Hey all! Another reminder for those who don’t already know, I have a creator-owned graphic novel which is always looking for new readers. It’s called GUERILLAS and it’s about an experimental platoon of chimpanzees in Vietnam. They’ve been forced to fight in a war that has nothing to do with them and they’re starting to realize that living in the jungle is much better than fighting in it. They can’t talk, but they do smoke. Nuff said. - #chimps #chimpanzees #war #vietnam #monkey #action #adventure #charactersketch #comics #warcomics #comicartwork #comicartists #comicartistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3fTmQqYNl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As someone not playing AoS I can only be baffled how they can deal with that sort of formating. As this unit exists both in 40k and AoS it's easy to do a direct comparision. Just click on each and compare it in terms of readablilty. Absolute night and day.
The 40k one looks like an actual sensible way to display information in a somewhat orderly fashion. Meanwhile the AoS one looks like someone with a paint bucket clowned all over it.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Reveals From the Dallas Open 2024
Alright!
When Age of Sigmar 4th Edition was revealed, I was a bit down on it. Part of this was just hearing regurgitated marketing from 10th Edition. Part of it was I didn't like the way they did the reveal show. Part of it was I didn't like the Stormcast half of the cinematic trailer (the Skaven half was awesome!). But, I've been following the reveals for AoS4, including Vince Venturella's Warhammer Weekly podcast. And, with some exceptions, I like what I've seen. I'm still worried, especially for another "buggy" launch, but I do like what they've shown. Tonight, they're doing a big reveal show from the Dallas Open, and I'm hoping to see more.
What I Expect
As almost everyone does, I'm expecting to see the launch box revealed in full. I'm pretty sure we'll get a nice presentation of all the new plastic coming, the new cover of the new rule book, and maybe a few other noteworthy inclusions (got my fingers crossed here.) I'm also expecting to see a few more rules teasers, probably unit profiles for some of the new models. And honestly, that's all I'm actually expecting to see. That's basically what we got with the full Leviathan reveal, and I think that's probably most of what we'll get here too. If we're lucky, we might get to see the two new Spearheads for Stormcast and Skaven, as they're probably in the box.
What I'm Hoping For
However, they need not stop there. First, let's talk inclusions for that big box. I'm hoping it will come with a Battle Tactics deck similar to the Leviathan deck for 40K. We've already seen that the basic Battle Tactics module for AoS4 is pretty bad. But the Battle Tactics deck coming with Spearhead looks awesome, and is very reminiscent of Leviathan. I really want there to be something similar for core AoS.
Next, it would be really nice if they actually put some terrain in the box. This is a reach, since they haven't boxed up any terrain for some time now (outside of ultimate starter sets.) But with new terrain rules it would be nice to see some new terrain. This is very much not likely, but we might see some new Skaven terrain pieces that will be sold later or possibly in some ultimate starter set.
Finally it would be nice to see a roadmap for AoS4 releases. The releases for 40K have been coming nice and fast. I'm hoping they're planning something similar for AoS.
The "Live" Show
D'oh! I it looks like another prerecorded show!
Tumblr media
And there's all our shiny new Stormcast!
Tumblr media
Love this Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker!
Yep its prerecorded interviews on the couch . . .
At least it feels like we're getting more of the minis this time, with multiple views and angles and even different lighting. That's an improvement at least.
"More to come." Better be more, we still got Skaven.
Tumblr media
And here are the rats!
Tumblr media
Yes! Rat Ogors! They look awesome!
Tumblr media
We've already seen the Jezails and the Engineer.
Tumblr media
Finally our big rat on a big rat!
Tumblr media
Love this warp blaster! I'm just all about this.
And back to the interviews! "Yes, players. We here at GW also are constantly waiting for our ranges to get refreshed!" I don't know if this is all the models, but it doesn't feel like enough Skaven for the amount of Stormcast we saw. Like, I feel like there should be a lot more Skaven.
Okay, so with this book reveal, that's probably the box. But they say they're more announcements coming. Let's see what they have planned.
Tumblr media
Looks like this box will come with a separate campaign rulebook.
Oh nope! It's the rules for Spearhead games!
And back to the couch! Here are those marketing points again . . .
Okay, these second and third points are actually new. We know they were building up interactivity in AoS 3rd, but they're trying to keep that going. And from the previews, that seems to be true.
