Folks,

I've posted 43 piccies online of the boxed contents (both the metal and plastic figures). The plastic sprues are nice and detailed (about as good as plastic figures come). I reckon the ghouls and skellies are the best. I like Carstein too but I'm not so keen on the Vampire Lord (which is actually a Vampire Lady !)

Close ups of the Vampire Counts Spearhead box contents

There are two posts (the first one shows plastic figures, the second one beneath it has the metal figures)

What do you think ?

Thanks for the pics.

The plastics look fantastic.

The metals... are about on par with the metal Possessed models from a while back. Ugh.

Already seen most of the models in person. They are pretty horrible from start to finish. The plastic Grave Guard are servicable, but if you want your standard bearer to actually stay standing, you'll need to weight his base.

the plastic Ghouls and wolves are particularly dreadful.

Is it a detail issue, or an assembly issue, or (hopefully not) both? I am interested to know what makes them so terrible, as I have not seen them in person. Bummer.
