Shields maybe?  Dunno. I want to like them, but am not finding them very compelling....

I know whats missing: Two more figures per pack.

But actually the seem all the same too much. Mono pose style isn't what I would accept for the amount of money they  charge per pack.

I'm with you on this, I'm very underwhelmed. I love Foundry, their DA are some of the best miniatures ever. Unfortunately, they've slowly gone down in quality (my opinion) and up in price.

Not into those.  About as viscious looking as a fluffy bunny.

I find them stiff and poorly-proportioned. Fail.  :?

 lol lol lol

What's with the belts holding nothing? And the weird grins on their faces?
IMHO, I think they should have loin cloths.
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Did I read the right price? 16 Euro for 4 Models?  lol

Sorry, but every single 15mm minature of Splintered Light is equal or better concerning sculpting quality.

And their faces are pretty cartoony.  Is that a word? Cartoony.  Cartoonesque?

These are awful. The prices just make them insulting.

I've figured it out. The poses are either unnatural for a biped, or just silly.  One Brute is covering his eyes! How is that not silly?
