Review on Warhammer AoS: Unleash Chaos with the Start Collecting! Slaves to Darkness 2019 by Ryan Arthur

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They didn't go well together.

The art on the figures is beautiful and goes well with the old Slaves to Darkness models. This time, however, GW fell into the trap of over-engineering. As a side note, I've been building Games Workshop for a long time and these so-called easy-to-build models are mostly exactly as advertised. At this event I would not recommend this set unless you know you will need to fill in significant gaps and remove some pins to get a better fit. Don't get me wrong, the characters look great, but the over-complexity layered manufacturing approach has been taken to the next level. I finished building the Shadowspear box set a while back and have had good results with the figures. But this set made me happy that I finished it but not happy with the results.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Makes me angry
