Can someone update me, is 'hard plastic' the horrible old quasi-plastic material (I think we call restic)? I recently struggled through a Blindwalker and was reminded why I stopped buying PP things

Ouch!
That's far above what I was prepared to give. Was thinking of using it as a monster on 50x50mm base but considering that price, I assume it's far bigger anyway.
I guess the terms "colossal" and "gargantuan" should have tipped me off

Aaaand they beat GW in pricing
I am very interested to see "Una the caster" model! Would be cool to have a griffon themed army. Might be the reason to switch to 3d ed. (haven`t played enough of 2nd yet)
I might look like a party pooper, but none of the models in the first post excite me.. Some look very generic and bland, even clunky. Kallus is one of the worst, IMHO! look at those paws
Tharn Wolf Rider Champion i like a moderate amount
Make sure you guys buy A LOT of green stuff along with the hydra. Judging by the photos of parts this monster will require a lot.

Those gargossal bases are 120mm round
EDIT: NINJA'D!

The Hydra is hard plastic, shouldn't need much green stuffing And Una2 looks like:

Completely agree with you on that. One area that PP has a lot of ground to catch up on GW is how a lot of the kits assemble. The join sections are just too noticeable and need a serious amount of work with green stuff to make them disappear...

Maybe its because I'm a Fantasy player, but it reminds me of these much more than Warcraft.
That assembled Hydra pic looks like it hasn't been glued yet to me.
Shaggoth looks SO MUCH better, IMHO. PP style of minis does have some resemblence of WoW: massive oversized weapons and armour plates, "bulky" human proportions.
