Ritual Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Saw those earlier... I'm not thrilled! The vampires look like utter crap (the fact that they're armoured and wield swords doesn't help, but they're crap even if you overlook that...). The skellies are not very exciting either (though I'm very much aware of the difficulties to make skeletons look exctiting). Some of the skulls remind me of the bar-dwelling skeletons from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and that's not really the right imagery for a scary, fear-inducing army. The only thing that is exciting about these, IMO, is the cart. I like the design of the cart itself and the robed guy in the back, even though the corpses and the zombies (?) pulling it look a bit crap.

DrEvilmonki Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 They have a horn blower for a unit musician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah, but the hornblower lack both lips and lungs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2-j1 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 They are ok. I'm just not too big on the more realistic look GW seems to be embracing these days. I prefer the previous versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkydave Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I saw these on Halloween, and the pictures really don't do them justice! The skellies are far more in scale, as opposed to the current ones, which are the same size as humans, even without their flesh and skin! (although I have to agree with the horn musician, although ITS FANTASY! and if people are gonna nitpick about an animated skellies capacity to play the trombone (geddit!) then they may as well get funny about a skelly coming back to life anyway! The corpse cart is amazing(and plastic too!), and I love the characters. There are some sexier stuff that hasn't been shown still to come though! Roll on March!

orkydave Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Sorry! at a re-read, that post sounded a bit arsey, it wasn't intended that way, its just difficult sometimes to try and convey a point in writing without tone of voice to assist!

Ritual Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oh, great Dave!! Here I've been sitting for 24 minutes, fuming over what an arse you sounded like, and then it turns out you're not!! :hmpf: :vb_cheers I hope it's evident that I'm joking....

demonherald Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Saw them at GD winners day and gotta say I like em.. The skellies although never gonna float my boat as units as parts for bases etc are enough to get me nuying they actually look like they,ll fit in an empire soldier... The characters have some really nice looks to them to and will be great fun to paint... each to their own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I like the skellies, they do look a lot more skelly if you know what I mean and their weapons look pretty cool to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 btw Anders 2 of the characters don't have weapons..just their claws.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Not among these photos, right? Well, those might be interesting then... but, they would also have to be better looking minis in general than those two vampires on warseer.

DrEvilmonki Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I saw a picture from the UK GD and that had one that looked similar to the big manbat version from Bram stockers Dracula. That looked pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 yeah those pics are pretty poor really the corpse cart is a lot better in the flesh and comes with a couple of options like a whip for the rider and a sort of corse light instead of the bell.. The Man Bat is a character and his bloody big.... The skellys are a lot better some have hollow skulls and there is a hollow ribcage the ghouls are nice plastic again and other stuff in fairness they are a cracking looking army ....
