Originally from Ogrestronghold, thanks to murmandamus for pictures.

Wow, those are hideous.

I love the Manboobs.

looks like my ogre army is going to be getting alot more reinforcements

I like it! Though I find it funny that they ride on the shoulders of the cat things instead of their back. Damn fatties!!!! I admist I'm a little in love with that hunter on the Stonehorn thing.

AWESOME. From Phil Kelly to the gigantic beasty kit, this is a lot of good stuff for my much maligned fatties. Being able to t-stomp everything might even be enough to keep me from throwing myself completely into playing Hordes instead of 'Hams ...

Fantastic beast models. Wonder who did those and why the SoM monsters don't look as good.

Edit: I already have several different projects for those models - a demon prince, Manticore, Thunderwold riders, some skaven action. Wow, GW will get some of my money pretty soon.

The only bad models are the Ogres riding the Kitties. The kittens have the same issue as the Thunderwolf, it looks like.

Damn, those models are....disgusting in a good way!

I'd say just from that single shot they look ten times better than the Thundersomething. At least they don't pretend to be a wolf or a cat...

Im not sure whether to laugh or feel embarrassed for them...

That's quite a scoop, reds8n.

There are 3 separate kits there - the Stonehorn and the mutated mammoth thing are the same kit, and the scrap launcher and cannon are the same kit. That would mean quite a pile of extra bits once you'd built a particular version.

I like the Stonehorn, and the scrap launcher. I'm not so sure about the others, as they're very busy and kind of shapeless, and I agree that the Rhinox cavalry beasties are a bit weedy (edit: okay, they're not Rhinoxes but something cat-like, apparently). Also, the riders don't look as though they're sitting on them properly. Still, these models represent a big expansion to the OK army, and could look quite impressive on the table. I've liked the OK plastics since they first appeared, but I sold them off some time ago because I had too many WHFB models that would never get painted. I'm kind of regretting that now.

Do want, this is deffinately going to make me dig my ogre army out again.

Stonehorn - Epic win. GW produces an original monster, which looks eerie, magical, and yet has just enough of a naturalistic look to be believable. What happened to you, GW? You used to be about the nonsense! This guy looks like a relic of another, more primal age- everything an OK monster should be! The rider does appear to have a little more pert man-boobs than normal in the 3/4 pic. But I can forgive it for the spectacular monster. After the disappointing blandness of the SoM monsters, this is a welcome sight! -A

Rhinox? Cavalry - This is unfortunately a bit more GW's style. It's not bad... but believing that the enormous rider sits behind that enormous hump on an enormous saddle and somehow never falls off... The rhinox? faces are a bit odd as well. Are they supposed to be bears? Sabercats? Oxen? Who knows? They're just a generic angrymammal. And oddly remind me of the warhounds of chaos plastics. In a not very good way. What is it with GW and enormous back humps and tiny, tiny hindquarters? - B

Cannon of the Sky Titans - This is a fun looking model. It looks cobbled together from a pile of junk but it still retains a clear and compelling silhouette. The cannon begs further examination. The gunner is a bit bland though. You can bet if I was parked behind a *giant* erm, "extension" like that, I would at least gesture and emote.- A-

Scrap Launcha - This seems to fail in all of the ways the Cannon succeeded, which is odd because they look like variations of the same kit. It just looks like a chaotic mish-mash, and not in a good way. The old Scrap Launcha looked like a giant mess as well, but because the boring old details that held it together were boring old details like wood planks, the eye had boring bits to rest in and pull all of the mad little details together. The new kit is nothing but mad little details that simultaneously call for examination and in the end I don't feel like I examine anything. I would love to see the winding mechanism that allows all the knoblars to reset their enormous catapult. Speaking of gnoblars, kits like this succeed and fail in part by how well the gnoblars support the chaos of it all. These gnoblars look like there was an attempt made to make them "wacky" but it just looks off. Particularly the on who is holding a hammer? What's going on? Why is he precariously perched on one foot without looking like any of his weight is shifted to that foot? - C-

Hunter? Beast? - This looks like a variation of the Stonehorn, but unfortunately swaps out all of the best bits and replaces them with less inspiring design. It's not bad per se but it is much less naturalistic-looking. Why does it have two sets of tusks? Why does the larger set appear to be made out of hair at the top? Did they just bolt armour to the monsters enormous earlocks in an attempt to make some kind of super-Hasidic battering ram? The hunters have a nice set of tools and gadgets and trophies as one would think apropriate and I appreciate the attempt to try and put some reins on this guy to offset bizarre riding hump physics. The man-mammaries on the driver though are really unforgivable, and I have a sneaking suspicion that if I got a closer look at either face I would be disappointed. I applaud GW trying to put some character in the ogre faces, but these guys almost look cartoony. And they can go cartoony if they want, but mixing cartoony fat dudes with OMG OGRES EAT YOUR FACE in the same model just doesn't work. - B-

WOW!

My only complaint so far is that the tiny tusks on the mount in the last pic look really superfluous and non-functional considering the beast's huge main tusks. Everything else is awesome and I will be getting at least one of each configuration (so 2 of each kit) as long as they're all plastic.

Good thing I just got a real job!

All I see is "Its in plastic and not metal".. Right there auto-win

As previously noted, the only really bad ones in the bunch are the Ogres on the Cats, but then, they are REALLY bad...

Glad for all the Ogre players out there though!

Rules for a giant cannon? Count me in! That's one more unit I can field with my pirate-themend Ogres.

Every time GW makes a new big monster kit, I wonder how long it will be til they make a squiggoth. I really like the big monster and the cannon is very cool too. Rhinoxes are okay, and I can see someone using them for Thunderwolves.

Same here!

Maybe they can have a plastic Thunderhawk fly them in...

Anyone seen pics of the yhetees? Please don't make them in finecast

I've always felt crap is crap, regardless of what it's sculpted out of. But to each their own.

Perhaps but if the quality remains the same I prefer it in plastic.

Rumor is plastic yhetees.

buckero0 wrote:Anyone seen pics of the yhetees? Please don't make them in finecast

Considering any given release has 3 plastic kits and 1-3 finecast kits, I wouldn't hold your breath unless it was a second wave release.

Can someone tell me where SKULLS got dull and HORNS became in style?

I must say all of these are very interesting but knowing GW.....get ready for those +$57 price tags

Hnnnnnnggggggghhhhhh!!!!
DA BOSS YOU DO NOT NEED AN OGRE ARMY YOU SILLY BASTARD! YOU HAVE A SQUILLION UNDEAD TO PAINT! YOU DO! AND YOU WANTED TO DO HISTORICALS AFTER THAT!


But but but but-big stompy thing! Big stompy thing in the FACE?!

Argh!

I think all the new stuff looks great, especially the big fella. And the ginormous cannon.
