Subject: Privateer Press: Hordes: Gargantuans (New Skorne Character Beast pg 31)
Update 3/8, posted by AduroT from the thread on Muse On Minis;
My summary of all the spoilers so far. Copy-pasted from several sources on PP's and F&F's boards (huge thanks to Hatred on F&F!).
Trollbloods

Has two Reach swords with the P+S +1 of a Fennblade sword. Has Righteous Vengeance, Hard, Commander and Unyielding. Has the same MAT, cost and Health as a Skinner. Has Fennblade ARM +1.
Night Troll
Light warbeast that costs the same as a Swamp and has the same stats. Has Stealth, Paralysis (see Krea) on his melee attacks, an animus that forces warrior models to move directly towards him (range self), Eyeless Sight and Man Eater.
Warders (apparently they still have some abilities which have not been spoiled yet)
Have Champ stats with +1 ARM and -1 SPD. Have Battle Driven and Reach. Costs the same as a unit of Fennblades.
Mountain King
Eh, everyone knows by now.
Hunters Grim
--Has Mirage, Mage Sight and Pursuit as spells. One of his pyg buddies has a snare gun and the other has a Blunderbuss (see winter guard). They each grant an ability: Circular Vision and Reform. Both pygs have RAT 6. Grim's feat grants friendly faction models Mark Target (see Cygnar Rangers) and Snipe.
--The other ability that one of the Pygs is Trapper.
Place a 5" AoE touching this models base. Living and Undead models entering or ending their movement suffer a POW 10. If the model is damaged it is Knocked Down. Flying and Incorp models do not suffer from Trapper.
--They have 360 LOS and reform.

--Mortality is Grims last spell.

Unseen entries:

--Stats: Morvhana the Autumnblade, +2 SPD, +2 ARM, +2 boxes
--Feat: See Bell of Lost Souls; basically, can spend life to resurrect destroyed models

Tharn Blood Pack
--SPD 6 MAT 7 RAT 6
--RNG 12 POW 13 bows
--POW 11 melee

they are 7/10 so kinda spendy
New Satyr

Animus is Bulldoze (self)
Also has Hard Head and Aggressive
New Griffon Warbeast
--Animus: Amuck (so who was it who said we'd never get RNG: 6 animi again?)
--Flight
--Can apparently trample over everything, period. Adds pow to tramples for a total of P+S 12.
--Points cost: 5
--The Griffon actually takes no free strikes at all, even from other models while trampling.
Skorne
Makeda3
Feat: Dance of Death - When a model in Makeda’s battlegroup destroys one or more enemy models in her control area with an attack, either Makeda can gain 1 fury point or 1 fury point can be removed from a model in her battlegroup in her control area. Dance of Death lasts for one turn.
--Spells: Eliminator, Vortex of Destruction, Ground Zero, Sunhammer
--P+S 15 sword with Blood boon and reach.

