For those of us that don't know which is which (to many FF teams out there now, and I don't look at GW stuff much :oops: )?

I like the GW Blight Kings. Never been a fan of guts hanging out all over the place.

+1 for the converted GW's by a small margin.
As they stand, GW's seem a bit more dynamic, more bulky (the left one from Franarcilla is a quite flimsy), and have an overall look more Nurgle-ish than the F ones.

Lovely paint job on the lot, congrats.

This for me, though unlike Stout I do miss the hanging guts, which I feel is a Nurgle trait (though not necessarily on every figure).

not that i would ever advise someone to give money to GW, and while i quite like the franc figures, i have to vote for the blight kings...
whats the "price per figure" of the blight kings? about $12usd each?

I got the Blightkings from Noble Knight/Dice Head on one of their 25% off GW weekends.. so I think the box of 5 minis was about $45 roughly... the 5th Blightking is converted up as a kind of BoN awaiting a paintscheme.. might be a while in truth.. :-?

so I think the GW plastics actually ended up more cost effective than the Franarcilla metals - there are some extra bitz I used in the conversions though.. so having a bitz box of alternate hands/chaos mutations/severed heads helps..

I prefer the Blightkings, aesthetically they are about the same. But the GW sculpts and casting looks to be a bit better than the Franarcilla models.

I also like that the Blightkings are a little bulkier, they look suitably imposing for ST4.
