Interested to see what the reception for the new faction will be

After feeling lukewarm initially, I gave come to really love their design. Both mechanically and tgematically they seem very tight and fun.
Zevannas crossover with Khador means the most exoensive model can be used in Khador which I play.

I'm not that interested. Some of their units & beasts have caught my eye, but in the most part I find the lack of a singular visual theme off putting. Also I can't justify investing in a whole new faction at the moment.

I have no interests on the wicked monsters at all.

After playing Cryx as my only faction for the last 2-3 years I promised myself that I would start a new faction in 2017. I was tossing up between Trolls and Grymkin. After seeing the Grymkin models I decided that the overall look (or lack thereof) wasn't for me and the sort of painting I would be doing would be too similar to my Cryx. As a result I'm working on Trolls.
While I like individual Grymkin models the overall faction doesn't really interest me.
None of our local players are planning to pick them up either.

I like both the aesthetic and mechanics, but I'm too heavily invested in Khador at this point. If I ever would change faction, Grymkin would be my first choice.

Same here, If I were to start a Hordes faction they would probably be top of the list, however I can't afford to splash out on a new faction at the moment

I personally like the aesthetics, but otherwise don't have much interest in them. The beasts don't interest me though I find a lot of the solos and units and the warlocks really interesting. I am already into three factions, I don't need another.

I like their mechanics and lore a lot but I'm not loving a lot of their key models like Skin & Moans, Piggybacks, and the Pumpkin-head dudes. Maybe down the line it'll turn out you can make a viable list with someone like the King or Wanderer without those models and I'll buy in a little.

Can I just admit that I hate them for the fact that they have so much in-faction synergy? I literally see them as an insult to my hordes factions. They're too "good". I know they aren't to be super over the curve, but the fact that they can work together so well annoys me. PP has shown they have the creative talent and the intellectual capability to make a compelling and synergistic faction. Why then can they not make the existing hordes factions work on that kind of level? I understand it's because it's a tiny faction compared to the model count of Legion or Cirlce. But still; they've had years and years to refine the existing factions. It feels like another example of missed opportunity and lopsided focus.
[/rant]
Also I absolutely despise the hollowmen and everything they are. I want an eyeless sight ranged infantry unit so bad, and the grymkin were the first to get it? All of my hate!

I was going to grab the all-in-one, and still might. I'm trying hard to not buy more models than I can paint/play with.
Grymkin has some really cool stuff. I like their ability to run tons of infantry that can actually compete in a jack heavy meta.
