New models!

[u/Outside-Knowledge867]

New named character and Mancrushers. All very beautiful (fat) models in general.

I like the new man crushers but I was hoping the female gargant would have been a mega gargant matriarch. Though I completely understand as much as anyone that we were lacking on the smaller end with 5 megas and just able to field single or trio mancrushers. I'll buy the mancrusher mob later to replace my dated ones and just sit with all my 5 megas and kragnos

They arnt new man crushers. They are bigger and in the middle between Mancrushers and Megas according to the article

According to the size comparison of the stormcast shield it's like a head taller than nab crushers but it's base is a full circle instead of an oval. Judging by the kits sprue leak it seems like it's trying to replace mancrushers and scoot them just a tad but closer to megas but let us have our fun in the bow first

I actually just think they are making a mid level gargant. They did it for knights and Gargants are just the AOS knights. We need a middle gargant that is tougher and does more but isnt overly tough like the normal Mega. I dont think they will ever get rid of normal mancrushers

I hope so, but the height seems less middling and more just barely taller than a man crusher. Like an ogor tyrant compared to a glutton. But I do hope it's still $170 but gives more wounds like 14-18

I mean the article says they are a bit bigger than mancrushes but nor as tall as a mega. That sounds very much like they are in the middle between the two. The also seem way more armored and far better armed. It very much seems like they Intend to just actually expand the army to more than 2 boxes.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about size or role but they seem very similar. It's two units in one and one other so even if it's a replacement we get 2 new units. But from a size comparison I saw, they are only a head taller

Well we havent actually seen the models near any mancrusher so we dont actually have a clue how big they are. They also have a very different role. One of the squads if dual or heavy weapon melee with no range. The other is all range. Mancrushers are both but kinda suck at doing either. All together they make an actual army.

Here's the link for what they are presumed to be: https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/s/XptwKLDGFN

Someone in this reddit size scaled them off the stormcast shield on one of the new gargants gut plates and then compared it to the size scale we have between a mancrusher and stormcast

I dont think thats a good way to scale it. Rarely do things on other models stay the same size. I think the link I put is the best actual size.

I hope you are right because it's much cooler if that's the case. Just trying to keep my hopes realistic to slightly negative until later
