ARM YOURSELF WITH WEAPONS OF MONSTROUS DESTRUCTION!

At their most desperate hour, the proud trollkin kriels set out to awaken the legendary mountain kings—ancient monsters of unimaginable size and power. Wurmwood, however, has its own designs on the slumbering beasts and plots to turn them on civilization. Meanwhile, the Skorne Empire seeks retribution against an ancient foe, and Everblight works to perfect his most terrifying dragonspawn yet.

HORDES: Gargantuans brings you the next thrilling chapter of the HORDES saga. Bulk up your game with:

• Powerful new gargantuans—giant warbeasts that tower over armies and bring all-new strategies to the table.
• New warlocks for each faction, including the first-ever warlock units.
• New units and solos to expand HORDES armies.
• New narrative fiction picking up directly after the exciting events of HORDES: Domination.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you prepare your gargantuans for combat.
• Theme Force lists for each new warlock, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces found in the HORDES world.
RELEASE YOUR FURY AND PULVERIZE THE OPPOSITION WITH YOUR GARGANTUAN POWER!

That Wold better do something useful before the Mountain King eats him.

Yes, more specifically it's an ibex

Fluff (and art) != Rules!!

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if this wasn't a joke toward the perception that the MtK is the worst Garg while the Wold is arguably the best who's name doesn't start with Stormwall.

**RiTides**

Thanks for that, Aduro!! Did it list a release date for the book (or does someone know)?

Not gonna lie, the MK is probably my favorite model from Trolls and makes me kinda wanna play em.

**AduroT**

I want to say I've heard March for the release of the book, but not sure off hand.

**Souleater**

A battle engine...warlock.....

That sounds cool!

PP said March for the book. I think it was at L&L, may have been Gencon.

It's like with robots in kids' cartoons--if it's not made of flesh and blood, you can cut loose a bit with the violence and dismemberment.

It's Lylyth on a sleigh. People are predicting she's going to suck real bad because she'll be a literal Huge target. I figure she'll get Occultation so she won't have to worry about it.

**Souleater**

Oooooohhh...so only girly 'locks get to ride ponies?

Well, I will probably buy one anyway. Desipite the ugliness of Legion's sculpts they do have some nice stuff going on - I really do like the Raptors. If the model is a really cool 'epic' evil reindeer sleigh that would work for my embryonic Santa's Little Helpers theme

**AduroT**

You know, technically, the Warlocks don't ride ponies. One rides a goat and the other is pulled by reindeer.

**Alfndrate**

I can't get access to the pics, but 3 more models/units announced.

Cataphract Incendiarii for Skorne, Midas, a Farrow Warlock for Minions, and Tempest Blazers... ATGM on top of horsies

**spiralingcadaver**

Wow, I was excited for, like, 30 seconds about finally getting ATGM cav, 'cause I love pistoliers (SP?), ATGM, light cav, funny hats, small specialist teams, and playing Kraye and Caine.

Then I saw the models-- biggest disappointment ever.

What are those poses, and what weird chubby things are those sad mannequins with back problems riding?

**Boss Salvage**

EDIT: Sorry, this is the Gargantuans thread, isn't it? Um, maybe a funny joke about those bloaty ponies being gargantuan enough?

I did think the horses looked a little weird without armor... A little too... American Civil War if you ask me.

**Surtur**

Which is kinda cool in it's own right. Get one of those and make Washington.

**Alfndrate**

The only horse that looks decently within proportions is that tan one in the corner lol...

Well, I think Civil War is fine- there are a number of Cygnar pieces with that look. The problem is that the horses look just plain weird.

Here is an illustration of a horse.

Notice some differences? 'cause I do.

**malfred**

We'll fix it once we know the name of the next set of releases

**Anung Un Rama**

I don't think the horses look that bad.

Then again, I really want Gun Mage cavalry.

**plastictrees**

If you want to see some weird ponies, take a look at Ex-Illis. These look ok. As someone who dealth with GWs "crazed meth head" elf horses I might have low standards for horse sculpts though.
Only thing I'm not happy about is that it looks like it would be a bear to replace their tri-corns with forage caps. Oh well.
Looks like they might have Blessed weapons or Arcane Assassin based on their little blurb.

I think a lot of the oddities come from their choice of poses.

Whoa, I like both of these... that Farrow is crazy-sauce!

**gunslingerpro**

Horses do look a bit out of place with all the well armored things running around.

Then again, what else could you imagine gunmages riding?

Carpets are the obvious answer...

Or storm powered bikes...

**Death By Monkeys**

Hmmm...those Tempest Blazers might be enough to get me back into Warmachine. I'm already imagining them with Kraye...very cool.

**hotsauceman1**

Those look amazing, When im done with my Tau army and getting the pathfinder books, Im going to start a warmachine force.
Also, Wouldnt Morvahna get impaled if she flew forward?
