    Not as entranced by the big magic thing as I was by the Coven Throne but it is still rather pretty.

    My thoughts:



    Cover: I like it, his face is a bit odd but if I wanted an army of pretty boys I'd play High Elves (which I do as well, come to think of it)

    Griffon/Karl Franz: Love it, just love it. The griffon looks magnificient, the double headed version slightly less so but still nice. Karl Franz/general looks lovely.

    War Altar. For the first time I actually want a war altar, never cared for it in the past. So pretty now. Ditto the celestial thingamy and luminark.

    The Witch hunter is nice, the amber wizard less so. Naked woodsmen not really my thing. Want a better look at Markus before I venture an opinion.

    Master Engineer/Captain plastics: Gorgeous.

    Demigryph knights: So much better than I was expecting, I love them. Really love them.

    GW, it is only April and you've already knocked it out of the wossname with VC and now Empire. Argh, I love that griffon so much. I want a pet griffon.

    That Griffon is awesome. I love that tiger paint scheme. The other models leave me a bit underwhelmed. I don't really know what I was expecting stuff to look like but I guess I was expecting a bit more wow. The recent fantasy releases have been outstanding. This...not so much.

    Wow that griffon is really something, that just oozes majesty in that pose, so much badass wrapped up in that figure. Liking the look of the rest, especially the new figure for Volkmar the Grim. the Demigryph knights are a lot better than I thought they would be (didn't like the FW one at all), even more so when seen as a unit together.

    The Wizard War Altars are pretty cool, especially the Celestial one, I can see the giant astrolabe on top of that being used for scenery (it would look a lot better atop that recent tower than the skeletal air traffic controller for sure!)

    My only complaint is the book cover, because it looks like the captain there has been drinking rather heavily, cos his nose seems to be bright red! Though to be fair if my job involved facing off against some of the horrors the Empires troops routinely have to deal with, I think heavy drinking would be the least I'd do to cope with it!

    Actually two complaints, because no sign of warrior priests of Ulric & Morr, the Empire does not just worship Sigmar!

    Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a worrying thought!

    Almost universally lovely stuff, especially excited about K.F and Volkmar - not 100% on the captain and some of the options on the big kits yet, may need to see them in person.

    Agreed. What an amazing kit. I can't get over how nice it looks. So regal, so lordly. Amazing.

    Well, that's because the previous model was a giant, stinky, piece of poop. My only problem with the new one is that I like all three variants far too much. That means I'm going to be in for three boxes. Doh!

    The Witch hunter is nice, the amber wizard less so. Naked woodsmen not really my thing. Want a better look at Markus before I venture an opinion.

    Master Engineer/Captain plastics: Gorgeous.
    Strange; I figured naked woodsmen would be RIGHT up your ally . I like all of the single pieces. GW really hitting it out of the park with the new plastic characters, it makes me hope that they move to them completely.

    Demigryph knights: So much better than I was expecting, I love them. Really love them.
    Agreed. I think they're lovely. My only hope is that they scaled them correctly so that Bruckner fits in a unit with them.

    Wow, GW. Just wow. Home run here.

    Solid release all around. These will make fine additions to my Averland force.

    I rather like the big griffon, but the demigryphs do nothing for me. We'll see how I feel about them after I see them in person.

    I love the book cover. Is that Paul Bonner's handiwork?

    Yeah I think going this route would have been a lot better than Finecast, and hopefully in time they might well drop Finecast and move to plastics entirely, because nobody does plastic figures anywhere near as good as they do.
