t wait to see more Skaven Models!

This is amazing, I can use it to kitbash my wordbearers army to no tomorrow. Stormcast makes for amazing wordbearers.

I'll be going hard Skaven. Only complaint, make it 20 clan rats and a pack of Gutter Runners or Storm Vermin

The big draw here is really the resculpts since the old range of skaven is pretty much 20-25 years old. The Skaven side is fine because of the clan rats. Every Skaven player will need to get the resculpts. We'll have to see if the Rat ogres are actually good because they were eh in 3.

£160 is too much IMO. It needs to be south of £130, so as to land under a ton once a 20% online reseller discount kicks in to be an impulse buy. Maybe for those who want both forces, and the rulebook perhaps - but its too much to ask for a monopose starter set otherwise. I also don't get the urge to bundle the full hardback book in every new launch box, when a smaller, paperback rules-only box is a better fit for the existing players who seem to drive most of the sames of these. Drop the price by 30 quid RRP and stick a players manual with just the rules in it instead.

May buy the Rat half just to play One Page Rules!
