Hey I'm new to War Hammer 40 000 and I know who Space Marines are (for the emprah!) But can someone tell me who the two other characters are and what factions they belong too?

Vastly prefer this model of Titus to the previous one. The fur cloak is really cool. Great to see Gadriel and Metaurus get models too. Chairon would have been cool though. The regular human models are pretty great too.
It's strange seeing this much synergy from GW

New Maggotkin models look excellent, especially the Rotswords and Sloven Knights (strong name). Festus is a great centrepiece model but I have mixed feelings about his return. The new Blightkings look more kingly, but not convinced they needed the refresh
#warhammercommunity
Maggotkin Rotswords, armoured infantry for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. They are Nurgle marked Chaos Warriors wearing corroded green armour, armed with hand weapons and shields. Their helmets have horns or antlers and multiple small eye holes. Some of them have mutations and exposed skin Maggotkin Sloben Knights, heavy calvary for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The riders look similar to the Rotswords with additional cloaks. The horses they ride are diseased and malformed.

Festus is a large bloated creature wearing a hood, sitting on a rickety wooden throne. A large worm like creature is attached to his stomach and holding up a diseased victim.

Still got thoughts on the recent preview, new models for Cathay was my highlight. Understand why some people feel it's a bit soon but they'll finally play and look like a fleshed out army now.
The crowman familiar is amazing, glad Old World keeps giving wizards weird little guys
#WarhammerCommunity

They are highly decorated wearing colourful robes and cloaks of reds, blues and golds. They have ornate staffs and feather decorations on their hats.

The Nurgle side of Warhammer Quest has some interesting minis, Mulgoth and the Blight Templars being highlights. Also cool to see some regular human cutlists, I like how GW went for a more withered and frail look for them compared to most Nurgle models
#WarhammerCommunity
Mulgoth the Cleaver model for Warhammer Quest. A champion of Nurgle wearing corroded green armour and helmet with a ring of eye holes and two antlers. He he wileds a large axe in his right hand, his left arm is mutated, now gigantic and features no armour 3 Blight Templar models for Warhammer Quest.

Find it funny after saying the models don't look as Old World as the box art did, GW reveal a straight up Jade Wizard who wouldn't look out of place in an Empire army. Looks great! Less keen on the manbeasthing. Kurnothi aren't my thing but looks a good model
#warhammercommunity

#WarhammerCommunity
Beorg Bearstruck, a large were-bear as he appears in the Total War Warhammer III DLC Tides of Torment The original model of Beorg Bearstruck from the mid (late?) 90s. His originaly model looks leaner and gaglier than his Total War apperance

Despite how Old World I felt the box art was, the models are firmly in the realms of AoS (the dwarf gives me Warcraft vibes?) Water Lady could make a cool Brettonian Damsel though! Box seems interesting so far, looking forward to seeing the full reveal soon!

- Fights alongside the peasantry
- Can block a blow from an Ushabti using a greatsword

Looks like I painted a real one

Oh new Marauders look excellent! They look a bit better dressed for dealing with cold Norsca! I’m surprised to see them, all the rumours made it seem like they were a while off. Shame there’s no female options though
#warhammercommunity

Throughout the new Dawn of the Storm Dragon AJ there's art of Chaos Marauders with a new look; different helmets, cloaks new weapons, more covered up, fangs.

We've had art of new minatures pre-release before (wizards and Kralmaw in the rule book), new maruader kit incoming?

I heard rumours about an AOS Nurgle themed Warhammer Quest but I honestly thought this was for Old World at first glance. This might give credence to the rumours of a new Old World style dwarfs in AOS (Fyreslayers folded in) and Bretonnia inspired humans
Box art for Warhammer Quest: Dark Water. The cover features suspiciously Old World coded heroes (not Bretonnia damsel, not Bretonnia knight, not Empire knight and not dwarf ranger) surrounded by Nurgle forces (pestigors, Nurgle chaos warriors) in flooded ruins

The (photoshopped) army of Infamy in the article belong to Lord Ortega from The Old World map who is Estalian. Sounds like there might be more to it than just Empire + some Bretonnian units. There's been so many rumours going round about this one

#warhammercommunity
A Border Prince Army of Infamy for Warhammer The Old World featuring Empire and Bretonnian units in a navy blue and red colour scheme with a fortress emblem Screenshot from an Old World including Heraldry of a Border Prince featuring a red fort flanked by a crescent moon and star on a navy shield. The text reads: Lord Fulma Ortega, Don of the Red River "What crimes Lord Ortega comitted in Estalia, none can remember, for he has resided in the Border Princes for three score years and more"

New Tomb King models under two years old look like they're getting fully replaced by the new plastic kit. I doubt it'll happen but it would be nice if they were repacked together and re-released, similar to how both Empire and Orcs have plastic and resin hero kits with a lord and banner bearer

Interesting update to the ongoing Old World narrative in the Dawn of the Storm Dragon AJ. Krawlmaw's brayherd defeated Orion's Wildhunt, killing him in the process. He'll be back next year as he always is but makes out Krawlmaw as more of a threat and gives the Beastmen a rare W

I'm kinda surprised Calgar is getting a new model so soon. A lot of people were introduced to him with Space Marine 2 and will associate him with the current gravis armour model.

Then again I shouldn't be surprised he's getting a new model after being a standout character in Space Marine 2
Marneus Calgar's currrent plastic model in which he wears gravis armour

No sure if I'm in the minority but I think I prefer the old metal Calgar in Terminator armour over the new one. It's probably a bit small by today's standards, but I do like the forward momentum of the pose and I think the face is better whilst the new one feels a bit blocky, almost cartoonish

New edition of Bloodbowl is a surprise! Great to see Bretonnia finally get a team and Tomb Kings return. Find it funny their headlining this edition after doing the same for Old World. They even have the same colour schemes as Brionne and Tomb Kings in Old World!

itrytopaint.bsky.social
And here's the first part of the howdah, feeling better it about now. I used a final drybrush of Terminatus Stone which I feel gave the stone texture a wee boost. Bit further along, the pillars, banner poles and fabric have all been painted. 1/2
#warhammercommunity #warhammer #theoldworld
