You pay for each multiple of the minimum size. So for a min 10 unit if you take 20, you pay min x 2.

Seriously what's going on with that artwork? The perspectives seem all over the place with the way the Carnosaur has been fitted in! As said previously it's missing the important leg that connects it to the area of ground it is supposed to be standing on/leaping off!! The Carnosaurs head seems to be quite near to the Savage Orc so measuring off that the Saurus Oldblood is tiny...find it quite distracting!

The Oldblood model does look small for what it can do...
The missing leg is just  and the arrows in the background look really big, like spears.

I'll be honest with you, I only glanced at them and thought they were spears that they had thrown off the cliff above!  that makes it even worse now

So I assume to know what the Stonehorn is, but are the Mournfang their cav?
My local store has a lot of ogre kingdom stuff still available, but if they go from $40 to $65 for the same box I will be getting them today.

These are repacks, with the Mournfang Cavalry probably going to four models per box. All of the models can be seen on the web store.

I wouldn't. Historically, repacks of existing models have gotten an increase in the number of models at a net discount from buying that same amount pre-repack.
For example, Black Orcs were $41.25 for 10 but the repack is $53 for 15. Which is a net discount of $8.88.
EDIT: I'm aware the Stonehorn got an increase but I'd wager they're just rounding it off for the sake of simplicity and they don't drop prices (repacks are the loophole around that so they still tell investors they don't drop prices).

Looking forward to this. Might hold off the generals handbook until the Ogors come about as I imagine they will be quite a cheap 1000 point army. I am looking forward to the new colour schemes the most though, as Frostlords I hope some have icy skin or are covered in blue tattoos and

We've had people using Nagash and Archon this whole time.
Nagash in 2k sucks ass. I took him down with Judicator Shooting.
Hope the next scenario is 3k and I may actually break out a stardrake.

Ha, I completely forgot about Settra's fate. I wonder if he's gonna come back at some point of hopefully a new anti Nagash Tomb King army.

It was about time something would happen. Overall the other factions stood no chance save chaos. I hope this tips the balance a bit.
People on facebook are getting hyped for the slaanesh plot to advance slightly.

I seriously doubt they'd put in Slaanesh as part of this, I think they have plans for him/her in the future. We'll probably see a campaign based around Slaanesh and Elf releases at some point down the road (not a rumor, just thinking aloud).

I think this will be the case. Honestly going by the comments I think GW is not "happy"? with how much order is dominating I think. Since I think they want the outcome to be more spicy so they can churn out more war stories and books.

That's my dream outcome, death barely has any fluff at the moment the recent we got was the realm gate book. If we could tell the store manager which city we want to log our points I think death would of stood more of a chance.

TBF it doesn't seem like a lot of players are entirely happy either. If GW steps in to create some tension where Order doesn't just dominate the field I suspect it would improve things overall. Naturally some people will cry about GW rigging the results but really it's kinda the opposite if they do something like that.

I'd say they're still rigging it. They're just doing it positively if that makes sense.

What is interesting is that if this was order versus everyone else, every area would be extremely close. I wonder if they will try to take it in this direction to make the end of the campaign exciting.
