Meh.

Experimental rules here (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/r/rogueidol.pdf).

Really not impressed, I don't think you would need fantastic craft skills to make something better out of foam or putty.

Has April the first come a little early?

Revising my opinion a bit, it looks much better unpainted and iwth the wooden mask as per this pic:

For sixty five pounds I would have preferred a ginormous squig, but I'm not so dissapointed with this one now. Still wouldn't buy it, whereas I would buy a squig. Squigs are *adorable*.

I wasn't sure at first, but kind of grows on you. I always thought that the Dwarfs should get some kind of magic stone golem thing, but alas the Orcs beat them to it. Unpainted it looks like it could have come out the toilet.

Lay off the curries, seriously.:p

I'm gonna have to disagree and say I really like it. It looks really good, the paintjob is great as well

Not a bad figure and very much an orcified earth elemental in appearance. I look at it and it reminds me of the rock monster from the movie Galaxy Quest!

Seconded. I still think it looks bobbins.

good thing is, it would be really easy to make one from scratch!

I'd prefer it to have some more funky rules, but I guess it is just a big lump of agressive rock with a stat line to match.

Now that would make a great Detritus the troll from the City Watch!!!

I really can't decide whether I like the model or not. You never know though, it might grow on me.

I think it's quite a fun model but consider that this is £10 cheaper :confused:

I'd rather have another Carmine Dragon.:) I think this shows the DIY vs BIY divide rather neatly, some people think it looks great and want it, others think it looks nice but would rather make it, others think they could make nicer for a lot less.

I like it, but not sixty five pounds of like.
