    I imagine they would if they're cheap enough in points... the boars would have a similar profile to the Greenskin boars, with the Tusker Charge rule to give them a +1 Strength and AP bonus on turns they charge. The bears will probably be the strongest in combat, and the cats and dogs will likely be faster-moving but more fragile. I'd like to think they'd have the Skirmishers rule to give them a small modicum of defence against shooting attacks, and if so it'll allow them to serve as annoying flankers and chaff at small sizes. I'll be interested to see how large the units can be made too to see if they can be taken in numbers enough to be a threat to rank-and-file infantry and cavalry. Each handler's group of animals will be a separate unit I think... and with 3D printing and companies like Reaper around, it'd be easy enough to buy extra of particular animals if you wanted to make bigger packs of one specific animal.

    On a completely unrelated note, a few weeks prior to this announcement, @Mrs. NIGHTBRINGER sent over some home baked banana bread and cupcakes to the big-wigs at GW HQ. It's probably completely unrelated though. :rolleyes:

    IDK... that might be the most emaciated bear I've ever seen.

    Those models blend extremely poorly with GW's plastic Wood Elves. They're extremely dated.

    First cookies and now banana-bread and cupcakes... does the Sith Order have a cookery club or something (with the Canadian branch meeting in your house)? :p

    Not to mention I do wonder how they survived the trip across the Atlantic :D

    The scions of Athel Loren no doubt have a potion to remedy that...

    Absolutely!

    The Beasty Boys are back in town! Looking forward to picking a good few of these up. Will definitely be getting the Arcane Journal, the Gor box and at least one Minotaur box.

    Also, intriguing that the Preyton and the Herdstone aren't part of this wave, so looks like the Arcane Journal-specific models will be coming out later on. And then Grand Cathay... and in all probability Kislev after that. I was chatting to one of the chaps in my local GW today and he was pretty confident that both Cathay and Kislev would arrive this year. After that... who knows?

    But they've certainly picked up speed on the TOW releases across this year which I've been pretty chuffed about.
