They look ok to me, bit wooden pose almost like they are from a plastic kit rather than wargames figures if you get what I mean

head swaps ;)

I was hoping for some hands on views as sometime photo's can be deceptive  :)

Agreed.
Squareheads, not roundheads  :)

But I haven't seen them in the flesh either...

Yep, not much help but it's obviously far better to see them in the flesh and in the hand.

You read my mind. Nice and crisp detailing, clean lines (too clean?), but too static, like mannequins.

At least they look 'real',  not being the huge-handed caricatures of other popular brands...

I only have moderns from TAG and all I can say is photos don't do them justice. I just feel they're better in flesh as they look a bit odd on photos. These are completely different style to moderns, as they don't seem as bulky.

I had them in the past. Completely different figures from the other Germans T.A.G produses, different design philosophy as some of them where a little ''static'', they where slimmer, a little taller, and saddly some and certainly only some of their heads ... well let's say that wheren't the best ...
Head swaps with Westwind's S.H.S it's out of the question ( i tried it ) but maybe the new B.A.M heads will look ok ( i didn't  tried it ) because they are smaller then Westwind's.

In my opinion if you field them in their one you would be ok but if you try to mix them with other manufacturers Germans ( Artizan, Crusader, old B.A.M, T.A.G other Germans, Victory Force, BH ) they will stand out.
Hope i helped you.

I used in this analogy in another thread...but those minis scream 1970's Airfix Plastics to me, and not in a good way if you catch my drift.  :?