The final point about keeping games close with lots of back and forth moments makes me hope again that we'll get some kind Battle Tactics deck. I'm always a little leery of there being too many catchup mechanics. Again, sometimes the right answer is to shake hands and rack up again. I don't want games to feel like they're scripted. It stifles strategy and can make games predictable.
Tumblr media
Oh! We're getting a simplified version of the Generals Handsbook!
Okay, we already knew about Spearhead, but here are the Skaven and Stormcast Spearheads. As expected, you can make them out of the launch box.
Tumblr media
Sneaking in some new ones too, or at least teasers for them.
Looks like they're going to try to keep the stats the same, even if the rules are unique, so it's somewhat easier to go from Spearhead to the core game. Already had a little difficulty taking new players from Combat Patrol to 40K.
Tumblr media
Don't know if these are from the Vanguards but we've got images of some Nurgle vs. Seraphon.
Okay! We still have some more! Maybe I'll get some of my wishlist tonight!
So here's the full boxset reveal.
Tumblr media
Yeah, 24 Stormcast to 50 Skaven doesn't quite seem right. That is a lot of minis though. These are just all fantastic models. We'll be going through those on their own in a bit.
Tumblr media
Wow! There is a bit, even if only a little bit, of terrain in the box! I'm honestly surprised!
And with that! Hi Adam! Hi Paul!
Okay, other than some Spearhead teasers this was honestly just the boxset stretched out into a 30 minute show. We did get a lot of looks at the miniatures this time, but that's basically it. There were a couple of different tidbits in the interviews, but honestly nothing we haven't already gotten from WarCom.
This really was just 30 minutes of one box.
Oh well, the WarCom articles should be up soon and we'll go through them one by one.
The Miniatures
While the show was honestly stretched out a lot, and didn't really have anything new other than the box contents, there were a lot of miniatures. And we got some loving shots of them this time!
Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker
Tumblr media
Absolutely fantastic piece! While Stormcast helmets can be kind of bland, the crown is nice and the Gryph-Stalker looks incredibly regal.
Lord-Veritant
Tumblr media
They Gryphs don't stop though! Here we have a kind of blind seer look. Again, this model drips character. And there's something about that Gryph-Hound that looks like they are done with your nonsense.
Lord Terminos
Tumblr media
The model for our perspective character from our new cinematic looks absolutely fantastic. They look like they're waiting in silent meditation, along with their attendant, for that moment that Sigmar determines they're needed. I love the details on the cloak too.
Knight-Questor
Tumblr media
Another model that left the helmet at home, this one has a very grizzled veteran look that goes well with their lore.
Reclusians
Tumblr media
Some of our line Stormcast, also with mortal attendants. Again, amazing amount of detail on these miniatures.
Prosecutors
Tumblr media
Here we get my first miss. Most of this is the faces. There's something about them that has kind of that exaggerated, Dredd style faces I've never been particularly fond of. Also the flames coming out of the wings aren't working for me. It feels like they were trying to depict feathers made of magic flame, and I just don't feel they got there.
Liberators
Tumblr media
On the other hand, the Stormcast mass melee has never looked better! These models look absolutely fierce!
And with that, those are our Stormcast models. Now let's look at our rats!
Clawlord on Gnaw-Beast
Tumblr media
Look at him! Look at him! He just looks so awesome and that gnaw-beast looks so nasty! I would not want to get bit by that! Just glorious!
Grey Seer
Tumblr media
I absolutely love this, but I'm having trouble coming up with why. There's a very sinister aspect that's definitely helping. But then I see those rats coming out of the cracked bell. Absolutely awesome!
Rat Ogors
Tumblr media
Possibly my favorite new models. What can I say? I love my big monsters. But seriously these look epic!
Ratling Warpblaster
Tumblr media
I love steampunk, and Skaven tech (as well as Kharadron) have a very nice steampunk aesthetic. The goggles and his intense aiming also remind me a bit of WoW style Gnome/Goblin engineering. And it's all contrasted by the absolute raggedness of the Skaven pushing the machine.
Warlock Engineer
Tumblr media
And here's one that's a slight miss, emphasis on slight there, but I honestly can't tell you why. I think maybe they look just a bit too dignified? I'm really struggling to explain why this isn't working for me.
