Arguably not that different to normal gangs then. 5 bodies on a sprue and two sprues. So doubles of everything.

To be fair, if they are much like a vanilla Chaos Cult, then 15 models is decent. Cawdor and Chaos Cultists tend to end up with numbers over quality weapons and items. If you use the right card, you can get at least a couple of fighters in addition to whatever the scenario dictates.

The look suitably nasty. Chaos cult types getting a lot of love at the moment.

Yes.
And looking at that Its suspiciously around he Champions and juves sprues they said they will be making someday.
I was thinking that this project became vapor-mini but who knows now.. 3 big guys and 2 juves per sprue sounds perfect

I'm not sure they promised 'sprues' but they did say juve models at least.

Tbh, I'm not that bothered by them. I've never been overly convinced that 'juves' should just be 'young' members of a gang. I've always thought they could equally just be new members who have little or no fighting experience.

There are a lot of things for them yet to cover if what they have said so far is anything to go by.

Maybe not promise but there were some hints about possibility of a plastic set like that.

For when you just refuse to acknowledge that less really is more. But know your fan based will literally buy anything you push out your backside.

Most of it is over the top for me, but I apreciate the round doors as a nod to the old models.

The first one is far more OTT than the previous two versions. This being the last:


The 2nd one though, is arguably better than it's predecessor, though it is very subjective:

It depicts the problem of driving tanks through a church quite well though...

I would never have guessed that Mindstealer Sphiranx  is a warhammer model, but I do quite like it.

It perfectly possible to express personal dislike for an object without at the same time sneeringly condemning people who have a different opinion to yours.
Maybe you could give that a try sometime?

Is this like the Brown Bear Vs Black Bear thing again?  lol Only, I can assure you, after a very close encounter (four feet at most) with a Black bear, at that moment - when your brain is trying to decide what course of action your basic instinct should take, the thought that there is a larger version of it out there never crosses your mind...  ;D :D Luckily, these Brown bears just wanted to eat candy from the trash can due to the Pocono mountains becoming colder sooner that year and so foraging further down into warmer climates. They were friendly enough, at least, it didn't tear any of my limbs from my body and let me go back to bed with my body intact.
