mottdon you pretty much summed up my thoughts. All very nice models but not many I need. I’ll definitely be getting one of the salamanders at some point and I really love the new Krox (and I prefer the standard ones to the warspawned). They do remind me of the fan sculpts you picked up.

Oh boy. I hope there are proper TOW Empire models in the pipeline and these are not a whiff of things to come.

Something tells me this may be the new aesthetic and size that they're going for with ToW. With everything going to larger bases I think that 30/32mm scale may be their new thing. Honestly the best I'm hoping for is the rerelease of older sets, so that I can grab up a lot of what I missed last time around. But it could just be the grumpy old man in me coming out

I don’t dislike these for a Mordheim warband.

They're cool models, but not as the Empire aesthetic. Everyone knows that true Empire Captains have puffy sleeves and armoured codpieces. This guy is probably a mercenary captain from the Border Princes with only a tenuous loyalty to Sigmar and even more tenuous understanding of current sartorial trends in Karl Franz's Empire.

So they go and increase the size of all bases because "models don't fit" But then and increase the size and stances of all minis, thus ensuring that the new ones also won't fit?

Have to say, I like these. I can see these guys being from Hockland or some such.
You have to remember these are AoS models and NOT TOW models. I don't think [totally just an opinion] the design process involved considering any future TOW ascethic at all.

Those don't look bad imo and I could see them around the empire and such but the newest article said they have no real plans for AoS and ToW cross over so I don't think we have to worry about new asthetic and size just yet.

Totally. I use a lot of other minis in my WFB armies, some mismatch scales really work out also. I, personally, really dont have a problem with this.

Yeah, I like the hammer version. He really reminds me of the fat, sword and shield Captain of old. The other two, not as much. Besides, who ever takes a Captain with a pistol? I'm judging by 8th edition rules, of course, but even so, I can see them making rules changes to the point that it'd change much. No, I'll keep my old Captain as my go to "Sword-n-Board" option.

Not that I wasn’t expecting it but the new lizard models are expensive. Fully in line with the Highest price models during 8th (infantry - witch elves). Would definitely make collecting a Lizardman army in TOW a pricey affair. Perhaps that is a reason they aren’t one of the core factions, as you’d have to spend almost £80 just for 20 warriors (if direct for GW).
