    I think this is one case where I'd be happy to see them unpainted just to get a good idea of the actual product.
    It's a sad fact that golem's paint jobs are consistently underwhelming.

    And it's not their fault; look at the elf king, an amazing job, but almost all the troop paint jobs are not good enough for product display. Mantic really need to either: Pay golem more to get better quality photos, or go somewhere else. There are plenty of people on the forums with the talent to do a good job.

    The three heads on the right on the Immortal Guard kit pictured here
    Ah fair enough, good spot. The rest of them are new.

    More pics!

    Photography on these is much better.

    I like the little mutated scarlet... squig-type-thing in the slave orcs. It's brilliantly demented. The slaver looks great with the whip and gladiator helm too, that's a nice sculpt.

    I had to do a double take though, at first the pink face make me think it was a goblin dressed in a bunny costume or something.
    If you play any of Mantic's games, check out my Battlescribe project for KoW and Warpath.

    If I got some, that is totally how I'd paint it!

    Once you see it...you can't unsee it!

    These pics look better - they don't look lumpy like the half-breeds did.

    I'm really impressed by the Mortar, it follows the theme set by the Katsuchan, suitably evil looking. I'll definetely pick some up at some juncture.
    As for the Slave Orcs, I'll admit to not seeing a titanic amount of difference between them and the the 'regular' Orc Ax unit (not that those models are at all bad, mind), but the slaver and the...well, 'thing' that come with them are really cool.

    Mantic have not disappointed!

    I don't think the orcs are actually any different, could be wrong though.

    I have to say mantic are making it very hard for me to resist getting some an ad army. The mortars look great and the demented squig is brilliant. If the price is right, these will have to be my summer project.

    The Mortar, Slavedriver and daemon Squig are actually good.

    I am a big fan of the mortar, and the new head and new helm conversion piece therein, but the slave orcs (bar the slaver/Alf) are nothing new. Will the slaver be made available seperately?As the whip is very good.

    I think the Slave Orcs would actually be fine if they used the base body/weapon as the vanilla orcs, but then having an alternative upgrade sprue with new shields and possibly alternate heads as well. The slave orcs have the same distinctive shield as the regular orcs, and would probably look much more unique if given shields similar in design to the Immortal Guard, moreso if also given unique heads as well (Perhaps hooded or especially scarred, or with very visible slave-ish restraints like a metal spiked collar or spiked head-cage thingy or something along those lines)

    Absolutely! Indeed, when I heard Mantic were releasing a dedicated Slave Orc unit, what you describe is what I was expecting to see, so I'll admit to being a tiny bit disappointed that it isn't the case.

    There's still time for them to do a quick metal kit for us :wink:

    Okay folks it would seem that the K word is not allowed here, lets not antagonise the management any further.

    In summary Mantic will now be producing these in plastic:-


    The ogres will also be going into production sooner than expected. Concept art for these is on the front page of the Mantic site.

    Not trying to step on toes here, but why exactly have a number of posts been removed? It may be more helpful from the user perspective to be given a reason, and a link to the relevant section of rules that have been breached. That way, people know not to do it again.

    Also if the "K" word is not to be mentioned here a large number of threads in "general Sci-fi news and rumour" need to be "looked at" too.
    Trying to convince Warseer that GW are anything less than perfect is like trying to teach a horde of zombies that lettuce is a perfectly acceptable alternative to brains.

    I feel a bit silly..... What is the 'K' word.....? The only word I can think of is Kickstarter, but I can not see how that could be banned??

    That is indeed the word. I think the issue here is that the Warseer Admins see threads discussing it as advertising. I think it's more than that but if we want to play here we have to play nice and do it on their terms.

    I tried starting a discussion about this over in The Future of Warseer subforum, but the discussion sort of fizzled out.

    Looks like a post of mine has been removed. Can you please explain why Wintermute? I'd like to know what I posted wrong (it's not happened to me before).
    It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye... and then it's just fun!
