And here it is. It's great seeing the Rhulics get some love again.

By the way, three of them and Gorten make 50 points even

TBH, PP would've had to try really hard to make this thing suck given the amount of support available to Mercs in general and the Rhulic casters specifically. Cool models, solid rules, I play the faction; I'm getting one. And I am going to have to try that Gorten with 3 Earthbreakers list even if I have to proxy with my Conquest and Woldwrath to do it.

It's a pity you can't quite fit 3 of them with Durgen, as 6 fully boosted AOE 4s and 6d3 POW 13s with boosted attack rolls would actually be incredibly amazing, especially as the torpedos could then leave half the board covered in rough terrain. As it is, I think two of them with Durgen will still be Amazing, but 3 of them with Gorten, while interesting, probably won't be all that great.

But... But...
Three colossals?

We're Rhulic. We aren't exactly known for our well constructed, competitive lists.

It seems a standard thing for Colossals, apart from the Kraken - possibly because you don't see many insects with nipples...

Now we have the completed Rhul Colossal complete with 360.

EDIT: Doh!, it's on the previous page. Howcome the Warstore got that image before it went up on PP's own site?

They didn't get the 360 view though, so thanks for linking it

Conquest and stormwall have them situated on the shoulders, And the Prim Axiom doesnt either.
Only other one is the Judicator, which lactates fire

Now in plastic!

Wow, bane thralls just took a huge drop in price! I love it!

Now, give me plastic bane Knights so I can create Sanctjud's 30 banez list...

C'mon PP get my Uhlans in plastic.

I agree the price is excellent! The axes look a bit thick, though not noticeably thicker than they were anyway:

OLD:


NEW:

It's too bad PP's plastic PVC is one of the worst materials that miniatures are currently cast in. It's hard to say if I dislike it or finecast more.

Yeah, Im looking at the Detail on the face for sorscha and it just does not lookgood. Hopefully the will fix their plastics

Finecast is definitely worse, because not only do you get the reduction in quality, you get a significant increase in price to go with it, whereas with these the prices apparently dropped (and in the case of the bane thralls dropped quite a bit, if I'm not mistaken).

I've worked with both and while PP's plastics aren't the best, having large chunks of models missing irks me far, far more.

Oooh, both Houseguard types are available in "plastic" now!? Awesome, I'd love to get the riflemen. I still wish they had faceplates on their helmets, but at a more reasonable cost and material, I won't feel so bad modding their helmets.

Those Old banes you're showing are the OLD OLD Banes. There was a resculpt to add that axe detail since then. I believe when they went to the Ten model metal box. They also got the resin shoulder pads at that time.

These is almost no difference between the palstics and the metals as I can tell.

Are there any details about the Houseguard Thane? I haven't heard anything about him yet.

I was going to pick a unit of BThralls up from eBay due to the cost but at that price I will be buying a box of shiny new plastic ones. Well played, PP.

I wonder if they will re-do the UA to match the 'new' style.
Fingers crossed that as they change more stuff into plastic they improve some of the sculpts (Skorne and Legion Swordsmen i am looking at you. Although not for too long, because you're both so ugly.)

Exemplifying both leadership and combat prowess, thanes are veterans of Ios’ houseguard forces. They have a remarkable capacity for rallying their forces even in the face of certain defeat, being themselves conditioned through training and experience to operate beyond fear. They are excellent swordsmen capable of cutting a swath through enemy lines into which those in their charge will eagerly follow, like a tide of unshakable halberd blades and rifle fire.

Not sure what any of it means. Weaponmaster? Fearless? Commander?

Who knows?

edit: Maybe he has Gang Fighter and grants/receive Flank from other Houseguard.

The old ones are more hunched and have the skull plate behind them. I think they look more menacing than the new ones, but that could also be the more muted palate they went with on the old ones.

I like the PP plastic fiar more than Finecast. It seems far more durable than the reinforced whipped cream GW puts out. It's a pity, because a lot of the Finecast stuff could be really good if in a different material.

What's this? A drop in price for plastic Bane Thralls? * Puts on glasses an looks at PP site*. Looks like my newly forming Cryx army is going to get bigger.

Yeah, not a fan of PP's plastic, but it's still much more preferable than Finecast. Too bad I already have 30+ Bane Thralls...

Bane Cav!

Must...have........*drools on glass*

HAhAHa, we don't get derpy looking horses.

In your face other factions (who get derpy looking horses)!

Lies! all the horses that Iron Fang Ulhan's use look good, it's the stupid greylord's mutant pigs (stolen from Cygnar I might add) that look off!

Damn, those are awesome looking.

Cryx is awesome looking.

Damn.

This is too true

Can't see much in the pics, but the horses have to be better than the other recent sculpts which have been used for... almost everything.

Flamebringers!

SPD 9
DEF: Daughters - 1
ARM: Daughters + 3
MAT: Daughters

Point cost: 6/10

2 x Sword attacks, same P+S as Daughters, Weaponmaster, Critical Grievous Wounds
1 x Mount attack P+S 10

Pathfinder
Side Step. .

They sound ok--but as someone that plays against Menoth regularly, they don't scare me anymore than Errants.

I guess under Harby they could be amusing--buff them up, Crusaders call them then have them charge something and sidestep back under her feat. +2/+2 doesn't really push their stats too crazy either--giving up that one DEF probably isn't worth that low armor.

I was hoping they would get acrobatic horse chargers--for the giggles.
