I'm actually not a big fan of the Carnosaur, I just don't like it's face, too piggish. I honestly think the old Carnosaur is better. If you blow that up to a bigger size, it'd be better, imo.

Other than that, the other models look really good. Another good-looking release for Fantasy, which is great to see. It's sad that they didn't redo the Cold One Cavalry though, they're in serious need of a new kit.

O god no... I must finish my high elf army! I MUST STAY FOCUSED! I must burn my computer now, so I don't have to look at the awesomeness anymore!

I have not read this entire thread, but is there a reason the Troglodon doesn't have eyes? I can't see any on the model?

As for Eldar Exodites......that would be pretty cool!

i would assume, from the name, that it is a cave dwelling dino...
no need for eyes in the dark, but those feelers would do the trick instead...
EDIT: i just read the design article in WD for the Troglodon, and it is indeed a blind cave dweller...

i just downloaded the sample of the new Army Book...
man, it looks good...
the art is sick!!!
release date is Aug. 3rd...

cheers

Yeah, you'd think they would finally release a plastic krox kit at this point, or a resin Tehenehuin.

They only offer stuff in plastic or resin or metal. They offered Krox in resin a while ago. While you might not like resin, they're unlikely to release everything in multi-format. They haven't that I've seen yet. At least not the same sculpts.

Has anyone else noticed that they seem to have shunted the eyes further forward on the Saurus characters that come with the Carnosaur. Looked weird at first, but I really kind of like it.

Great models, I am think I am going to have to start WHFB and lizardmen. Damn you GW, damn youuuuuu!!!!

So, how is High Magic going to work with the Lizardmen? Both Hand of Glory and Walk Between Worlds seem much better for them than for High Elves, for example.

How stupid is GW please? Who is going to buy a "1 click deal" for 1300€? Just wow.

Especially when the total price is the exact same thing as buying each item individually. There's no incentive for anyone to make that purchase.

GW has to be the only retailer in the world that doesn't understand the concept of a bulk purchase discount.

Actually, I just took the time to go through based on their description, not based on the picture, and the cost is HIGHER than what they claim you get. Based on the listed models, the American cost should ring in at 1592.25. They are charging 1601.25. Now, I realize the picture could be the correct version, and the price may be correct for that, but going by the models listed, they are charging MORE for a 1-click bundle. Don't believe me, check for yourself. Again, going by the numbers listed in the description, not the picture.

All I'm going to say is Becalming Cogitation + Drain Magic.

Enjoy your magic phase. You aren't getting one.

I'm assuming that Becalming Cogitation isn't going to be around in the 7th edition incarnation in the new book, because (as you say) that'd be silly.

I am really looking forward to the new codex, The new bastilidon looks great and I definitely want one, I wish they gave some kind of hint what the version with the ark does, but it looks like a great creature to add to my lists.

Any idea what slot it will take up or any idea points wise what it will run?

I am hoping some stuff gets a bit cheaper, like Chakax because I love the model but he is not nearly worth his current points.

I do not know if it was noticed earlier or not, but apparently the Troglodon is actually blind.

There are no eyes at all.
What looked at first to be 'antlers' on the front are seemingly feelers/antennae similar to those on a catfish.

Becalming was used in the WD battle so yea...

The preview pages from WD put it in rare.

Not a fan of the new carnosaur.

I am sure the battle report listed the Bastiladons as special. I also though the Troglodon would be a Lord or hero but is a rare.

Absoloutely love the carnosaur kit, the SC variant in particular is just menacing.

Awesome, if temple guard stay as Special then I will definitely be using one, it will bring something to my lists that they are currently lacking. Have there been any hints as to what the ark might do?

ThouShallNotHeal wrote:Not a fan of the new carnosaur.

Same here, also not a fan of the new carnosaur price at $85($11 more than a land raider) it is not something that I will probably want to add to my lists.

IIRC it's over 100$ here.

That is even worse, at $60(here) the Bastiladon is not cheap but looks amazing and I think would make a great addition to my army(and makes me want to get the book just to see what it does).

The carnosaur at it's price point just doesn't seem like something I really want bad enough.

Thankfully, Bitzbarn delivers here so we CAN get the discount. But at a 3+ week wait.

Ouch, that's a long time to wait, at least it will give you time to decide what build you want it to be. I was happy that at least you can turn the spare parts into other models so there is at least some added value from that, though it still isn't cheap.

One thing is for certain, you'll need to have some painting skills to do these models justice

I can say for certain, I will not

Me too

$1600, book to use the models not included!

Yeah, I wonder how many people bought it.

Went to gamesday yesterday met Mr Vetock (really cool dude BTW) saw the Lizardmen book. Saurus are the same but gained PF, Templars went down in points by the cost of a Slave, Skinks stay the same from what i saw and the slann goes up by 12 and a half slaves. Becalming just let's you reroll your first failed dispel attempt IIRC. Those are the things that stood out to me. Overall from what i saw looked to be a solid release, he told me he had written the book a year and a half ago and Robin Cruddance helped him with the design. He's worked on it and play tested it in that time.

I'm going to have to see a built carnosaur in person before I can bring myself to plunk down the money for something that (relatively) expensive.

I know my kids want me to get one, but once again we have a model that suffers from the "giant monster on one leg syndrome." Those don't do well with my enthusiastic kids. Stability is a big concern for me.

Thanks for passing this on it is appreciated!

Having looked in the back of the BRB, what is "PF"?
