nice model but errr.... 1 year late gw?!!!!

**BrassScorpion**

It is a great looking mini, but I'm not sure what it adds to someone's overall collection. If you have any of the existing nice metal Skaven Warlords or the terrific plastic one from Island Of Blood and possibly the new Spinetail model too then this miniature is a bit redundant, though undeniably well done.

**philbrad**

Nice enough model but another Fantasy mini for the 3rd year in a row... whoop de dooo ...

Just hope GW DONT brow beat people into having to buy it with their GD tickets.

Well at least this gives me a reason to go to Games Day next year, haven't been for a fair few. I'll have to let my wife know so she can think about entering Golden Daemon again.

**Platuan4th**

So, who going to Games Day is willing to pick one of these up for me?

**Flashman**

It's the first time I've wanted a Games Day miniature. Nice sculpt methinks.

**mikhaila**

oooh, nice.

Happy I'm going to make the trip out to Chicago with a 24 foot truck. The skaven freaks in the club will be filling it with this model.)

**RiTides**

Tiny skaven model x infinity = filled 24 foot truck.

Maybe you'll snag another Orktoba or the like to fill that thing up

**Eldar Own**

Yeah, i don't collect skaven, but that is a nice model. Champions of stormvermin units worldwide should fear their position...

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Thats a possibility for me, potential Standard Bearer conversion as well. (might grab a second for that.)

He won't be a Warlord though, he'll be like Spinetail who's ended up in charge of my Plauge Monks as a Plauge Priest.

**Mr Mystery**

Very, very, VERY nice!

And ideal for those of us with a penchant for pocket rocket, super discount blastydoomdeath Warlock Engineers! Go on my little 15 point beauty, up the flank with the rocket!

**Grimstonefire**

Nice how they list the dates of all the Games days in the world except the UK...

I don't like the head of that guy, but the rest of it looks nice.

**FM Ninja 048**

Yey, fantasy model 3rd year in a row, looks good though.

bit disapointed about no UK on that list, would be nice to have a definate date

**The Decapitator**

I just can't believe the GamesDay has only just been and gone and they have released next years model already! Nice as it is, a 40K model wouldn't go amiss.....

**H.B.M.C.**

Ironically, if you are an Australian Skaven player this miniature just became harder to get. For the past few years we’ve been able to buy the Games Day mini in GW stores because, well, we don’t have Games Days.

However, now that we’re getting GD's back, and it’s only a single Games Day, in a single State, and it’s going to be held on the same day as the single biggest table-top/Roleplaying/boardgame event in my State (if not the country) of the year, this mini is suddenly a pain to get hold of.

Good job GW!

Sign me up! Very nice figure in the "new style" for the Skaven. I'll definitely be looking to add one or two to my Skaven horde!

So... no games day in Canada. Does that mean that there's no way to obtain this guy in Canada?

**BrassScorpion**

There is only one North American Games Day next year just like 2010. This next time it's in Chicago.

**punkisntdeadyet**

I really like it. ALMOST made me consider hitching a ride to Chi-town to pick it up.

Still waiting for Toronto Games Day to happen again. Except this time not in the middle of nowhere.

**Father Gabe**

What the F? They go from making a crappy model (this years mini) to one that looks freaking awesome!? GW...grrr..anger...taking over...rage....sigh..just gas, sorry.

**Sidstyler**

I dunno, I thought the sorcerer was okay.

hm? the sorcerer was alright and can easily be used in a chaos army in 40K, but i'm not a big fan of skaven or fantasy so.... i say meh

**The Decapitator**

I would have thought they would go through various concept sketches and the like until they all decide on a model to represent Games Day.

So regardless of whether some people liked it or not, it was obviously the best one put forward at the time. You will never please everyone.......

.......not unless they release Grombrindal as the GD model one year!

Considering how many versions(is it 4 or 5 now?) of Grombrindal they've made over the years for the magazine, do we really need one for Gamesday?

I'm with Philbrad on this one. Maybe next year it'll be an Elf Lord.
