Meh
Look like computer game characters. Perhaps the cartoony paint isn't helping but I'd put these in the same incinerator as the Minotaurs. Disneyfied bollocks that abandons 30 years of in house design & has decided to ride the coattails of WoW. I guess the young crop of GW designers all grew up playing computer games rather than wargaming. Much the same as the incestous flavour of their artwork nowadays. looks like kids who grew up copying GW art, with all it's flaws but none of the character or style & now churn out the same deformed rubbish week after week. I can't remember the last time I paid attention to a WD cover for more than a second or two before having to look away in disgust at the lazy composition & inept anatomy & perspective. God forbid they get kicked out of the studio & bother to attend a life class or two.
At least I'm not disappointed in these like the Minotaurs because I didn't bother looking forward to them. Thank the Lord I discovered the vast swathe of minis available through sites such as this one. Hard to believe this is the same company who released the Skaven just a few months ago.
Cheers, B.
PS I'm peeved 'cos I still care but they're squeezing it out of me, slowly but steadily.
PPS All sweeping generalisations should be taken in "rant" context, no need to defend your favourite piece!
