8th Ed. Look what the VC's get... (Jan 2012)

That chariot will probably be an either/or kit of the black coach or some new chariot. Seems that now GW always likes to make the kits have 2 options.

I like it. Gonna take a while for me to buy it though. I still haven't bought any of the new Ogre stuff.
 
Yeah, I am reallly liking most of the new line of VC's coming out soon. The Black Knights and HexWraiths look awesome.

I hear you Arli! I just started collecting some of the new Ogres myself - so far getting 1 Thundertusk/Stonehorn kit, 1 Iron Blaster and 1 box of Mournfang Cavalry.

Gah.. and with new Empire and Dwarves coming out soon, I'm gonna be broke most of the year! lol

Hello,
The Good thing about the niew VC is that there will be plenty more Etheral units, and This will be a good argument to use EotG more often:)

I just finished magnatizing my Ogres (for trays). I also have them about 80% painted (no characters yet). I have my first game with the new rules on Friday. None of the new kits for this game though.

Wow. 80% painted? Have you posted any pics of them here? I'd really like to see them! Also, I have been buying Ogre stuff from other members at Ogre Stronghold - even though most of the members are overseas for us, they are still selling their stuff (that's where I got my Mournfang and IronBlaster from!) really cheap compared over here. I got the new IronBlaster and 4 newest style leadbelchers for $40 usd shipped. I also got a box of Mournfang for $22 shipped.

Good luck on your game! I'd like to hear how it all turns out!

Boo hoo. We'll just kill it like we kill all big overpriced mount options; a nice 'Dwellers' or 'Pit' dropped on that leaves the Vampire riding it looking silly.

The only thing our monsters really need is +1 Initiative (srsly) and a price drop. They work fine the way they are. I'd buff the Engine a bit (Arcane Config is currently worthless, Burning Alignment needs to be Flaming and inflict 2D6 hits), but thats it really.
 
To be honest, I'm not a fan of the Mortis Engine/Coven Throne. It is NOT a black coach kit, the black coach is staying the same but going resin. It looks a bit too flooded with detail and not really recognisable as any kind of real unit for me, even taking into account it is fantasy. A bunch of ghosts holding up a board of wood that a character stands on? No thanks.

The only new VC release I might actually be tempted to buy is the Black Knights, even the army book cover is not very nice. But, well, everyone has their own opinion I guess.
 
The Vargheists look pretty cool though. Might make a nice change to have fast Monstrous Infantry charging up a flank, as opposed to the Varghulf just getting shot through the eye by a single cannon. The other Monstrous Ghoul unit could be cool too, if they keep Poisoned Attacks.
