AGPO:
These guys are GW miniatures - what is this?!? :o
Obsidian:
They are from the GW collectors range based on the Lustrian Vampires/Pirates fluff.
Maul:
Where does the fluff originate?
Loki:
If i am wrong please correct but i think they are all based on the free port of sartosa if i remember correct which is where all the pirates of the old world hang out and trade, its mentioned in a few books (fell cargo for one) they where original intended for release with the pirate zombie list that came out some years ago which was all based around a vamp called Luthor Harkon, who was on a ship as cargo and turned all the crew to zombies and they continued to sale the seas as un dead pirates, was a very cool list zombies with deck guns was on of my favourite bits about the list

Sartosa is mentioned in the 5th ed DOW book, being close to Tilea and a former citystate, before going all out "ARRR".

The models are part of GW's "new" sell-models-we-have-made-because-well-for-some-reason-we-can't-remember-and-doesn't-come-with-rules-please-buy. AKA known as Collector's series.
Dannyfave:
It is a very good thing they relese them though, as there are many players such as myself who are more into painting than playing.(Don’t get me wrong though, I do like to play and have won a few rouge traders but I mostly go for the best painted prize)

I would settle for just plain logic from GW, but I agree it would be nice.The models are part of GW's "new" sell-models-we-have-made-because-well-for-some-reason-we-can't-remember-and-doesn't-come-with-rules-please-buy.

But it has to be something they believe will sell and they actually have. If you mean the old CD models then I think the expression is "fat chance".
Kera foehunter:
i wounder if they did any good selling them!!! They where a little high for me!!
