You forgot the awful Orc one.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1126 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:37:55 AM »

I didn't even know there was one!

Moxer · « **Reply #1127 on:** November 13, 2009, 10:51:31 AM »

The orc one is really awful. the high elf one is quite nice, the empire one has goofy heads and oversized weapons but is OK.

When will we get pics of the new beasts? I can't wait much longer

The sad thing is, the beasts will arrive right after the brith of our first child and i will probably have better things to do than playing with my toy soldiers...

And where's my dark elf sorceress riding a horse? No one wants a cold one!

I agree. I would prefer a hot one as well...

Marginal, Soth. Have half a Midaski point.

Those plastic orcs are dire. The one on the mutant pig needs to see a dentist.

I loved the orc general box. None of the boxes wowed me, but that boar was fantastic. A couple of the heads were very good, and the bits gave a nice set of options yet were easily replaceable.

The bits are good, but the bodies are nothing special, the Blackorc-facemask is awful and the pig thrice the size of the "normal" ones with too long tusks and not enough fur.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1133 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:40:10 PM »

The flag looks OK though - at least it isn't a dead angel on a stick!

Siberius · « **Reply #1134 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:51:07 PM »

The problem is, we know from things like the Cole One Knights and Skeletons that they can do detail really well now in plastic, so they have no excuse for the slightly dumbed down bulked up general sets.

Boldrick · « **Reply #1135 on:** November 13, 2009, 02:09:44 PM »

Call me a freak but I have bought the orc one 9 times...
I really hope they make a kit for BoC:
Centigor feet and body
Beast on foot feet
2x body variants
Many weapon options
Many head options
Funny things like the snotling of the orcs or robot baby (It is freaken creepy...) of the empire
Details to show the mark that you bought for him.

Yeah I can only wish

Siberius · « **Reply #1136 on:** November 13, 2009, 03:14:44 PM »

I'd buy it if they did it.

Course if they released a bunch of new hero models that were up to Wood Elf character standards, I'd not complain. Not that the beast character choices we have are bad, on the wargor side anyways. They pretty much rock. New shamans are badly needed. It's basically axe up or axe down...

Moxer · « **Reply #1137 on:** November 13, 2009, 03:50:36 PM »

Afaik GW states not to make more plastic hero kits. Apparently they sold not well enough (or drew off too much of the metal characters sales...)
I heard somewhere that they had made a dwarf hero plastic kit, but the mould broke and it was never released.
The wizard kits are cool, too. Especially the high elf one.

phillyt · « **Reply #1138 on:** November 13, 2009, 11:41:15 PM »

I loved the boar. The new boars will certainly be similar, I think thats the point.

Phil

Siberius · « **Reply #1139 on:** November 14, 2009, 01:07:18 AM »

That boar is pretty sexy, I'll admit.

It's bordering on tuskgor sexy.

From the GW newsletter:

Incoming! Beastmen

In the dark places of the world, the Beastmen have been gathering in number and in February they will unleash their rage on the Warhammer world with renewed vigour. A feral army of twisted monsters, the Beastmen have inhabitant the dark forests and wild places of the world since such places existed. To lead a Beastmen army is to field vast herds of braying, brutish beasts who worship Chaos in all its forms, and who fight to level the civilised world.

This will be the first time ever that the Beastmen have had their own, completely stand-alone, army list. The forthcoming Warhammer Armies: Beastmen is full of twisted monsters old and new, and an all-new lore of magic. The Beastmen are the original inhabitants of the Old World: in February 2010 they come to reclaim it from the hands of Men.

Midaski · « **Reply #1141 on:** November 14, 2009, 12:40:15 PM »

"The Beastmen are the original inhabitants of the Old World:"

How are they going to justify that?

I thought Beastmen were a mutation of Beast and Man so Man had to be around for that to happen ....................

I might have to go to the dark depths of cupboard 4 to find my beastmen models ....................

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #1142 on:** November 14, 2009, 12:51:38 PM »

Hey look !

They're ogres with a cows' head !

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #1143 on:** November 14, 2009, 02:15:39 PM »

Indeed, you need men and beasts to get beastmens. Period. But maybe GW plans to reinvent their fluff again, hoping to get some people soft about the evil beasties.
Yeah, ogres with cowheads.

Now, I am not wetting my pants in exitement anymore. We´ll see...

t12161991 · « **Reply #1144 on:** November 14, 2009, 04:28:07 PM »

By original they probably mean that they were the most widespread before the Elves and Dwarfs decided to do a little housekeeping...

Boldrick · « **Reply #1145 on:** November 14, 2009, 05:05:22 PM »

GW fucked up again(pardon me...)
I can make marauders with goat heads too

They are also removing the chaos lore and only giving us a single beast lore.And I am predicting generally even less chaos influece.
Notice how they are now called beastmen instead of beasts of chaos.I think that was the case a long time ago but chaos had it's glory then.
It now resembles an all hated non-inspiring (artowork and modelwise) army, the "fantasy power armour" army and those new beasts I am already sceptical about.

Merrick · « **Reply #1146 on:** November 14, 2009, 06:34:57 PM »

Am I the only one who thinks that central beast looks a little too much like a man?

I mean, his chest is completely shaved, and very human.....

Not like I imagine them at all.

Well not really eight this is one of the main subjects on warseer the last 3 hours.

Merrick · « **Reply #1148 on:** November 14, 2009, 07:00:55 PM »

And for those who don't go on Warseer, and are going by this thread? Hmm?

Boldrick · « **Reply #1149 on:** November 14, 2009, 07:05:45 PM »

Well for those people I said "I can make marauders with goat heads too" obviusly a comment on the new gor look.

Soth said that they are ogres with cow heads too.
