    I agree to a certain extent.
    Would i own a lizardmen army painted that way? I don't think.

    However, that's a great example of a new and fresh approach to old and known models, beautifully executed, with truly cool and original details (the banner and the shields).
    I see it as a sort of experiment, and from that point is a solid success.

    I agree; the artistry is definitely not in question. The skill and execution are on point, even though it is not a theme that I would personally pursue.

    It kinda baffles me that they went for warbands of not 1, but 2 factions that already have warbands... they had what, a good 15 or so factions to choose from? And then they pick the 2 poster boys... again... It's just kinda weird..

    Hell factions & races that don't have a warband yet:
    Tzeentch, nurgle, Slaanesh, Seraphon, Daughters of kaine, kharadron, Sylvaneth, the various humans, the remaining aelves, the remaining dwarfs, slaves to darkness, clann skryre, clan pestilence, clan moulder, grots, maneaters.. I'm sure I'm forgetting some others... I mean come on, there's such a massive list why would you already start introducing new warbands for factions that already have one...

    Because this is GW... this is AoS... there is always room for more SCE. :D

    This is one of the biggest reasons I am so massively against AoS.

    sigh.. SCE models better outsell anything 10 to 1 for this to make any sense.

    I agree with that since their releases outnumber anyone else's by ratio of 10:1

    Does GW ever actually release sales figures of individual models or factions as a whole? It'd be interesting to see.

    My theory is that they're leftover sculpts from the previous blood warrior and vanguard hunter boxes, that they didn't know what to do with.

    I don't think they do. But everyone knows that Space Marines dominate the sales figures. So it is no surprise that they focus on SCE.

    meh, that'd actually would make depressingly much sense.. especially considering the amount of variation in some of the factions... seems like they just make a bunch of designs and only then decide what to do with em, as opposed to thinking "maybe this faction needs a guy with a sword" or somethin.

    Exactly!! When I got into 40k originally, it wasn't so bad but it is absolutely terrible now. Half the factions are some sort of Space Marine. When I saw the SCE during the AoS launch I immediately knew that this was to be the fate of AoS as well (even if it is to a slightly lesser degree) . It was a huge reason why I refused to transition into AoS. WFB is 100% space marine free!

    Although true (I agree with you 100%) that SCE are getting more releases, you don't have to play them or collect them with the exception of the Order Harbinger for Malign Portents.

    Yes they made SCE allies to every order faction but you don't need to use them.

    I don't own any SCE and as we play at home I use my Oldblood on foot as my Order Harbinger.
