Well this kit was a long time coming. I preordered a bunch of boxes for my White Scars months ago and they've finally arrived. I'll give a review here of my experiences assembling the kit and the layout of it.

A long term wargaming hobbyists thoughts and reviews on all things Warhammer; both 40k & Age of Sigmar, and most everything in between.

With the launch of the Kill Team: Gallowfall box we see the first Kill Team kit for the Leagues of Votann, the Hearthkyn Salvagers, which add an upgrade sprue to the existing Hearthkyn Warrior kit. Here, I will review the models included in the kit, with a focus on the new upgrade sprue. The operatives that the kit allows you to build are: Theyn, Dozr, Field Medic, Grenadier, Jump Pack Warrior, Kinlynk, Kognitaar, Lokatr, Lugger, Gunner, and Warrior.
The final new Seraphon kit released in the army box for me to cover and the centerpiece of the set, the Slann Starmaster is a worthy update to the older Slann model.
These synergistic velociraptor-riding skinks are a new kit for the Seraphon, being available first in the army box with a general release in the next month or two. They are a multi-build kit, assembling either Raptadon Hunters for your ranged needs or Raptadon Chargers for melee punch.
Raptadon Hunters and Raptadon Chargers with a Saurus Warrior and the now retired Saurus Knight for scale comparison.
A few more shots for the sake of better comparison. There are notably a few different postures within the Saurus Warrior unit so some stand taller than others. While I love the diverse and dynamic poses of some of the Saurus now, these spear poses will struggle a great deal to rank up for any use in the upcoming The Old World game. Many spears are thrusting forwards while the rest hang over the rims of the bases, either to the side or the rear.
For the sake of comparison, one of the new Saurus Warriors alongside one of the old ones (lower case!) and a Saurus Guard.
Today I will be reviewing the new Seraphon Warrior kit that was available in the Seraphon Army Set and will be launched in the next month or two for general release. The set of 10 warriors are spread across 3 sprues, images of which I have included below.
The latest battletome for Age of Sigmar 3.0, Seraphon, is due to release today alongside the first batch in a slew of new miniatures for the faction inside a limited run army box. The general release is still a month or two out but the rules are now in the wild for non-tournament gaming.
Here I will go over my initial impressions from reading the book and give you an idea of what you can expect.

The Desolation Marines were released alongside the Brutalis Dreadnought and the new Primaris
Lieutenant in the Strike Force Agastus boxset earlier in the year, and provide some much longed for Devastator equivalents to the Primaris range, albeit with none of the flexibility. They go somewhat against the grain when it comes to naming convention as you would expect them to be called Desolators but they went with Desolation Squad and Desolation Marine for some reason.
Commander Farsight, Shas'O O'Shovah, leader of the Farsight Enclaves recently received an update to his model and it blows his previous two out of the water (caste. Sorry).
