Standard bearer in the old KoTBS has the same type of helmet

Back OT, the horse look a tad bit small, looks like a pony.

I have to admit that helmet is kinda scary.
just look at it:

The horse is a good size - too many companies make over sized horses

The girth is my one point of contention with the horses.

But the knights look too top heavy and they are too straight in the leg.

New mantic trolls!!!
18 euros for 3.

I think they look very LOTR!
And at that price, me thinks my goblin army might need to units of 6.

EDIT: Did you notice how I spelled two???
Good grief.

I just purchased a 100 model army for £30 for use in the Great Northern War, by Zvezda. I am constantly amazed at the low cost of plastic figures by companies such as them, shown on Plastic Soldier Review. I remember getting an entire WotR era army for £20. And the thing is, whilst a lot of them look like they cost nothing, so much more look so good.

Really the only reason I wanted to post this was to state I'm going to be killing a lot of Swedes.

Those legs are massive...

Have you seen the new ogres Shadow? They seem to have knock knees.

They have a small piece of loin cloth.

That's what people say about my shorts as well.

thundercake · « **Reply #1964 on:** June 28, 2013, 08:39:55 PM »

While i really only like Mantic's undead stuff, these guys look OK as alternate mounts for demis. Just toss the rider and add some leftover knights.

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #1965 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:44:40 AM »

The proportions on the trolls look a bit like Vor Growlers.

(Which I suppose are sort of like half-sculpted Warmahordes Trolls as well.)

If you're looking for cheap trolls, but aren't too worried about the sculpting being a bit rough around the edges, the Old Glory ice trolls aren't a bad buy, either. http://plasticgeneral.blogspot.com/2011/04/trolls.html

I like the lion-ish thing quite a bit, except... the saber-teeth look ridiculous, and the first thing I would do is replace the 40k thunder hammer and power shield.

thundercake · « **Reply #1966 on:** June 29, 2013, 04:27:30 AM »

yea, cut off the teeth and the rider and you are good to go.

Midaski · « **Reply #1967 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:04:32 AM »

God those trolls and ogres are awful - so cartoony.

On a side note did you see one of this year's hot toys for Christmas is an old toy renamed ................ because trolls is a word with bad associations.

commandant you're a ZELF doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?

Those trolls reminded me of this:

Considering their ghouls and zombies are rather nice miniatures one has to wonder about Mantic's design decicsions...

patsy02 · « **Reply #1969 on:** June 29, 2013, 12:07:28 PM »

The trolls look quite decent, and streets ahead of the shitty human models they've released. Thin legs though.

oak_prince · « **Reply #1970 on:** June 29, 2013, 04:26:05 PM »

Alas, my quest for alternate Chaos Trolls continues.

Mantic's stuff has been pretty awful lately.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #1971 on:** June 29, 2013, 04:35:20 PM »

Their goblins have been consistently decent in my view, and the mummies coming out seem nice. Otherwise yeah, lately not good.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1972 on:** June 29, 2013, 09:43:24 PM »

I can´t understand how those Mantic guys are basically professionals at what they do....and they still seem to have no grasp about proportions and creative ideas for models.

Take a look at the Kingdom Death Kickstarter...there are so many Models I would like to have....fantastic as unit fillers for Demon and Warriors of Chaos Armies.

The Dung Beetle Knights as a unit filler for Nurgle Chaos Warriors

Or this thing as unit filler for Horrors

Amazing.

"The most aerial model ever created"

The most meaningless attribute ever made to look like a selling point
