Not my thing personally, but looks up to the usual high standard!

Well that buy today was smooth as a whistle. Much better than Thanquol. Fine! Was kinda prepared for an hour of F5...

Paid for e-vouchers, code not yet received

Got my book ordered at the local store, just have to stop by and pay for it tonight.

Wrathmonger flails/whips/whatever look silly with the hammer ends, but they still look a lot better than the Skullreapers, who just look worse and worse to me the more I look at them. You have the awesome Morghasts, the sweet Blightkings, the excellent (if static) Stormfiends... and then the Derp Brigade of Khorne. Oh well, guess they can't all be good. And it seems they're carrying on the tradition of armored Khorne units (in WFB or 40K) looking meh.

one really simple thing I like, GW specifies that the softback version will be available soon.

one thing that often annoys me with GW is that they fail to adequately explain what is and what isn't limited edition, what formats things will be out on etc. a simple comment like that really helps.

Heh I'm the opposite there as I think the Wrathmongers look terrible, and yeah those hammer flail things are just bad, but I'm really liking the look of the Skullreapers, just the head's and the back banner poles I'm not too thrilled with on those.

[Kirsten]

I can't make up my mind about the infantry, I would be tempted to build some of my own instead

I think they would look a lot better without the large front chest armour, it looks too big for them. I think the skullreaper's armour looks better, but I am not a fan of the heads. I prefer the wrathmonger's heads, but don't like the armour. evidently I shall have to mix them up a bit. I will definitely have to buy a box and see them in real life, see the size etc.

For me i think the individual components look pretty good, well detailed - especially like the weapons - but somehow when it all comes together it just looks "off" to me, especially the poses. I also think they'd benefit from a more grittier paintjob - GW's paintjobs always look too clean for my taste.

[Kirsten]

yeah, I definitely feel good models can be made out of the various bits. I don't like the bright red skin, I think if they were more normal flesh tones I would prefer them. possibly bits like skull crusher heads, shoulder pads etc. might help as well

The f*ck is that scorpion tail? That looks gash. Thank the gods it is separate.
