Yeah i thought the whole "multi wound, high T and S" but not monstrous infantry was actually really interesting. Pretty neat all told.

I actually want to see a size comparison between one of these and an actual ogre though.

You're just jaded to the prices already...couple of years when GW released Deathwing Terminators for €45 per 5 models, people were up in the arms...now, similar price level feels just "meh".
Yeah I'm not sure why people are so excited about the price. It's $11US per model, they're only on 40mm bases so they're similar size to Terminators, which are only $10 per model and they're actually smaller than Ogres which are $6.67 per model and Leadbelchers/Ironguts which are $10 per model. When you look at the kit as a whole rather than per model, it's $55 for 105 pieces, vs $50 for 100 pieces in Wolf Guard Terminators, $40 for 107/110/131 components for Leadbelchers/Ironguts/Ogres respectively.
So it's far from awesome value compared to the other GW kits of similar size. Or maybe people have just become too accustomed to paying $45 for an egg sized gyrocopter

In all respect, the gyro is pretty damn good though
Regardless of price, its a model that i paid for even though i had no use, simply because i wanted one.
Last time i did that was the new lemartes model and the chappy in termie armour before that.
However, these guys dont look so bad to me.
Nice variety there, which is rare.
Would make some nice beasts of nurgle from them though.

Yeah, I think that's my problem. Some of GW's pricing is absolutely insane- a great example of this (like you said) the gyrocopter, which is about the size of one of these nurgle orges but costs 4 times as much as one!

Meanwhile Australians look at the American price of $55 and think "hey, that isn't too bad a price at all" and look at the australian price of 92 fething dollars and change their assessment.

Big whooptie-poop, more Nurgle...
Sure it looks stunning & amazingly gross, but as a Tzeentch player, there's nothing to interest me in the least in this release. Heck, even a Slaany or Khorne option(s) would have likely tugged at the purse strings some, but a 100% pure Nurgle release means I can thankfully ignore GW's releases this month.

I'm sure there's going to be various other WoC stuff for End Times. Plus you could cover your Tzeentch base with a Mutalith Vortex beastie

Rumors all foretold of a massive Chaos creature dedicated to Nurgle, and a Nurgle focus for a release wave. So of course GW was going to focus on Tzeentch!
Tzeentch and Khorne are covered with the Mutalith/Vortex Beast. Now Slaanesh needs a big critter.

My geuss is it will probably be comparable in cost to the mortarchs from the first part of end time. So $95 Canadian but it might cost a bit more it depends one the size really but looks comparable in size to those models.
