Hmm. The picture isn't bad, but I am not sure I like the angle. I would like to see it more in profile. The tail looks a bit odd, too.
It definitely looks heavier and more powerful then the 3E version. The 3E forelegs look more like arms than legs. The 4E one definitely has 4 legs, and it will trample you down, instead of slapping you in the face.

Tsk. There's always one hater

The old Tarrasque looked incredibly goofy. I mean, it was giant and brown and had a silly shell-thing. This one is big, green, spiky, has lots of teeth, and is already in the process of ripping a city apart by walking through it. That's bad-ass!

Amazingly, it's also always the same person!

How much should we bet that the Tarrasque still can't fly.
And I guess it also has no ranged attack unless it now shoots lazerz from its horns.

I could see various ways it could deal with flying.

Major Reach Attacks: Tail Swipe or Lung (I could see it rearing on its hind-legs and snapping at flying PCs).

Dust Storms or Wind Buffets: The tail is long enough it could create strong wind or dust storms.

Roar: Cause the PCs to become disoriented and crash.

Fully aware that I may be alone in this, but I consider the Tarrasque to be a huge waste of space which would be much better derived given to other things.

I pretty much agree, although that 4E illustration of the beast is actually (and for the first time ever) really neat.

The tarrasque would be cooler if they stop to give it vegetarian eyes. Place those eyes on the front of the beats, not on its side !

(I will try to photoshop it to explain what I mean)

Actually... Sorta makes sense, a beast like that it would be best to be able to see as much of your surroundings as possible. Since your so large, a threat for any angle is that more likely, and anything in your path will probably be crushed anyways.

Well, the vegetarian eyes do make some sense. Since the tarrasque isn't really hunting for prey and thus in need of predator eyes, the tarrasque just eats anything. Trees, rocks, buildings, ....

So she doesn't need eyes placed for better judginge distance between herself and possible prey, but instead is better of with a good panoramic view.

The problem with the big T is not that she's a killer, she wouldn't bother much with fleeing living prey as there is so much lifeless matter for her to consume. The problem with big T is that you want to save the lifeless matter because it's your city, the citizens themselves could easily flee

Or it now has RADIATION BREATH!!!

Edit: Or giant bugs that leap off it!

The thing I find most amusing about the 3E Tarrasque is that it was messed up when coloured. The line drawing (here ) clearly has the thing with beady little predator's eyes, and looking rather mean.
After colouring, it gets eyes in its ears and looks about as threatening as a giant beagle.

Exactly what I thought. The art is done well enough (even if it does harken a bit to Arnie Sweekel's own toad-monster-thing from the MMV), but the lower body lacks definition.

And since we're posting tarrasques:

ConvenIentLy, they tend to be the same people.

Anyway, the new pic of the tarrasque... it's not brilliant, I think, but it certainly is better than the 3e version (which always was kind of anticlimactic to me).
