Yeah I just saw those this morning too. I was pretty unimpressed and once again came away with the feeling that the beastmen were just a 'lets just get this over with and out of the way' on GW's part. The Gorghon, Cygor, & Jabberslythe are all beautifully sculpted, but completely uninspired IMO. The jabberslythe looks like something found on the Avatar planet, not some mind-shattering horror that the fluff and the rules describe. The skaven hell pit abomination is way more terrifying, as are any of the vampire count beasties. The art for the gorghon in the book depicts something with devouring mouths all over it's body, and the cygor is supposed to be covered in glyphs, but it seems like the GW people just went 'naah, lets just do something we can have as one kit with different heads and accessories'
Now that I've seen their jabberslythe, I'm really glad I went and did my own. What I may have lost in sculpting and detail I definitely feel I gained in look and originality.
I'll probably end up doing my own cygor and ghorgon too

since you brought up beastmen, i want to point out that not only are they some of the ugliest things available from GW, they also apparently suck so much that the tourney at Templecon allows them 200 extra points. yes, they suck so much they get an extra 8%...i wonder who got to do the math..."yup, if my calculations are correct, beastmen suck more than all other army books by approximately 7.82%"...."yeah, let's give them a break and just round it up to 8%, ok?" i do like the looks of the book, though!

I like the Jabberslythe. Hey, at least Beastmen got new models to go with their sucky codex... Better than my bugs can say /whinehereticcomplain
