At a quick peruse around the 'Net, not all that many peeps seem to like the Centurions...

That's a mild understatement. lol

I think they're brilliant!
When they started finecast, and I experienced what those resinous turds were like first hand, I thought "Fine, I'm not inflicting this misery on myself,  from now on, plastics only."
And now, they're turning out more and more stuff like this...
Soon, I won't be able to justify buying such hideous plastics from them as well and I'll be free!!!  ;D

I tried looking too but couldn't find anything that seemed absolutely legit. Somebody said $75 for 3 but that may have been
  • A: pre-emptive whingeing
  • B: sarcastic reference to GW's pricing policies
(choose the one you feel is applicable)

£50 for the three, I think I saw. Can't say that's it for certain, but seems in line with GW's ever-deepening pricing looniness. (Sad face at the new lizardman carnosaur costing the same)

Wot, even Warseer? ;D I gotta go see.

Edit: wow. First couple of pages of responses on Warseer: a few 'meh's and a lot of 'no's. They must be really bad.

Think £50 for three might be about right, after all the reboxed Tau Crisis Suits were about that price (think £45-50 for 3)

That means they're $25 each?  Yes, I'm definitely doing something wrong....

I actually rather like the big powerlifter thing. It's way better than the CBeebie Marine.

Gotta agree with you there.

Their scenery is pretty good and not too costly either.

They may drive all their competitors to the wall, blind their custmers to the existence of anything but their stuff, and sell Warhammer players the same rulebooks over and over every year or two, but they do make exceedingly good cakes.

Or was that Mr. Kipling? :?

Oh boy, those do look really horrible, but I kind of like them anyway... And I usually don't like anything GW is doing these days, hahaha

Well, I will of course not buy any of them, but that is another thing.

Don't think you've been at it quite as long; not to worry, you will eventually succumb to the dark side... *mua-ha-ha-ha*
