I did a quick run through on this section, but I didn't see anything specifically.

For the Fantasy summer campaign, there are some new models scheduled. Somewhat fresh from the German GW site;

They must be the new plastic black orcs. Very very nice, I can see some serious 'ard boy conversions coming on down the line with this kit.

As for the troll i'd give it an meh............but i really like the squigrider, especially the helmet falling off, a nice touch that really gives movement to the model.

I really dont like the new trolls, they look like they have no emotion or character. The old ones on the other hand, were chalked full of character. At least i dont ever want a army with trolls as a option i guess. Everything else is bang on, although im going to hate all the orc players now with even more black orcs....

Ahh, the new plastic Black Orcs.. I saw one of the GW employee were making them the other day. They are too bulky and they DONT RANK UP! but they look very cool :D

Good find.

Troll: Wow, I don't see what you mean about no character _toast_. When you look at that model, do you not see stupidity? Whoever sculpted that is a genius. He managed to sculpt Stupidity so perfectly. I am in awe. One think I do not like is the open wounds. Can't they regenerate? I think scars would be better.

Black Orcs: I really like these models, although they remind me too much of the metal ones. I am actually not suprised that they do not rank up. Have you ever tried making a unit out of the guys from the 6th ed box?

Goblin: Love him. Although the squig looks like he had his skin ripped off, and that is not just the paint job. He also looks too mean for a squig. Where are his feet?

yeh, these models wereamong those 'implied' releases, like all the new troll skulls.

the troll i like, but it doesnt look very similar to the BFSP troll or the skulls.

the black orcs look amazing and the sprues (whicharealso a thread somewhere) are awesome. they make the rest of your orcs look hardcore too, and the bitz can show up a big 'uns squad or similar.

night gobbo - very nice. being a BFSP player these night goblin cavalry will give me the optionof throwing out those pesky spider riders... not to mention the small matter of the monstrous cave squig mount implied fornight goblin bosses.

the troll looks good but, i don't like that way that they took away the emotion like the old ones that's what makes GW trolls for god's sake! and the wounds what happened there? GW really should be more careful about the model's character,

the black orcs, as expected are exactly like the metal types but with one big advantage, units are bigger to buy! looking forwards to seeing these,

the squig looks fantastic, but they should've made it less threatening and more like the goblin riding it, completely and utterly bonkers!

good selection Chaochrist looking forward to see more

The new stuff looks great i hope they do more than just that one pose for the troll, the giant squid is cool and mean looking but the rider i dont really like at all, They got a new o&g army deal with the plastic black orcs in it on the uk online store, i really look forward on getting a unit of my own.
