What is this, three or four announcements this week?

I like 'em.

Don't they have to take that lid off their guns, before they shoot?


I'm totally not into any of these PP thingys...

[witchfire]

the leaders face reminds me of one of steeve oedecker's thumb characters

[green stuff]

Let's suppose that the picture is letting down the blue skin tone quality. Let's suppose that the painters were in a rush and didn't have time to drill the guns. Let's suppose that those little legs can support those massive torsos. What I don't get is : where in the world did the trolls' ears go???

[vincegamer]

They are like fat versions of that Earthworm Bill guy.

I quite like the sarge, and these guys have much more humor than any of the other PP stuff. If I were playing the game I'd take this faction.

[EricJ]

Is it just me, or did PP go from taking the world of miniatures a step forward, to a giant leap backward?

These look like type of concept and quality we would have seen 5 years ago, although better that those archers from last week that looked like they could have come from 10 years ago...

so I guess in a week they advanced 5 years in quality, too bad the week before they went backwards 10+ years :D

[supervike]

nah, its definately not you. I was intrigued by some of the stuff early on, but I'm bored of this stuff already....

We're just too damn fickle.

???

As far as I see it, PP never went farther than GW, and they're heding the same way.

[Ritual]

They've had some pretty cool individual characters, but that's all, IMO. These are as lackluster as the rest of the stuff they've announced this week.

[green stuff]

I admit that their character designs have "omph", but the sculpts often end up blocky and lack the design's details.

Maybe so, I don't have any PP minis so I can only judge from pictures. I'm thinking of getting a few of their Iron Kingdoms minis, but that's probably it.

trolls dont have ears (or nose ) in the Iron Kingdoms

they seem to be close to frogs biologicaly speaking

[green stuff]

I don't want to sound nerdy, but frogs have nostrils and an ear system (even if they don't have the pavillon, you can see the tympanium) :

Are trolls in the Iron Kingdoms deaf???

[Spacemunkie]

Who cares about ears?

I quite like these. Wouldn't want a whole box of them, but I do like the cigar smoking sarge. :)

[Drake Farstrider]

I like them, they have a kinda cartoony feel to them. They would of benifited from having the barrels dilled out. Keep them comming. I am glad that they don't look like everyone elses Trolls.

[LeadAsbestos]

I still like the trolls too. If I was to start Hordes, either these guys or the shark-looking things.

I still love the Khador stuff. The best Warjacks, great mock-Russian theme. Warmachine is one of the few games that I actually played as well. PP is doing something right, just not all things...

Overall a would say they have had hits on a very large majority of their stuff. I personally have not bought anything from them, but I love the warjacks. :rockon:

[Nathan Caroland]

I've purchased a few things here and there from PP, mainly characters, I think the problem some folks are finding are the rank and file troops which might not have as much character or style to them. This bunch here I actually do like, though as stated, the guns could have been drilled. The Sarge seems to be the best out of them in general.
