New Archaon Model

1629816299163001630116302

regarding it’s arrival time: I “think” week after HH.

Looking at it some more I quite like the heads of the “dragon” or whatever it’s meant to be, in fact if I were still into GW some of these would be fantastic for Daemon prince conversions.

Archaon himself doesn’t really look good to me. What I do find strange is the absence of slaanesh pretty much everywhere, but on Archaon’s Shield I can clearly make out the slaanesh symbol along with the other 3.

Also for the keywords on his rules it says “Chaos, Daemon, Mortal Khorne, Nurgle, SLAANESH, Tzeentch, Everchosen” so it would appear Slaanesh is not totally gone.

In fact having now had a good long look I think this almost looks like a resposed Mutalith Beast or whatever it was called, but with 2 tails, wings and 3 heads.

There is a picture where he is fighting some liza…. seraphon so I guess there might be a campaign book or whatever they’re called.

So it’s Dorghar… weird…

There is a couple of special Chaos Knights following Archaon, as well as a Tzeentch character. A Battle Tome to go with all of them as well.

And there is more for AoS in January...

Spooooooooge!

I reckon that's Archaon and all.

Here's to the next instalment!

And that's no ordinary Chimera....those heads look Daemonic, and God specific.

Still no Slaanesh mind. Seems Tyrion and Malekith are taking their time on the dark prince!

[Path Walker]

Its Archaon, there is a bigger picture showing the creaturs body and massive tails, which is the Slannesh part of it, its a big, stocky humandoid dragon thing, I'd link to a pic but work computer so no image hosts as they're all blocked.

[Mr Mystery]

Type out the link...

Also - Slaanesh is the butt. Fitting!

Its a very non-traditional take on the Chaos Dragon, I really like it, more "Vaguely Dragon Shaped Daemon"

Age of Sigmar has SUCH a great Chaos aesthetic so far, I've loved every model they've done for Chaos (Including Glottkin onwards as Age of Sigmar there)

[Mr Mystery]

Bottom left?

Possibly new Chaos Warriors, but perhaps more likely non-red Blood Warriors? Hard to tell.

[Path Walker]

I thought that but I think the helmet looks like one of the Blood Warrior ones, and the shoulder armour has that raised ridge that some of the Blood Warrior ones do. Actually, that's the bit about AoS Chaos I'm not mad about, the Khorne unit names, but if I was 12 I'd think they were cool as ****.

[Mr Mystery]

Names don't both me so much. They could be called BattleDaves for all it matters to me :p

But yeah. I think they are just the Blood Warriors.

[Ray Rivers]

:eek:

THAT is a massive model... :)

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Looks pretty awesome, especially love the taily part. Hope to see more non-chaos/sigmar stuff in the near future though.

thanks, now i got a visual of hundreds of papa lazarous hunting for battledaves.

[Mr Mystery]

Well that's who the Stormcast Eternals are.

Hello, is Dave there? YOU MY REALM NOW, DAVE!

[Cutter]

Looks like we're getting a new Archaon (or similar looking Chaos Lord) on what appears to be a Chimera. Just spotted this on Facebook:

16280

The thing with three heads is Archaon, the fat lad in the saddle used to be his horse.

Because this time round, he gets to be on top.

- - - Updated - - -


Seems Tyrion and Malekith are taking their time on the dark prince!

One at each end.

I believe the lads in GW Belfast used to call it 'chinese boating'...

- - - Updated - - -


:eek:

Who'd like to open the bidding?

Shall we start at say £150?

[Mr Mystery]

I reckon £90-£100.

[Cutter]

I reckon £90-£100.

Stormsurge territory?

It feels bigger.

Hopefully we'll find out before crimbletide.

I wonder if they'll try and squeeze it out before then...

[Mr Mystery]

I'd imagine so - and likely with the next instalment of the new background.

I've got no issue with the Stormcast Eternals, but I'm desperate to find out what everyone else has been up to - particularly Archaon.

Price wise - it seems about right. Wraithknight is £70, Imperial Knight is £95. So the £90-£100 feels about right. Could even be slightly less. Nagash is pretty large, and he comes in at £65.

[Mr Mystery]

Very nice.

[Ray Rivers]

I could dig on some new Chaos Knights. Archaon looks cool, but probably too big for my taste (and storage capacity).

Some new terrain would also be welcomed. Blood Geysers, the Obsidian Bridge, Gorespire and Skyoak are examples named in the Age of Sigmar book campaigns. Well have to see...

