I thought I would share these and find out what you think of them.

These have been sculpted by Paul Muller and painted by Paul Sanderson.These would be good additions to AE Bounty crew's.







There are also some new Goblins by Kev Adams.











Also some Snow Troopers sculpted by Adam Gayford and painted by Jon Atter.These would make good Imperial Guard proxies.

I like the Imps and Goblins but the snow troopers are a bit bland. Nothing about them pops out at me.

The snow trooper idea is an interesting one, but it was poorly executed.

I like the snow troopers... but at £30+P&P which takes them into the Death Korps price range... I'd have to go with the Death Korps.

I have just had a look at the Death Korps and they are £35.00 for ten miniatures.Then you have 12% postage costs.So that works out at £38.80 for ten.The Snow troopers are fourteen miniatures for £30.00 plus £3.00 postage giving a total of £33.00.So that is £5.80 cheaper and you get four more miniatures.

Yes you get more miniatures and less detail

A lot less detail. The faces just don't look right also the clothing looks flat and smoth rather than textured.

U.S. distributer?

I don't think the Snow Troopers are that terribad?

The snow troopers look exactly how they should work. Their parkas are stuffed with multiple layers of insulating material, which makes them puffy and outwardly smooth. The goblins are awesome as well, especially the one who looks as if his daddy was an Ettin. (How do an Ettin and a Goblin make love? Verrry carefully!)

I dont like goblins so no comment on those.

The trooper however look fine to me. They're painted all white which doesnt really help to show off the mini's. For someone who is good at blending, I think these guys could look rather cool. However they do seem to be lacking something. Maybe the peeps above are right and they require "more"?

The snow troopers are just what I've been looking for to compliment my Space Wolves. The detailing looks fine to me considering what they are meant to be wearing and as for price, when you check out the price of Valhallan IG on-line these guys are a bargain!

Really?! A squad of 10 Valhallan are £20 and you can then get it sent to your local store for free so no postage. You could even add to those 10 troops a Valhallan Heavy bolter squad OR a Mortar squad and the lot would still be cheaper then the snow troopers. So you'd end up with 2 less figures than if you got snow troopers but would have a heavy weapons squad...

So you get:



+



-OR-



Like I've said before.. I do like the snow troopers... and if they were cheaper then I'd try them out. But when you get into FW price ranges for a non-40k set of figures that most places wouldn't let you use anyway... FW will always get my money...

The Gremlins are very cute, but I don't like the Gobbos or the Snow Troops. Could we have a scale pic next to a human sized, 28mm mini. I may have to get a couple of gremilins, but they'll instantly lose their charm if they're bigger than my other minis.

You get a flamer, sniper, two heavy weapons (not sure what they are mind), unit leader, comms plus eight regular troopers for your money and the figures look more realistic in my opinion. But each to their own...

Have to agree with everyone else, dont really like the details you get for the price on the snow troopers. I could get 20 Pig Iron models for £2 more
