Finally plastic Titans, hopefully the infamous "Titan-gap" will be condemned to the history books and the damn things will go together properly from now on.

Compare the body of the Raider to the body of the Starter Savages, they're exactly the same.

Plus, same price as the plastic light Jacks.

I'm loving the legs on those Cryx units.

Plastic Everblight, you say?

Hrmmmmah...

I'm not a huge fan at all of the new Trollblood lights - they are a step backward in the sculpts compared to the originals, IMO. I think it's the head-sculpts and the weird poses as much as the fact that they appear to be smaller than their metal counterparts.

The new cyclopes look puffier than their old versions, and that's not to my liking either.

The new crabjacks, though... holy crap. I want an entire Cryx army of these someday.

My only quibble with this at the minute is that PP have always been prety clear on sign-posting on the gallery page whether a model is plastic - and at this point in time, there is nothing there saying they are.

Now that you say that, they do look like a red version of those. The buzzsaw one looks especially Cryx-ey.

Fix'd. The Crabjacks are about eight years old now.

new plastic Kaya still terrible to me...

and the new Trolls arent terrible to me... old sculpt just look "cuter" imho

Look at the entry for the Vigilant. It's a plastic light warjack with no indication that it's plastic:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/the-protectorate-of-menoth/warjacks/vigilant

Or the Firefly, which is also plastic with no indication:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cygnar/warjacks/firefly

Also, Bombadiers:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/khador/units/man-o-war-bombardiers

Neither of the following Bonejacks are listed as plastic but are:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cryx/warjacks/defiler


In fact, the only things clearly indicated as Plastic are re-sculpts(minus the Defilers), Fennblades, and Warspears. And Retribution Myrmidons.

About time. Now hurry up with some plastic units/casters.

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.

There are not any options in a typical PP kit since they are meant to represent just one model. Their plastics are made very differently than what you might know from gw, they are more like resin kits or metal models that just happen to be plastic instead. Plastic heavy warbeasts and warjacks have options for three different builds (think lascannon/autocannon/baal predator variants with side sponsons tied to main weapon and not variable). The recent man-o-war shocktroops shake this up a bit with a few extra head options and little plastic medals.
The starters don't offer any real options but are a savings over buying the individual models.

i prefer metals over the plastics, but most of these models look decent. i dont like the general "fugly" stick they hit the troll beasts with.

And still no starter sets for Gators or the Warpigs.

I think the new troll beasts are a little disappointing. For me, it's the heads that really ruin it- they look like slightly outsized trollbloods, whereas the old trolls had a much craggier cast to their features, almost neanderthal compared to modern human sort of look.

The Mercs lost their two and Retribution has yet to see one.

Did you honestly think Minions were getting one?

The first of the resin (and metal) recasts of formerly all metal kits has been announced.

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/khador/warjacks/behemoth

The same model, the same price IIRC, just lighter and less likely to have a price hike.

Not hating on the new troll sculpts, but I do prefer the metals. Which is OK, since I have them

Plastic Crabjacks?!

PLASTIC CRABJACKS!

Oh happy, happy day! I've been holding off on picking these up on account of hearing how much of a bitch the metal ones are to put together. This is good news =)

I'm not Warmahordes biggest fan here, but they really do great stuff. This box is amazing to me!!



I might give them a try...

How big are the crabjacks compared to, say, a Marine Dread?

Wasn't the Bronzeback the first resin/metal hybrid kit? It was announced on Sep 2, 2011:

http://privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-09-02-2011

"Also hitting store shelves this month is the first 50 mm resin/metal hybrid kit for WARMACHINE or HORDES: the Bronzeback Titan."

Crabjacks are on large bases, so 50mm, whereas I think dreads are on 60mm bases? That being said the crabjacks all look to be filling up their base completely so I don't think they'd look too odd on the larger base size.

H.B.M.C. wrote:How big are the crabjacks compared to, say, a Marine Dread?

Give me a few minutes, I'll grab you pics of the metal version next to one.

Keep in mind, most of the PP plastics received a slight upscale from their older metal counterparts.

Some look cool, others dont

Maybe this will soon accumulate to a hordes two player set

I guess this also means theres no chance of any variant starters too

In fact, it's quite a feat if you can manage to get all of the crabjacks' legs on the 50mm base.

Here ya go, HBMC. Leviathan next to a plastic Marine Dread and (because I know what you're really after) a Blood Slaughterer:

Yeah... the new trolls are pretty awful looking :/ Took a few looks, but really not digging them.

Also, the old box art was great. These are pretty lame.

Ok... so the Slaughterer is much bigger than I thought it was. Thanks for the pics Platuan4th.

Good to see some plastic Crabjacks. I kinda wish that the Plastic Desecrator came out sooner otherwise I would have never bought the Deathjack (planning a big conversion using plastic slayer parts).

H.B.M.C. wrote:Ok... so the Slaughterer is much bigger than I thought it was. Thanks for the pics Platuan4th.

No problem.

Yeah, the Slaughterer was a lot bigger than I thought when I got it in. I felt better about the price once I actually had it in hand.
