Gotta be honest, there are a lot of good-looking minis in this release and very Old World-like. I'm not a big fan of the Necromancer with the animals, but every hero looks good and is usable, and the bad guys look great too!

Oh man that Wight King.. GW really can still make some nice models. The undead, Witch hunters, cursed city stuff is all exceptional. Not fond of the cow elves generally, I just dislike their concept. The BSB is nice when it's more normalised

I really like the big shuffle guy. Is that the one you call Wight king?

I'm surprised how often they update AOS army books, the Elf book came out last year and this year there is a brand new one... Is it a re-write, or an addition to last year's book? That's what I was ASSUMING, but I've never actually looked at an AoS book, so I can't testify to any of it. It’s a re-release of the old book with the updated units. There is apparently a separate book that has just the new units in that could be used in conjunction with the original army book (that was only released about 7 months ago!).

Sorry for the deluge of posts!
If you are thinking of getting the cursed city, then the accompanying novel (by one of my favourite BL authors so fingers crossed it might actually be a good aos novel) apparently contains an additional hero character sheet for the game.

www.warhammer-community.com/2021/03/01/vampire-rat-style-icon-its-kritza-the-rat-prince/"Kritza, the Rat Prince" Description: This well-dressed fellow hails from the Vyrgos Dynasty of Soulblight Vampires. As you can probably tell from his fancy attire, Kritza was once counted among the nobility of Ulfenkarn (which you can read about in our first Cursed City crier). Unfortunately, his attempts to secretly undermine the lord of the land led him to an ill fate, and he was horribly mauled by Radukar the Wolf.
Against all odds, Kritza escaped by heaving himself into a Corpse Cart and playing dead among the lifeless bodies it carried. He sustained his ravaged body by feasting upon the blood of the rats he found gnawing on the corpses stowed alongside him. Kritza soon discovered he’d unwittingly been granted the Blood Kiss by his ferocious assailant and was slowly evolving into one of the Soulblight.
You may have noticed the Rat Prince’s fabulous (or should that be verminous?) cloak and somewhat murine appearance. Well, it appears that his unorthodox transformation into a vampire had some unusual side-effects. In addition to being accompanied by his ‘vermintide’ of rats – both living and undead – Kritza can transform into a swarm of rodents to evade his foes.

Not really keen on this one. There's a few good elements, but the tails underneath the cloak are too much - I don't want a Skaven Vampire. If you chopped those tails off, you could have a good Skaven-hating Vampire... but I don't like it enough. And there's so many good vampires on their way from GW, that the crappy ones such as this and the red-bat-hair one from a few weeks back, can be safely ignored.

It's not the worst but it's not the vampire I would choose considering the different model options

Anyone know if the horns on the new Sigvald model are optional/removable, or will it require some cutting and green stuff?

Anyone know if the horns on the new Sigvald model are optional/removable, or will it require some cutting and green stuff? GW has sprue photos on their site. It looks like the little horns are part of the face component. The big horns are part of a separate component that fits behind it. So you'd need to chop all four off if you didn't want them.

now this I like. ...probably because they stayed very true to the original version in terms of pose and down to little details.

I think you'd need green stuff to fix it.
