You can take cheap snotling pump wagons to blockade him off from your army if you are worried.

Well with his movement it's not likely he would have LOS to the rest of your army anyways... so the only worry is him failing charges against an enemy, or rolling a 1 on the first turn and being useless.

It does seem way overpriced in points however.

edit: Does anyone find it odd that he has a unit strength and the large target special rule? Almost as if he wasn't made for 8th ed., or the person who wrote the rules is still stuck in 7th?

My guess, the extra 25% you get for Storm of Magic games

Very nice model

Large target is still a special rule...and it's not unit STRENGTH, it's unit SIZE...a stat that every unit has...it tells you how many models per unit...you know, 10+, 2-5, 1, etc.

I'm not sure who's stuck in 7th here...

Okay. Now that I can see the picture, I must say that I am very underwhelmed. I can see a lot of people making their own out of foam/green stuff before handing over £65.00 for this. I don't think I've ever said anything like that about Forge World stuff before. :/

I like it. It looks pretty bloody big and I thought that £65 seemed like a good price, but I guess you see FW/WF and just expect a three figure price + separate arms every time!

I do agree with Breotan, a messy afternoon and a block of foam could probably produce something similar.

Yea a bit underwhelming for me too. I actually was imaging something a bit more....non rocky

Like planks of wood, spears with heads/assorted trophies on them, etc

Looks better than I expected. I like it. But then again, I am no Orc player.

Reminds me a lot of the game shadow of the colossus, thats cool if a little far fetched on my part.

I doubt that the grass comes with - maybe they should have a disclaimer.

Also it looks like some you could scratch build out of PIR insulation (the pink or blue stuff).

I was thinking clay, but, yeah.

It's a nice sculpt, but, really, it feels like it isn't necessary. Just get a bunch of heavy glue, rocks, foam, and air dry clay, and save $

Ah you're correct! I had only quickly glanced over it this morning and completely misread the unit "size" part.

Ok now I see it.

It's a Rokknaught.

Ok.

I don't really like this new model. Feels too Warcraft to me.

I like it, but it feels too easy to scratchbuild.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, too. There is an alternate head:



So in reality, the FW model and a little foam, you get the Rogue Idol, plus an extra head to make a normal idol. I kinda like that!
