And... I just happen to be creating a post-apoc overgrown grasslands table! Holy crap that's some great timing! Gonna need quite a few of these...

**Binabik15**

And I want to build some Ent-like Blight Kings. Consider me very interested.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

PVC for the PVC god, but those vines look good

I'm really interested in what the bracken looks like

(not so much the skulls, there are enough of those around in metal or resin for them to grab me unless they're really cheap, or have a decent mix of species?)

**Tannhauser42**

Honestly, there is a distinctive lack of chocolate cake basing materials in the market. GW could clean up if they released that instead of just more skulls.

**CragHack**

340 skulls :O I wonder, what's the price...If it's anywhere 15 euros AND THEM SKULLS ACTUALLY LOOK REALISTIC/GOOD - greenstuffworld and secretweapon can throw away their molds

**Galas**

If they add Orc, Tau, Eldar and Tyranid skulls... that could be lovely.

**BrookM**

May need to pick up some of those, the skulls in particular make for a good filler material for some types of building.

**Nostromodamus**

*Desire to build a skull throne intensifies*

**unmercifulconker**

Well, this WD is amazing.

Yeah, that would be nice.

**Loopstah**

If the skulls are cheap enough I will base all my Khorne models in piles of them just because...

**Dryaktylus**

As parts of my Adeptus Mechanicus and Genestealer Cult are mining skulls (I mean... it's an important resource in the Imperium) such a plastic sprue would come in handy.

What a fantastic army idea. Love it!

Some of the base kits already come with an assortment of different race skulls. I'd say in a large pack like this, the odds are high that they'll have a variety

**insaniak**

This vines are pretty awesome.

Yes, Mr Narrator, as a matter of fact I would like to know more.

Hopefully it will have a little more like the occasional rib cage, etc.

I think this might be one time when GW's offering beats the competition in price. Secret Weapon already do a Sack 'o Skulls but at $15us for 50, you'd need 7 sets for $105us to match that 340 skulls.

They did too with their bases. 25€ for 60 32mm bases (That ok, aren't ultra detailed resin bases but are very nice for the price).

**privateer4hire**

Buddy and me have been playing Frostgrave. In a month or two, they're coming out with a tropical sequel-ish game set in island environments. We'd been talking about the price of aquarium plants and how they were expensive and kind of screwy visually for a lot of things.

Wondering how this might work for scenery in a jungle. Too much surface area to cover for a reasonable price?

**NinthMusketeer**

Will totally be buying those vines. They will go perfectly on the trees I sculpt out of the sprue.

**Azazelx**

Yeah, the skulls pack has me interested. If it has multiple races' skulls, then I'm very likely down for at least one set. (depending on price)

**Geifer**

I always wanted 340 skulls. Finally a number I can work with.

Bracken could be good, too.

**Yodhrin**

Kudos to GW, this is exactly the kind of thing they should be using their manufacturing advantages to produce. Even at GW prices they can easily provide stuff at better value than resin, not to mention in quantities and at a level of consistency smaller outfits can't match.

I only hope they don't end up as Direct Only While Stocks Last never to be seen again.

The skull set certainly looks amazing, l'll post a pic in a sec from the WD, there seems to be a

load of different ones.

The Slaughterpriest shown is standing on a big Tyranid? skull which wouldn't make sense since its AoS so maybe its a big beast, surrounded by a mound of different skulls including horned and what is either an ogor or orruk skull.

GW usually shows Tyranid skulls retaining their carapace armor, so I don't see anything overtly Tyranid in the Slaughterpriest pic.
