More elephantiasis from GW...

[Bako]

Same here - and all those bits and pieces, the birds, the little dragon cub. So cute.
Almost all of the "bigger" (not by those new size standards, of course ) kits I bought were only for the extra bits and as conversion fodder.

Quite right!

I am really tempted to get the Arachnarok, too, by the way, just for the sake of building it into a giant enemy crab, so I can recreate battles that took actually took place in the Old World ... and have a heap of awesome goblin models and little giant spiders to boot.

Like this?



I am almost done with it - when I decide whether it belongs in Swashbuckling or Fantasy, I'll post it with th rest of my Orc Pirates.

Personally, I am about 50/50 on the most recent GW releases - I would probably quit if my regular group would let me, and play other stuff - but there are some real gems in the last few releases.

Thats the crunch really isn't it. I, like I think most of us here who play GW games, really only play because thats what our gaming group plays and therefore our only way to get a regular opponent. It's a pity most of them are so locked that they can't see the possibilities outside of GW.

Very true statements, loving GWs new tomb kings stuff (feels dirty)

Don't feel dirty. It's after all just a matter of personal taste...

Ha! That is even better! Very ingenious, making it a hermit one!
I will definitely watch out for its completion.

About the Tomb Kings - somehow, those snakish buggers appeal to me (the Stalkers, not the ridden ones). Although I am still not completeley decided if the Ravenors from 40K's Tyranids would not fit the "generally snakish monster demon thingy" category better for me than these. They *are* a bit specific, after all.
And pricey, of course. Dear Lord ...

So in gaming-terms will this move sideways or what? 

Regarding the new TKs, I quite like the Stalkers and Knights (in that order), but once again the big stuff immediately set me cringing I'm afraid.  They just looks so, well, plastic and plain toyish I guess.  But as Doomhippie rightly pointed out it's all a matter of personal taste (and wealth).  Whatever floats your boat!

well,
another elephantiasis attack

I must admit I really liked the big beasts, some of them may even become useful without the ogres on top

Some of these large models look a bit, I don't know, childish, but some of them are ok.  Not really convinced with the new Vampire Counts monsters.

I know what you mean - they have a certain 'action-figure' look to them, right?
