I checked back through the Northstar photos on facebook and that was were I'd seen them (show above), plus plenty of built examples so they aren't afraid to show them (and I'm sure the Gnolls will show up there as they're done)

but as you say frustrating that they don't shown them in the store..... And poor show by the other stores that sell the stuff for just grabbing a stock photo to use in their own store rather than taking some pics themselves when they realise it is just box art

**RiTides**

That's fantastic Orlando!

And yeah, I guess I'm really talking about a quick google

and their store pics, but this is really helpful - thanks again!

**Alpharius**

Plastic Gnolls?

1) Awesome!

2) You know what this means...

which will probably lead to:

**eohall**

edit: thoroughly ninja'd

**Da Boss**

Woah, plastic Gnolls?! Awesome! Will definitely get a box. How exciting!

**Nostromodamus**

LOL Alpharius

**highlord tamburlaine**

Alpharius knows us well.

Plastic gnolls are definitely a cool thing. Such an iconic bad guy race that there always seems to be a lack of sculpts for.

My only hope is that they're slightly taller than the human models they've made so far. Heck, I'll probably pick up a box just to have a few. I've always liked them too.

Really excited about this. Based on the last two plastic sets, I'm expecting great things. Its also cool that the next fantasy opfor is not the usual goblins or orcs. I don't think I've seen gnolls outside of an RPG before.

Second, if anyone has Frostgrave's ear, I just wanted to give a bit of feedback that has kept me from truly considering it - whenever people are discussing their new releases or they're showing them off, I seem to only see box art like this. Every other company on this forum shows greens, or resins, or sprue shots, or at least renders...!

Huh. I remember seeing plenty of sprue pics and assembled minis prior to the release of the original soldiers and cultists boxes. I guess you need to follow their Facebook page to get them soonest, but they did get posted here, IIRC, too.

SOLD!

I was just complaining about there not being any hard plastic gnoll kits out there at the FLGS. I wish this was out sooner than July, but I so want this.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Unless the miniatures go full Mantic hairless rat, I'm in for a box. Even then...

**streetsamurai**

Great choice. As said, gnolls are greatly underrepresented in miniatures

**Barzam**

This news totally made my day. Between this and hearing that White Dragon may indeed be making their Talos power armors in 28mm, yeah, Alpharius is totally right.

**streetsamurai**

The art look cool as hell. Hopefully the mini will match it

**Yodhrin**

No. No, brain, you will not start thinking of alternate Beastman warband rules focusing on hyena-men for a Southlands Mordheim campaign, bad brain!

**Sinful Hero**

One can always use more Gnolls. Reaper only takes you so far.

**Guildenstern**

Ahhhhhhh more minis I have to buy!!!!! argggh

**Slinky**

Very unexpected choice, but a very welcome addition to the wider miniatures range!

**Alpharius**

Will Gnolls end up being 'evil henchmen' for 'evil' characters then?

Has then been a book and/or announcement that details their use in Frostgrave that I've missed?

I don't think you have to worry about them as they come out in July, and we all know Guildenstern won't be participating in the hobby for long.*

They're the main "theme" of the Breeding Pits expansion book set to launch the same month. :-)

**Alpharius**

Are they "AI" controlled or...?

From what I understand in frost grave you would use them as men-at-arms, thiefs, ect. Yours are just gnolls instead of humans.

The plastic cultists are just alternative models for the same units the Men-At-Arms box are used to build. The cultists aren't rule wise any different. They even said this is what you do if you want to play elves, dwarfs, ect. They would not make rules specificity for other races for balance reasons.

Frost Grave is all about encouraging people to model and theme their warbands how ever you want.

**angelofvengeance**

Might nab a box for my AoS beastmen army. Mix em up with my Bestigors.

**carlos13th**

I have to admit frostgrave is a contuinal temptation for me. So far I have bought the rules but resigned myself to only use models I already own for the time begin. After a few more releases however that may change.

**migooo**

Gnolls man.. plastic gnolls ...... tis a trully golden age we live in....

**Ernster**

The gnolls can be used as opposition or to create a warband. A bestial wizard will also accompany them but that info will be released later based on another forum.

Very excited about this, they're a D&D/ classic fantasy staple and an excellent choice of kit to make.

Hopefully they keep doing interesting kits like this, some kobolds would be fantastic.

!!!! I'm very excited about this. Reaper Bones Gnolls are pretty good but multipart plastics makes running D&D with miniatures easier.
People running Mordheim can use them as counts as Beastmen to boot!

I'm hoping they do D&D style lizardmen that aren't all decked out in meso-American type jewelry and.. Troglodytes! I know I'm wishlisting but I've been trying to get someone to make cheap trogs forever!

Sahuagin/Fish people would be cool too.

Ok, I'm sold on Frostgrave. Hopefully a healthy portion of my existing fantasy stuff is applicable.

WHAAAAAAA???? For a minute I thought the Talos was the Proteus and was about to lose it.. that's still really cool though!

**Taarnak**

I hope the Gnolls come out closer to the box art than the previous releases have managed. But I'll not hold my breath...

Hope to see model shots soon.

You could always use them for Frostgrave
