Did you see the size of this thing? I'm loving it! Brings a sort of epicness back to warhammer...armies and their monsters...but then the cannons kind of take away from it. But still, it's an impressive model. It figures Chaos would get something to trump undead. GW loves its chaos players.

The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
He is massive but being 150mm wide makes him easily attacked by loads and loads of attacks against him. Can't wait to see the actual rules and point cost.
One thing that sticks out to me is the creature's remaining good eye.

To me it looks like it's sad, and I can't blame it. Poor thing. :'(

Steapa, is that accurate, or hyperbole?
If that's accurate, what's our main theory on beating it, then? Doom & Darkness plus screams? Khalida plus a hundred skeleton archers? Tar pit / redirect all game and just focus on killing everything else?

On one side I am repulsed by the big models they are focussing on now, and on the other I'm drawn to it. For me the horde armies with ranked infantrymen clashing against each other is the cool thing about Warhammer. But at the same time I have spent so much time painting and assembling small models that my hobbyist-perspective forces me to acknowledge that it will be nice having more big models so that I can spend more time on details and don't have to paint one gazillion Zombies.
I have more than enough infantrymen, now it's time for me to focus on Cavalry and monsters of my own.... And this guy seems like a pleasure to paint. Or a terrifying experience. Either way, I may pick up one just to have one.
That's the special, limited edition. The regular edition was considerably cheaper, less than us$70. It's gone now, though. Yes, the regular edition sold out before the limited edition.
The good thing is though that for the most part neither big monsters or large hordes is excluding the other both have strenghts and weaknesses, this is what makes it ok to me, people can the choose what they like whether that is a big hulking monster or huge units of inf. or a mix of both.! And both look very good on the table if done right.
I'm getting the book and I'll get the glottkin eventually. I'm very close to postponing my rats and making my nex endeavour a nurgle based legion of chaos army.!
I'm just sad that they haven't released any new Slaanesh for my WoC
Yeah they really could use some updates.! How's the crushers of slaanesh comming along?
If GW doesn't release what you want - build it yourself
Sounds very cool snow and frost is horribly hard to do, I have mats you can borrow/have, I gave up on the snow thing 
So you decided to do what I suggested? Glad you liked the idea!

That is very very cool.. I have spackle snow and the citadel snow if you need. The ice/tundra effect is very cool will look insane with a slaneesh army.!

Very interesting topic but to not get extremely sidetracked I created this: https://www.vampirecounts.net/threads/tundra-madness.27815/ where we can continue the talk.!
I really hope Glottkin isn't too expensive I'd like to actually field him and maybe even together with my DP..

So apparently glottkin is initiative 1.. I am having a matchup this weekend at my local GW store Nagash vs Glottkin. I'm very tempted to be really cheesy and summon up a unit of 8 sepulchural stalkers to shoot him to death in probably one turn.. (uses initiative in place of toughness)
