Gotta say, Pride and Lust probably have the creepiest art. The monsters really do look like Necromorphs, though. I am really looking forward to this game.

a Controller, some Lessers & a Greater for each Sin.
It all fits together, and I like it even better.
Spot on and then you have the Hell club who are separate to the others (they're the S&M cenobite looking guys) they are also controlled by the others player

I kind of respect that they didn't go the Slaneesh route for lust - T&A and such. The lust controller is simply awesome as a creepy figure. Does 40K mutant better than GW. That said, the demons all kind of run together. They could have done a better job of making them distinct flavors, as opposed "creepy twisted mutant things". They are good as that though, don't get me wrong. Envy is pretty sweet!

Maybe it's just me, but the human units do not match the sculpt quality of the monsters. I think I'd have to replace these guys with some figures that are a bit more interesting.
The humans are pretty good. The mutants are not as good as the Controllers, but the tacticals are perfectly serviceable.
The werewolf is still terrible, and needs to be reconcepted and resculpted. He's a super huge, strong, ancient werewolf. He doesn't need a sword. He should be *plenty* strong and fierce enough just with his bare claws and centuries of fighting experience.
For how good the rest of the range is, the werewolf is such a hugely obvious letdown.

I wonder, did McVey not watch any of the Underworld movies? While Kate Beckinsale is incredible to watch, the Lycans would be great models for werewolves.

While I agree that these figures are "okey", they are unfortunately underwhelming considering who are behind this project. Okey are good for most companies, but here I expect more.
I can see why people wouldn't like the werewulf, but he doesn't really bother me. If you're that turned off by him, there are a few companies making werewolf minis that would suit you.

The werewolf is badly-conceived and badly-sculpted. I shouldn't have to hunt and buy another werewolf model to make up for a clearly sub-par model in this game. There is time to get it right, and now is the time to be voicing concern and criticism.

Thorley, the horned brute, is good. I like him. Great detail in the muscle & chain.
The tentacle girl is OK, although tentacles growing backward out of one's elbows doesn't make any anatomical sense whatsoever. This might need customization, but the key is that the girl and the tentacles are well-sculpted. Just not well-integrated.

I mean, he doesn't bother me at all, quite frankly.

I agree the pose isn't great the concept art was much better but it's not castable in one piece (all the characters need to be one piece) so it was changed. Several of the characters do suffer a bit pose wise being one piece. The sword was kept so it's obvious it's Karl so the sword needs to be somewhere but it's an odd pose. I very much doubt any of the sculpts will change now as they are to far advanced with production but no harm in asking .
