    We’ll see. I’m not counting on it, but it would be great if so - a Destruction-aligned Throgg leading his uncorrupted Troll followers into battle without fear of Stupidity tests! :p

    At least, Throgg's heir… I doubt the original one is still alive. ;)

    Would at least make the made-to-order Throgg model useful, if nothing else.

    Just watched the video - they’ve spilled the beans that there will be a troll hero coming in the form of a giant cave troll, as well as Stone Trolls remaining in canon - looks like GW will be releasing plastic ones!

    That mega troll is going to be horrifically expensive, I can tell you that now, even if he does make Throgg look like a Dwarf in size comparison. The Mangler Squig model is also notably bigger, so may also be more costly.

    An interesting by-product in the first picture is the battle-in-progress pic below the Mangler Squigs that shows some ‘Sneaky Sniffers’ - essentially Squig sniffer dogs!

    That looks like a really nice model, I can't wait to see better pictures of it.

    Can't wait for the trolls, yep I also have the feeling they will be expensive. Imagining the Rockguts being about £40, the large Troll King being about £70-80
    Feels like my wishes came true about a Troll-only army, hopefully the Sourbreaths are still around. I only have the one and he will be very lonely.

    But then excited for the new Squigs

    GW decided to release some actual photos of the new minis, along with some more additions.

    What in the world are the Gobbapalooza supposed to be? I'd say new models for the shaman, but 5 different ones seems a tad overkill. But I can't think of anything that'd look like that yet still be 1 coherent unit of 5.

    Is it just me or does it look like that the club the Dankhold troggoth is wielding is the head of a dwarfen statue?

    Some truly magnificent minis here - I look forward to seeing them released!

    I reckon it’s a bit like the Genestealer Cult Broodcoven box in that it gives you all 5 heroes in one box to save having to buy them separately.

    Now that you mention it it does rather. Could Dispossessed be in the pipeline soon?

    GW continues to make the best minis on the planet.
    That's what I see as well.

    That gobbo with the moon-mask is destined for many future 40K ork forces

    I'm thinking they are like a group of minor shamans, like a sanctioned psyker unit in the imperial guard

    ah, that'd make some sense. Hadn't thought of that yet.

    That may well be the case, although I saw on one of the Warscroll cards in the previews that at least one of these heroes will be getting their own separate Warscrolls, so I’m still thinking it’s going to be in the style of the Broodcoven.