[Mr Mystery]

If there's a Tzeentchian character, I'd expect at least one of the Knight kits rumoured to also be Tzeentchian. He's currently the only God without his own 'super unit'

Wow, that looks awesome. What do we think £90 ?
Amazing looking figure either way.

[Erik Setzer]

The price was shown somewhere, I don't remember GBP but it was $165 US.

Oh wait, found it:

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/11/gw-next-weeks-products-prices-tease-confirmed-2.html

It's £100.

It's an impressive model (though missing Slaanesh in the heads is odd, and I agree that the mount overshadows Archaon too much), but I can't see spending that much on a shelf model. I had a hard enough time justifying Nagash... which is probably why the only copy of him I have right now is one I got from someone else as part of an army package (and I need to strip it because he fuzzed the primer).

[Mr Mystery]

The mount overshadowing Archaon is kind of fitting if you ask me.

We know that Archaon wants to prove the master of Chaos - the model could be said to be a visual reminder that he's on a fools errand in that respect - nobody masters Chaos. Nobody.

[Erik Setzer]

I think that was proven when he got obliterated and still got brought back to be their pawn even though he did exactly what he set out to do, destroy the world. He's just eternally Chaos's b***h. Honestly, that kind of ruins his character for me. At this point his original interesting motivation is long gone and he exists just to serve as a puppet of the gods.

[Mr Mystery]

We don't really know much about him, other than he can unite the currently squabbling forces.

His ultimate goal could be anything. Daemonhood seems out of his grasp permanently. The last time the Four collaborated on a Daemon Prince they produced Be'Lakor - a being none of them could fully control (largely due to their squabbling nature). He was as a result very much the first and the last Undivided Daemon Prince.

And I'm not massively convinced the Chaos Gods ever wanted to destroy the Old World - I'm pretty confident that was just Archaon's own call. Chaos want worshippers more than destruction. There's a decent argument that Archaon did what he did to end the world's suffering, and to spite the four Gods of Chaos (I said decent argument, not fact :p )

Need to know more about his role in the Age of Sigmar. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets offed this time. Sigmar nearly had him at Middenheim after all, and Siggy has only got more potent ever since!

[Erik Setzer]

Well, the Chaos gods gorged themselves on the souls of the people in the world and did a lot of the destruction themselves, before wandering off to find a new plaything, so they probably did intend to destroy it.

So you'd think it might be a slap in the face that the core of the world survived. Even more so if they could merge the realms with the core and remake the world. It still all smacks of the Old Ones salvaging what they could and remaking some of the races to fight Chaos more efficiently, with some long-term plan.

Really hope I'm not giving them too much credit. (And if they hadn't thought about doing that and read this and want to rip off my idea, I encourage them to do so. It would definitely explain what's going on with AoS's setting.)

[Trojan66]

I'm not surprised at the lack of slaanesh influence on this figure. I really don't think we will see any more there. The general buzz for quite a while was that there was only so far you could go with crab claws and boobs. I also think the whole sadistic , pleasure seeking idea is too left field for AOS.
Great shame in my opinion. Twas always my personal favourite of the big four.

[Mr Mystery]

He's listed as missing, and still has Daemons running around, so definitely not dead (or whatever happens to a God in that respect)

And we know who kidnapped him - that part of the story is yet to be revealed in any detail.

Slaanesh will be back, of that I'm sure.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I'm not surprised at the lack of slaanesh influence on this figure.Don't lose hope - there are still Slaanesh sigils on the figure (his shield, at least).

This could herald a shift of Slaanesh's place in the mythos, but I doubt all those Slaanesh plastic kits aren't going anywhere (especially considering their cross-sell with 40k). Slaanesh could be explored as more of an evil elf faction, for instance.

[Kirsten]

he was was fantasy Abaddon, that isn't new

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed.

My timings are messed up, but it may even be Abaddon that is 40k's Archaon.

War of the Allpoints Campaign book for Age of Sigmar

"The Allpoints is a bridge that spans reality, a gateway to each of the eight Mortal Realms"

RogueStar says: (http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?414888-Upcoming-releases-rumors&p=7572158&viewfull=1#post7572158)

Take one Bifröst bridge, pass it through one GW filter (think Nurgle's nethers) and viola, one bag of old pens.

Ballpoints.

Or maybe BoLpoints?
