Both of these models are prototypes, so don't expect to see anything anytime soon.
They will be plastic.
First release will be a box set of Humans versus Orcs with future teams in the pipeline.
Being developed by the new GW Specialist Games division.

pretty much what I expected, though definitely looking forward to it.
I wonder if they'll put it out before the end of 2016.
>>44518504
Yeah, they had announced a reboot of the "specialist games" earlier last year.
Looking good. Here's to a return of Necromunda and Mordheim as well.
Better pictures
Also there was apparently art for Dwarves, Ogres, and Nurgle.
>>44518730
Humans are a lot more buff and 'gritty' than the last lot. Not sure I like em.
>>44518824
the last lot? You mean the metal ones?
It's almost the same design.
>>44518504
Wonder how AoS is going to effect this.
>>44518869
The god Blood Bowl lord of the Blood makes the Blood humans and Blood Orcs throw the Blood Ball in the Blood Arena of Blood
>>44518737
His face suffers a serious case of "deviation from nelson's".
>>44518869
In no way, hopefully.
>>44518737
>GW's own Orc now look like knock-offs made by third parties.
>>44518869
Blood Bowl is set in an alternate universe so it shouldn't effect it at all.
>>44518869
It shouldn't, from my understand Bloodbowl is its own universe.
I mean I suppose they could add the Stormcast and Fyreslayers (Basically a team with the Dwarf Slayer and fire aesthetics), maybe a focus on Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh having their own specific teams like at least Khorne and Nurgle have their own armies in AoS. In fact if the supposed Nurgle art is Bloodbowl related, this could turn out to be true.
I'd imagine they'd be more concerned first at getting the original teams out first before expanding.
>>44518638
Atia does appear to be confirming a 2016 release and that the aforementioned Dwarf and Nurgle artwork is for Bloodbowl.
>>44518947
>Stormscat
Yeah, no.
>>44519023
Developers can do what ever they want, if they think it works or there is at least one fan of them with influence they could make an appearance.
One person is supposedly how the Solar Auxillia managed to become a thing in HH.
>>44518909
>>44518925
Looks like the same sculptor that did the flash gitz from the other pic.
Or at least the nose and the jaw look closer to them than to Brian nelson's standard.
>>44519053
BB is done to cash on oldfags and the new blood from the video games, stormcast have no place in this, nor they should.
I'm doubtful there're dev fans of the stormcast willing to push them outside of their own setting.
>>44519088
Speaking of
>>44518824
Its near enough the same, just more detailed, not more buff at all. Whether it ends up more gritty depends on the paint job you give it. More detailed is definitely better, I really like it.

Maybe a summer release with a followup before the winter holiday.
I could see them fast-tracking blood bowl, of all things. Most of their work's already been done thanks to the video games.
I can't believe I didn't see this fucking pattern sooner. They did the same shit with Space Hulk.
1) They have specialist game out until it no longer makes money.
2) They pull specialist game off shelves
3) They find another specialist game they haven't printed for years
4) Hype it to hell, sell it, watch the money roll in
5) PROFIT! Then return to 1

>In fact if the supposed Nurgle art is Bloodbowl related, this could turn out to be true.
The videogame had a nurgle only team if I recall correctly.
>>44519162
I like the human thrower, as it looks like an update of the old models, very similar in aesthetic really.
I assume this thing is a black orc? I hope they keep the old blitzer poses all round.
>>44519202
>They did the same shit with Space Hulk.
Space hulk wasn't a specialist game, though. And, while I'm being a pedant, neither was Man 'o War, Execution Force or the Horus Heresy.
I'm just happy they're trying to go back to the board game roots a bit.
>>44519245
Might be a line orc. Hard to tell without another to compare to.
>>44519224

>>44518909
>>44518925
I wonder if this is a hint of what AoS's greenskins will look like. I realise AoS and BB are different universes but GW would probably try to have a uniform look across their ranges.
>>44519299
>>44519314
This is amateur level concept art.
>>44519202
Space Hulk was just a straight up reprint. This is at the very least new models produced by the Specialist Design Studio. If fact if it wasn't for said Studio this might not even be happening.
>>44519224
Looks somewhat akin to the Nurgle Lord of Chaos and Putrid Blightkings.
>>44519319
From AoS art, Orcs look pretty much the same as they did in Fantasy. Don't know why people think that just because it's a new setting that suddenly every army is getting a makeover.
>>44519326
Yea it's honestly pretty high school tier. I suppose they expect their sculptors to do much of the heavy lifting artistically.
>>44519352
It was my impression at least that the Dwarfs would be taken into a completely new direction. I haven't actually flipped through any of the AoS books though.
I don't give a fuck.
I just want new GorkaMorka.
>>44519429
Dwarfs will look pretty much like they did in the new kits they got in 8th Edition.
Fyreslayers are the slayer aesthetic combined with fire.
Just so everyone's aware the specialist games announcement going live when it did was a massive fuckup from games workshop. It was meant to be a head office/design studio only email that copied in a retail store by mistake. It wasnt meant to be public for at least a year.
>>44519450
I want models for Necromunda, so yeah.
Good things come to those who wait, conventional wisdom tells us. I guess we'll wait and see.
>>44519489
You sure about that? Them putting up something the same day via the Warhammer app seems to differ.
The models shown are on 32mm bases and are by no means final.
Confirmed to still be set in its own world.
Andy Hoare is head of the Specialist Design Team.
I can't be the only one who thinks that GW getting involved can only be a bad thing for the old specialist games.
>>44520145
It's people from the FW Design Studio and possibly new people, GW Design Studio isn't involved.
And yes this does mean there differences despite ultimately all being lumped under the banner of GW. Compare a 40k codex to Horus Heresy book for proof.
Unless of course you're referring to fan communities which have built up around the games.
>>44520145
How? The old rules don't suddenly disappear because GW publishes new stuff and models.
