Hm. Nice models, but nothing about them really screams "captain" to me. Mind you, I'll still get them (eventually) for completion's sake (I have all of the official FG models), but I don't see anything there that wouldn't be equally represented by other historical or fantasy models or that couldn't be kitbashed with plastics.

Just my opinion.

I LOVE that African-looking one with sword and dagger. Will fit my Africa-themed warband perfectly.

They look like Captains to me.

Isn't a Captain just a more experienced fighter with more gear and armor?

I bet with upcoming "Into the Breeding Pits".
Maybe, just maybe, "Sellsword" will be merged with it?

I thought I saw something suggesting they'll be on sale in May!

I'm afraid not - Sellsword (and the other PDF supplements) will be collected (along with some other goodies) into a print volume in the Spring.

Nice variation in arms and armour styles, rather like the lot.

Only just noticed the one in red and black carries a missile weapon as well as a shield (sensible choice for a Captain I'd say), while the one with the crossbow also seems to have additional gear.

agreed, it's nice to see the sculptor thinking outside the box
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
