Not gonna lie. Trollkin box might make me take the plunge. If I can get it thru Miniature Market.

Not sure why you couldn't seeing as the first four are available there.

Are all these boxes 'real hard HIPs plastic' or "Privateer Press PVC restic' or "Metal" or some combination of all that or...something else?

Good question. I expect restic, but that's experience-based hypothesis only.

They're what ever the models are made of normally. So the box will have a mix of PVC and metals.

Also, I expected better of you, Alph.

So anyone knows the price tag for these boxes? are they fixed? I have lots of trollbloods already but funny enough not those models

Menoth, Skorne, and Khador have an MSRP of $135 USD, Legion is $130.

And most online discounters are selling them for just under $100

Good price! So Trollbloods for sure and maybe a Cryx one too.

Finally pictures of the Protectorate and Legion boxes too! I really love the design of all these boxes. Definitely going to pick up the Legion one:

I may pick up the Legion set.

If they do one with the Alligators I'm in big trouble...

That legion box looks like a bit of alright, from a painting perspective at least, though it does look a bit light on bodies at first glance compared to some of the other offerings... I'm not a Warmahordes aficionado by any stretch but this is probably down to the units overal 'power level' I suppose.

I'll keep an eye out for it, if there's a big enough discount available from a distributor then I may find myself starting another wargame! Tempting indeed!

That's a tough call on whether it'll happen. On the one hand, Gators have a plastic infantry unit. On the other, they're Minions and Farrow have the plastic Warbeasts.

The Legion box set looks very nice, PP are very clever not including the minis from the starter boxes. It makes so easy to just buy and add to the starters I already have for WM.

I love how PP is finally admitting that Rupert is really a Protectorate model.

It's 'light on bodies' because it has more beasts than the other boxes have beasts/war jacks. I thought that too at first but yeah. They're all 35pt lists so don't worry you aren't being short changed I think the legion one is slightly cheaper too.

Moros looks awesome. I'm assuming there's going to be an army box for Retribution, too?

Legion plays like that, lots of big beasties and little infantry. Most of their Warlocks do next to nothing for infantry so when they do take an infantry unit or two it's usually either for a tarpit or something that can clear charge lanes through infantry like the Striders in this box. The list isn't perfect, but it's unexpectedly good for this kind of army box.

Or the infantry is there for your own guys to stab and put in the pot to get free lessers.

Any chance Cyriss might get a big box?

I too desire a Cyriss box.

If there's a Cyriss box that maybe has the TEP in it I might have to start a Cyriss army.

Reivers in a single box and the sacral vault.

KALI MA!

Quick question, have PP started using HIPS yet or are they still using that awful restic?

Battle Engines are Resin. The only HIPS model we have seen so far is the upcoming Cyris battle engine. Everything else is resin, "restic" or metal.

The only thing in HIPS so far is the Convergence TEP.

Plus we have seen the Cygnar Warjack of renown (Stormclad) and the Vengence jack in styrene too.
Pretty sure all Vengence and Warjacks of renown hevies will be in new plastic, though the character versions are metal/resin (and not upgrade kits! Hurrah!) Might sneak a third chassis in there from the next book, but not heard any mutterings on that front yet.

Alegedley all sensible non oganic kits will be styrene/hips going forward , and I would hope that some older kits get converted over too where possible.

In all honestly, I hope all heavy jacks go to "real" plastic in the future, including those that already exist in metal and (sadly) PVC.

Oh, and hi, been lurking for a few years, but finally decided to register an account.

Welcome. And thanks for the info about the new kits in styrene.

I too hope for a mass transition over to styrene. I'm not purchasing any more PVC miniatures, so my WM/H spending has dropped dramatically over the last year as starting a new army is hard when all the jacks and beasts I might want are things I won't buy because of the material. Normally I start a new army every January. This year and last, I didn't and instead bought some historicals. I thought that eventually I'd be one of those people who has at least a small army of every faction, but PVC prevented it. If they switch to styrene, it's back on for sure.
