Hmm. I like and dont like them

The troggoths eyes are below his nose and that looks very odd

The boss looks weird too. Just an odd pose that looks like an amalgamation of older goblin sculpts

I also find that really off-putting. It doesn't even line up with the way the other troggoths look. Very odd choice.

The troggoth looks like a younger Mollog. Same size, style and colour, even have a club with smoke-mushrooms.

Like the pantomime squig, the Troggoth isn’t a real troggoth, it seems.

I like the new team, it’s a bit weaker than the previous 2 night goblin ones. But it will serve me well as unit filler/variety in my NG old world army.
Gotta say though - GW using photos of minis rather than art on new cards looks very fething cheap, uninspiring and simply ugly.
Even though I have quite fond memories of playing underworlds a few times in distant past, I’ll just keep using the minis for conversion fodder.

Seen a few people say this but I’m not sure why? Nothing seems to imply he’s not actually a Troggoth in either the lore or the model.

None of them cut an imposing figure, but luckily they’re joined by Uglug, a smaller Troggoth who dreams of bigger things, as well as Rigg and Shamm, who lead Uglug around by pretending to be his pet squig.

Can no one else see the eyes under the nose - in the mouth?

Do I have to link the 3Kobolds song again?

The eyes are roughly where they are on the other Dankhold Troggoths, just compressed onto a smaller face, and the painting underneath the eyes really dark doesn’t help. But yes, lots of people have seen it.

They're pretty much in the same place as Trugg's eyes.

And we've got the new Borgits next week:

And we've got a new warband:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/mgxduxmn/the-knives-of-the-crone-bring-aelven-guile-to-warhammer-underworlds/

Have to say, i like this rivalry they're playing up between Morathi and Krethusa

Very cool! Nice to see a hint at a wider Elven pantheon.

On the one hand, did we really need more elves instead of a proper race like dwarves?

On the other, nice to see a plot point being followed up and expanded upon following the Croneseer rocking up.

I feel sorry for other factions at times cause sometimes it feels like Morathi is the only god getting proper regular plot advance

Not blown away by them...but I do fancy them as Krethusa is an awesome model and these would be a subtle complement in a diorama.

Hard to be excited about these when Underworlds already has:

Morgwaeth's Blade-Coven

The Shadeborn

Gryselle's Arenai

The partially naked "evil but not evil" murder Elf warband thing just feels a bit overdone at this point.

But these ones have even more Tactical Rock!

But that's Morathi's thing - also GW are rotating warbands more and more so even if we have past warbands it seems they might slip out of production. Underworlds is slowly doing what GW wanted AoS to be at the start - lots of rotation.


It does highlight though how utterly tiny the actual army range is for Daughters of Khaine in that you've basically got witch aelf; witch aelf with whip and then maybe male elf with a bow.


Would be great to see their army gain a bunch of new options like mounted witch aelves; spear aelves; cheap disposable chaff unit of crossbow male aelves (with snake archers being the elite good ones).

Perhaps some heavily armoured elites; some shadow beasts

... I would probably be more excited for them if they had LESS tactical rock lol.

These ones would be so much harder to put onto square bases for Mordheim and Old World.

Gee, funny that..

Thought it was about time they put out a new set!

Not sure we needed any more Sexy Murder Elves, but they look cool.

Honestly, I'm ready for them to change alliances or may a new one. Call it Vainglory or something.

The guys look great! there is always some details I dislike with the various Dark Elf variations, but these look great all around.

Also, Im 99% sure the cloak solves a rumor engine pic, and that Kanluven was right about it beeing Dark Elf related.

Maybe I'm the weird one for noticing, but the women all have bare feet...

Is this a key design feature for Krethusa followers now?
You know, besides feathers...

eta: However, like the Kruleboys, they do not have fingernails or toenails.
Or the detail is so shallow the painter didn't catch them.

The now extinct savage orruk warband also lacked toe nails, though the rest of the model range featured them

I think ironjawz lack them as well

Who knows, maybe in addition to facial hair, (a)elves are incapable of growing toenails?

And we have Krethusa's litte band next week:

Yay! I give'em some thought...
