It is no stag, no moose, no wapiti not even a reindeer. It is a spawn of hell...
I want no sissy stag/elk. I want what we in Europe call elk and you in the states call Moose. A big bad 1 ton bad tempered moose that did not get laid during the season. I will try my hand on that, I will. Just give me the crapy model first so I have something to modify...

i seriously, do not see how this looks anything like the taurus model. the really only thing thats similar is the pose and the fact they have hooves
any way, just for the heck of it, i changed the head position and horns in paint, and was wondering if yall though it looked any better, plus this gets away from people saying it looks exactly like the great taurus model, which it doesnt
now he has 16 antler horn thingies ^_^

I'm sorry warmaster, I don't think there's anything to do to save it.

How bout this for a hint why it looks like a Taurus: Both of them look bull-ish.
Come to think of it I think its the Taurus that made me say "Bull" in the first place. Because it was similar to this one. It was some time since I saw it though, my friend has one in his closet.
I like the neck a lot better on your airbrushed model. And the head looks more slender. Now go sculpt it!
ps. The errata-comment was just brilliant! It made my night

Hopefully it wasn't released because it sucks so much and they had to remodel it.Evermarked wrote:I'm with TerminusEst, i would actually consider petitioning against this model being released, it's THAT bad. It puts a blot on an otherwise outstanding miniature range, and what's worse, they actually made us wait even longer to see it.

as soon as I saw it I grabed a spare horse and began converting because this is really CRAP!
I was expecting something awesome like the concept art shows

I think it is its snarling broad and stubby snout that really is the death blow to it. It is not a cervid snout. They do not wrinkle their snout and grin fiendishly. A angered cervid, be it deer or moose/elk, humpfs and will lower their head towards their target, kicking up dirt with their hooves as a threat of imidiate charge.
They do not rear up like a horse. I have yet to see a moose or roe deer rear up like a horse! That also messes it up, it should not rear up as if trying to kick with its front legs, a female might, but a bull elk would charge using his antlers. Therefore a lowered head and four hooves on the ground.
Yes, if we could try and make a unified response too GW, I am in. I could contribute my expertice as a moose/elk hunter. Lets try and do this. If we put the site behind it and write a good letter with that argues well and also suggest how things could be made better, they might at least take note.

It's really only the head I dislike. The rest of ythe model is quite good, but I'd need to remake the head to make it actually look like a stag.

I strongly doubt they would change anything for the sake of a few gamers names signed up on a mail. Heck there are even people out there who likes it :blink:
Having a peitition is nice in theory, but in practice they wont take notice since the model is already done. A petition could be started for the next edition of Great Stag however B)
But, come to think of it.. We could round up people from a lot of the other forums as well, they are bound to agree with us!
Well I´ll sign just to show how much I dislike it:

ps. Just to make it into a somewhat semi-viable option for them, the idea could be hinted that it could be a Special Charachter riding a Stag. (rules would be presented on their homepage as with the rest of ´em)

That model is seriously rubbish. I was hoping/expecting for a reindeer/moose kinda look, not a halfbreed beastman on steroids.
On second thoughts i need a new chaos daemon steed for my lord who often has beastmen in his army. Would look mighty characterful in thier list, just not the wood elf one.
The neck is ewww, and the horns arnt big enough. Dont like the angry pose either, would have prefered a magestic stationary stance, or something in the way of archeons.
Perhaps someone who can use greenstuff can show me how to make my own from other models?

Wow, that's really ugly. Personally I think the whole model is too small, too bulky, with patethic antlers that looks like they are in a very awkvard angle. And the head is all messed up too.
Does anyone know what the blade-like thing above the bull's head is?

You could do a stag/orion combo to get a centaur type wild rider noble/highborn on a stag. that could look cool, and gets around the wierd head...

It is a reindeer.... on steroids!!!
What happened to the magestic grace and power that was supposed to be a wood elf great stag... even the rider model looks so-so. What a lame headress too.
It looks like they took the high elves and beastmen and just mushed them together to make a model. A freakish elven centaur.
