Orboros Fights For Mighty Brennos The Elder In Hordes Preview!
February 4, 2015 by brennon
Privateer Press are continuing with the releases for Hordes in the future with a preview of the new boxed sets for the Wolves and Reeves of Orboros in plastic and the ancient Brennos the Elder who will be leading them...
"An ancient and wizened satyr grown grey and stooped by the weight of almost three centuries, Brennos the Elderhorn commands primordial magic, harnessing the eldritch natural forces of raw elemental power. For decades Brennos has been Morvahna’s most reliable sentinel. Though his youthful vigor is a fading memory, he continues to leave the bodies of those who oppose his mistress twisted and broken on the battlefield."
Kicking things off Brennos is an awesome model from the waist up although I don't really like the bottom of the robes which don't appear to flow as well as I think they should. Otherwise it's quite the cool looking sculpt and something new and interesting for Orboros!
"Drawn from settlements on the fringes of the wilderness, the Wolves of Orboros willingly offer their strength of arms to the Circle. Every Wolf is an accomplished fighter as well as a master woodsman, trained to wield a heavy cleft-bladed spear with fluid mastery. Those with the aptitude to become reeves prefer the double crossbow, with which they can find deadly angles of attack in even the densest brush."
As well as Brennos there's the addition of the new Wolves and Reeves of Orboros that are now coming out in plastic. These are new sculpts and will replace the old box towards the beginning of May. I'm a big fan of anything Orboros and even though they're not my faction I love the way they look. A big thumbs up from me for these wild men and women.
What will you be getting for Orboros?

Brennos looks rather good. Too bad that his rules are not so good. Others are also rather nice.
Aw, his rules are bad?
I’ll probably pick him up to paint anyway.
Skaven of beastman ? Who knows ?
When did PP get so unoriginal in its designs ?
Back when they made their first miniature 😉
Oh, that’s quite unfair… They used to do great dwarves, their minions were excellent at first, Scyrah is amazing, the whole steampunk thing they had was really going for them until it got old. They have their own brand image, really. No, I think it was when they started with the huge shoulder pads a while back, and stopped innovating when making warjacks. Sure, there’s good and detailed minis every now and then, and none of it is badly sculpted… and Cyriss and the Cephalyx have had some decent models… but they’re only half-factions. While they had sculpting and casting… Read more »
I think its a goat so beastmen?
seriously dislike the price of the warbeast
Hail, the Horned Rat… Oh wait, wrong game.
I was debating on adding wolves to my Orboros list as well, now I’ll hold out for the plastic kit. Much more variety is a good thing.
The pricing isn’t too bad, considering most places in my local area undercut the RRP by 10 to 15%. Fortunately you need one box and you’re good to go.
Ah sweet, this must be the awesome new Skaven model GW released last week. BoW must have mixed the posts up. I am glad the new seer is not some cartoon looking piece of cr*p but, rather, this amazing model! …HEY wait a minute
(wonderful model btw)
