I know the announce that these will be released in January has come and gone, but I never saw a pic.

Sooooo, here ya go! Not the best pic, but it's the only one I've ever seen. Forgive me if someone already posted this and I just missed it!

 

Not quite what I had in mind, but I do like the vareity of poses. I'll probably pick up the IK druid as well.

Wow, those are worse than I could have even imagined. I wish Circle wasn't so hit or miss on the look of the minis. I only want to play with 50% of them...


Are there stats for overacting?

Truly terrible.

Those poses make Gary Morely's miniatures look subtle.

Are they ninja-druids? It's not a bad combo what with the wisdom bonus to armor class even in wildshape. Unless you're using the new polymorph subschool.

They get a +2 strength bonus for their  Shillelagh Ninjitsu.

They are, in fact, Nin-Drewids.

Shalalala!

Not my cup of tea... The poses just look forced. Heck, the fourth one from the left looks like he's about to burst into song.

Still, is there some rule against ninja druids? I mean, there are already ninja doctors out there.

Dude, Drewid is not the preferred nomenclature.  Dr00d, please.  Or the compound word, Dr00d D00d.

I <3 dr mcninja!

I dont like how they look either, Id especially dislike playing against them. Especially that "crouching tiger hidden dragon" guy in the far right.

Wasn't Pikel's word for it Droodad?

I kind of like the wooden axe things.

I think they look great, actually.

They don't look like tree huggers, and I think the sculpts
convey that feeling. Rules and background wise, these
druids are the type to murder you and your village because
your plows are debilitating the environment.

Sustainable agriculture is not a myth, noble granola ninjas!

Ah, but what sustains the soil? Human flesh...

Savage.

Looks like the chorus line to Druid Lords of the dance! Do they kill through their acting skills, that seem to be worse than Cpt Kirk? I mean really, those poses are so over emphasized that it looks bad. What is with those knee pads and shoulder pads? The guy on the far right looks like he is doing the squat of doom.

You can make druids look mean without making them look downright silly.

the first one on the left already looks like he has burst into song

Not sure, but I know people commonly refer to them as "drood" in games such as World of Warcraft.
"Hey, we could also use a drood in our party."
"A drood?"
"Yeah, a drood, you goota emphasize that second o."

Yup- everyone's favorite one handed dwarf druid did call himself a Droodad if I remember correctly. It was really Ivan saying it for him anyway :p

Is it only me or do they all look like Judge Drood from 2000AD?

Droods with knee-pads. Never saw that one coming!

It seems that these ninja druids are multipart the left figure and 4th from left seem to have identical bodies. The 2nd and 3rd from left also.

If we are lucky there will be separate (and more choises of  heads available and by converting the arms one might obtain a less dramatic pose.

Makes me wonder about the tharn bloodtrackers though.

 

 

... I actually like them, but then I haven't liked very much of the Hordes lines in general. Weirdly, I'd even consider getting these guys, though I don't play Hordes or have too much use for them. Maybe a load of DeathCultAssassins for a fun GW-free DH army???

- Boss Salvage

EDIT: Actually, I'll be using a couple boxes + the Lord of Feasts as a DIY Necro gang come February or so. Massive clubs FTW! Now I wonder about scale for replacing those wonderful open hands with pistol fists ...

Those are incredibly ugly. That is coming from the guy who likes every single other mini in the horde range.

Not the best minis Privateer has released recently, but not the worst either.

I would buy them if I played Circle.
