I quite like the werewolves, sorry skinwolves, but £8 for two frogs really Fw? If wasn't for the comic relief factor that comes with them I wouldn't expect you to sell any of those at all.

[Gooner]

The skin wolves would be great as Crypt Horrors for those that dont want to have the stregio theme in their army.

[AlphariusOmegon20]

I kind of like them both. The frogs are useful for the Hex scroll.

The Skin Wolves would work for the IA11 40K SC Bran Redmaw.

[Confessor_Atol]

Love it! The frogs are great, and the anatomy of the skin wolves seems really well done. I might have just preferred werewolves though.

Funny, the rules seem sort of limp......45 pts for a slightly faster ogre with 5+ regen? Frenzy on ld 7? These look more like cool "counts as models".

[SunTzu]

What I really find intriguing about the Skin Wolves is whether the Marks of Chaos they can be given are a sign of things to come. Mark of Nurgle => Poisoned Attacks? Mark of Slaanesh => ASF? Interesting. (They're already Frenzied so Mark of Khorne had to do something different anyway, and with Regeneration 5+, the usual effects of the Mark of Tzeentch wouldn't have been of much benefit).

In terms of models... they're OK, but the Fimir look much better. I can see how a great paintjob (covered in gore where they burst through the skin) could make these guys look good, but they're still a bit gangly for my tastes. Oh... and frogs. Yeah, frogs.

[pointyteeth]

Really like the skin wolves, and the rules are decent as well. The changes to the marks are a nice touch as well.

[Hragnar Goreskull]

These new skin wolves are just perfect for my plans for an all marauder tribe army I have been working on, the idea of these wulfen cursed like beasts, along with my Chaos Mammoths ,hounds,etc.....Just fits really well for me.
I LOVE the three eyed frog!!!!! Screams father Nurgle all the way!!!

[Commissar Goddard]

Loving the Skin Wolves, The Frogs made me laugh, anyone notice one of them is based on the Plastic Chaos sorcerer, broken staff on base.

Like the models for the wolves, the rules are very underwhelming though. 45 points for 2 S4 attacks?

Technically 3 due to Frenzy... but then it just means you get the same number of attacks as every other Monstrous Infantry, only with all the downsides of Frenzy. Plus you can lose the third attack if you get beaten in combat. So yeah.

[Edit] Forge World seem to like giving their big-based stuff only two attacks. Same for K'daai Fireborn and Bull Centaurs. Makes it really hard to generate much damage output from them compared to models on the same-sized bases, or even smaller.

[Tae]

The were...er skin wolves are nice models but like everyone else has said the rules are underwhelming - especially if you compare them to the new Vargheists. Worse in almost every way bar their save and more expensive. No ta.

Also, people moaning about the price of the frogs - have you seen GW's prices recently? I'm surprised they weren't £10 or more tbh. And yes I appreciate this is expensive, but it shouldn't come as a shock to any of us.

[Sandlemad]

The skin wolves are interesting enough but the frogs!
The one on the left is a transformed FW Great Unclean One (note the split open spine) and the one on the right is the plastic chaos sorceror. These are perhaps the most darling little models any branch of GW has created. Yes, they're completely unecessary, basically just collectors' models, which explains the price. I am forced to conclude that anyone who doesn't like these is lacking a soul.

[Lord Shadowheart]

Lol, love those frogs, might have to pick some of those up

[Damien 1427]

I have no idea why, but I'm just amused by those frogs. We can but hope Forge World release a load more.

[mbh1127]

Love the skin wolves and frogs are always welcome in warhammer.

But could somone tell FW to hire a painter or two for the fantasy stuff. It would help a lot I think.

[Satan]

I love those new Slann models and I will purchase them at my earliest convenience.

[shelfunit.]

Not bad models at all - like the frogs - shame about the hopper's price tag though. Keep 'em coming Warhammer Forge.

[Anarnaxe]

Werewolves.......in Warhammer fantasy.......surely thou jest?!

Seriously, about time. And proper werewolves (sorry, Skinwolves) at that, not someone that looked like they had hypertrichosis.

[Erazmus_M_Wattle]

Loving the Skin Wolves, The Frogs made me laugh, anyone notice one of them is based on the Plastic Chaos sorcerer, broken staff on base.

I noticed that. It's pretty cool. I quite like them. The price isn't too bad. It's probably the closest you'll get for an impulse buy from Forgeworld.
