@ DiscoQing - thanks for sharing a pic of your mantic treekin.I like them a lot!! To be honest I think they are really a good alternative to GW treekin( the old) and the new models. The new, I think, are also too much expensive. @ mottdon - I am going to buy some mantic skeletons...It seems I will not be disappointed then....:-) @ knoffles -"Mantic are very hit and miss" - i could not say it better. First time I see this website. I think there are some interesting things... Bolt thrower is one of them but not the only one. knightmareminiatures.com/product/bolt-throwerdid someone buy some stuff from them?

Perry brothers are awesome and I think about changing my hobos to theirs. Just I am not too fond of metal minis.

I really want the box to add to my (unbuilt) Skaven army as it doesn't have any of those models. I've only got 20 Ghouls and 3 Crypt Horrors and both units could do with being boosted too.
Not bothered by the Skaven scenery or spells, though the Rat Swarm type spell could be useful as Rat Swams. The Undead throne would be a nice fulcrum for a Storm of Magic game.
Those Fleur de Lys designs on the bodies in the Undead wall are interesting. Dead Bretts?

The crypt ghouls faction in AoS are all delusional - they think they're still bretonnian nobles, when actually (and obviously) they're undead.
So the spell models look to blend in with that idea too, with an unholy grail and HORSES! Also what looks to be a shield with heraldry on top of the staircase.

The rat swarm might be a neat thing to use if you cast Vermintide. You’d have to shape them correctly of course if the base doesn’t work out with to be the right size, but that’s my thoughts. The scenery is neat, but not great.

I actually like the Skaven Warpstone pits. I think they'd look pretty cool on a table top.

They're cool, but I think you'd need to go fully themed on your board to make them work. They're not just something that can be plonked down on a grassy field without looking entirely incongruous.

True, but I really want to configure an "Underway" board. I think those would work well with the other scenic elements like a Mushroom "Fungus Forest", Bane Stone, etc. I think I'd use it as a "Charnel Pit" but with a 6+ Regen for Skaven instead of Undead.

The old Skulltaker was already a pain to rank and this one doesn't look like he'll be any better...

Thanks for posting this with all the images. I'd watched all the vids earlier by coincidence and am pretty pumped for the new Abbadon! Sticking with Fantasy I prefer the old Skull taker model by a fair margin. I don't like the pose of this one as much or the hole in his sword. It seems to lack the lethal menace of the prior model and be more of a GW generic triumphant pose which they have been doing a lot of lately. I would recommend watching the Shadespire Wood Elf video. GW are much better with their digital marketing than they used to be and the video makes the new minis look amazing with the zooming and panning etc. I really like the archer and guy with the big sword and think they would make a great wood elf hero/lord respectively. The one with branches for legs would make a great mage. I'm definitely a fan of this new crew of 4 even though I won't be picking it up myself.
