Yeh, we had that chimera. I don't think we do anymore... where do these things disappear to? Wolfy had so much stuff that just vanished, including a whole load of horse archers, the ice queen, outriders...

Chimera were nasty in 5th too.

Manticore with breath weapons!

I notified my wife that the new beastman book was coming.

Her eyes started glazing over and she said "How much is this going to cost?"

Familiar.

Mine gave up asking though

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1029 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:17:03 PM »

I try not to mention such stuff to my better half... It´s better that way. Instead, I was very careful to inform her about me selling my Sisters of Battle to Soth.

phillyt · « **Reply #1030 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:23:28 PM »

On the plus side, I will really only need:

2 - 3 boxes of bestigor
2 boxes of chaos hounds
2 boxes of minotaur
All of the new heroes.

Thats only $200

If the gorgon is sweet, I'll buy that too. I have my scratch built super chaos spawn. He will work as a gorgon I think.

Lucky you!

My wife crawls up into a ball and weeps...

BTW, 75Hastings wrote over at Warseer that the new plastic minos looked like crap.

If it is because he still resents GW for the cost of greatswords remains to be seen.

I've learned these days not to listen to anyone's opinions on what looks good anymore.

I shall wait and judge for myself, though if they really did suck, that would help me not to feel like I need more

Finlay · « **Reply #1033 on:** November 06, 2009, 04:14:15 PM »

its so hard though.

I think the new state troops look like horrendous hunched monkeys.
I think the new demons are laughably loltastic.
I hate the new stegadon, which eceryone else seems to love.

But the new CoK are ace. Our pistoliers and outriders are good kits too. The WoC stuff is largely good too.

phillyt · « **Reply #1034 on:** November 06, 2009, 04:59:34 PM »

I love the state troops, the stegadon, and the bloodletters. Granted, the old demons were all amazing, so plastic versions are going to be much less impressive.

What beast model has sucked? Honestly, they get the beast just right every time since the last edition. The only ones which were only so so were the khornigors. Too many droopy horns.

Phil

Finlay · « **Reply #1035 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:05:57 PM »

that's true, the herds are really good kits.

I am just going to be optimistic about the minotaurs until I see them. I will definitely be getting some kits as I only have 1 metal one.

Merrick · « **Reply #1036 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:49:27 PM »

I do get this feeling that the Minotaurs will be crap. After a wait spanning two decades.

Siberius · « **Reply #1037 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:36:46 PM »

I actually liked the bloodletters too. At one point there were rumours of a unit of chosen style beasts for us, which seem to have dropped off the radar now, but they'd have made pretty cool chosen gors.

I can never make my mind up about the stegadon. It does look big and nasty, which is what it is, so they got that right, and I like the howdah... he is kinda chunky though...

I'm more worried about them messing up the beasts rules than the minis, though funky looking minis would be groovy. I just want to get that new exciting feeling about playing them again. I do hope the bestigors are nice models though, as I'll be needing to get a whole bunch of them (assuming they make them a good choice, otherwise I'll stick to my herds). I have faith in that though cos I think a lot of the recent core troop plastics they have put out are very tasty.

phillyt · « **Reply #1038 on:** November 06, 2009, 08:10:28 PM »

I am so fired up about beastmen. Having 3000 points already painted gives me a good feeling. It won't take more than a month to get the new batch done up, then I will be ready to finally do some damage to the newer armies!

Phil

Siberius · « **Reply #1039 on:** November 06, 2009, 09:17:23 PM »

They'll all accuse us of being too good and totally broken... are you ready for that?

yeh, i really want to get what I have finished.
2 chariots, a minotaur, a hero, 2 herd boxes.

Would let me jump into small games probably immediately! or with only a few additions.

Plus my beasts are very quick to paint/

Siberius · « **Reply #1042 on:** November 07, 2009, 01:03:16 AM »

I'm all painted up with what I have for my beasts bar three (soon to be defunct, sigh) ogres and 4 herd minis, so I'm totally ready for reinforcements!

Boldrick · « **Reply #1043 on:** November 07, 2009, 09:45:07 AM »

According to warseer the beast herd will be seperated to 2 boxes each costing 20 euros or so.One with ungors and one with Gors.

A wait considerably longer than your lifespan

Sir Paradus Hithili · « **Reply #1044 on:** November 07, 2009, 11:02:27 AM »

Geetings all
I have found info on the new BOC prices from Scryer off warseer and all I can say is: Those poor Beasts!

"Right, well it seems GW have changed the product code prefix for the whole Beastmen range (I had been wondering for a while now what these new prefix items were) which makes things slightly messier. There's no problem with the plastic kits:

Gors (Plastic Box) - £15.00 / US?? / 19,50 € / Oz$41.00
Ungors (Plastic Box) - £15.00 / US?? / 19,50 € / Oz$41.00
Bestigors (Plastic Box) - £25.00 / US?? / 32,50 € / Oz$69.00
Minotaurs (Plastic Box) - £27.00 / US?? / 35,00 € / Oz$74.00

But the metal box codes are a bit muddied by the multitude of new codes for existing metal products that aren't actually going to to be getting new kits. I have three metal products that are "new", I'm pretty certain the first two are Doombull and Grulgor respectively, and I get the feeling that the £35 box is just the existing Centigors. So I'll just leave these unassigned for the moment until I can get a confirmation on what is actually new and what has just been given a new product code:

(Metal Box) - £15.00 / US$25.00 / 22,50 € / Oz$44.00
(Metal Box) - £25.00 / US$41.25 / 32,50 € / Oz$69.00
(Metal Box) - £35.00 / US$57.75 / 50,00 € / Oz$96.00

It's a bit hard to judge that without knowing how many models are in each box.

Mogsam · « **Reply #1046 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:20:36 PM »

£15 should be 10 big models. They aren't anymore expensive than Black Orcs as Gors as long as they have 10.

Beastigors might be expensive if they aren't more than 10, but since you don't know how many their are... This whole topic is moot at this point.

Mogsam

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1047 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:25:51 PM »

Yes, it would be helpful to know the numbers of minis per box first before we unleach our righteous nerd rage.
20 Beastigors for said sum is ok.
10 is Goldgors.

For the normal gors and ungors, it´s looks like the normal trend.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1048 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:28:30 PM »

What's a 'grulgor,' by the way?

Siberius · « **Reply #1049 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:23:18 PM »

We're getting gors and ungors in separate boxes?

This is all a bit weird.
