I'm in love

I normally don't make posts about new miniatures and almost never about Warhammer Fantasy, but on the other hand it's on rare occasions that GW releases a GODDAMN DINOSAUR!!!

Well, sometimes they do actually, but I never liked them before as Trish Carden, their previous resident monster maker, had a less than stellar grasp of anatomy and a penchant for sculpting skin that appears to be rotting off the creatures body. Great for nurgly stuff perhaps, but not as good on a supposedly sleek elf dragon.


The new Carnosaur though is just the perfect warhammery version of a large therapod. Coming off as a mix of Allosaur and Baryonyx it sticks pretty close to actual realworld dino-anatomy. The head reminds me more of gorgonopsis though - meat eating mammal-like reptiles that preceeded the dinosaurs, but the combination works really well.
As you can tell I'm a bit of a nut for paleontology...

Anyway, thank you Seb Perbet for making this. 

There may well be a count-as wraithknight eldar exodite dragon knight in the not too far future...
That, or Glarrg the Brontoglorrgs bigger brother...
