Mercenary Warcaster - Durgen Madhammer

Mercenary Warjack - Grundback Blaster Light Warjack

Trollblood Unit - Pyg Bushwhackers Unit Box

Legion of Everblight Unit - Legion Warmongers Unit Box

 

And the rest of the releases:

Okay, those are all pretty cool. Sigh. My poor wallet!

Man....

I like those Pygs.  Another nice looking unit for the nice looking Trollbloods.  I've liked pretty much everything for the Trolls so far...I definitely think they're the faction for me if I start playing Hordes.

Those Warmongers look like they mean business!  I haven't really liked a lot of the Everblight stuff, but I do like those!

Out of Hordes everyone around here is playing Trolls, so it forces the rest of us to try and find something else. Those Warmongers are very nice. Now we just need some very cool Circle minis.

Hello WarMongers. Welcome.

Warmongers are totally awesome.... good to see Everblight getting some better sculpts... the blighted swordsmen/archers were really sub-par, imo, as were some of their other sculpts.

Also love the pygs... makes me want to play trollblood even more.

I would have liked to see the Pygs wearing more clothes than they are. The other 'civilized' trollblood types like the Scattergunners and Champions are fully clothed, even the Axer and Impaler are wearing more.

$50 for 4 Warmongers? Wow. So, where is all the ranting about prices? Oh right, its not GW's release. And please, 'metal' vs plastic doesn't matter one bit, its still $50.

Those Warjacks look like they might make good Imperial Knights for Epic.

I predict we'll see some of those Warmongers as Obliterators sometime soon.

Those Warmongers are nice...Definitely Oblit material.

Different games. People who prefer the Privateer Press stuff think they
get more for their 50 dollars in terms of gameplay and quality than they
would get out of spending 50 dollars on GW stuff.

That's $12.50 each.  Kinda expensive yeah, but how much is an equivalent GW mini?  Minotaurs run like $17-20 (I don't remember how much exactly the last price hike was), and they don't look half as good.



Anyway, I really wanted to get Durgen for a buddy for Christmas, but I see that's not going to happen.  But his birthday's in early April so that might work.


And the Warmongers look awesome.  They're the first Everblight minis I've really liked.

PP has always been a little more expensive than GW model for model, but the overall price point for PP is much lower, roughly $150 for a tournament sized army vs almost $500 for GW. That's what keeps the pissing and moaning down. I'm not saying that PP does it right, they have some models that are just ridiculous. The $60, 3 piece cavalry box comes to mind. It still stings to plop down that much money for such a small unit, but you know that that $50 box is a big portion of your army. I had the same thing when I bought my Tharn Ravagers (a $50 box for 4) and needed a fifth.

As for the models, those warmongers really make me want to play legion again, they're so cool. Look like they'd paint up quickly also. Too bad there's so many legion players in my area already.

Yep... $20 for a GW Chaos Ogre/Troll/Dragon Ogre/Minotaur.

The Warmongers are much better sculpts, and will fill up about 1/5th of the army. A unit of 3x dragon ogres will be about 1/10th of a chaos army.

The Warmongers are very nice. Wish PP could be more consistent with their sculpts.

While I don't play any PP games yet, those models are very nice.

I like everything about the warmongers but the faces. Something about the heads/faces that I just don't care much for.

I believe the Warmongers would make excellent replacements for Minotaurs in Chaos armies for WHFB.

Has the Drakhun been seen here yet? There's a pic at http://www.minipainters.com/ (in the forums).

You guys missed the most important part of that post.....



....Tharn Bloodtrackers!!!


We've been aching for those since Primal first came out!

Feel free to add this image to the first post if it is news

$12.50 per Obliterator sized model v. $22.00 for the actual Obliterator. If you can't see the difference, you probably should stop playing games that involve numbers.

Or approximately $40 to get a viable force in Dark Age.

Hang on...you're not talking about clicky Mechwarrior are you?

Are you talking about a different Dark Age?

how big are the warmongers compared to space marines? chaos possed, well for me i was thinking more like Wulfen after some converting

Hordini, you NOOOOOB : http://dark-age.com/main.php

Beef:



Check out that shadowy figure on the right. It's 30mm tall. And then check out
weetoysoldiers scale comparisons.

Dark Age is Brom. Brom is good.

Brom is not good. Brom eats Teddy Bears. Brom is hella creepy.
Which is kind of good, in a way, but not... good.

Oh snap!

Definitely not clicky Mechwarrior......looks like something much better...
