A Christmas Gobbo!!

Yep, the third in the series of Red Gobbo models, the previous two of which were released in previous years. Seems to pretty much be the spiritual successor of the White Dwarf sub-in-a-box models. They're certainly fun, though I can't be bothered to follow the FOMO they generate, especially at the prices GW sell them at.

Good to see Saurus getting a Warband all to themselves, though still going for the fat-footed, short-jawed, scaly Orc Saurus aesthetic I see :(

Though the new Gor-Rok I must admit looks better than the old Finecast model... there was something about the rounded jaws and bulky armour of the old model that looked off, too much like what you'd see on a Bastiladon to fit on a predatory Saurus.

He and the Jungle Swarm are the best models by far.

In general, I think these Saurus are kind of so-so, but I don't mind the Saurus holding the spear. If he wasn't sticking out his shield quite so far, he would probably rank up well. Alternatively, I think he could make a good alternate standard bearer with a little kit bashing. I don't necessarily mind the little jungle swarm, but I wish the totem/statue had more of a "lizard" look about it.

Personally I don't really like the running posed Saurus, though it could just be the photo angle. The rest are pretty nice.

First rule of GW spending, why by one, when you can get four at just four times the cost! ;)

Even GW tends to give discounts on its bundle boxes :p
So it's probably 4 for the price of 3.5 but chances are you already have 1 warband of each box :p

Do they typically sell out? Are they big sellers?

I may be new to this hobby, but the state of FOMO that Games Workshop creates appears problematic.

Meh, it's less GW and more just modern companies in general leaning hard into FOMO and other manipulation tactics to sell more stuff. Especially game companies are leaning hard on those tactics nowadays.

And you may not want some of the warbands. The chances that you don't already have and want all four warbands is pretty damn slim.

I haven't seen any gaming companies other than GW doing it so far... any examples you've seen lately?

Sadly, they will do it until it no longer works for them.

+1

As long as it remains a financially lucrative strategy, GW will employ it. Either the consumer base pushes back against it, or they condemn themselves to it.
 
Still bringing me hopes that this means we'll have a sunblood profile once again, even if its a character we have to pretend is just saurus "sunblood". I want my saurus beatstick! I want to mow the lawn free of irritants...

...Is that a piece of hair stuck to the shield?

Also, good job GeeDubs, you gave us a photo where we can clearly see the seam between the chest and tail parts, or are you planning to tell us that that seam is actually the saurus's cloaca?
