Dude, seriously? A giant robot snake? Wow. There really is one of everything out there, isn't there? Sweet.
The crossbowmen aren't bad, especially for rank&file or D&D.

I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil |

Where is Elusive71 in all of this? Or are you, Kyoto-Sama, Destroyer of Board, but a puppet to the the laser eyed ducky? Those sculpts are like 3D versions of the very earliest D&D art. You know, the art before Gary Gygax & co could actually hire (competent) artists.

I still like the snake but even then the fangs look terrible.

I love the winged demon with a smiling codpiece. Its equally wacky hands and pose is even more caricatured than the chaos space marines! But, unlike the chaos marines, who attempt to look serious, this guy knows he's fugly but he's proud of it.

The 24-theives-for-$20 sculpts remind me strongly of the Heritage D&D minis from the early '80's.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

I used to sell all those Grim Reaper models, still have a ton of painted ones around from our display case. Takes me back a few years. Some of their stuff wasn't great, but he had a lot of cool sculpts that sold really well.

....and lo!.....The Age of Sigmar came to an end when Saint Veetock and his hamster legions smote the false Sigmar and destroyed the bubbleverse and lead the true believers back to the Old World.
