Get A Glimpse At The Epic New Gargantuan For Circle Orboros!
September 12, 2016 by brennon
Thanks to Party Foul we were able to check out a few previews of what lies ahead for Privateer Press' Hordes. The first of these is a rather majestic Gargantuan for Circle Orboros. See what you think...
Now that is a huge bird with plenty of amazing detail worked into it. As far as we're aware this is actually going to be in plastic which is good considering just how big this creature is. The feather details and the pose make for a fantastic piece.
Additionally building on the love for Circle Orboros we also got a look at a Tharn Wolfrider Champion.
Some great work has gone into crafting the Wolf and the riders positioning atop its back is very natural. Well, as natural as it can be when you're riding a big wolf! The rider herself also looks great and that spear seems awfully deadly.
Trollbloods Assemble!
Last but not least we turn towards another Hordes preview in the form of Madrak Ironhide and his new model.
He has certainly had a bit of an upgrade and dropped the axe in favour of a selection of mighty spears. The shield is looking fantastic too with the runic designs carved into its surface and the talismanic rocks hanging from the bottom.
Overall I think Hordes folks have something great to look forward to over the coming weeks.
What do you think?
"The feather details and the pose make for a fantastic piece..."
That is one great looking big bird. Other do are also really nice.
That bird looks like it could make a good base for a Lord of Change conversion.
Agreed. The gargantuan looks great, the lone circle player at my flgc may well wet himself with unbridled glee when he sees the bird, let alone when he owns one.
The Wolfrider Champ and ol’Madrak look good too.
I think the wings on that bird look spectacular. No need to make excuses for plastic when you see something like that. Blows the High Elf Phoenix out of the water.
that is stunning x
Stunning mini, indeed set of minis but guargantuan is spectacular
Even by the high standards of Circle (the best looking Hordes faction IMO), this is astonishing.
AMAZING ! For once, I find myself fancying a bird…
Now that is one good looking bird of prey
These look great, particularly the Circle stuff. Those wings are just spectacular.
Privateer Press have been doing some great sculpts lately. The circle does look tempting. If they keep this up the circle may be pushing trollbloods for prefered eventual second army.
They look great love the bird Gargantuan & Ironhide may make a great Ork commander.
I have no real clue about Warmachine/Hordes but I’m yet to see a Trollbloods mini I didn’t like.
Sounds like Trollbloods is faction for you if you start WMH at some point.
I need to start watching some demos, I’m right in thinking that both systems are compatible with each other?
They’re basically the same game with only minor differences.
Cheers redben.
Wow, that bird is great. I wish though that they had a man-sized figure for scale comparison. The new Madrak makes me reconsider Trollbloods again, although I want to wait to see what they meant by hinting of an all blighted ogrun army for Legion in their Themed Forces Books teaser.
Plus, has anyone heard/read/seen anything solid as to what the new 5th Hordes faction is going to be? Speculations are running rampart on their forums, but I want to hold off on a full Hordes army, and, after seeing how slow Privateer is still at bringing the newer Warmachine factions (Retribution and Convergence) up to par with the starting four, I’m a little worried on how quickly PP will play catch-up with the Hordes counterpart.
Wow! Amazing sculpts!
I only hope there are resin/metal versions of all these. While the previews look great the plastic they are using, if the new starter boxes are any indication, will not be able to hold the level of detail present in these figures. It’s a shame that much of the time the box cover minis are not production run figs but a master set of a much higher standard. But that’s advertising for you.
That is the retail version of the mini.
By which I mean the gargantuan. The others are renders. The only way that won’t be the retail version is if they’ve digitally coloured the render, though I’m not aware of PP doing that in the past.
digging all. very nice
Probably the best “giant bird” model on the market. Only gripe is that I wish the armour was optional.
Can we get Angel Giraldez or Romain to do a full detailed painting guide on that bird? Not just in video, but full step by step guide? I play Circle and I hate painting anything with feathers.
It’s… really big. Still, a video tutorial on feathers might be in order.
Angel only paints Infinity or his own company’s models, so probably not.
I normally don’t like or fined PP miniatures that pleasing to look at but that bird is the exception to the rule in my books. The painting is nice as well but could see this painted up to look more like a tropic bird rather than a bird of pray.
Oh wow – these look great!
