Ugh, those are both excellent and narsty!

A purchase for the future I think

Those a damn nasty. Love it.

We need more gribblies in general, they're a big part of the setting and in many cases not as easy to convert or proxy as random murderhobo #16

I hope we get at least some Milliasaurs, Brainleaf Vine + Zombies and ideally a Scavvie Gang sometime in the future. And of course the comedy options: Ash Clams and the evil Washclot

Cool update of the old miniatures:

Whoever did the Ripperjacks needs to give Trish some lessons on doing mouths, because these look amazing, and not an oversized canine tooth in sight!

They're gross and they're enormous and I honestly don't like them. Plus there's only two of them.

Makes me worried for what they're going to do with Millasaurs, if they do Millasaurs.

Also don't think the Beastmaster is the strongest sculpt in the world.

And I thought the little ones that came with the Beastmaster Wyrd were scary!

Looks like someone finally flayed Jar Jar Binks

(not my joke, sadly)

Ripper jacks are a fantastic re-imagining of the old models.

I like them, but they are VERY large, compared to the old ones (and to the previously available stats for them). I wonder if they are envisioning a new role for them in the gangs--moving to a space between normal beasts and brutes?

I would like to see some smaller beasties for the beastmaster, not because I don't like these, but because I like the idea of a beastmaster with a horde of gribblies and I can't imagine that fielding a flock/school/herd? of these is going to be credit-friendly.

The Beastmaster has access to Giant Rats (for the smaller gribbly option), Millisaurs and the Ripperjacks. Credit and Stat-wise, the Millisaur and Ripperjacks are both somewhere around the other dog-sized Exotic beasts (bit faster and both with abilities related to movement) so they're definitely not approaching Brute levels. The artwork for the Millisaurs has them relatively large too (maybe around shoulder-height when almost fully 'upright') which isn't a huge departure from their previous sculpts when modern scaling is factored in.

It almost seems like a repurposed 54mm Inquisitor model.

I always wished that:

1. The Beastmaster had access to more critters.
2. He could improve, and gain control over larger groups.

When we did some of our own rules, we included other things from the Outlanders bestiary. Beastmasters with Wolf Spiders were quite dangerous (used the giant spiders from OG Warhammer Quest), and eventually they could get to controlling 6 creatures.2

Not one, but two rat-buddies with the tiniest rebreather...

I think the rat-friends are my favourite part of that upgrade set.

Gloriously OTT!

House Goliath shift ever closer to being kind of viable Thunder Warrior Proxies.

The humans get a rag over their mouth but their rats can afford full gas masks.

Even in the dark twisted horror of the underhive - you look after your pets!

Now THAT'S a goliath boss! Angron would be proud. He might also make for a good base to convert a thunder warrior primarch as well. Is that a 60mm base?

Also, is his art shown on the warcom page old or released now with the mini preview? He really matched it well regardless.

The art is old, from the House of Chains book

Rats are smart!

*sigh*

I'm going to be making a Forge World order in the near future, aren't I?

There's very little these days from GW that grabs my attention like the way these Necromunda character models do.
They're just so pricey though, despite how cool they look.
Like, these Goliath characters cost as much as another box of models I could expand my gang with!

I wanted to order the dual hammer guy, but waited when they teased Lady Haera, and she's not even up for preorder, and then came the Beastmaster, and now this Goliath champion...

When will I get to actually make an order GW? C'mon...

If you're not into vehicles or refuse to buy FW then very little new GW stuff to buy. Im on that train.

Great looking miniatures...

Sure would be great to get a couple.

Looks like...2nd Edition Pre-Heresy Angron?

Thanks. I'm glad they did a good job of conveying it in the figure!

Works for me with a haircut of the metal mohawk.
