What if you want 9?

Warstomper, 9 mancrusher in bounty hunter, all throw rocks.

Iii save 75e and don't have useless 10th

And some want just 3. 4 is pretty useless and not all want 6.

If you buy 9, you might buy 12 as well.

GW was genious on applying the hot-dog buns conundrum to Mancrushers.

I just realised that one of the skeletons from the underworlds warband is pretty huge and mounted on 40mm base. Maybe we will see new unit of elite bodyguards fielded in units of 3-5 released alongside new graveguard? That would make a full deathrattle army a bit more interesting.

I'm glad they have more diverse skeleton sizes, it reflects the living of the setting much better. Though it does still irk me that the skeletons bear equipment the living never seem to have had...

Think of it this way, weapons get salvaged from battlefields, all that would be left would be the junk and the stuff that nobody wanted (and even that would be scavenged eventually)

so undead with weapons will have the stuff the locals that won battle that first killed them didn't grab on the first pass, the swords that were the wrong shape, spears that were the wrong length etc for the local fighting style

It's not the STATE of the gear, it's being completely different in style and construction. There is no evidence anywhere of living cultures using equipment resembling that of the skeletons and considering they aren't THAT old...

It is just a minor fluff quibble ultimately, but I'd like to see human spear + shield again, and human heavy armor + shield. But I suppose we'd all like to see more humans than just Empire.

They're all ancient, long-dead warriors from cultures that no longer exist amng the living. Zombies are the fresh ones that should wield contemporary weapons.

Oh it isn't really worth a debate, the original comment was partly in humor anyway. Poking fun at both my own nitpicking and the practical nature of GW not having unlimited resources.

My explanation for bat wing helmets and skull shields was always something along the lines of:

"Those warriors bear the iconography of the ancient vampire dynasties that their served in life, before their masters revealed their true form".

But more likely GW just pays homage to goofy designs of oldschool warhammer, and thats ok.

back in the old World, it was simply that the Carsteins always had those symbols and the Vampires just kept them as they overtook the family
hence all the dead had the gear that made Vampires from Sylvania look like they looked

(while the standard raised dead hat no symbols or gear at all)

I liked the line in End Times that with Grave Guard equivalents their equipment was actually reshaped by the necromantic energies running through them--being that they have considerably more investment than fodder units.

Interesting, those can be VERY useful when used at the right place in the right time.

First thing that came into my head was suplexing someone into range of another giant for a tag-team beating. All that's missing is the steel chair.

So looks like lumineth had lots of feel bad rules(like flying foxes unkillable for melee armies and tagging 1" reach units into melee safe from attacks) removed while lots of previously weak units gettting buffed. I like the sound of that.

Gargant book also makes them less "i auto control objective" though pity mancrushers still seem weak.

I'll just put it out there, but since it appears that the little imp that rides on King Brodd's shoulder horn is a separate piece and not attached, if anyone doesn't end up using it, let me know and I'll buy it.

I find that one pretty weird in general. I'm hoping it's just the angle, but the pose looks like it's imminently going to fall off the branch.

The King Brodd artwork in latest Warhammer Community article is pretty awesome, as is the lore about how not every Destruction faction is a fan of Kragnos.
