He. I already have it. I plan on getting the metal, old sculpt of the blitzer at some time for variety, because every dire with the same pose is bad-looking.

**sing your life**

I would convert a Blitzer from the metal Mauler and the slugger from the plastic dire troll kit, since the metal Blitzer miniatures has weird proportions, meanwhile the plastic just looks stupid.

**Hybrid Son Of Oxayotl**

The metal blitzer look awesome imho. Though I have only seen picture, never the actual mini.

It's the look of absolute joy on the little pyg's face that says "I'm riding on the back of a dire troll, firing a gun that's twice as large as I am - **** my life is awesome!".

Rumours are at the moment that the Cyriss Battle Engine (The Transwhatever something projector) is currently being tested as PPs first model done using a new plastic on sprues. The exact details are hazy, only mentioned by a couple of people on various threads (don't know where they got their info from), but I'd be interested to see if that's the path the go down.

Personally, the PVC stuff hasn't bothered me much so far, but I might just be lucky (or have low standards ).

Wow, that would be great!

I haven't had too many issues with PVC with PP. I think it works ok for the jacks. Metal jacks weren't always the easiest models to put together, and my case weighed a metric ton with all my Menoth in. The only units I've put together in PVC are the Menoth knights, which were really annoying, but I remember them being equally annoying in metal so I think it was pretty much a lose-lose situation.

The pose is great, but It looks to me like the torso and legs are quite skinny compared to the arms, which kind of ruins the model.

**Wehrkind**

Well, to be fair to the blitzer, all the dire trolls have ridonkulous upper bodies with tiny little waists and legs. PPs design preferences seem to be pretty solidly in the "everything above the floating rib MUST be scaled up 300% from reasonable!" range.

I was going to say "You Must Be New Here/Welcome to Privateer Press!"

Maybe it's the female of the species

Seriously though, The blitzer has obviously just been missing leg day

And now I have to show you one of the greatest images in the history of everything:

Been hearing that PP staff have supposedly confirmed the new Circle Warlock will only be allowed to have Wolds in his Battlegroup, but gets Synergy on his spell list. Could be sweet. It's probably the Druid artwork we saw during the league.

Also, MAXIMUS!

**RoninXiC**

Not as sweet as the artwork but I'll get him for sure

**highlord tamburlaine**

Wasn't the artwork for Maximus just him chillin' with his sword resting? This is much more dynamic.

**RoninXiC**

Dynamic is not always better.

A simple yet menacing pose can be briliant as well.

**AduroT**

Concept art is almost always chilling.

**Barzam**

Is that a warthog gladiator? I might need this.

EVERY PROMISE HAS ITS PRICE

As titanic battles are fought across western Immoren, the fires of a war more ancient and terrible than any of those conducted by mortals are being stoked to world-consuming fury. The leaders of the United Kriels fight to ensure their survival by calling on both old and new allies, including the recently awakened mountain kings. Aloof from the struggles of the other factions, Xerxis leads an army in a risky gambit amid the larger plans of Supreme Archdomina Makeda, positioning the skorne to subjugate Ios. Meanwhile, events already set in motion by Krueger the Stormlord threaten to scar the face of Caen itself as he works toward his ultimate goal: the destruction of the dragon Everblight. Ancient beings advance toward an apocalyptic end game with no regard for the innocents caught in their path, and only time will tell if great heroes will find a way to forestall this doom.

HORDES: Exigence brings you the next thrilling chapter of the HORDES saga. Hold nothing back in your fight for survival with:

• New warlocks, including new epic versions.
• Three new character lesser warlocks who bring even more furious support to your army.
• New units and solos to expand HORDES armies with new strategic possibilities.
• New narrative fiction picking up directly after the harrowing events of HORDES: Gargantuans.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you prepare your forces for battle.
• Theme Force lists for each new warcaster, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces found in the HORDES world.

AWAKEN YOUR FURY AND HOLD NOTHING BACK IN THE WAR FOR SURVIVAL!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Just reading the blurb makes Hordes sound way more dire than Warmachine.
Nevermind the Cephalyx, Skorne incursions, or the Kriels upsetting the whole ecosystem as the Mountain Kings come trolling- Krueger will probably find a way to end the world all by himself!
I'd love to see the fiction reach some sort of conclusion that would totally change how some of the factions played, but that would be a pretty big step for all involved.

Looking forward to handicapable 4 legged Xerxis!

**Laughing Man**

Hordes actually is more dire, amusingly. It's especially fun when you realise that Krueger made Blightergast actually start moving from his perpetual sentry post in the Wyrmwalls, and a certain Cygnaran army is bringing a supercharged athanc right to his doorstep.

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

I just keep reminding myself that my spending moratorium (self imposed) is up in two weeks or so....

That Epic Borka shall be mine... as well as a War-Wagon for my E-Grim shooty-list.

**Uriels_Flame**

Just another reason I'm glad I play trolls!

And another reason I'm trying to get Farrow!

**gunslingerpro**

Surtur, you missed the best one!

This… makes me want to play Gatormen! It is awesome!
Any information on how she plays?

Nothing I know of. I assume she'll have some undead abilities without stepping on the toes of the Witch Doctor (tough/undead) or Maelock (resurrection, ghostly).

I'm thinking perhaps soul collection (gathering spirits in her description) along with some curses/beast death manipulation. Perhaps in a similar vein to Midas.

And people complain about Gw's sculpts.....

This looks like a toy for a 5 year old

**Some_Call_Me_Tim?**

What if it was sculpted and made by an Australian company? Would you like it then?

~Tim?

**motyak**

That circle warlock....fine. I'll buy into circle. Are you happy PP? ARE YOU HAPPY?

Most assuredly.

Interested to see what this guy's back story is. But that model is seriously unreal.

**highlord tamburlaine**

You know all those rocks on the circle warlock will be metal. Solid pieces too, none of that hollow stuff. With tiny contact points.

Then to make matters more fun they should make the caster resin.

It's a great model visually, I just worry about how it will get put together. I still remember trying to build my Terminus....

More gators for me too though!
