Thread Lich!

Has anyone’s opinions changed now?

clam:

Think you’ll find lots of opinions in here: http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7476 - my opinion hasn’t changed much after first view and after playing around with them in my blog.

First, you have to like the design - that’s the alpha and omega here. If you do, they are a great, cheap option/alternative to GW.

But quality costs - and I find the plastic too soft and the static/fixed pose is my main concern. Would have liked more multi parted miniatures - especially would more separated heads and arm choices have helped.

But then there are the metals. And both kings council and berserkers are excellent models (IMO)

And the new ‘resin plastic’ (used for the Revenant Knights) could make a difference - still cheap (£25 for 10 knights) but sounds like the holds details much better.

nitroglysarine:

Yeah i knew about the other thread, i just thought some people would like a blast from the past. :smiley:

clam:

Oh, it was just that if people should comment on their first opinion - maybe they would like to be confronted with them :stuck_out_tongue: Think you’ll find most peoples first views in the other thread.

Obsidian:

Didn’t like them then and do not like them now! Exceptions are the berserkers and the doggy you pointed out in another thread. :slight_smile:
