Oh now, those broo/ beastmen

[Blackwolf]

Broo ! I like them

I really like the Brood Slaves.
I always liked the look of Broo from Runequest, and I had the Citadel ones from when they were Runequest figures not Chaos Beastmen. In particular they grabbed my imagination because so much of my fantasy influence was Tolkien-esque, but the Broo were something completely unrelated to that source, and looked great.

Need to get some painted up ASAP.

Now the Crusader goblins have been out for a while, does anyone know how they compare in size to say the 28mm Crusader Dark Ages? I am assuming as they are badged as goblins they are smaller in stature? I really like the figures apart from them not having helmets. I am hopeful there will be further releases of packs with helmets?

How did I miss these? There are some very interesting miniatures in there; I like 'em a lot too

Here's an article from North Star's Kev Dallimore about Speedpainting the beastmen:

Andrew Taylor has also painted some of the Brood Slaves, though he took a bit more time. He's also painted some Ogres as Fire Giants for our Frostgrave games:

Mark'll do more if sales warrant it, so far these new Fantasy figures have been really well received so I think we'll see more.

The "unclutteredness" of these miniatures is really refreshing - lots of scope for freehand! Very nice!

Here's a quick snap of the Goblin leader alongside a viking hersir from Crusader.

Nice; this makes the goblins just about the right size, but the oger-like types too small to work as convincing Olog-Hai.

A shame, because I really like the models...

[nicknorthstar]

I wouldn't have them as Olog-hai, I agree. Olog-hai should be much more bestial and savage.

The Ogres have a real early fantasy feel about them. Just big humanoid fighters. Bodyguards to an evil vizier, or a savage, giant hill tribe. Love them, so 'not Warhammer', not Middle-Earth either.

Thanks for the comparison picture. The goblins look to be the right size for Middle-Earth orcs. Just hoping some will be released with helmets.
