More generally though, bears, gorillas and felines all have pretty short jaws, but are more than capable of terrifying bites. Though vastly outclassed by crocodiles, aligators, and hippo's.

Which all have considerably longer jaws given the size of their head. Long-jawed Saurus win, debate over :cool:

You mean the crocodiles and such?
Sure they have comperativly long jaws, but their bite is also their only weapon. You're not going to see a crocodile or hippo punch/claw at an prey. They just bite down and that's about it. To utilize their massive jaws they basically sacrifice everything else, with short stompy legs and a low center of gravity for stability and balance while biting.

Bears, gorillas and felines however use both their jaws and their limbs for combat, and can actually get upright to fight. Which seems a bit closer to how saurus fight, even when unarmed.

Anyways, I'm fine with either design. As far as I can find a shorter snout fits a bit better with upright bipedal creatures, probably has to do with keeping balance I guess. I assume that's why they went with this for the newer models.

Cool model, but why did the glyphs have to be gibberish?! Missed a great opportunity for an Easter egg there.

Cool looking saurus, his mask is interesting didn’t think he had a face at first.

Way back in 5th edition, I attempted to translate the glyphs on one of the 5th edition kroxigors' axes. Closest I got was "Shemp" as in the Shemp of the Three Stooges.

yea but that wasn't a blatantly hovering orb of energy. It could be painted up as a gem stone, metal etc.

I think I can understand where you're coming from. Personally, the astrolith looks "unfinished" not being a complete ring of glyphs. But, I don't mind the hovering orb with energy. I think you could still paint it as a gemstone, metal, etc. Who knows, there might be options for Astrolith (but I doubt that)?

While I generally like the updated models we've seen, I'm sad to see some aesthetics disappear. I miss more touches of the prehistoric "pseudo-Aztec" style in favor of the magic-tech. But I can think of reason why GW might want to move on from that.

That would be pretty sweet. Even still, I think it would look great with the energy orb removed (for those that don't like it).

The difference between living in the jungle (Lizardmen) or a space ship (Seraphon). I think the shift reflects that.

Indeed! However, so long as a significant percentage of the player base fail in that regard, GW will continue to increase their prices.

I love how they blamed the price hike on inflation when their price increases over the last decade has outraced the rate of inflation many times over.
 
This is just becoming a yearly event at this point isn't it... bit ridiculous to increase your prizes this often, I don't think I know any other hobby that sees prizes hikes this frequently.
