After the Chainrasp Hordes release I agree. I guess it's just hope for the best but expect the worst.

since we've got solo squigs and squig knights i'd guess we'll see a box of 10 for the former and 5 for the latter

one 'cheap' box and one 'expensive' box just like several of the recent army releases

You beat me to it!

But yes, given what happened to Chainrasp hordes earlier, I suspect that we'll be getting the lesser amount here as well.

$50 for 5 grots of any variety is more than I would pay. Shame really, I was interested.

It's funny, they still haven't figured out what to do as a way to address that. They were mentioning back in September or thereabouts that they had something "down the line" to address the Chainrasp issue.

I still think it's 10 per box, maybe with the option to build five of them as knights.

Of course, I'm in a comfortable situation to be optimistic as I don't play AoS.

What is Skragrott standing on? I hope it's a huge mount. It's probably just a giant mushroom. It looks like the back of something though. My excitement is making me delusional.

Looks to me like the edge of a cliff.

Just looks like a conveniently placed cliff rock to me.

I have no doubt you guys are right. I just like over analyzing pictures like this in the event there might be some hidden gem.

If there was a mount option, it would have been in the kit showcase of him I think.

Plus he’s out next week and we know he’s like £20 so he won’t have a mount. Also they’ve said we’ve seen everything now.

Convenient!? Do you know how long he spent scheming and orchestrating the battle at this exact spot, at this exact time, with the armies coming in from those exact angles!? It was a HUGE amount of effort so he could pose appropriately and I think he wouldn't appreciate you disregarding it out of hand.

So the Bad Moon move diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner that the player picks at the start of the game.

then starting on the 2nd turn it might move to the middle of the quadrant or might leave(I think on a 1 it leaves).

if it gets to the middle of the board (turn 3 earliest) it effects the whole board.

For a lot of people the difference between 5 or 10 in the box will probably be buying zero boxes/only one for hobby purposes, as opposed to an actual little army of them, so if GW goes cheap on us here they likely shoot themselves in the foot.

Looking at how small these mini's are in the Nightvault kit the price tag for 5 would be absolutely terrible regardless of all the options. I guess we will find out in two days.

Looks like that Necroquake is already having some far reaching results!

I'm a bit behind on Age of Sigmar, did the Necroquake influence the night gobbos?

I wasn't interested in this guy until I knew about the new GW grot stuff. He seems like an interesting basis for a Grot Boss on Spider proxy. Could probably use a weapon swap, but I think the lizard makes a fine substitute. Even could still be venomous!

Sorry but the mantic models look terrible next to the gw models. :(

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Depends on what you want from Goblins, the new over the top Comic style from GW does not appeal to everyone

If the those Squighoppers with medicore looking models are really just 5 for 50 I won't get them as it is too expensive for something I don't like and need to convert before I put them on the table.
For a Box of 10 I may get them if I can sell of 5 of them as more are looking too silly and I hate duplicates on large/dominate models

Anyone know anyone know who won the twitch game last night please?

I have to say, that art really drives home how much of a miss the actual troll models are for me - the basic concept looks great there.

How so? I love the new troll models

They have the faces of goblins though :-/

I love how the Troggoth might

The spells and artifacts are looking pretty good too. Hand Of Gork in particular.

I actively like this aspect of them. It creates a unifying theme whilst retaining the individuality of the separate units.

I like it. The troggoth eating his artefact is amazing. Hand of Gork seems fun and useful, and some interesting relics for the gobbos, unique too. Looking good so far, excited to see the warscrolls

The artwork is a rendering of the concept that is good, the models are - IMO obviously - a rendering of the concept that is not. The proportions are more extreme on the models, the details too sharp, the transitions too stark. And I get why they are, it's a result of the medium and to make them easier to get a solid tabletop paintjob on, but it just doesn't work for me - the version in the artwork is a modernised update of the charming but outdated classic Stone Trolls, it loses some of the charm but does a good job of updating the aesthetic, but the models have a toy-like/cartoonish quality to them.

Yeah that's fair, they have a stylised look to them. I quite like it personally but it's definitely not that old school gritty look. I'm sure you could get a lot of that back in there though with how you paint them, GW's ones are a little too clean for me, I'd like to see them roughed up a lot more
