So have you guys seen this? I don't know about you, but I'm not impressed. I used to collect Heroclix figures and have thousands and thousands of them. They are cheap, plastic, POORLY painted sad excuses for miniatures. Now GW has allowed them into their universe. OMG. I'm sure that GW will still expect to put their price tags on this stuff though.

What do you guys think?

My armies: Empire, Dwarfs, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs and Goblins, and Skitarii (40K).

I wont buy them, I really hope that falls through. For 8th it won't matter though. 40k is the one at risk tbh. I hate AoS personally (I have no problem with people who like both but I won't play it) so imo they can kill that.

I've looked at various Heroclix models as I plan on bringing/playing various superheroes in Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition.

I didn't see any Heroclix models I considered worth purchasing so I agree they are pretty poor. Compared to the Noble Knight superhero models (expensive but quality) there is no comparison.
