We Get A Peek At Upcoming Circle Models For Hordes
November 14, 2016 by brennon
Party Foul once again gave us a sneaky peek ahead to what's on the horizon for Hordes by Privateer Press. This time the focus is on Circle Orboros and some new characters AND their book...
First up we have this look at the book which shows a whole range of characters arranged in the new 'style' for their Command Books. I think this art style generally does the job but it was nice seeing them in war-like situations too.
Following on from that we got a look at the Warpwolf known as Loki...
There had actually been a few whispers about this fellow before but I think the design of him is fantastic. With a big hook in hand and shield in the other it's nice to see a Wolf using weapons rather than just getting stuck in with tooth and claw.
Next up we have Kaya 3 who is mounted up on her own wolf.
She looks like she has a rather fluffy mount there but behind that exterior there is a savage beast. Riding on its back she does look a little bit awkward but I imagine she is ready to leap forth, or cast a spell as she gets ready to use her spear.
Last but not least we have these Thorn Gun Mages...
These folks have had a considerable upgrade in terms of their sculpting and while they might not be for Circle they sure would be a great match-up against some of their models.
What do you think of these sneaky previews?
"With a big hook in hand and shield in the other it's nice to see a Wolf using weapons rather than just getting stuck in with tooth and claw..."
The Thorn Gun Mages are Llalese resistance fighters, who are members of the Amethyst Rose Gun Mage tradition.
Loki is basically a Rackham Wolfen (or a Wrath of Kings miniature) with a reptilian tail. Not that it’s bad, or anything… let’s just acknowledge the inspiration here.
I also really like Kaya and the Gun Mages, although previous gun mages were already perfect in my book.
i will definitely be using my Templars of Hod as a stand-in for now
Those are really good.
Could not be more excited for Kaya3!
they look great, why does Loki have a rats tail?
All of the large wolf persons have that kind of tail in this faction… why ? It’s beyond me.
strange.
They also have various spiky bits poking through their skin. It’s something to do with the way the transformation is forced upon them by the Blackclads.
fluff-wise because warp
oh bugger ……this muddies the waters, as these models are great ………. trollbloods or circle as my hordes faction??? …damn