--Eyeless sight
--Arcane Supression animus
--lets his controlling warlock upkeep a spell for free
--creates Void Spirits out of enemy warrior models
--Affinity Mordikaar: gains dark shroud in Mordikaar's control area.
Might also cost 10, have MAT 6 and critical brutal damage on the tail.
Should mention that he can only create the Void Spirit once per turn, and that he is still a Rhinodon so his base P+S is pretty tame.
Legion of Everblight
3Lylyth (Previously Spoiled)
Afflictor (Released, Previously Spoiled)
Archangel (Sadly, Previously Spoiled)
Warchief Ua (Released, Previously spoiled)
Nephilim Bloodseer
Can cast another warbeasts animus ala Cyclopss shaman (Primal magic is the name of the rule)
animus is Witch blight (new)
Has Telemetry (see Mark Target. but for Magic) against enemy models within 5" of this model. Cost 5pts, 12/19
Legion Lesser Warlock
Known Abilities:
Costs: 3
Fury: 4
Spells: Energizer, Blood rain
Field Marshall: Aggressive
Hits alot harder with lesser beasts In melee with its target.
Can only take lesser warbeasts.
Minions
Midas
Midas is FURY 6 MAT 6 14/16 if I remember correctly.
Feat is wordy: Pet Cemetery
Spend X Fury and bring back any number of warbeasts that is in Midas battlegroup. Return all warbeasts with 1 point in each aspect healed. All returned warbeasts gain Undead, Heal all warbeasts in his control area for the amount of Fury spent during the feat. (This means both the ones brought back and the ones still in play).
Then there is some stipulations about which can and can not activate etc.
Oh they also have to be placed within 3" of Midas when they come back.
Spell List: Bad Blood, Hex Blast, Battle lust and Calamity.
Curse[Bone Grinders]: See Bane Lord Tartarus Curse
Butchery, when a living warbeast dies within his ctrl area he gains a Bone token, any time during his activation remove up to 3 bone tokens and replace them with Fury. ( no limit on how many bone tokens he can have.)
Has Blood Boon on his weapon (P+S 13) If he kills an enemy Warbeast he can casts its animus or a cost 3 spell for free.
Dismember: rolls an extra damage dice with melee attacks against warbeasts.
Rask and Razor boars have been spoiled already, Midas are above, the Gobber mechanik is a solo that has Repair 8 and a RNG 8 POW 10 gun Rat 4. Costs 1 point and will apparently work for all the Hordes factions plus Cygnar and Khador.
Bog trog shamblers are as follows:
Take Alexia and the risen make them worse since they are hordes and then you have the Shambler and Trogs.
The Bokor has Death magic just like Alexia. He poops out Undead togs that are 10/13 SPD 5 MAt 5 POW 8. He can not make them any better than that.
I cant remember what his other spell/ability does but it's RNG 3. His CMD is 8.

And Skorne will get a preview last, I am sure. Show me the Mammoth already!
As for the Gargantuans thus far, if they have a power level like the Colossi, then I can't effing wait! P+S 20+ with all of Skorne's speed buffs?! Yes, please.
Well they sure are making up for the Extreme Carnivean, eh?

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

I was iffy bout starting legion there beasts are rather hit or miss with me but after seeing archangel and xtreme carni I may have to get my blight on. I will wait to see what the woldwrath looks like first tho.
I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.

More from the Gargantuans book (not sure if that's the name yet). Looks like it will just be an Epic Warlock and a Gargantuan for each faction (just like Colossals will just have a caster and colossal per faction). Will edit a few pics of each into the OP when I get home.
Circle Woldwrath:
Epic Grim Angus... 3 man warlock unit "The Brothers Grim"
Epic Morvahna
More pics of the Legion gargantuan:

Also found this video on youtube of the Legion model:

WOW just WOW.
Mega cool stuff coming from PP.
As a note to an above poster. The Hordes Gargantuan book will not have the limited release`s of colossals. There will be more than 2 models per faction
Note that in the video the sculptor is basically describing the Legion model as being almost done, but not complete- he still has to put the skin on it and add details. So it's still WIP!

How are these in relation size-wise to the colossals in Warmachine? Are these the equivalents in hordes to them? I'm not too familiar with warmahordes (nor do I know how the games interact).

Yes, they're the Hordes analog to the Colossals.
Games Workshop Delenda Est.
Users on ignore- 53.
If you break apart my or anyone else's posts line by line I will not read them.
I believe that is also going to be the name of the Hordes book released with them... not sure, but it'd make sense since the Warmachine book coming out this summer is called "Colossals".
Loving the picture for Emorhvanna and Egrim. Wip models for archangel and woldwrath look good can't for the finished product. Guess I'm gunna have to starting a big boys hordes faction instead of just gators.
Now for the big question will next hordes xpac have 2 new regular epic casters or 1 legendary and 1 epic.

The book is called Gargantuans, they confirmed it on the back of the latest No Quarter Magazine..
I want to see the Skorne one... I need the Troll one and I'll probably get the Skorne one :(

PP website on many of the colossals threads it has been mentioned by PP staff. There should be something about it later tonight I believe
