I remember the preview pics of those. They look good. I asked them for a shot of them with a ruler to see how they scale.

Hello

How many figures/groups in a pack, the description doesn't say?

Cheers

They were working on 10mm terrain last year - really hope they release that.

You get what's pictured: 16 figs (8 sculpts x2).

Have also ordered one pack.  Given the price and reasonable P&P, I figured it was worth a punt.  Look ideal for Norse Beserkers?  Perhaps even Marauder proxies; although not sure they look like 5+ armour!?  Flagellant proxies in an Empire army?

I was thinking crew for chariots or albion slingers.

@Dave, or even Swordsmen for Dogs of War?  I know there's a certain manufacturer who makes great Greatswords, but 4 max per 1,000 might allow for some additional variety?!

Minis arrived today.  With a free sample of their new reptilian 10mm figures, so many thanks to Spellcrow for those.

The Barbarians are 12 or 13mm from top of the base to top of head.  When put alongside some GW Marauders (11mm), they are a little bit taller   But from the sculpts they are clearly spending a lot of time buffing themselves up at the gym so, given their bulk across the shoulders, they don't look too much out of kilter with their 'normal' brethren!

Here are some images... front and back, on graph paper for scale and on black as it shows more of the detail.
(those of you on the WM Faceboo group will have seen them when I posted them there yesterday)
I think these are nice. A little large as EmpireAddict says, but they seem pretty buffed and so won't look out of place.

One thing to note - the strip is about 50mm long. So they will need to be cut up in order to be based. This may actually help them be arranged into a semi-irregular formation.
