We have moved beyond 2 months of AoS releases and there is still no end in sight. It actually would be nice if there was one so I could do some catch-up without falling horribly behind and draining my bank account.
Atleast this week is small, with only 2 releases! Of course, one is a big release.
White Dwarf/Hobby Books
White Dwarf 83: Our latest issue of White Dwarf focuses on on the big release for this week, the Celestant-Prime, featured prominently on the cover. Besides that, there is mention of a write-up on the Hallowed Knights, the Stormhost leading the charge in Ghyran. It's nice to see an article dedicated to a Stormhost that isn't the Hammers of Sigmar. Maybe this means the Vindicators will get some more love.
Stormcast Eternals
Celestant-Prime: Here is the big bad super hero model for the Eternals (unless they have something even bigger hiding up their sleeves), the Celestant-Prime. Supposedly the first Eternal ever forged and now wielding Ghal Maraz after the Eternals got it back, this is the big centerpiece model like many other armies got during the End Times. He's $80 for a fairly large model, with impressive looking wings, however I'm not to sure if I like the swirling magics/orrey under him and for the most part, he still just looks like an Eternal. Atleast he keeps a conformity to the rest of the army.
And that's it, it's a nice break from the repacks or massive fortresses that would cost a pretty penny if you're trying to catch 'em all. Will next week see more AoS releases? Or will there be a small break in the action to give 40K some love, I suppose we'll see soon enough.
