While I doubt they'd go the actual D&D route of Hill, Stone, Fire, Frost and cloud giants I could see something themed around the mortal Realms, so Albionesque life Giants from Ghyran, flaming Aqshyian Giants wielding bright magic and so on. Hopefully we'll see some cool conversions in that vein in the coming months. They already had them in the form of the incarnate elementals from forgeworld. they could easily be repurposed into fire and realm of death giants for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on instagram check out Flynnhammer- he's posted some nice Mancrusher conversions which look great- might give you a bit of extra hobby inspiration!

sandlemad Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The 360 views make a solid case that despite the similar leg posing, the three variants really do wind up looking quite distinct in terms of overall pose. It's particularly clear with the kraken-eater vs the other two because of the twist in his torso but it's pretty noticeable where the eye is drawn. I actually like the aesthetic a lot. Hill giant isn't entirely wrong but that they're sort of lumpy, wrinkly, pot-bellied dudes with huge feet and long arms makes for a pretty distinctive and Quentin Blake-esque form unlike the musclemen you get elsewhere, and a form that's to my mind more interesting than civilised Greek titans or similar. But the price is still dreadful. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy that you can finally get your stuff soon! I checked the price again, and I think in at least Sweden they have a "reasonable price" (could be cheaper) compared to New Zeeland.

Kronos Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not sure which I dislike more, the disproportionate £120 tag on a predominantly mono-pose kit or the ludicrous price increase to £75, on two smaller predominantly mono-pose kits. Disappointing price on this release. I’ll hold out for a mega when I see it cheaper else where. Bit bummed out by this, the mega Gargant is a beautiful monster kit, and the mancrushers/ale guzzlers are still a solid kit, but there’s just not enough variety. I reckon even with just one more kit as a spellcaster/hero/ranged alternative (what ever it may be) it would have hyped me enough to see past the high prices for what really is only two kits. For those looking to just add a single Giant as a centre piece to chaos, orcs etc then I could imagine a fair amount of elation then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloth_Corfiser Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Now that a purely Monster-Army is out the time of the Wildwood Ranger has come! I wonder how they will fare against the Gargants. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 battletome ordered, but I held back on paying 120 for a set of cardboard coasters even if there was a free giant with it. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I felt a few weeks ago. How many have you ordered in the end. The Battletome is then only 15 pages less than the Lumineth one. Looking forward to all the new lore in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
