The Extremis Chamber is open and here come the Stardrakes!

It’s a pretty light weekend for Games Workshop but at least we get to see the new Stardrake in all it’s magnificent glory!

This is a massive new kit – I can’t wait to see what other hobbyist are going to do with it! I’m really interested in the wings and if they are re-positional or not. I’m sure with some creative cutting and green stuff they will be. I do like the different weapon options but I’m also hopeful that the rider can be bit-bashed and bit-swapped with some of the the other stormcast kits. I’m not a huge fan of the “I’m playing Polo” stance with the hammer. I AM a big fan of the body of the dragon –  it looks more like the Fyreslayer’s Magmadroth with the beefier, elongated look. I think these new kits are a vast improvement over the old dragons:

As I said, light week from Games Workshop. Maybe they are gearing up for something BIG in the next couple of weeks…

What’s your take on the Stardrake? How do you feel about the changes to the “Dragon” design?
