Yeah, I just had a look at the site and they only have mounted options (plus the hunter) Maneaters would be great and would actually make a great faction for this

In AoS 1.0, with the General's Handbook, I was planning a Maneater company of 1 or 2 groups and 2 or 3 regular Ogre "recruits" - to fulfill the minimum unit requirement. Since Ruglud's Armored Orcs/Mercenary Orruks were also available, points permitting, would've included one or two units - have 60 I'd like to be able to use again.

Splitting Ogors into 4 factions at the start of AoS (2 of which only had a single option) was a tad silly of ol' GW but hopefully just like the Skaven and the Gitz book they'll all be rolled back into one.

I would even be happy if they kept Beastclaw Raiders and Gutbusters separate but allowed Firebellies and Maneaters back into one the main factions.

Well, as I missed the Kill Team box ( who'd have guessed they'd oop'd it after 3 months ) I won't let this one escape me. Like the preview models and I really like the current way of playing GW's ( specialist ) games. Quick play, easy to get a grip with the rules and enough depth to keep it a challenge. And the small miniature count means it's nugh impossible to stick with one warband/gang/team but rather collect them all...
2 years ago, who'd have thought I turned out to be a GW-fanboy  .

New battle box.
Only two new models but Gobbo knight is cool

I love this guy, I think GW nailed him.

The tree-fella though doesn't work for me, the pose is off with regards to the wings. If they want the wings out then the pose needs to be more dynamic if not then the wings need to be tucked away. Winged creatures only get the wings out to fly, stretch or for display so having wings out while just resting a foot on a rock look off. Plus, wielding a glaive with wings out is a recipe for disaster. I also think combining a buckler with a glaive is daft, the two weapons just don't make any sense going together.

Having said all that I'm fairly sure such concerns could be sorted with conversion work.

I like him, but apart from Incubi helmet he is not to interesting to me.
But I like non dynamic models better and better as I grow older. Almost always there is something awkward in overly dynamic poses..

GW really have been nailing all the AoS content this year and I'm quite enjoying being surprised by whats next.

Looking at the rider, I just realised how the new night goblin look draws a bit from the goblins in Labyrinth. 10/10 for me, shame I'll never have any use for them.

Tree guy has excellent green mechanicvm conversion potential, so I'm keen, but I totally agree about the wings. Still better than the recent shadespire warband minis for the same faction. I thought that vine-legs mini would be great, but actually it looks very unconvincing.

[AWu]

I was surprised by lack of Warcry so not all of the surprises from GW are cool

I want them to do a super-over-the-top redo of the clubbers and netters from the 90’s now!

[Lost Egg]

I can see it as two models in one...the netter flinging out the net, swirling it around to ensnare an opponent...the clubber meanwhile is jumping over the netter to bring his oversized club down on said opponent.

Or maybe someone that has been recreating nostalgia miniatures could do that... 
But I agree, I'd love to see some clubbers wielding oak trees 

[Chico]

Arhhh, i loved the old Netters and Clubbers minis though the LE ones were even better.

[Lost Egg]

I need to see a diorama of these two getting ready to attack some big beastie (typical goblin lack of sense)
