Disqualifying the Mindstealer? Damn, thats some Jabba The Hutt level mindfulness there....
Beasts and Monsters are my favourite part of the hobby and wish GW would offer a more focused bestiary range for both 40K and AoS; not tied to army colour schemes and ideal as random-behaviour hostiles.
Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

They started well with the sphiranx, furies and turkeys. But it's a shame they stalled after that. It's kind of a crime we haven't had some general monsters considering this entire season has been in the realm of beasts.

I love that. Would be a fun centerpiece to an ogor army with a butcher posed up there. Has there been any review of the gorgers? I remember some people complained about the "blind" heads and some of the poses, but the sprue has 8 heads, so I'm curious if there are any options that would satisfy those complaints

I can't zoom in on the sprue pics to really see the other 4 heads in detail; I can just count 8 between the two sprues.
This article has a closeup of all of them. It seems like the Clawback and Cave Howler have single head options with six different options for the other three
Here is a closeup of the 6 heads, the other two are on the Clawback and Cave Howler in the promotional material:
That article has many pictures at every step of building with all different options layed out so I recommend checking it out. Only drawback is its in German but thats what translators are for

Great article, thanks for sharing. Nice to have so many heads, though the one with an entire skull in it's mouth is a bit weird. I wonder if crypt horror heads would fit on them?

New Cities of Sigmar rules in French only for now just as well the stats are picture/icon only - it's dated 9th November so that's probably when the English version is due.

Chaos Bunker is a great resource and has a handy feature in the top right of screen to change from German to English text.
Those damn monkeys keep stealing my saving throws
Azrael13: Conversions should be a choice, not a necessity to make a "premium" product acceptable.
980 points for the Black Talons. Neave gets a glow up but I think Hendrick drew the short straw to make them fit points wise he’s a Knight Zephyros after all. The others broadly fit their archetype. Glad to have rules for them.

It's very cool the Blacktalons fit in 1000 points for Warcry. They can also be played in campaign mode and recruit allies to fit higher if needed. It's still an elite band with few warriors, but it's a hard hitting one. Should be interesting to play in special scenarios.

Have to say, I'm 50/50 on the lumineth. But I felt the same about the claws of karanak before I painted them and now I adore them. So it will probably be the same here. Pyregheists are fantastic though. And if the slann head is anywhere near the size of the mawpit, it will be a real pleasure to paint.

I’m similar on the Lumineth, the masked ones are sick, the unmasked ones less so, but they’re still okay and I think they’ll grow on me. I really like the Ghosts too. Seems weird the elves having more models than the undead force, I always think of elves as elite and death as hordy generally.
