    Awesome, I needed another Warpwolf body, and a second unit of Skinwalkers in plastic will be nice as well. Not sure if I will keep the Legion for me or split the box again, I do want to have small forces of each faction at some point.

    Oddly enough, considering its Legion which their entire faction is a bad match for our entire faction... I like our chances with this!

    Mehhhhh. I'm happy they're in plastic, but there's nothing in there except the Feral that I'd actually use in other armies. The Skinwalkers look awesome but just don't do enough. And I know Kaya is the Argus caster inasmuch as such a thing can be said to exist, and I'm glad they changed it up a bit with a regular and a Winter, but it doesn't help that the Winter Argus isn't good either. Seriously, this was a golden opportunity to put the Gorax in and they missed it.

    I for one am stoked. A second unit of skinwalkers has been something that I wanted, but couldn't justify. I'll be wanting a winter argus when it comes out...this set is full of win for me.

    I got two Circle boxes from my Adepticon swag-bag so I don't need any more P-Kayas, normal Argii, or Ferals but just knowing Skinwalkers get some love makes me happy!

    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? When I saw plastic Tharn were on the horizon, I gave up hope for plastic Skinwalkers. This is AWESOME! And almost guarantees another Skinwalker unit in the future! I am very joyed!

    Oh, and plastic Winter Argus. Nice. I thought the singles were assumed to be metal?

    On the contrary, I always assumed plastic on it.

    Glad for Plastic Skinwalkera and that alone will get me to buy it but I would have preferred Skorne or Trolls instead of LEgion for a 2-player kit.

    Yeah, I knew this. The page on the website says plastic. The Winter Argus on the other hand does not, and the assumption is that if it doesn't specify, it's metal.

    Ebay. They will be plentiful just like the MOW were.

    Plastic winter Argus seems good. I want to give them a shot with grayle. I'm also excited about the plastic skinwalkers, it does sort of open it up for some other skinwalker units in the future (I'm also stoked about plastic thorns, as the cost has been keeping me from buying them).

    All in all, it'll be another great option to get new players into the game!

    I've never been so excited for a privateer press release. Any date on the horizon?
    So I can type anything I want right here?

    I don't own a Circle Army (yet) but I don't get Argus hate. Sure, the Gorax is a great buy for 4 points, but the Argus is not bad at 4 points. The animus seem extremely useful to me.

    A normal argus can put the hurt with a combo charge. Certainly kill a shredder in one hit. Buy two more attacks if the opponents leave them too close. Speed seven with 360 vision is nothing to sneeze at. Winter argus will protect you from the Khador battle box. I'm fired up.

    I was just about to pick up a bunch of Cryx, but seeing a potential to grab a full unit of PLASTIC Skinwalkers and a plastic Feral for $50?? OMFG Cryx can wait!

    As I noted in the main forum, other than the Winter Argus, I own all of those painted pretty much right now. And two min' units of Skinwalkers, and not much a rush to get plastic ones. So while neat, all I think i actually want out fo there is the book, personally.

    Glad I don't have to worry about the currently not-painted Argus I have about for battlebox stuff, though, since we have an alternate one now.

    And stuff.

    Definitely picking this up. Was planning to supplement my collection of metal Warpwolves with some of the new plastic ones, I like the new Argus sculpt, would have picked up a Winter Argus anyways, and I don't already own Skinwalkers, so it's a win-win-win-win situation for me!

    Not sure what I'll do with the Legion, but even just using the Circle half still works out cheaper than buying plastic battlebox + 5 metal Skinwalkers, so no complaints from me.

    I own 1 min, 1 max unit of skinwalkers, I will still want this as it will give me better poses overall.

    Skinwalkers were the last unit released as min & blisters so if you want a max unit by buying blisters you get three of 1 pose and one of the other.
    I bought 2 boxes so I have a good mix for my max unit, this will give me another good max unit mix and I can pass on a min unit with leader and 2 blister pack models.

    The main problem is that you don´t really need that many Argi. One for the Animus is plenty, but you get two in the Battlebox which is at least one to many in games beyond the battlebox. Many players don´t even bother with an Argus for later games at all, despite it´s ok animus. There are simply better options.

    That being said, I guess I´ll get the Hordes starter as well. I allready have pKaya (the original sculpt though) and two Argi as well (battlebox) and I don´t need annother Warpwolf that much either, but full unit of Skinwalkers and a Winter Argus alone cost nearly as much as the box itself with the current prices, so a small rulebook AND a decent start for a Legion army in addition are a must buy for me.

    I keep buying most a unit before its discontinued. And repackaged... So now I got 4 of these in metal and they don't get restocked. Sigh.

    how would you expand this set to 35 and 50 points?
    2 sets of shifting stones + UA and a stalker?

    Since the starter is 20pts, for 35pts I'd add;
    Stalker (10)
    Shifting Stones (2)
    - Stone Keeper (1)
    Druid Wilder (2)

    Druid Wilder can either condition or hand out Lightning Strike as needed.

    Not sure on 50pts, I'd probably drop one of the Arguses and sub in a Gorax, then look for something like 'Trackers + Nuala in there for anti-infantry duty.
