I have to agree. Whilst Trollbloods always had a cartoony edge to them, they always felt more on the real side; just rowdy and wild like GW orks. These Trollbloods feel far more cartoony, which is really being pushed by the colouring style they are using.
The Kallyss Cav feel far more traditional to PP styles, even if the paintjob there is still looking cartoony.
The Trolls are my thing, but I also own Legacy Trolls AND Legacy pirates and I'm not super fond of the Dire Crab. Once upon a time they would have totally been my first or second army choice but I have a LOT of armies and not enough time to play them all.

I have to agree with you guys, they went too far with the "cute" & cartoony. Even the whelps were more grumpy like. With all that said the cannon has potential.
Well, I was looking at this thread and thinking how great it would be if the owner would start updating the front page. Clicked back a bit and realized....the owner is me....
So anyways, I am working on getting the first post updated and keeping it updated as time goes.
Honestly, most of these units would fit right along side classic trolls just fine. The range always had a lot of silly models (particularly Pygs) and a lot of diverse styles. The only thing that's a little too different for me is the Dire Troll being a crab.
Speaking of the new art directions, I'm an old Cygnar player and the new scultps also leave me cold. They're too technologically advanced, not steampunk. They look like they should be in Warcaster.
The galaxy is littered with the single-planet graveyards of civilisations which made the economically sensible decision not to explore space.

I don't feel that's as true when I've seen the models in person. The heavy NMM paint job really does them a disservice, IMO.
This is the first time in a few years that I've taken a look at Warmachine and I don't mind the look of the new stuff, particularly the Orgoth, Kallys and Shadowflame. Might have to get some as painting projects in the future. Shadowflame might look nice painted up to resemble the Metalheads from the Jak 2 and 3.
That is if I can find a store here that sells the starters with a decent discount though, 300+ aud Is a bit much.

This episode of PRIMECAST+ is short but exciting. We show off some of the latest WARMACHINE models for Mercenaries, Brineblood Marauders, and Khymaera. Then, hold onto your hats as reveals take to the skies for our first look at the Shadowflame Shard's Wyvern!
The Wyvern is really cool, and might be the first 80mm super heavy beast? Unless the trolls got one and I missed it.
I've been super happy with the MK4 models I've bought. The game is solidly on the backburner for me right now, but I'm really hoping to give it a push once Shadowflame is available.
Been playing more again and feeling like Mk4 is starting to find its footing again. The SR24 scenarios are a big improvement and model availability has greatly improved. Painting up the new Khador now and looking forward to getting some more games in.
