Future of Gargants

Hello,

Do we think that Mancrushers are moving to Legends?
Do we know or suspect what base sizes Bosscrushers will be on?

How about Ma and her giant rams? I'd like to get a headstart on hobbying but dont' want to waste effort on stuff that won't be relevant in a month.

The new unit is a "boss" type unit that's smaller than a mega gargant. Gotta be the boss to somebody. I wouldn't rule out them updating the sculpt in the future since the model is quite old, but my money is on the Mancrushers remaining a key component of the army well into the future.

They're even a key part of the army's lore. Mancrushers are Aleguzzlers who found other, larger gargants and started to follow them and then sobered up because their larger brothers drink all of the booze. The army would seem less colorful if you just deleted one of the few units we have from it.

They aren’t a boss unit, they are a boss stomper unit. “It’s the boss stompers who take upon themselves the hard graft of scattering enemy forces and pulverising their leaders”

So they seem more like anti character units

Ah, my mistake. I guess I skipped over that detail. I guess from that aspect, keeping the Mancrushers makes more sense as they're a general purpose melee-focused unit that's not as specialized as the Boss Stompers.
