Is this a special character?

Nope. It's a veteran sergeant.

yes, he's an upgrade for a unit of Fleshhounds, Keranak if memory serves.

"ooooo"

neat.

it reminds me of Cerberus

Anyone know the price on these? It wasn't on the chaos price list a few posts down.

Do you mean the price in US dollars? Or the price in psychic distress for having to look upon these scaly beef-headed Trish Morrison-esque rusty-spoons-to-the-eye?

Ooh, ooh - my vote is for the cost in "rusty-spoons-to-the-eye"! (RSTTE) I'd say that's about 90 RSTTE, compared to about 16 RSTTE for the new Daemonettes. Mind you the last (current) Daemonettes were free in RSTTE.

They remind me of the Lizardmen Salamanders.

that was my first thought too, until I saw the non-cerberus ones.

A waste of white metal, IMNSHO.

GW never were able to pull off decent looking flesh hounds.

Yeah. Flesh Hounds have always looked dumb, and these are no exception.

Who did the basic, metal chaos hounds? They look great IMO. That sculptor can do dogs- you'd think they would start, say, patronizing sculptors who had proven themselves able to execute a certain form. I dunno, maybe that's crazy talk.

At least good old chaos hounds painted red are always a viable option.

my brother uses kroot hounds. painted shiney red they work very well too.

I honestly think that Flesh Hounds are the one model that has gotten progressivley worse as time's gone on. I mean, the last versions were better than these, and the version before that was far superior to those.

And they all sucked overall!

Why can't GW get Fleshounds right when models like the current Daemonettes and Screamers exist?

BYE

I quite like these new Flesh hounds to be honest, at least more than the previous incarnation. At the very least, these guys appear to be physically capable of biting someone and hurting them. As opposed to the previous models, which didn't seem to be able to open their jaws widely enough to get anyone's chewy bits past their enormous tusks. The 4th edition flesh hounds looked like they couldn't do anything more than perhaps serve as demonic pipe clamps. These guys at least convey a sense that they have use in non-plumbing applications.

Also, I don't have a lot of familiarity with the sizes of fantasy models, but I've often thought that a weak point in the Beasts of Chaos line was the silly, silly Dragon Ogres. These hounds could potentially make a very nice basis for some kind of Dragon Ogre conversion. Maybe.

According to these pictures on Warseer, Karanak is in price band F ($17).

I don't mid these models,
they do still look cartoonish (which is something that I thought they were trying to go away from)

But at least they have more types of models.

In other words, if this were a currency, what will it cost?

Ha! Good one! (And too true.)

Again, too true. And I love the Beasts army too. If they could only release something closer to the Shaggoth.

But then, they'd sure cost a lot (more) then...

Are they metal? I had thought they were plastic - which made me even sadder.

JOHIRA wrote:At the very least, these guys appear to be physically capable of biting someone and hurting them.

Well, they certainly bite.

No wonder Slaanesh hates Khorne. These make me hate Khorne too. Maybe they're supposed to be ugly on purpose? Maybe just to show his disregard for artistry and aesthetics Khorne makes his doggies look like iodine-deficient mongoloid Gila monsters with Down Syndrome?

Seriously guys. These are just embarrassing. Like Chaos possessed embarrassing. I mean, come on. Come, on.

speaking of slaanesh is it just me or do the new Daemonettes look absolutly crap???

I wouldn't say that they look absolutely crap, but they're certainly not as good as the previous batch.

Maybe they had a slaanesh and nurgle mix up.

they are crap.

more specifically, the old models were much much better.

Was checking them out the other day and weighing in the benefits of $2.20 plastic models into the equation. Really, if they had left the one exposed boob a nice full breast with nip and all, I could deal and be fine with the models -- really only the horrible pinchy claws stand out to me besides the lack of nipplage. BUT then I saw that the exposed 'breast' is this hideous deflated plain of wrinkled skin, and was horrifically turned off of the models. I look forward to somebody sculpting in half a chest and fixing the snipy claws for a nice little plastic demonette, but it won't be me.

Eh, I like the reptiles more than the sabretooth dogs, though I prefer the OLD retile hounds more than both. Keranak is atrocious though, especially at $17

- Salvage

why is it that the "FLESH" hounds look more like "SCALE" hounds?

Let's be fair here- the old daemonettes were awesome, the new ones just aren't amazing. They're pretty passable though, and Salvage makes a good point- $2.20 each, fellas. And coming from the company that makes the flesh hounds and the chaos trolls, etc., we should just be happy that they're well-proportioned and without stupid grins.

EDIT: Jeebus, I just reread my own simpering statement there. Screw that defeatism. Does anyone have suggestions for alternate-company daemonette models?

Just buy the metal models before they go OP.

allready put an order in for 12
