Wow! They look like they are going to have a little of everything. All these new giant monsters and nothing block line of sight, now I think I know why the rule changed, you are going to need all the turns you can get to shoot those sphinxes down.

So apparently, when your Army Book gets redone, you get a large monster. I do not even know who will be next in the queue. For fun what do you think would be the "Large" monster for each army.
Bretonnians - ??
Wood Elves - Giant Treekin
High Elves - Dragon? or Magic Elemental
Lizardmen - Even bigger Dinosaur of doom
Skaven - So big Skrye thing of Doom
Chaos - Spawn of Doom, even bigger Shagottoth of Doom
Beast - Minotaur of doom, Shagottoth of Doom
Dwarves - ???
Dark Elves - Mother Hydra of Doom
Empire - Steam Train of Doom

Any Ideas?

Bretonnians - Lake monster or Dragon Whelp
Wood Elves - Green Man or Mother Earth or Earth Elemental
High Elves - Great Repeater Bow
Lizardmen - Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent) or Son of Tzunki (Giant Panther)
Skaven - World Borer (Giant Drill) or Skyre Zepplin (actually, Skaven have plenty of big stuff. We used to be special)
Chaos - Shrine to Chaos God
Beast - Grendel (Mud Monster)
Dwarves - Stone Golem or Tank (why do they have a helicopter but not a tank? flying dwarfs does not even make sense)
Dark Elves - Cave Abomination or Blood Deamon
Empire - AT-ST (hehe)

For dwarves, a steam tank that does not look like poo would be awesome.

Zip it you, your whole army is centerpeice models! Though a Rhinox chariot pulled by 2 Rhinoxes would be sick.

Think bigger, a fortress, pulled by two forgeworld war mammoths.

From GW:
When playing a game of Warhammer, most of us will agree that huge monsters stomping on enemy units is very enjoyable. Well, except for those of you with armies that don't have monsters, but then you will probably have big guns instead (and as we all know, big guns and huge monsters are both equally cool). There are now two new monsters in the Warhammer world - the Necrosphinx and the Khemrian Warsphinx,
So everyone gets a big monster, or a big gun!

How about a big monster carrying a big gun, with the ogres manning the gun, kinda like the lead belcher you have with the gnoblar lighting it?

Ohh, so you're saying the ogres will be so tiny compared to the monster that they will sit on the monster's shoulders and light his canon bundles for him! I love it!

It would be titan sized and cost 500 dollars from forgeworld only.

Are you kidding, obviously it would not have 10's across the stat line. Just because you make an ogre bigger, does not mean his BS gets to go up also!!!! C'mon man! Think realistically here. ;)
