The new HUMAN team from GW

Those are actually quite solid. Between them, the ogres and the vamps, GW's teams are certainly getting much better. A little more realistic and gritty looking too!

The team box contains 16 players, so I think that you have the full roster with all the positionnal players.
In the blister, it is written that you have 3 Linemen.

WD says only three blitzers are included in the box. You get 7 linemen....and 2 Balls

Great looking models. Just need to shave back all the spikes a bit.

Yeah, they don't make WFB figures without weapons anymore. They are real players.

I agree.. they are looking much better.. But I wish they would go more for a quilted, padded and studded look instead of spiky and metal plates.

Look great but I agree on the spikes issue. Why do they have have huge shoulder spikes and fist spikes? The figs would look fine without them. I feel like getting this team and ressurecting my old human team from 2nd ed days....the Rollin Reefers.

WasnÂ´t there rumors about a new Dwarf team? Also heard about Skaven and Dark Elves.

I guess they will make more teams .. only not one per year .. hopefully one per two years or something similar ..

What do you think the chances are of GW not f***in up and getting these guys on sale for the BB in may??

GW doesn't f*** up. They can bring out this team when they want, because the magazine is mostly written 3 months before you see it.

But maybe the don't want to.

The WD I have in front of me - issue 305 - says 16 in the box. 30 quid.

I'll be getting one, and clipping down those spikes a lot.

I agree: nice figs, silly spikes.

Hopefully there won't be new "Pro Human" team roster rules to accomodate the new figs.

Very nice figs, really.

But too spiky for me...
