Can't post the pictures here myself because I'm only on my phone [edit: someone else did couple posts down], but PrivateerPress.com has a bunch of their new plastics up on their homepage. So many so in fact that they don't all fit on the first page of upcoming releases. Such goodies as Hordes Battleboxes and light beasts, plastic Titans, and plastic crab jacks.

Sweet jeebas, that's a lot of new kits. Also, totally called it on the lack of Titan resculpts.

Plastic battlegroup starter boxes:






Plastic Red Rocket or Cyclops Raider

Plastic crabjacks






Plastic Titan Senry, Cannoneer and Gladiator






Gladiator and Sentry are basically identical to current metal ones, the cannoneer has different torso, head and arms.

I love Cryx models. I really do.

And a plastic Master Tormentor Morghoul!!! I bought him and converted him into a Heretek Tech-Priest. Now there's a plastic one? Grrr!!!!

Actually, I take my last post back. The Titan is totally a resculpt all-around.

Also, goddamn bane-jack. Can we just cancel that particular release?

As much as I love my Cryx and Banes, that Accumulator: Bane rule was stupid, because people really don't need more reason to field them and it doesn't even make sense. Accumulator: Cephalyx would have made much more sense on both accounts. That is a sweet looking crab jack/buzzsaw though a d I may have to pick o e up.

The new wolves are just awesome. The new Cyclopes seem ok, kinda chubbier, but not bad. Heard a bunch of complaints on the new more hunch backed troll lights, a d I can see where they're coming from, though they're not terrible per say. The trolls do seem to be getting the more raw end of the plastic resculpts.

Also, thanks for posting those. I was hoping someone would as PP's site is hard on my phone browsing.

Ooo Plastic battleboxes for Hordes? Me gusta. Might pick up the Trollkin one after I get the 2-player starter set.

Hoping for a Hordes version of that to come out someday.

How much will these starters cost? The trolls look a bit smaller than the metals or is it just my imagination?

The best thing for Troll starter would be getting these and getting metal

These guys remind me of some of the enemies in Metroid.
Still good looking models, good shading too. I wonder if PP only have one artist?

Some very nice things in there, especially the Helljacks.

Can't say I'm happy with the Troll lights. I always loved the fact that they stood upright. It gave them an aura of intelligence, next to the hunched "feral" lights and heavies. But I got the metal box anyway, so I've got all Impalers and Axers I'll ever need.

Looking at the Privateer site, these starters are 49.99 each, USD.

Ouch.

Cryxian Helljacks at 34.99

Hrrr, I like Skorne, even more so now being in plastic. Tempting, tempting

Saphos wrote:Hrrr, I like Skorne, even more so now being in plastic. Tempting, tempting

Yep. Thinking about Orboros and Skorne now.

How can you tell the cyclops raider is plastic?

Annnnd my desire to build the metal gladiator in my closet has dropped even further Nice stuff all around (barring trolls I suppose), though plastic crabjacks seem especially useful, for how fiddly the current metals are ... *tentatively swaps metal seether for plastic desecrator in his hypothetical eSkarre tier list*

Ouch.

The battlegroup boxes have been $50 for quite a while, so this isn't big news.

Not terribly expensive, given the size and number of models, IMO.

Privateer Press releases plastic crabjacks the day after I purchase two metal Harrowers.......

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-

EDIT: NM, they don't come out until May.

i traded off my metal crabjacks in anticipation of plastic...and to keep from hurting something if i tried to build another of them

i may well pick up the trollbox just for the niftyness of plastic, and alt sculpts of the beasts

I want to used the Helljacks as counts-as Khornate Blood Slaughterers.

Now that you say that, they do look like a green version of those. The buzzsaw one looks especially Khorney.

Hmm, just as many wiffs as hits to me. A lot of them look great, especially the crabjacks. I don't particularly care for the new Trolls stuff, and if I were just starting out now I wouldn't pick them. I'm glad I have the metals. The Cannoneer looks like a child that just found out he is going to McDonalds for a Happy Meal with that smile. The mace pose is more 'Yay we get ice cream!' as opposed to being menacing.

Have you hugged your cannon today?

had that same skorne starter when it was metal.. I remember the cyclops arms were pretty much hell to glue together. hopefully they fixed em for plastic

Read my mind. Damn you PP!

The size different is a little much on that front. A Blood Slaughterer is big enough to fill a Large GW oval base. (I know, I have a room mate with 2 that site on those bases perfectly).

What do you think that Gladiator is going to do?

In fairness, these do look quite similar to the metal models, which always suffered from having less than optimal (IMO) studio paint jobs. Handling them in person, and seeing Ron Kurzie's Skorne in No Quarter, should show them to be less derpy.

I like it too, but the $50 price tag is causing hesitation...

I'm not a WM player, but I'm curious about these kits. I know WM isn't a wargear-type game like 40k, but what kind of build options/posing do theese kits have?

I agree that 50 bucks seems like alot, but after the usual discount, it doesn't seem like any more than GW prices for such large models.

Must be weird. I like the Trolls. And plastic for hordes increases my chances at getting into Warmahordes since I hate metal and I'm not a fan of the human models aesthetic. I also like the Circle box, giant good looking wolves are cool, and better with 2 heads
