Nothing says post-apocalyptic struggle for survival quite like over embroidered golden muscle boys with hammers... This is beyond stupid, even for GW's current standard of "quality".

Hum, if those were for normal WFB, I would say they only make sense as a Slaanesh army. The gold stuff it just perfect for Slaanesh. But given it is OMGWTFBBQ of Sigmar, well, they could be Sigmarites. Or Vampires. Or maybe the new Skaven, for all the sense GW is making.

Looks like quite a few are on 40's and the rest are on 32's. Or maybe 25's and 40's but those shield guys have huge bases.

I think they're all on 32mm bases, it's just the angle that makes it look different. The mounted guy is on their new ovals that's 60x35.5 or the 75mm oval. Doesn't look like the large oval that many 40k monstrous creatures use.

The legs on the golden boys' armor look a lot like the leg on Sororitas power armor. Is that a sign?

I dig them, but it's somewhat ironic that they appear to have made Mantic Basileans.

As someone who has almost no interest in Fantasy, those models look really cool.

Now gimme the Chaos stuff, that's what I want!

No, it just means that WHFB might very well be ruined.

Have you seen that logo? Absolutely disgusting.

Looking at it again I think you're right. I got throw off by the guy on the far right next to his buddies. Probably all 32's. Either way, me likey. The flying guys and general are awesome. The double handed hammer guys are very nice and the hammer/shield dudes are solid.

... Wait, what? Talk about polarised opinions, this last page has been incredible.

I think they're very good minis. They're just way too noblebright for Warhammer.

I like He Man on Battlecat.

Just a teeny bit excited, there may be a window where this is good before GW feel compelled to drive models sales, fiddle with it and break it.

So, no female model, despite what some rumors were saying. Bad, bad GW.

Being saved for the Sisters of Battle/Sigmar cross-game boxes (I made that up, before it ends up elsewhere).

They're Sanguinary Guard^stupid in Warhammer Fantasy, on round bases. I find the models absolutely hideous, and if this is a sign of what is to come, I feel pretty sad about all the money I spent on WHFB.

Well at least you can keep singing Hammer Time with them guys. I only see hammers.

There's nothing wrong with that logo, for all you know it's a temporary one, and they're using it to call forth a bit of nostalgia to people... But that would be Marketing! That wouldn't be like GW.

No, it definitely couldn't be anything along the lines of an army powered by a manifest god saving humanity from the evil of the chaos gods.

If you like Space Marines, yes this might appeal to you.

But if you liked Fantasy, this is the dumbest thing ever.

Yeah, they look sweet! I would be doubly interested if I played Blood Angels as these would make some great kit bashed models. Can't wait to see what the chaos side brings!

All I need are my rules in a starter set and im all in for some AOS

There's nothing about the Sigmarines that can't be grimdarked up with judicious choice of paint and liberal application of weathering powder.

Holy crap- that's just half of the starter kit??!!

The models look nice, but if this is the new direction of fantasy, I don't think I can dig it.

Yeah, they're nice if you're looking for something to use in your Space Marine army.

They're not if you aren't.

Those types of things never existed in Fantasy.

I like 'em, I really do!

A fantasy version of kitbashable space marines might just be what the game needs (not being sarcastic)!

If anything, I would make the gold armor on the Sigmarites brighter!

Warplock Bronze->Sycorax Bronze->Sepia Wash->Auric Armor Gold

Yeah, because that's something that really fits in the setting!

I like riding motorbikes and eating shellfish. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like the two of those combined, it would get pretty messy and would also probably have fatal consequences.

Yes... and guess what, the fluff's moved on.

The models don't look too bad but I would have to see them up close. However, they are not Warhammer nor faithful to the idea or theme of the game. Empire Greatswords --> those lads. That's a big jump

From a marketing perspective it seems a cunning move from GW as the whole look of them is much more closely aligned to their 40K range with conversion appeal for space marine armies.
