Overall, I'm pretty meh about these sculpts. The Nyss lady would look better if she didn't have that crazy receeding hairline. Guess it's all the blight energy making it fall out...time for Rogaine Foam!

The Skorne guy  looks like he is either dramatically takeing a crap or performing in a noh play.  I do not like the Narutard chick either.  They put up the Gatormen.  They  not bad, but I definately like the canckle-less Wargods Sebeki better.

Taking a Dump Guy is awesome. Reverse Drow, not so much. Zaal's booger pillar is pretty cool, too, but could use a better paint job.

Completely and utterly unimpressed with the skorne guy, which is odd since I've liked that entire line with only a couple of exceptions!

I'm not really digging the blight chick either, but it's mostly her comically oversized boots. That's been a running theme with that line... Actually, I can honestly say the only non-creature model from that line that I don't loathe is a half-ogre, so maybe I'm not a good sample for her.

I agree with everything except the Gatormen, which are freaking bad ass (and actually look like alligator-men). Don't get me wrong, the Sebeki are cool, but they are much more crocodillian (for a reason). With the Gatormen, you can now create a true Ragin' Cajun army of gator death and I am definitely going to find a way to get these into my collection.

Try using money.

I like the Gatormen too. I'm so-so on the rest.

Wow... the gatormen are NICE. But don't fit with the rest of the PP stuff. They look far too realistic. It's like putting a WWII scale model with brass etched parts on a 40k game table. It just looks wrong...

I still LOVE the sculpt on those gatormen if only for the excellent quality/realism and not for the lack of styling...

Skorne guy is pretty 'meh' but then I don't really like the faction as a whole either.

The legion chick, I can dig.  The big boot look I'm a fan of - in real (club/scene) life & in miniature - and I don't think her hairline is too insane or anything.  What I don't like is the pose on her left arm, which I guess is throwing one of those spikes but mostly just is lame.  Otherwise good to see the asymmetric metal armor plates that started with Lylith (my fav hordes model, in the end).

Also, Gatormen FTW.  Obviously.

- Boss Salvage

I think the sculpting on the Skorne warlock is very nice, but the pose is awkward. Also, with a name like Aptimus Zaal I expected him to be a Transformer.

Thagrosh is the one miniature in the line that completely soured me on the whole Legion (that and the Seraph.)  If it weren't for his enormous forehead and ridiculous weapon, I would be a willing vassal of Everblight, even now.

Regarding these models, the gatormen are fantastic.  I like them much better than the trogs which I, for some reason, am forced to compare them to.

I didn't see it before, but yes, he does look like the Skorne guy is having a bowel movement.  Is that how the rage ghost is produced, perhaps?

Heh, that Kovass doesn't look scary at all- more like Slimer! Aptimus looks pretty cool (even if he's not *actually* a Transformer)- kinda like an alien Japanese war monk or something. Not digging the blighted Narutard either- the boots are okay (they resemble the blighted ogrun and Thagrosh armor). It's her anatomy that seems off (hands, head, etc.), lame, punny name (is she a toxic gas or something?), and weak concept (Leet ninja duo skills !!11!1!). If they were going to do ninjas, they should do ninjas.

Gatormen rock out with their hawk out. I hope they kick much bass.

Personally, I liked them. When I looked at them, they didn't jump out at me and say "Suck", like models of theirs do, from time to time. But then I'm a bit of a PP fanboy when it comes to the models--I typically like everything.

I like. I can't wait for previews of the new light calv models after seeing the everblight elk rider art. PP have arrived and seem to be getting better and better as they go along. Any one know if PP has public stock options.

There's pics of Circle Cav in the PP Forums.

Ummm...are you talking about the leg armour?  Admitted it does look like bell-bottoms but still looks cool to me.  honestly can't wait to get her and her sis.  would love to do a 1K battle with those two.
