Deffo up for some pump wagons! Teams are normally about £18, which is a bargain (with stockist discounts)

Well, I'm impressed. That's saying a lot these days.
The Giants are just great. I could see myself buying up 3 of them just to have every version. (Not all at once, because I'm sure they'll be ridiculously priced.). I particularly like the first one's head, but I'm a little uneasy about what appear to be horns right behind his head. Hopefully that'll be an add-on kit option.
The High Elf caster looks really cool, but will require some work. Cut off the big back moon thingy, cut off the hip "wings", and replace the bowl of ashes for a staff of some sort. You could file off the hand on the bowl and use it as an object marker, or unit filler piece.
The Dark Elves....not totally sold on these. This could very well be the weakest point of all these releases for me. The first one.....just no. The other two look decent, but the cloaks....some serious green stuff would have to happen there.
The snotlings look great! Not really much you'd have to do to them at all! Play as is! I'd probably wind up adding a few more random "spiky bits" to the wagon (seems kinda bare) but other than that, looks like a good release!

The horns behind the head look to be a trophy/trinket on his back, not actually a part of the giant itself... Will have to wait I guess lol

Will have to wait I guess lol I hope your right, and that was my first instinct too, but knowing how GW LOVES to make a Chaos version on EVERY SINGLE MONSTER they produce, it wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully it's just something like the Mountain Cow's head, and can easily be left off or removed.

Take a look at the video - they show some different angles of the giants, so you can get a better idea there.

The High and Dark Elf sorcerers look decent but like most modern gw stuff they would only fit my taste once i'd chopped off about 1/3 of the model. The giants do look great though but I might be put off once the price is revealed

I was eagerly looking forward to the giant reveal....and I was not disappointed.
There look to be a huge load of great bits and I've heard rumors that an even fancier kit for their special character/leader is coming.
I think the FW Bonegrinder giant is still a bit bigger than these but I prefer the style of these big boys.
This is a very Warhammer fantasy release and I for one am glad.
Will grab this kit at some stage.

I reread the blurbs about those new releases.
I really love the idea of an all giant army. That's something that needs to migrate over to WFB.
The description of the snotling team being awful is also awesome.

I just hope they give us a game which is something along the lines of what we are after because some of the new stuff they are putting out is nice

There's a scenario in Tamurkhan where you field 5 Giants vs an army. There's also a scenario or 2 in Monstrous Arcanum where a player fields an all monster army.
So, there's already precedent for it being a thing in the Old World.

They just need to make those books available to people who don't have them.

I wonder what random generated element/animal they will combine with lizzies then.
