Let's get all this in the right place.

How much you wanna bet that the Ogre Hunter is the result of the sculptor not being able to differentiate between Mongolian and mongoloid?

That Khorne priest is pure 80s fantasy awesomeness, to the point even the armoured pants don't bother me all the much.

The head of the hunter doesn't concern me personally. It's going to be such an easy swap for people who care.

All in, and despite the fact that I don't intend to buy any of it (not my armies), I think this was a good release. Really like the new models, especially the S2D stuff.

With the big Slaves to Darkness update this means the AoS classic demons are all updated.

Tzeentch, Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh all have demons and mortals and good ranges of models.
Slaves to Darkness will get a big chunky update.


This leaves Beastmen and Skaven both armies that don't so much need new models as big updates (esp Skaven).

I don't think GW has shown all thier cards with the Seraphon yet. But then the current warcry setting does set up all three of these factions as getting updates.

The Khorne dudes look great, particularly that priest guys fancy head-dress.

King Brodd would be great but suffers from the same issue I have with the other Mega Gargants, they're so boring from the waist down!

I'm sure their wives don't complain...

Mega Gargants are sexually dimorphic, the females are larger than the males.

You heard it here first ;P

So, ForgeWorld only then!

The Khorne warrior transforming into a Khorgorath could easily be converted into a CSM Possessed. Speaking of Possessed, the Fantasy equivalent of Possessed, Forsaken, need models as well. I also would love to see new Chaos Spawn models. IMO, both should be based on the designs in the new Total War game.

Headcanon: All the megagargants are female, the normal gargants are male. They're sort of like angler fish when it comes to mating.

I am interested in what it means for Khorgoraths, as that is completely different fluff than they currently have.

What's Mongolian about it? Ogres ditched the overt Mongolian themes for new models in 8th edition when they got their own aesthetic, the only real residual being the facial hair style.

Maybe they don't all get transformed all at once but are given some battle experience before being fully changed.

As it stands Khorgoraths are made from wild beasts, not people, be they mutated or no.

That's what I've read in that past, although on the AOS wiki, it says that they're made from 'denizens' of the Realms, which could mean anything.

damn im not even into aos or WH:U but those three khorne models look fantastic.

The top left one would be great for conversions. those legs would look great on a convereted WE for HH. I can't put my nose picker on it but I really do like those models. Which is something I don't say often with nu-GW models. Good job sculpters. I don't know if its the painting, the sculpting, the whole package but for the first time in a long ass time I actually want to buy those just to paint them up.

An easy swap doesn't make it any less dumb though. Another nice mini ruined by a big ole dollop of AOS ridiculousness on top. If they are going to make a head that weird they really should go right ahead an include an alternate one in the kit too.

I wish they would add head swaps more often anyway, but yeah. This one is particularly egregious.

I like the head. I mentioned in another thread, it’s a bit goofy, but in a creepy way. Reminds me of some Americana slasher horror films like Wrong Turn or something.

I’m also not sure what’s particularly ‘AoS ridiculousness’ about some antler trophies on a monstrous hunters head. Vastly better proportions aside, I don’t think there’s anything about it that would’ve looked too out of place with the original Ogre Kingdoms release back in 2006 or whatever.

Spoiler:

I like the priest quite a bit. He would have fit nicely into the Arnie Conan with a bit more Set and a bit less Khorne. I'm tempted to buy the warband just to make something to that effect happen.

I think people might take exception to the idea of a crackshot hunter tying antlers to his head by covering his eyes and losing most of his sight. That's loony territory, and ogres tend to be of more practical disposition.

Since we're talking like there won't be another head option, was it stated on the stream or something? GW kits don't always have options, but when they do, heads are among the first to get considered. I wouldn't be too down about it yet unless we actually got confirmation.

Couldn't be arsed to dig up the Cursed City thread.

Anyway here' a cardboard only expansion using all those Soulblight models I've always said were originally intended for Cursed City and others said they weren't because they're not push fit.

My only surprise is that its card only and not including the models.

I wonder if this is GW just reacting to bad shipping issues or if GW is doing a test to see if people actually buy the Quest model line for the card and game or just for the models alone.

Still surprised they couldn't bundle sell them as a pack even if they are in different boxes when the customer gets them.

I like the center guy with the ornate headdress and banner. It's a unique khorne model and I haven't seen one that I liked in a while.

I mean I think the old fluff was kinda lame I'd be down for some newer fluff. Now if only the Khorgorath model was half as cool as these guys...

Honestly though my favorite part is the Skullgrinder's hammer not being comically oversized. It's more of a heroic oversized and I like that.

This doesn't prove it either way as much as them not being push fit didn't prove it either way. Are you saying the generic vampire lord was always intended for Cursed City too?

I don't even disagree with you, I think they always intended to release those two when they did and follow up with expansion content adding them in down the line.

We will know for sure in 20 years when some ex-designer spills the beans in an interview around the campfire while we roast his leg and keep an eye out for rival wastelanders.

Welp, Eternus was finally revealed.

Idk. The Be'lakor guys' helmets don't do much for me.

Yeah, off of his head!

But on other hand corrupted stormcast could be kinda interesting if done right.
