I like the three leftmost and the dog. Not a fan of axe-hulk or archer man. Overall they're good and I would love to see the full army, but I'm not super excited. Especially in light of the other stuff they showed today for other games.
Ooooooh! And that's a definite buy from me, a nice set overall. That said, we're going to have to do something about the heads for at least one of the characters (big hat double headed axe wielding bloke) but otherwise, pretty solid and I'm particularly enjoying the variety of poses, suitably 'barbarian' looking!

Man the soundtrack of Vermintide 2 is so good. I really like how they look. They are very cheesy 80's barbarian , like from a movie of Conan or the TV series of Xena the Warrior Princess or Hercules.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I think thats what they are going for?

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal
Is this the most versatile band so far? 2 of the look like ranged attackers, 2 melee, dog is possibly fast objective grabber, and leader with magic. It will be really interesting to see if that hybrid band can play differently with success depending on opponent or if they are too 'master of none' to work well. Also, I like they finally went for something closer to even split, not just one token female...
I like the dog and the Conan type guy with the axe. Spear Gal is good too.
Overall, a nice addition. If I ever get serious about a chaos army, these figures might find a home. They do fit some of the better parts of the marauder theme.

I am kind of interested but recently GW has been releasing wonky scale figures..
Don't want them if they are gigantic .. and worried they are..
Assuming those are 32mm bases they all come in at or under that mark, but they're also all in running or wide-legged action poses. I'd guess around 34-35mm tall for the men and the leader lady, 33-ish for the javelin woman - bigger than "normal" humans, assuming AoS still has those. Though people often get confused by the "28mm" moniker - GW's "normal" humans have been 31-32mm tall for a long time now.

To my knowledge, Goblins, The Eyes of Nine and Thorns of the Briar Queen bands also have ranged attacks. I think it will depend on what sort of variety you're looking for. Personally find The Eyes of Nine to have the most diversity when it comes to miniatures.
There's also a Slyvaneth band still waiting to be released in the future. I hope GW will also release a Daughters of Khaine band afterward.

You don't say!
I like the leader a lot Actually, teeth and all. Though I'd probably cut away the topknot standing straight up in the air. The FinalFantasy hairdo is enough as it is.

The second i saw the video im like 'well looks like my next warband!' love the look for them minus the caster's hair but other than that no major gripes!
I don't do AOS but I kinda want this set...for a sweet hair band!
Javelin lady gets her open hand turned a bit, sweet keyboard under those open fingers.
Sword guy gets a microphone stand .
Swap out the scythe for a bass.
Axe replaced with a Flying Vee guitar.
Just gotta figure out how to turn bow guy into a drummer.
