April 2024 review
Welcome to May 2024! A lot of things going on behind the scenes, as May is packed with tasks. Just last friday the 4th shipment of Warhammer Age of Sigmar Stormbringer arrived!
While we continue with the Stormcast Eternals warband for Warcry, a lot of the content might be interesting for reviews, just like we did with the Annihilators. With the items from the Stormbringer shipment 3 (Issue 08 to 13) and shipment 4 (Issue 14 to 19), we will very likely cover the following kits, including two Warhammer Underworld warbands:
Age of Sigmar – Stormcast Eternals Lord Imperatant with Gryph Hound
With issue 08 of Age of Sigmar Stormbringer we get another hero for the Stormcast Eternals, a Lord Imperatant with Gryph Hound. Don't worry, this is not one of the models that is going to be culled.
Age of Sigmar – Stormcast Eternals Annihilators
I grabbed these Annihilators as a reinforcement for the Warcry Stormcast Eternals Warband, that I built from the Stormbringer subscription. While I was looking, if I could get the push-fit ones from Dominion, the price of the proper multi-part kit was so close, that I went for the "real deal".
These are like I said, the multi-part not push-fit from Dominion (picture on the left), and you get a box with three sprues, options for having them either wield a two-handed hammer or hammer and shield, along with three round bases and an instruction leaflet including the warscroll. The price of these is 45 EUR RRP, but I managed to pick them up at a sale for 27 EURs.
March 2024 review
While longer than february, the month of march felt shorter. So what happened?
This month two deliveries of Stormbringer arrived, with most recently the 3rd shipment of magazine 8 to 13, we already covered on here.
Warhammer Fantasy – Classic Bretonnian Squires
Among the releases Games Workshop provided with one of the last waves for the Bretonnians in Warhammer The Old World were some not made-to-order classic miniatures, the Bretonnian Squires with Bows. I have used the metal casting for classic OOP miniatures in the past, most recently with some Bretonnian characters on foot and mounted on a Pegasus.
With the squires, I bought those blisters as well, but unlike in the past, it took quite long to deliver. Usually the items are sent out so that they arrive on release day, but it seems that is not the case more, in my case they even shipped them after the release day and only arrived a week later.
Age of Sigmar Stormbringer Magazine 08 to 13
Last Thursday the next shipment of the German Issues of Stormbringer by Hachette arrived, issues #08 to 13. We're now with the 6 issue packs which will continue til the end of the run. In case of the subscriptions they are packed differently from the regular newsagent variant.
If you want to take a look back on the last shipment, issues o4 to 07, you can do so here.
Age of Sigmar Warcry – Stormbringer Exclusive Stormcast Eternals Praetor Prime
A special miniature that came with the last Stormbringer shipment is the limited release or exclusive to the magazine Praetor Prime, and was released with issue number 04.
A prime of any Stormcast Eternals unit is their champion and as such this Praetor Prime is not a named character (unfortunately), but the champion of the unit if Praetors coming with issue number 15 in April 2024.
Blood Bowl – High Elves Team Part 1
We gave you an introduction on the stock for 3rd edition Blood Bowl High Elves and now it is time to muster a team for the Chaosbunker Blood Bowl League (CBL). We did it similar in the article on the Chaos-Team, with the fitting name "for the love of the game", and we will do the same now for the team from Ulthuan.
Unlike the chaos team, I don't need to strip the miniatures. They are cleaned, based and primed and basically ready to get painted. But that's the current problem - decisions over decisions on team names and colours.
Blood Bowl – 1994s High Elves Galadrieth Gladiators Team
The Mordheim Marauders qualified their franchise for the participation in the Chaosbunker Blood Bowl League (CBL), now it is time to see who Elves ... pardon, who else will join.
Next up is a team of High Elves and we're going to give you an introduction, just like we did with the 1994 Chaos All-Stars Team.
Age of Sigmar Stormbringer Magazine 04 to 07
The next shipment of the German Issues of Stormbringer by Hachette arrived, issues #04 to 07.
We showed you the initial shipment with the first three issues over here, and continue today with the next four issues, covering the first paints and further miniatures.
