PRETTY COOL STUFF! The Citadel mini makers can still turn out some VERY IMAGINATIVE thingys...when they escape the tyranny of the rules writers. Pricewise Citadel isn't far off the mark in comparison to quite a number of other folk...it's their paints & accessories that are horrendously over priced. Thanks for the post, Saul.

Very nice miniatures indeed! Great for Mordheim. Kislev players have no longer problem with bear!
Compared to new WHFB rulebook and other new things they are very cheap...

FINALLY!! I have been waiting for these minis for a long time! Good to see them released at last. This will be the first GW purchase in a looooong time.

EDIT: Ther Merchant & Scribe set is so perfect for the BTB Merchant Caravan it's spooky. These models are THE Merchant + Assistant models. Love them!

...I get the vague impression that our cianty MIGHT be just a tad excited about this one.

Absolutely!

Is it just me, or does the Bear handler look like Arthur Weasley from the Harry Potter films?

You're right

I love the scribe... Will have to get these at some point.

Now if only G.W would spend more time on stuff like this I'd be very happy.

Hey !!!
Great minis !!!

I want the Pistolier and the duellist !!

Vall'

These are some really nice minis, and will also be my first GW purchase in a long time!

If they sold well I think they might!

Amassed attack of Kislev bands is to be expected very soon!



My favourites are definitely Merchant & Scribe .

"Arthur" and his Drumming Bear are definitely the most Mordheim of the lot!


Any one have a copy of Blood on the Reik?













Some of these guys look familiar!

Hey, now that you show the sketches: Where is the rat-cathcer?? I remember the previewed master model at it was cool. I want it too!

The left duelist will make an excellent Witch Hunter! It are nice releases, hope they will make more like them!

But metal.
But why?

Metal minis are MUCH less expense to get into production than plastic; if GW is figuring the risks, it might be wiser to go with a metal mini than losing the production cost of plastic should sales be low...they get their production costs back with less minis sold.

Although Al's reason is most likely the actual one it should also be pointed out that you just can't sell plastic minis as limited special figures. Metal is still the true material for many people and the only alternative would be resin, which would be too expensive, although it would hold the detail best. GW surely isn't expecting much from these figures in terms of sales and they are probably right. For me personally, I'd prefer plastic though as it is the easiest to convert and colour doesn't chip off as easily as on metal figures.

I want that pistol Duelist.

It's about damn time these models finally came out!!!! IIRC, they have been on warseer since something like 2007?!?!?! I've been looking forwards to these for years!

If they were readily available, I think I'd probably spring for all of them...EXCELLENT looking minis, at least from the photos. Out of curiosity, what do they go for?

They are online purchase only I think.

For the rest of the world the GW website set to your location will help you:

Thanks, Saul. While they're not exactly cheap, the prices are inline with minis from Freebooter et al.

These are great. The bear has made me start a Kislev warband today.

Are they only available for a certain time though?
