Picked up one of the Doomstalkers over the weekend. As an alternative to a Doomsday Ark, this kit is a dream. I assembled one in 15 minutes, painted it up to battle ready in about 2 hours.
Compare that to the Kafkaesque nightmare of having to sub assemble the DDA, paint the guns, ribs, body, pilot all separately, put them together with terrible flimsy joins, edge highlight the thing which has more edges than bismuth and then finally when you take it to a game, it rolls a shitty average then the side guns snap off in transit.

I've got two Doomstalkers on the way here, hopefully they'll arrive sometime this week! They're quite reasonably priced IMO, definitely look like a breeze to assemble and paint compared to the DDA!
Even though they're push-fit, it looks to me from the sprues like you could get some variation in them without any real conversion work. The neck looks like it could be flipped to face the head in the other direction, and maybe I can rotate the body on one of them where it joins to the legs to give it the appearance of having a different pose as well...
Edit - nice little rules comparison here:

Presently the cables below the gauss flayers prevent you from rotating the body once its attached to the legs but you can detatch it easily. Also the sort of shoulder panels are the only part you might consider attaching after painting the mid section.
Another cool mini from Necromunda, Rogue Doc Arachnos:
Non admec inspired smh.Some different head options for the Void Dragon:
Wanting to keep that cat in the bag for a little while longer I suppose.
Welp, I lost it and bought a small army of Necrons. Couldn't handle the idea of cheesing with Marines so I'll cheese with death robots.
I stumbled and forcefully dropped my project box lid open to the ground when taking it from the house to my workshop. Out of 30 or so Sisters maybe 3 got out unharmed. I am a little unhappy.
Actually, I almost cried. I haven't been in the best of places with my mental health lately and seeing all those broken minis on the ground sure sucked.
And well, the 9th edition elite edition starter box arrived today so yay.

I hope so. I think I got all the broken pieces pieces together, but I didn't have the energy to go through everything right now.
The damage was pretty bad considering they are all plastic. It must be because they all have weight to their bases because I have metal washers on the underside so they stick to the magnetic sheet I have on the box. Except this time they didn't, ofc.
So so sorry, we all deal differently when hobby stuff breaks but it is always awful.
Bright side, free battle damage.
Another cool mini from Necromunda, Rogue Doc Arachnos:
The rumor of the day def seems to hint that tau auxiliaries are coming back with a vengeance with what looks like a vespid hatching.
I'm sorry you had to deal with this. I'm honestly terrified of getting a figure like the new void dragon as it just looks so goddamn fragile.
Yeah, with all the fiddly and pointy bits I'm a bit nervous of moving my AdMech when the time comes.
On a slightly related note, after painting nothing but AdMech I got a Gloomspite Gitz Loonboss for variety and it's very relaxing not having to worry about intricate machinery and painting subassemblies for a change lol.

Ooooooh
This has been rumored a ton, so I'm not holding my breath, but I'd LOVE if they moved T'au into more of a Xenos Coalition space. A irreligious Covenant, if you will.
Any chance of Gue'vesa becoming a proper part of the Tau codex? I'd rather they introduce more Kroot/Vespid/New(?) xeno models, but it'd be a fairly efficient use of existing Imperial Guard units.
Also some chatter that this might be aos related as well. So I apologise for raising some false hopes up.
A whole new faction for AoS so soon after Sons of Behemat would be a surprise, but not impossible I guess.
This'd be cool. Wouldn't be too much work for them if they're making new Guard infantry to do up some Gue'Vesa bits that fit the models.
Like I said, it's been rumored for ages, and it never panned out, so I wasn't exactly holding my breath anyway lol.
They wouldn't even need to go as replacing existing IG kits, even just a cheap upgrade/conversion pack would work. They already have them for Genestealer Cults.
Agreed, but I figure that they've got to replace the basic Cadian models at this point, right? Things are deeply dated.
Comparing the Cadian infantry kit to anything remotely new like the Genecult Hybrids or Admech kits it is shocking to see just far sprue packing tech has come.
As for the rumour engine yeah that's probably AoS, either the ling hinted at Silent People or s Slyvaneth bug Sprite. I thought at first it was a baby Ambull then I remembered we actually know what those look like

Those are fantastic.
Thanks. I'm past the initial shock, but it's going to take a while before I can muster the will to go through the damage.

I love these! The iconic look together with primaris proportions is my jam.
Might also be Brexit related in terms of moving stock across Europe? But yeah, Covid would do it too. It's harder to move stock around right now, the U.K. is obviously their hub, and the marine codex is a heavy book they'll sell literal tons of over the next four years. I imagine they got a good bulk deal from U.K. printers looking for work.Saw someone mention on Facebook that the new codex books are printed in the UK instead of China, checked my new Necrons codex just now and yup:
Wonder if this is Covid related or a permanent shift?
Didn't they also face a massive issue this/last year when release schedules had to be changed, as a load of stock (items like books which they usually outsource) was stuck within the international container shipping system coming from factories in China, which also inadvertently meant via shipping rosters lots of releases were leaked?

Same for a lot of the starter sets. Like the price of 4 primaris marine characters and a rulebook bought separately is the same price as the entire Indomitus set was at £130, let alone the entire Necron force and 4 marine squads that's also included. That's partly why I bought the set.
I think the art is placeholders for 'Imperial' and 'xenos'. The Imperial one is Dark Angels. The Xenos one, no idea! I'm actually thinking there's a slim chance it might be a new race, but only because they've been so secretive about it- with no real reason for it. Like, if it was nids or Eldar or whatever, they could easily have said by now.
Codex schedule. Anyone to hazard a guess for the last two?
Otherwise, most of the Xenos lists are desperately in need of some love, it could be any of them. Hmm. Maybe Dark Eldar? I think it will be one of the Xenos factions they showed a new character model for at the end of one of the previews.
I would hope for that, or a significant push to expand on an existing race- I.e. Tau Mercs and allied races?
So, we saw a rumour engine insectoid egg/creature that might be vespid.
We also had this in the summer that hinted at new minis for Dark Eldar, Orks, Chaos, Sisters and AdMech.
So if I were gonna guess, Dark Eldar or Orks in Jan, with Tau not too far out either. It looks like the books are gonna come arrive quickly though, I wouldn't be surprised if more than half the factions have new codexes by the end of next year.
Sisters and Knights/Chaos Knights are likely at the back of the queue and I wouldn't expect AdMech or GSC to be too close to the front either.
