To echo the others - Really nice models but I'll not be buying any unless they shrink to 28mm.

Ditto!  :(
I don't know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

I won't be gaming with them, but I tend to buy miniatures of excellent quality regardless of scale. I game with 28's but I have various 40mm and 54mm figures that I've painted up just to display. These are very nice.

Quite nice, and best of wishes! I agree with dandiggler. Just cause we all game with 28mm doesn't mean we don't wanna paint up beautiful miniatures. ;)

From a wargaming perspective, I would have preferred to see these in 30mm/'heroic 28mm' to go with a project I'm doing in slow time. However, I tend to agree with bako and dangiggler in that just because these ate a different scale ite doesn't meen I'm not interested in them - some of these would make great painting projects and I expect some of the monsters would be useable in 28mm too.

As I said, they are nice, but not being 28mm counts them out for me. I don't have the time (and struggle to get the inclination) to paint the figs I game with. While I have in the past bought nicely sculpted figs so that I can paint them, it's never happened, and I again stick to 28mm so that I can use them if I want to.

I really wish I enjoyed painting and was good enough at it to do showcase pieces (I suspect the two go together, if you enjoy it, you get good at it) but I just can't.
So many projects..... so little time.......
