Bring out your dead!
Im not that impressed to be honest. The corpse cart is kind of cool. Is it a chariot type thing or something. And are those meant to be grave guard? I hope not.
Hm, well the corpse cart is pretty hilarious, and I like the new skeletons far more than the old ones.  But, ever notice how GW can't sculpt vampires to save their lives?  Vlad's armour is kinda neat, but the faces are awful.  Since when did fangs = buck teeth?
Vlad Von Buckteeth.

"The new plastic skeletons are amomg the most intricate we've ever released".....Whatever. GW must be pretty crap then lol

the female vampire looks out of proportion.  her arms are too skinny and long.


I just realised that her foot has the same armour as archaon on foot has.

Oh man sforry if thissf isf hardf to readf but my keyboardf isf full of drool Shock
some more incase you missed these ones


grave guard

fell bat
The skeletons look okay to me - I will definitely buy a box or two.

The corpse cart is sort of alright - I would have preferred something more like a real cart than a undead construct.

The characters are just terrible - Vlad is over the top and achieves nothing. The female vamp is stiffly posed and looks like a 5th edition model.
The corpse cart is superb.
The skeletons are better than the current ones.

The Vampire characters are, frankly, embarrassingly bad.
Looks pretty good to me.  The new skeles are at funny angles though, their legs look a bit odd.  I'm not drooling, but they are better than the current ones and none of them are bad at all.
I think that the skeletons do their job. No better than the current ones though. I like the grave guard that is like a dead marauder/chaos warrior though. The fell bat/strigoi is a cool model, but not a good depitcion of either IMO. The vamp on horse looks quite good, not sure on the positioning though. The vamp. characters in the first post are abysmal. Especially the male one. The corpse cart is taken straight from warcraft and looks kind of, urm, stupid?
The corpse cart is indeed straight from Warcraft, and I like it. If they had not made it, I would have had to make one myself instead of a black coach! ^^

They are plastic, so they should not be too expensive.

I remember when that used to be true. Takes Hat off

When I was a young lad, a boxed set was $30 Canadian.  The price has since raised 50% up to $45 dollars.

the mounted ampire lord and those grave guard are  awesome.

remember them new skeles are smaller in scale to the current ones, because human scale has went down slightly, nice to have skeles that were the right scale,
If the new Grave Guard aren't plastic, these skellies + flagellants would do that job. Happy

It's magic Wink

The horn actually looks a lot like the ones that the Tomb King musicians have (the end of it might even make a decent blunderbuss barrel).

xan i believe the new graveguard are plastic, same as the black orcs,
An improvement all round. Those Skellies look much more mucky and as if they're been freshly summoned. And that Cart screams out Nurgle Chariot.
Well I haven't seen the new skeletons IRL, but when I saw this, I knew that anyone who has to assemble a few units of these is in big trouble. Happy
Speaking of GW's new undead range, have you seen Gamezone's new zombie wolves recently? I think they rock, and I quite honestly can't understand why GW cannot reach the same level of detail, but makes such crappy comic-wolves instead...