Clanrats
Tumblr media
And here they are! Our new clanrats! And they're an appropriately motley crew. Lots of fun here!
Warplock Jezzails
Tumblr media
I've seen these already too, and I still love them. I like the design of the shield and brace. And I absolutely love the sinister expressions on these rats, befitting a sneaky sniper assassin.
Final Thoughts
So this was all box and miniatures, as I said, stretched out over 30 minutes. We really didn't get a lot of new info, save for some teased Spearheads and the surprise of a Spearhead book and GHB in the box. Oh yeah! And somehow I got my wish for a handful of terrain for this launch box!
Miniature wise we're a little bit more than Leviathan, though there were a handful of really big kits in that box. We technically did get two books in Leviathan, as the Leviathan book included the Leviathan Crusade book. The hardcover Spearhead book will be nice, though I'm pretty sure that will be available free online.
But Skaventide is also including a lot of play aids, including cards for both the Warscrolls and GHB rules. On the balance I think they'll be mostly comparable boxes.
And I love Skaven! I love villain factions that are full of character and personality, and Skaven have it in spades! And I really do love the new Stormcast models too. But I'm a little sad that GW has decided to keep using Stormcast as their launch faction. I know they're the poster child for AoS, but I feel that things like this have a huge effect on how factions are perceived. New factions in launch boxes experience spikes in popularity. Where as if one faction is constantly focused on, well just look at all the Ultramarines memes.
Tomorrow we go back to the grimdark future. But I don't feel like reacting to another of the prerecorded shows. I think I might, emphasis might, watch it, but then just look at the miniatures on WarCom. I want them to go back to actual live shows with at least some audience interaction.

Going to stay off tumblr a few more days. Actually feeling mentally better.
I have a psych appointment next week, so might stay off (regularly) until after that.
I will still check the tags sometimes, but I deleted the app from my phone and set a timer on how long I can use it on my desktop.

Another reminder that the other book that I illustrated last year (written by @ronaldwimberly) is also currently in stores and available to buy! It’s called Now Let Me Fly, and it’s about the first black fighter pilot in WWI. But really, it encompasses so much than that. It’s a true-life adventure that flies you around the the world, from the boxing rings of Paris to the trenches of World War I. It’s being published by @01firstsecond so I’ll let them tell you more. - NOW LET ME FLY From author Ronald Wimberly, creator of the viral comic Lighten Up, comes a soaring graphic biography that casts new light on the first African-American fighter pilot. On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was a refugee of the Jim Crow South who was determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a fellow human being. His search took him from rural Georgia to the streets of Paris, from the vaudeville stage to the boxing ring, and finally, from the muddy trenches to the open skies. In 1914, Bullard joined the fight to defend France—and made history as the world’s first African American fighter pilot. In this candid but sensitive portrait of Bullard, author Ronald Wimberly balances the personal and the historical to interrogate concepts of cynicism, idealism, fear, glory, and the pervasiveness of anti-Black racism. - Unfortunately it’s not coming out until January 3, 2023. For more information, and to pre-order, check out the ‘Now Let Me Fly’ link in my bio. - #ronwimberly #eugenebullard #wwi #ww1 #biplane #boxing #blackhistory #graphicnovel #warcomics #firstsecond #illustrationsketch #sketchbook #characters #charactersketch #comics #comicartist #comicartwork #comicartists #comicartistsoninstagram #digitalsketch #photoshop #cintiq https://www.instagram.com/p/ConO1bMqI5Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So i enjoy looking up at characters lore and diversity, i think it really adds to the game and i know allt of people don't care about them and are there to just shoot but alas .. also since u brought up Mara, i saw one article explain her 'lore' and it says how her CIA background fits perfectly with other operators in the faction such as Ghost, Charly and Soap but I'm confused like how?? Aren't the three of them SAS and plus majority of them share no connection with her anyways? am i missing something or was this misinterpreted? not to mention ghost and soap play bigger roles while some are mp only characters that were present in the battlepass
well they're all big on intel. technically theyre all connected bc like everyone got brought together to find zakhaev/help clear out verdansk but it all fell apart. shes in warcom which is ran by general lyons and its an exclusive club so shes really good at her job which puts her in line w SAS as well. AND. otter is actually the one who got wyatt his job at warcom so like the two squads (three if you count demon dogs also. since theyre the 3rd half of coalition) probably are better connected than most.
