Now the preorders are up, including a 360 of the Maw Krusha and a 'How To Paint video.

Really wish the painting video showed the scheme from the 360 view (with the pale colored Maw Krusha) - it's so much better
Definitely getting this and removing the orc on top - will use it as a jabberwocky or some other big beast in Kings of War. By far my favorite monster model that GW has made in a really long time!

The Shaman is pretty cool, the chunky-Wyvern(without the rider) is nice but I've no use for it, and I don't collect Snakebite Klan Orks for 40K so the rest is out too.
We'll see what the discounted price of the Shaman ends up being in the UK.

I really like the Max Crusha, I'm a bit confused how the armoured forearms and wings work, are there any art work pictures of it in flight? or in a different pose?
Some really tremendous models. The new shaman would make a great apprentice for the gnarled old shaman with staff. The nuOrk muscles are bigger and more rounded compared to the sinew-y ones from before, but they show good anatomy and flowing poses. Really nice job, by the same guy who did the Slaughterpriests?
But price. Urgh. A mob of those or a kidney. Easy decision. 34€ for a single genreal in plastic. Half as much as a whole Start Collecting box. Jesus, GW, Jesus.
Edit: and say what you will about the colour choices, but those are some good paintjobs compared to the current Eavy Metal standard.

Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

The Megaboss on Maw-krusha looks like an absolutely amazing model, but $180 AUD for it, the prices are getting more and more ridiculous. Debating right now on getting a "Start Collecting!" box to get into 40K, or get this bad boy. (Start Collecting! boxes are $140 AUD over here)

Unfortunately not. You can see on the red model that the boar's mouth is closed, whereas on the yellow models the mouth is open. If you look at the sprues on the site, you'll see that most of the model pieces have open boar mouths, so they'll look pretty much the same no matter what you paint them.
For ref I think the red painted one is just the boss's hog without the faceplate. The faceplate is actually on the sprue as a separate addition, so I guess it's optional on the single closed-mouth model.

This week, White Dwarf have a lingering look at Gordrakk, Fist of Gork – a great green tide washes over the mortal realms as the Ironjawz make their presence felt. There’s a Megaboss on Maw-krusha, Orruk Brutes and Orruk Goregruntas, an Orruk Megaboss and a Weirdnob Shaman for you to have a look at. Oh, and an Orruk Warchanter. And the Orruk ‘Ardboys, and more!
There’s also the usual look at the rest of the week’s releases (there’s a Battletome. It’s Orruksome!), a Paint Splatter featuring Brutes and Gore-gruntas, Hat of the Week (no, really) and the usual comment, opinion and reaction from Da Week In White Dwarf.
The key takeaway here is this:
Hat of the Week (no, really)
I really hope "Hat of the Week" becomes a regular thing. It's wacky, it's fun, and Nagash always wins.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, Lady Atia has posted some photos of alternate color schemes:
Blue Orruk
Black Orruk
Iron Orruk
Orange Orruk(no joke--you can see this paint scheme in the preview pages for the Painting Ironjawz and it's Troll Slayer Orange!)--with bonus peg leg!
Bone Orruk

I have to echo those that have said that thus far, bar the prices, this has been the best AOS release. I will certainly pick up a Maw Crusher in the future, hopefully as part of the possibly inevitable £100/120 future big box release with savings off rrp.
