Thoughts, anyone?

[Dr. Von Richten]

IMO, these are looking quite well done, but at the same time they don't appeal to me in the slightest, as they have a kind of 'trying to hard' style that I don't like.

[Heff]

Khorne flake team?

[axia]

I want to paint them! I'm sure that the humans will be true barbarians and the deamons will be less "hard" as they seem in the pics!

[DeToX86]

I was about a minute away from being the first backer. I think they look very well done. might use them as Khorne in league and Norse at tournaments.

[Rolex]

I've pledged for several reasons:
-Deamons of "Ares" are by large my favourite BB team;
-I only own 1 team of them (out of 135 BB teams);
-I've been shown the concept art of this guys some time ago, and some of the input I gave, made it in the final models.

I also think that the "fighters" are just perfect as CP maraunders.
And the Demons and Beast would make wonderful Beastmen and Minotaur in a Kho...Ares theamed Chaos team.

I'm on the fence on this one but weighting on the "no".

On one hand, I'm happy that someone decided to risk making a K-team and I sure as hell would like to have one in my collection but, on the other hand, I am certainly not a fan of 3D-sculpted minis. Much less when we have "exactly the same model/construct in half-dozen different poses" passing for different models - at least with the Sukubus team (which also had Khorne compatible positional models) there was some genuine variety.

I'll probably just wait for the Willy Chaos Dwarfs in a couple of months instead...

[Gaixo]

Maybe if they were plastic or resin. I'm trying to steer away from metal in the future. Agree with connexion that there could have been more variety in the models.

[DixonCider]

think that will be my new norse team, come on Christmas $

[Darkson]

No interest in a Quorn team, but I like the style of the lineman figures, like Dixon to use as Norse, but like connexion I'm put off by the lack of variation in the figures, so I'll pass.

[Darkson]

I was going to suggest mixing up the styling on the linemen a little, but saw this comment by Christian on the page:

The barbarians and demons of the main team have been already 3d printed. In order to avoid delays so we won’t be able to make changes on them.

So the hunt for Norse linemen goes on.

[Wifflebat]

I can see what you guys mean about the variation, but I'm just glad we're not seeing 'variations' like handstands, high kicks, and squat thrusts! I'd prefer some different outfitting/shapes on the characters, but I'd rather have uniform poses than ones that just look silly to me.

[mzukerman]

I think they're cool, but 90E is a little bit beyond my spending budget right now.

[Axtklinge]

Not a bad looking team, far from it.

The humans do have potential, IMO it's just a pity they come with a mask (bare faces would be a lot more versatile).
As for de daemons, I wonder why their look had to be such a copy+past from GW's "B-letters".
(I'm sure there's plenty of 'horned daemons' references out there that could be used to more imaginative results.)

[bound for glory]

i think they look great! i'm not into deamon teams myself. but these are tempting me.
