The forces of The Mortal Realms were not to be left out when it came to reveals over the weekend from Games Workshop. Beastmen and the Goblins of the Gloomspite Gitz got a bit of an upgrade plus we also got to have a peek at a new Warhammer Underworlds warband.

Beast Lord - Warhammer Age Of Sigmar

The first miniature reveal was for a new character model for the Beastmen. I was somewhat hoping for more but I shall keep my fingers crossed for the future. Still, the Beastlord looks pretty cool and reminds me why I almost started my own Beastman army a few years ago. Much like with the World Eaters we saw earlier today in the news, I just like the idea of charging forward with an aim of just getting stuck into combat.

I would hope that we're going to be seeing more of the Beastmen including a replacement for those terrible Minotaurs. The rest of the range is pretty decent although it is a little old now compared to other collections.

Wolf Riding Goblins!

Keeping with the furry vibes, we also got some new Gloomspite Gitz miniatures. Whilst many of their kin ride Squigs, there are still Goblins who ride into battle on the back of Old World-style wolves.

The new miniatures are looking pretty cool and a neat step up from what we saw in the past and a good update from Snarlfang's Rippaz back during their Warhammer Underworlds stint. There is something of the Old World about their designs too which might make them a good shout for some rank-and-file wargaming when that system gets released.

Snarlfang Riders #2 - Warhammer Age Of Sigmar

It's interesting to see another side of the Goblins from Warhammer Age Of Sigmar although I have to say, I am more than happy with the weird loon-cursed lot that we got a look at when they graced The Mortal Realms for the first time.

Snarlfang Riders #3 - Warhammer Age Of Sigmar

I won't say no to wolf-riding Goblins with cruel-looking swords and bows at the ready though. Again, it will be interesting to see if we get more in this vein coming out over the next few months or if this is another mini-update for the faction.

Talking of updates, Games Workshop also shared that Gloomspite Gitz and the Beastmen would be the next armies to get themselves Battletomes.

I'm not entirely sure about the cover art there. I think there are much better portrayals of Beastmen out there that could be recreated. This fellow doesn't look quite as bloody and brutal as I would have hoped even with the mound of Stormcast under his hooves.

The Roadmap above also shows off a further two Chaos Battletomes for Spring alongside two Death Battletomes and an Order one. Summer then heralds a single Order Battletome to cap things off for the next half a year or so.

Warhammer Underworlds - Grinkrak’s Looncourt!

As well as the look at the armies coming to The Mortal Realms, we also got another Gloomspite Gitz preview with Grinkrak's Looncourt!

"Knighted" by Grinkrak, the Looncourt have been sent on a mighty quest out into the Mortal Realms thanks to the Bad Moon itself. They are going to be swarming objectives and doing all sorts of nonsense things with their strange array of weaponry.

As you can see, the range is bloomin' brilliant and packed with the sort of dark comedy that makes the Goblins of Warhammer so fun to paint and play with. I really like the Squig lance and the rather impressive and intuitive pavise system that two of the other blighters have set up.

A fun new warband and one that might be great to paint up and get a taste of the faction before diving in proper.

Are you liking the look of these new Warhammer Age Of Sigmar previews?
