I got an email overnight saying the Spire Tyrants were back in stock with GW, despite them announcing they were dropped from their range a couple of months ago and selling out. Anyhow, I ordered those + the Bretonnian transfers, which will let me finish off the unit of Men at Arms I'm working on. I particularly wanted the Bestigor from the Spire Tyrants set, but intend to use the rest to build up a mixed Chaos Marauder unit featuring a load of random chaotic infantry from various sources. |

He'll look great as the Bestigor crewing the Razorgor Chariot I plan to kitbash. |

He'll look great as the Bestigor crewing the Razorgor Chariot I plan to kitbash. Yes, also on the lookout for just him, or maybe him and the Spire leader who has cool weapons and topknot. I feel the Bestigor has the size and presence to pass for a character if need be as well. He would look like lovely on a Razorgor chariot as you are planning. |

So, I'm vacationing in Branson, MO this week, and while I'm here, I found a little store that was selling Warhammer stuff. I picked up the new Grombrindal model, and plan on converting him for use in 8th/TOW. Thing is, I still have my old G-man on 20x20 base, and I've seen a few conversions to 25x25 over the internet. Should I just plan on putting him on the 25x25, or try my hand at 20x20, or go larger scale with 40x40 (essentially giving myself a handicap), or magnetizing and having all three (is it even worth the effort)? Let me know what y'all think.   |

Mine's (finally) been dispatched to me, along with the made to order Stone Trolls. I was thinking of putting him on a 40mm - the same I did with the Gotrek model from a couple of years ago - because the scenic base looks cool, and it ranks up with my 20mm based Dwarfs. If I decide I don't like the scenic base enough, I'll squeeze him onto a 20mm base, so he fits in with all my other models.
Going for a 25mm when the rest of your army are on WFB base sizes sounds like a recipe for frustration, unless you really want to embark on rebasing the lot.

Don't rebase!
Use adapters, or size appropriate trays instead.
Alternatively, if he only fits on a 25mm, just take the hit and put him on the end of a unit (of 20mm dwarfs!)

I was tempted to mount him on the new shieldbearer model instead of the 'king' as I thought he looked better. But as others have said, if you want him on the base, put him on a 40mm. I also did that with Gotrek.
And I finally received my MTO orc on war wyvern. I was surprised that the wings were also metal and not plastic!

I built my Grombrindal at the weekend - it was surprisingly simple - I hadn't realised it was a push fit model, though the sprue was a little strange. Anyhow, I decided to give the scenic base a miss, and he stands just fine on a traditional 20mm square base. He should rank up in most units.

I did pick up a few bits in the recent release including the AJ, bugmans cart, lord on shieldbearers, doomseekers, another grudgethrower and the bolt thrower. 1 more cannon and I think my dwarves are finally done.

I have to confess that I bought the Skaven part of the new AOS starter box and 40 more Clanrats. It was just too tempting.
Already built 10 Clanrats as Globediers.

I ordered the Dwarf Arcane Journal, the Bretonnian Questing Knight Paladin on foot, and the Warcry Iron Golems warband - which they had discontinued a few months ago, but seem to have brought back. They're to bulk out a rag-tag unit of Chaos Marauders I'm putting together with miscellaneous chaosy models that don't fit anywhere else, though the Ogre will be used as a Maneater. The Spire Tyrants warband I got a couple of months ago will be part of the Marauder unit too.
I'd have ordered a few more Bret characters, but they're still out of stock. I had an email for Lady Élisse Duchaard being available again, but she'd gone by the time I was ready to order a couple of days later. Their stock of the Forge World Old World models seems really patchy.

Yep. GW's stock is a serious problem. I still haven't received a MTO Bretonnian lot (3 models) that I ordered back in January. They told me that the shipment was "experiencing unexpected problems" with shipment and to check back with them at the end of August. It's total bull crap, but whatcha gonna do?
Anyway, I bought the O&G and Dwarf Arcane Journal, the Goblin Hewer, the Fortified Manor, the two Hills, the Fences kit and Prince Apophas. That should keep me busy for a while.

My FLGS found a cache of classic Warhammer in a storage area and put it out for sale. I was able to pick up some classics I didn't already have.  |
