Is his head a pelvic bone? Or is that just me?
Nevermind... just looked at it again... it's a jawbone. I think.

I think the June one is the underwater elves. I don't know what they're called. Meh. Not too excited about the whole Underworlds set.

Looks like some sort of flying piranha stuck on a sunken ship.

Yep the June warband is Idoneth Deepkin. I like the fact they've got a fantasy lionfish as one of their Warband members!
I personally think the Ossiarch is pretty decent, mainly because he has a sinister Necron-like head like one other model in the range, rather than the stupid Joker rictus-grin faces that most of the range have, but he still has no place in Warhammer Fantasy.

That is some good stuff! The skeletons I really like. With all that serious armor, maybe they could make no-fancy-robes-all-business Grave Guard? And considering the earlier undead stuff, there is a good chance the Blood Knights are not monstrous and could serve as regular cavalry like they are supposed to (one yellow card for unnecessary boob armor but that's not bad).

Iām liking the fell bats, they are actually tempting to buy now. The blood knights almost make me regret having 5 or the old ones unbuilt. Hopefully you get options to have them all in helms

I'm hoping there are 5 normal, non boob armor torsos for the blood knights. If the standard bearer has to have boob armor that's a no from me as the kit will no doubt be exorbitantly priced.
Loving the release overall though.
The heavy armor skeletons are very nice.

They look good! I especially like the Fell Bats. So much better that previous.
As for the boob armor....well, representation is the name of the game these days.
Honestly, it doesn't really bother me. It's such a minor detail, I had to scroll back to find it. The paint job helps hide them. I like boobs anyway.

It's such a minor detail, I had to scroll back to find it. The paint job helps hide them. I like boobs anyway. It's just that my (in law) Blood knights are from an understandably all male knighthood so having a female in there breaks verisimilitude. It's not the female representation I have a problem with (an easy head swap would fix that)...it's the terrible looking boob armor torso. Usually GW kits don't have much in the way of extra torsos. I see blood knights as being vampire knights loosely based on real world human knights and armor. If there was actually historical boob armor plate used by knights on horseback I'll happily conceed the issue. I also had to do a double take lol. I know these aren't 'old world' blood knights but in the old world making 9 sets of normal full plate armor (both my oop and potentially these new blood knights) and 1 boob plate seems a bit silly. A female knight could just use normal plate armor. I like boobs too (as do most guys lol) but this blood knight boob armor looks ridiculous and out of place imo. Not that I couldn't use it on a separate female character conversion but if GW don't provide 5 proper plate armor torsos it's a missed opportunity imo. Now if this kit is actually price 'cheaply' (by GW standards) I take it all back but I have a feeling it's going to be ridiculously expensive compared to the black knights box...especially for us poor Australians. I mean the new Behemat mega gargant/giant kit is over $300 here. If this kit is over $90 here which I'm expecting it will be I want (at least) 5 proper plate armor torsos. Who knows..maybe Gw will surprise us all and give us 5 boob plate armor and 5 plate armor torsos for proper representation to enable a full 5 squad of brave and strong female vampire knights. We shall see if it's that or just the 1 token, out of place boob armor wearer. I like the new weirdly spelt Varghulf thing and the size looks about right. That and the Wight King I'm looking forwards to the most.

Some absolutely inspired stuff. Really hope at least some of these models can be crammed onto square bases.
