Surprised noone has mentioned the Bone Shrine yet from the 3D renders. What?

It was shown in last bit of the video. I think it is a 40 or 50 mm model, functions similarly to a PoM Wrack. Not much info on it beyond the sculpt.

o.0? I take it that one captures souls? Since they got a gator with a bucket to collect corpses.

Word was that a beasts/solos theme for minions was likely inbound before the end of the year

Structure was my original guess as well, but I read differently elsewhere. 50/50 I guess? Certainly not excited for structures to be in the game.

It's too thin to be a structure in my mind. Look at those skull sizes. Unless that towering thing is as tall as a Colossal, its not a Structure.

On the Valkyrie defensive stats, I'd assume 12/15+2 shield. Helga and Agata have the same armor and are both 15 base; helga also bears the same shield cannon.

Certainly not excited for structures to be in the game. If I may ask, why? I was never a fan of 120mm bases to begin with. I think they are too big for the game and remove interactive elements (i.e. can't be knocked down, disrupted, etc.). The more rules a class of model is immune to, the less play/counterplay there is between players. My personal opinion is when they enacted the full pre-measuring, they did not adjust the game accordingly. (Really bad) example: when Warhammer went to pre-measuring, they added in random charge lengths to reintroduce risk to the new system. PP slapped it on without systemic changes and as we saw with their logic in #widgetgate, they came to regret how much it reduced risk. IMO, the best way to introduce that back into the game now is with non-linear movement abilities, i.e. side step, reposition, overtake, warpath, Arkadius feat. These are abilities that are inherently unpredictable in practical application even with pre-measuring. You can always add up the linear threat, but once models mix together it becomes much more muddled. All this ties back to the structures and why they do not excite me because they are a) huge bases and b) do not move; the two things that I think are actively bad for the game in general. That being said, don't mistake me; if I get a strategic/tactical advantage, it is going in the list. It is just my desire that the game trended towards more moving pieces, not less.

It's been confirmed during the CID hangout that the Bone Shrine functions like a Protectorate Wrack and is not a structure
