One week before Joytoy took their well deserved break on CNY and they still managed to deliver surprises after surprises! This time we got something not from the usual Warhammer 40k but Age of Sigmar with the first honor goes to the Blacktalons Stormcast Eternal team. Scheduled for April 2025 release,these Blacktalons are sold for 284 USD as set of 5 or 50-65 USD each.
Joytoy release of this Age of Sigmar Blacktalons is a big deal because it is a potential gateway for Fans to get Quality Action Figures by Joytoy for Warhammer Fantasy Battle series just like 40k. I am not too well versed with Age of Sigmar myself apart from these Stormcast Eternal clad in Gold armor are roughly Fantasy counterpart for 40k Space Marines. But WHFB is one of those yet another massive power fantasy series that got its share of very cool Fantasy Medieval Armies. With this Blacktalon release, I am looking forward to Grail Knight and Demigryph Knights someday and might even assemble a Pike and Shot army from Empire faction. Heck, I wouldnt be surprised if we are getting Karl Franz with Deathwing in the future should this venture goes well for Joytoy and Games Workshop.
Out of the Blacktalons squad, the one that caught my attention the most is easily Hendrik Silverwolf which served as the veteran in Elite Monster Hunter team even though Neave Blacktalon is the actual leader which the latter remind me of Sister Vindicta from Warhammer Tacticus. In any case we will probably start to see more of these new Warhammer Lineup on Mid February once the CNY holiday has passed.
