Wouldn't be the first time they've done a model that didn't match older art in the army book/codex. Sometimes translating art to a sculpt just doesn't work and they go a different direction. Throgg doesn't look at all rushed, it simply looks like the sculptor went a different way.
Wasn't there some talk a while back that there were issues with other companies releasing figs based on the GW concept art and thus gaining the ability to sue GW once they release the actual fig? I know there are a couple Chinese figs floating around that are dead on with the previous book concept art for Throgg and Vilitch.
I am unsure as of the accuracy of these model titles, but I will give them regardless, in the hope of helping everyone out with what to name the gribblies.
The thing drawing the chaos chariot I believe is to be called a gorebeast. It seems they're going down the original names route again
The two monsters made from the same kit are apparently called, for the tentacled beasty, the Mutalith Vortex Beast, and for the Big ol' red one, you guys will love this, the Slaughterbrute. Don't that strike fear in your heart?!
These names are from an article I found on the internet. I wouldn't take them as their definite names, but they seem to fit? Website I got them from is here:
I hope it helps the discussion in some way. Personally, I like the Dragon Ogres, they're such nice sculpts, and I think their faces have resemblance to the current Shaggoth, which is a nice nod at a beautiful mini, instead of going the Ogre Kingdoms way. Terrified by how much these guys are going to cost though.
Throgg is cool, as is the Forsaken, but part of me had foolishly hoped that they'd make plastic Chosen. As is, 5 for £18 is too much.
Pretty sure we had those previously in the thread, but thanks for posting it again.

maybe they've updated the lore and art for him? I know the art he currently has is good, but he was in the end, a chaos troll with a horny hat. I assume the direction they've taken with the miniature is to make him look like a hero, not another simple animal. I personally like it.

Pretty good guess since that's what people were saying from looking at the picture in the OP.

Forsaken are a core choice. Forsaken are M6 and D3+1 A. Has it's own D6 chart. One result is ASF.
Chaos Knights now buy enscrolled weapons as an upgrade
WILL OF CHAOS is not listed beneath lords, heroes, knights etc. Only eye of the gods
Mutalith has a bound spell ranged 18’’
Seems it does a toughness test (model/unit?) and there is chances of chaos spawns being produced
Marauders did not seem to have marks
Slaughter beast is a rare choice and is a bound monster. It is bound to your lord and can have the lords WS.
Gorebeast chariot is T6 5W. high Armour save (2+?). It has KB even on Impact hits. Slower than a normal chariot
Dragon Ogres are on 50 x 75mm bases
Two book items are:
chalice of chaos
soul feeder gift
MAGIC
marked casters can choose a different lore or stick with their mark:
Tzeentch: Lore of Metal
Slaanesh: Lore of Shadow
Nurgle: Lore of Death
Sig Spell:
Tzeentch is Blue fire. 24" D6 SD6 MM.
Slaanesh is Lash of slaanesh. 24" straight line form the base in forward arc of the caster. Every model under the line receives S3 AP hit.
Nurgle Sig spell is a Template. You place breath tempalte at the base of the caster.
All models beneath are forced to test T or suffer 1 W with no AS.
Nurgle Attribute is that on a succsessful cast roll a D6. On roll of 6 the casters T an W are both increased by 1 to the end of the game.
Slaanesh Attribute is for every wound caused by a spell, roll a D6. if a 6 is rolled the caster recieves +1ws/+1A/+1I
Tzeentch Attribute is for every 6 rolled on a successful cast, that caster recieves an additional PD. But only that caster can use the additional dice.

A simpler, and probably more accurate, answer would be to say 'No, there is no mention of marauders yet.'

Why do people have so much trouble with the word, "ensorcelled"? It means enchanted, bewitched, as in they are magical weapons. You know, it's related to the word, "sorcery". Spelling can be easy when you know the meaning of words.
