You think those models are nice??!?!

They're rubbish like a fair bit of the other new BB stuff e.g. the lizardmen, khemri skels, new humans etc.

Don't know who sculpted them but it seems to me these days GW let their apprentice sculptors do the new BB stuff.

I mean that Deathroller is just tragic. It looks like it has just crash landed from the sky.

yeah, those khemri were complete crap, i bet the guy who did those wasn't even an apprentice, probably just some schmuck they found wandering around in the street or something.

Yeah, probably.

And who knows that better than you after all?

don't like any of them to be honest.. I won the new deathroller at the Bubble and swapped it for a Mino instead... I just don't think these Dawrves fit with the look of the others... shame, but there you go...

and the price is a joke..

You got ripped off

I really like the Secret Weapons. They do not fit the current Dwarf team very well, but after all, those are converted Warhammer figs anyway. So if a new Dwarf team with the more wacky style comes out (no, not the bearded Halflings they sold us as Dwarves in the 2nd Ed) ... i'm happy.

WTF?

The models look great, and the new human team will have some of the best BB minis ever produced IMHO. So which BB minis DO you like??? The amazons?

beauty is in the eye of the beholder Indi...

which is why I think you're an ugly ginger bloke...

I don't like these models at all, but I am happy some people do...

Dunno if we're talking about the same humans here but the lead ones that were released a few years ago now (round about same time as Lizzies/Norse/Amazons???) are royally pants IMO.

The plastic humans in the original 3rd edition box on the other hand, I like very much. The lead orc team and the chaos team are excellent; and the wood elf and skaven teams are pretty good too.

Some of the older star players / big guys and stuff from 2nd edition days are also very nice figures.

See, there's lots that I like

Got to agree though about Amazons. Amazon catchers are, along with the BB Krox, among the all time worst GW models I've ever seen.

If that deathroller's as big as it looks GW are going to have to release a bigger pitch, though I dread to think what that would retail for!
