I'll buy them once they get a Command sprue and Heavy Weapon set, just make sure that the heavy weapon and command sprues have enough weapon options to cover the options that Guard can take. That would be the selling bonus for me. I really like the look aside from the head.

For your FYI, look at the Youtube video I linked, there is a comparison between the WF Great coats and the GW Cadians towards the end of the video. They are on exact scale terms and so will fit in with the Cadians rather well. Pig Iron's though are a scant bit smaller, not by much though.

The zombies however are smaller and thinner, completely different than the Great Coats and thinner than GW zombies. I much prefer the WF zombies though, as I think zombies would be emaciated rather than the well fed cartoon zombies of GW....but that's a personal preference. Im up to 50 WF zombies and 20 GW ones, will be getting more of the WF ones to get a decent zombiepocolypse horde

my guess is they'll be a bit small if put next to other human models, look good against an SM, and different heads may look a bit iffy.
I'll still buy some though, if anything else just to have a decent look.

I do remember that WGF said they would be doing the Greatcoats in heroic scale, due to request on their board.

So the zombies should not be considered as a comparison for the Greatcoats.

Also the vikings and celts they made seem a tad larger than the zombies as well.

I have some of all 3 along with the brits with pith helmet, and size seems as follows

zombie=>British=>Celts=>Vikings. But the difference between the Celts and Vikings is minimal.

Cheers guys for the info.
Will definately be buying these now.

It's probably been stated before but these guys are the same size as the Cadians, one of the greatcoat guys and a Cadian are shown together in that review on youtube. Nevermind, the post by Spacemanvic said as much.

Gotta disagree, mostly because Vikings, Ancient Germans, Romans, Celts etc don't interest me at all.

Its not the theme that disapoints me but rather the quality. A shame really. I look a these heads and dont like even just one of those... the regular weapons design is errr ugly and the coats are not that great.

Thats the reason why I bought the Pig Iron heads to go with the 2 boxes I pre-ordered of these!
