Yeah, a fighting force wearing the icon of their faction is pretty crazy.
Depends on the faction dude. Also a big difference between all the Chaos dudes painting the same symbol on their shields/armor and them all ordering the same embossed belt buckle from the ChaosBucklesNMore store.

Ha! That is a fair point. If any faction would have matching belt buckles, it would be the realm of metal guys.
Maybe I can blame them for the Blood Warriors totally fierce and carnival parade ready head dresses...
At the very least other followers of Chaos should get to taunt them for free at least once a game for their squad outfit coordination.
When you think about it, the Chaos followers, while they looks somewhat ragged, are actually some of the most most image-conscious. They always make sure to have the right icons everywhere and probably spend a lot of time getting their look just right, trying to impress their gods. Even the nurgle guys with rusty weapons and armor and looking like slobs still make sure they have perfectly shaped icons on their armor and weapons, and sometimes shields shaped like flies. It is obvious their forges actually put a lot of work into getting a certain look.

Meet the Untamed Beasts – perhaps Warcry’s most savage warband (and believe us, they’ve got some stiff competition). Hailing from the Jagged Savannah in Ghur, these raiders have a distinctly old-school aesthetic that’s reminiscent of classic Marauders and barbarians of Warhammer’s past. If you’re looking for a warband that looks like it came straight from the pages of Slaves to Darkness, these are the guys for you!
Just as distinct as their Chamonite counterparts, the Iron Golems, the Untamed Beasts are nomadic warriors. They scorn those who indulge in fripperies like establishing permanent settlements or wearing forge-crafted armour, instead subsisting on hunting carnivorous beasts – or any unfortunates who’ve stumbled into their domain.
The Untamed Beasts have a really distinct and dynamic aesthetic that sets them apart from other Chaos models. Traditionally, the servants of the Dark Gods are trudging, resolute, ironclad creatures. Instead, each of these models is bursting with energy and dynamism. At first glance, you could well mistake the Untamed Beasts for hunting animals. Just as with the Iron Golems, the rich, dark world of Warcry has allowed our designers to shed light on new facets of Chaos, as well as giving us insight into life in the wilds of the Mortal Realms themselves.
Also, for fans of Warhammer critters like Gryph-hounds, vulcharcs and squigs, the Untamed Beasts are bringing us this awesome goat-lion thing. Maybe give petting him a miss though – unless you don’t mind losing a hand…

What’s weird is in the first picture, those two guys poses legs up to torso, it’s so similar, but the detail is enough that I don’t think they are duplicates necessarily.
But then second picture, those guys again, so similar, both right feet on rocks and leg positions. But again different boots and detailing etc..

What I’m liking is we can see shared design cues between these, and Savage Orcs.
Both infest Ghur, and of we look through the Digga Lens? I’m seeing a fallen culture that aped their persecutors, and found their way to Dark Gods as a result.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
I like the appearance of their weaponry, as hunters they would use jawbones and spines I could believe.. I like their ethestic more than the Iron Golems..
I like the Beastmistress and Lionthing the best

There's quite a bit wrong with them, sure. Some wonky proportions and quite a lot of the weapons look downright silly - seriously, what kimd of twistes spawn would even grow jaws bifurated *and* ram-rod straight like that - but swap some weapons out and I'm in love. I feel like I have quite a few of those dudes from HATE the boardgame, too
Whip lady and spear guy and goat-lion, though. Marvelous. And beautiful skin tones.
PS: I guess without matching wrestling championship belts the gods/Archaon won't notice your team when points are awarded. Gotta dress sharp.
Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

I think it's more a case of shared culture of the realm they inhabit and has nothing to do with Savage Orcs being a bad influence on them, one way or another. That's just how the inhabitants of Ghur roll. The Mortal Realms have that kind of "natural order" going on.

Agreed.
Can't really say that these guys were a reveal, since we've pretty much all seen them a few months ago. Wonder if the release rate is going to be as slow as necro?

The more I see of Warcry, the more convinced we’re getting a matching Battletome for AoS.
I’d love to field this varied aesthetic as a complete army. Especially if there’s an army construction method along the lines of 5th(possibly 6th?) Ed Warhammer Chaos.
Pick a Character. Spend whatever you want. Then pick a retinue (relatively free choice of stuff, too) of at least equal points.
Give us the feel of otherwise disparate warbands and their champions coming together to wreck face.

No. That was FW led wasn’t it.
This is still GW, I think the warbands will all come out on release day.

I’m more and more sure we won’t get a tome.
Not sure why, just think it’s not something on the cards

Yeah, as a GW proper game the comparison is Kill Team and Shadespire. Even if the other warbands are not out on day one, it's a pretty safe bet that it will be a matter of weeks rather than one gang every quarter as for Necromunda.

They won’t all come out on release day. Looks like there’ll be a starter with the 2 bands we’ve seen so far.

I missed out on the Killteam box but I won't miss in Warcry. The Iron Golems look great with a ton of character. I like the terrain. I'm not a chaos player but if the rest of the range looks as good the Iron Golems I will pick them up. Now we just need a release date.
