Yeah, I am not feeling this Ogre Berserker. The paint scheme isn't doing it any favors, as usual with AoW, and the mohawk just doesn't seem very Ogre-like.

I don't know, I kinda like it. It'd be nice to add a Dwarf-themed Ogre Manhunted to the group.
And as usual, the paint scheme is just too washed out. I really wish they'd commission someone else to paint their advertising models.
I do, however, wish that they'd make more relevant models. (Personal wish: mounted Witch Hunter)

I would love to see some Tomb Kings style Undead from them too.

I agree, he’s trying to rip off Slayers too much, and a ‘Berserker’ Ogre doesn’t fit in well with Warhammer Ogres.

Oh, yeah. Ogre Manhunters go all over the world, studying other cultures and learning their methods. This one was totally meant for that role. Wouldn't fit any other way.

AoW have 25% off everything over Halloween (ends 1 Nov). Their range has definitely shrunk over the last few years in so far as they now primarily only sell character models rather than units (I couldn’t find the dwarf rangers or the chaos warrior units, both of which were rather good. The slayer unit is still there though. Can anyone confirm that they are now gone or am I being blind?).

...aka the Glottqueen. That's definitely based on/inspired by Otto Glott and Festus.

Avatars of War have some "Dark Elf Princesses" in the works: They haven't yet given more detail on them. It looks like maybe a multipart plastic kit - hopefully not that crappy plastic they've used in some of their kits before. They're kind of Witch-Elfy, but some have shields, and they've got a lot more armour on them. From a WFB point of view, I'm not sure what they'd really be, aside from random characters. Some might remember AoW did a Witch Elf kit a few years before GW's plastic kit came out - the AoW ones were panned; they were crap quality, and had infamous "sex doll" mouths. These look better (so far), but I'd question why they're releasing this when the market for female Dark Elves that appeal to teenage males is already well served (GW, Raging Heroes to name a couple).
