I can see what they were going for but I think they've overdone the headturn by about 20 degrees to look natural.

And yes, a real wolf probably can do that but they don't have arms, so they look okay.

It’s one of the better Werewolf sculpts I’ve seen in my time, though I agree with the comment above that perhaps the head turn is a bit extreme.

Most importantly though it has bags of character, and looks the part.

Yeah, that's... a sculpt.
When I opened up the image in my ipad this morning, it took a moment to figure out what I was looking at. Was thinking the skull was the head and the rest just... a mess of limbs and protrusions.

Once I read that it was supposed to be a werewolf I was able to put the image together properly, but it didn't gel at all at first look. Just too many pieces of unexpected gear and weird angles.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

He already has some straps around one calf, so just paint them pink to match the tutu.

Based on previous BB releases, is it safe to assume that the new Khorne team roster will be 0-16 Khorneline, 0-4 Khorne berserkers and 0-2 Khorngors? Could they be hiding a minotaur release? Once again, it'll be difficult to flesh out a full team without buying an entire box for the extra linemen... Anybody hear differently?

Probably definitely a 0-12 line-dudes list, with 0-4 of the other two positions, unless they sneak in a 0-2 “runner” type as well in which case 0-2 Khornegors would fit.
0-16s tend (only tend, not a hard rule) to be “bad” players as in S2 or with negative traits.
Almost certainly at least one Big Guy position, possibly 0-2 Minotaurs but chaos ogres might be available too in which case it’ll be 0-1 each. I reckon trolls are unlikely to be an option.
But that’s basically pure speculation; no-one has any actual rumours regarding the roster that I’m aware of. Many people seem to be assuming they will be a nearly untouched reprise of the Khorne daemon team from the FUMBBL “secret” teams list, for what that’s worth.

Chaos Chosen, Humans, Necro, Orcs, Skaven all still have 0-16 for their base linemen. I know that all of the elves, dwarfs, skinks etc. were dropped to 12 in the new ed. I think you're right, probably a 0-12 position, but wouldn't be shocked if they were 0-16 if there is no big guy position. I sincerely hope they don't have 0-4 khorngors and only two in the box... GW would never put only 2 of a 0-4 in the team box...

I'm a bit surprised that aside from speculation based on the releases of Scylla and Max, there were no solid rumors about the Khorne team.

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to update my Greebo Khorne team and at the current release rate, it could be months before we know more...

I sure hope the Khorne warriors have the tab on their foot to insert into the base slots. If it's another deal like the wood elf catchers it'll turn me off from the kit for sure.

I must admit that I like the fact that the most successful Khorne team has only taken to trying to actually win games so that they can climb the league and take more prestigious skulls.

Most certainly, yes. Called a Bloodspawn (too keep with the unimaginative naming convention that gave Nurgle the Rotspawn), and, judging by the description, probably with Frenzy and Claws.

Waiting for the Schemespawn and edited by moderator then.

Two classic teams coming back for a Made to Order run next week - anyone planning on picking up the Tomb Kings or Amazons?

For anyone with an Amazon team already, are there three or four Blitzers in the team shot? And I take it the different heads are what distinguishes the Blitzers and Throwers on the Tomb Kings team, though I really wish the latter were at least holding a ball...

I think honestly this is a pretty bad faith release. Neither have a full roster, and the missing ones are the ones that define the teams (Tomb Guardians and a Blitzer) so you have to buy 2 sets to actually get the team you'll want to play. I was convinced I'd buy the Khemri until I noticed, and now I'm just disappointed

So does this hint that these teams won't see plastic releases?

It just means they have got to these two in the made to order shedule. Teams have been MtO and then done in plastic before.

And a bad faith release? They are just doing the teams as they were originally released 20 - 30 years ago. Saves a fortune vs ebay prices.

Wood Elves, Halflings and Ogres had a MTO run in 2017 and are now in plastic, so they might not see plastics in the immediate future but will get them eventually.

Main thing it suggests is that they're not in the immediate release schedule as it'd cause the fanbase to rightly moan if a plastic version came out in the near future. MTO teams in the last year have been Chaos Dwarves, Amazons and Khemri and before the Pandemic BB used to put out teams on a quarterly basis. Khorne looks to be out before the end of 2021.

If GW can get their production back into something equating normality and there isn't a 4th Covid wave (looking positive right now in the UK at least) then hopefully we get 4 releases in 2022. The remaining Teams of Legend that haven't seen MTO releases in recent times are High Elves, Norse and Vampires. If they're mixed into the 2022 schedule along with potentially more new teams (like Khorne, Snotlings, Black Orcs and Nobility) then you're probably looking at 2023+ for plastic versions of Khemri and Amazons now.
