Not sure how to take that, a promise, a threat, or just a suggestion?  :engel:

We will most likely need to wait until the skaven are all out before we see much.

Do you know this movie where two guys wearing luminescent condoms fight in a dark room (it was a star wars reference of course). You remark brought the memory back... hilarious !

John Ritter was one ( the Dad who died in 8 Simple Rules) - he was the sex-addict 'hero' of the film and it started with him nearly being shot by one mistress (Tasha Yar from Star Trek NG) whilst in bed with another.

Cannot remember the name of the film though?
Edit: "Skin Deep" a Blake Edwards (10) film


John Ritter also starred in a short-lived detective thing, where Furillo's ex wife - Barbara Bosson ? - in Hill Street Blues, played his police boss, and he had a stupid small dog ........

I'm looking forward to someone saying the price is reasonable, because there is a set of extra arms or a dead pigeon or something included in the kit.
What if it's an EXTRA super awesome dead pigeon, arguably worth £15 on its own?
I agree with the inhumane treatment of animals.

You're right. It was a bad example.

Let's say the box comes with a dead squirrel instead.

Over on TWF, somebody was planning to buy the greatswords JUST FOR THE LOOSE GREATSWORD ON THE SPRUE.

I see Madness there...

Now, I would love more greatswords, so I can have two blocks of them in a Middenland army... But they are just too expensive for me to find it worthwhile... :icon_sad:

It's worth it though.

It would fit nicely into the pile of pewter rocks I bought from GW earlier. At 2 GBP each.

rumours by hastings say ungors will be back on 20 mm bases.That will piss off all the players who rebased their 20mm ungors when they became 25 mm in 6th ed!

Also, ungors will be able to have short bows. I'd have preferred javelins or slings fluffwise, but hey, short bows actually have range...

Short bows??

That's silly. Why not use the highly underused javelins and slings?

This is beginning to sound weird...

If they are changing the base size, that makes it sound like the herd will split too...

This would make me sad...

Also, this was posted on the herdstone (and warseer). a first glimpse of a "new" gor. They are VERY close to the old ones (which is fine, except for more poses and weapons there is nothing to improve on these!)

"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 ....................

Expect a lawsuit for copyright infringement within the next two weeks.

Seriously though, good point.

Actually the Liber Chaotica mentions that there was a half-intelligent human-like race in the old world even before humans settled there (Neanderthalians??). Chaos mutated those (and their animals) and they became the first beastmen. So yea, they were there before the humans.

Since 5th edition is back in style now, can we expect two-wound beastmen?

Base size changes are the single most annoying thing they can do in warhammer. Especially changing to a smaller size.

I doubt they will change the base size.  MArauder are on 25mm and the ungor are still in a herd with gor (this has been all but confirmed by Harry - especially true since they said they fixed the ranking issues with herds).

That model does look different.  I think you are right, just a couple arm swaps and a different banner really.

Looks like I will need some gor boxes now...

That mini doesn't look any different to me... isn't that makable from the current box set? The banner and the axe both look like the ones they already do...  :?

If they are the same but slightly different, man that would be cool. I often wish when they get something right that the next time they do them, they will keep the same look, but just a new set of poses. Imagine how amazing it would have been had they done that with 6th ed State Troops.

Oh dear, oh dear. If those prices at warseer are correct, gors and ungors are going to be a hell of a lot more expensive (10 new gors=15 pounds, current: 12 gors and 8 ungors for 18). And since stocking up now is out of the question as all my hobby money is dedicated to Skaven atm, this looks like it'll be the death blow for an Aldaris beastmen army next year...
