Wave 8 in Game TradeMagazine in their Packaging

[Tai-Pan]

I don't know, those seem kinda long for Primadon spines. I'm going to guess Vipers or some unnamed species. But the skulls on the end aren't viper, so I don't know for sure. And you're right about the rider's heads

Yeah, I just wanna see the packaging. Okay?

It's either Marro heads on Viper Spines or Primadon Heads on Viper Spines, in my opinion. Either way, the Marro Cavalry are sick little buggers.

Either that or mini versions of the new hive lord... (Thats right, I'm implying that the heads on spines are living weapons that are very much alive and would slither away if dropped...)

[Zealot]

I'm leaning towards Minnion's theory, not that they're miniature Hive lords but that they are a marro living weapon of some sort, just like the Stingers' rifles are alive and can suck energy out of their hosts to increase attack power.

The color sceme leads me to think the weapons are marro based as opposed to actual bones, but the character bio will surely tell.

[ThrasherDarkrai]

More good theories, everyone! I think I agree with Zealot's theory, now that I think of it.

[Metaknight]

I think they are from other dead Marro-like creatures, maybe not dead. I wonder why the things they are riding aren't boney and fleshy?

Nice pic Bunjee! I found myself staring at it for 10 minutes straight observing every little detail in the sculpts - from the "land-shark's" pectorals to the way the middle one is captured in mid-stride.

And to add to the ongoing speculation I would say the spines belong to Primadon's. If you look at the skull belonging to the middle you'll notice better than the rest that it matches a gorilla's skull almost perfectly. As for the elongated spine - who knows? Maybe it was a lack of detail or it looks longer because Primadon stand hunched over as opposed to upright.

My money's on a detatchable conjoined twin kind of thing.

Currently the only packaging shots we have are in the first post of this thread collected from the magazine being discussed. Since that is the point of the thread, I figured you meant you wanted a better shot of the "real" figs.
