Yeah, it's a great video :D I've been playing it a couple of times. Though it does seem like a quick work, it's well written. I really enjoy the new vibe from Games Workshop. It's a fun time to be a fan :)

Struggle to link YouTube whilst on my mobile but have you all seen that fish video? Rumours of a sea-based Aelven faction...

Or fishmen :D

My local group thinks they will be undead pirates. But perhaps you're right.. It could also be a Corsair faction.

She looks great, but... I am never going to be able to transport that anywhere, am I? :P

Also, some dudebro at GW really is obsessed with ridiculous stiletto heels on women, aren't they? I have to admit, though, that if any GW character was likely to wear them it'd be Morathi.

New "Queen" Morathi can pass off as a Supreme Sorceress too. Interestingly, it says you can use the Avatar of Khaine from the Cauldron as a model now *looks through loft for old Avatar model*

Vanilla Morathi is a nice model which would look good both in a Dark Elf and a Dark Eldar army IMO.

Uber-Morathi has amazing conversion potential. I'd be tempted to make a Dragon as well as a Medusa.

it's good to get a little bit more history to read.

I like it more than i dislike it. i know there is a lot more to it, so i'm waiting to read more about it.

i can't wait until Malerion (Malekith) makes a return

The ability "descend to battle of the Khinerai, reminds me the "flying high" of 5th ed.

They do look nice, though I'd have preferred something closer to the old harpies (but better sculpted, obviously) and less like just a witch elf with wings.

I'm still not sure where GW took the name 'Khinerai' from. 'Melusai' is obviously from Melusine (a sort of snakey-mermaid-spirit from French folklore).

OK, I found the (probable) answer to my own question. A Kinnaris is a half-woman-half-bird creature from Southeast Asian mythology.

Wonder how many of them they plan to sell.

Morathi is pretty much the price I'd expect for such a kit from GW these days (she's still cheaper than Archaon). I'm seriously annoyed they didn't reduce the cost of the Witch Aelves / Sisters of Slaughter kit when they reboxed it, though. A decently sized Daughters of Khaine army is likely to need 5-6 boxes, which is in the region of £200, just for your compulsory Battleline units!

GW managed to disuade me from starting a Death Guard army for 40K with their absurd price point for the Plague Marines kit. If I didn't already have a bunch of Witch Aelf models, I'd be giving DoK a miss too for the same reason.

The Cauldron is also just as pricey as before, but at least you get several units out of it (Cauldron or Shrine; Hag or Slaughter Queen or both on foot; Medusa or Avatar on foot).

I was looking at the UK cost vs Australia cost £80 vs $220.

The current conversion rate I get for £ is $144 AUD how can they mark it up another $80 for getting it into Australia - that sucks big time.

Shame it's a nice model and would look sweet in my collection but that's a bit steep for me. I sticking the Slaanesh for the time being :D
