The Frost King & More Come To Hordes In Devastation
August 16, 2015 by brennon
Privateer Press have shown off some of the new models coming to Hordes in the wake of Devastation. One of the big focal points is for the Trollbloods with The Frost King. There's also a nice smattering of different releases for other factions too...
Trollbloods
Kicking things off we have the Frost King who is roaring at the top of his voice. Those ice spikes coming out of its back would put Jack Frost to shame and once again this cements how bad ass the Trollbloods are as a faction.
Keeping up the awesomeness there is Hoarluk Doomshaper summoning up some powerful magic from the earth to aid in battle. I love all the runic sigils and bright blues that you get with the standard Trollblood paint scheme.
Overall you have plenty to look forward to when it comes to Trollbloods.
Legion & Skorne
Legion of Everblight will be taking to the field of battle with a variety of different weapon choices which include Nyss Swordsmen and Archers. While they continue to run with a lot of duplicate sculpts once again the units are looking good...
In the heat of the desert the Praetorian Ferox look like some good hunting beasts. I'm still not won over by the look of the Skorne troops but the animal mounts look neat and the armour designs do look good too.
Are these two factions that you'd be interested in picking up or are you going to stick with the likes of Trollbloods when the expansion hits?
Let me know in the comments!

The legion and skorne stuff is just repacks. The troll stuff though, I am super exited for. I have been playing trolls for last few months and doomshaper and the glacier king look awesome.
Don’t know about the skorne cavalry, but you’re wrong about the Legion. Both units are resculpts, and 100% better looking than the originals!
He’s not as good as the Mountain King. He’s still very, very good but the Mountain King set the bar so high! Hordes goes from strength to strength as far as great models goes.
Frost King looks so cool that I would say it’s the coolest mini I have seen in the last couple of weeks
Sorry but the FROST king has to be… cool! 😉
The Skorne mounts make me think they are the PP equivalent of LotR warg riders – got that ferocious feral feel.
It’s great to see Trollbloods getting new stuff and my faction Legion as well as Skorne getting plastics.
They all look great. seeing Legion get re sculpts that are worth buying is a good thing. I would have gotten the swordsmen much sooner if only the sculpts were appealing. Now I can finally do that.
I don’t know fully why I don’t like them, but most cavalry in this game I don’t like. The Ferox especially. I think it has to do with the the sculpts being limited to that base size. They look rather small for the rider. The Trollbloods have the same problem now that I think about them.
Happy days. Can’t wait for the Glacier King to come out. It will be my first Gargantuan. Also love that there is a new Hoarlock. That said….I don’t like the model.
