Intriguing.
Wonder how the box set will work with zombies and skeletons. Maybe a choice?

These are also a bit more practical looking than say the Skaven (as much as I love the models). Less one footed going by the ghouls and the lights. Ok the mummy is one footed but I don't mind a few going that way.

Love them.

Well, I guessed wrong on that one, but happy to see these.

Stockier Mummy mini is very sweet.
Ghoul mini looks way more interesting to me.
The Wraith mini though, is the best by far. Has a bit of a nod to the old, which was one of my fave BB minis.

Hmm, if there is only 1 Ghoul....that's a lot of boxes to buy.

I love the look of these! Assuming it will be a slightly more expensive 14 player box it will also be great value, since those skeletons convert nicely into ghouls (I prefer the one on the right side of the top row). A bit of greenstuff to model a stomach, some miliput to lessen the recesses on the arms, legs, and ribcages to make it look like streched skin and you're good to go. One box with all the players you need for a competetive team.

Very exciting to see the Undead factions finally getting some representation, and they look absolutely stunning. Probably my favorite team so far. It will be interesting to see how these are sold. I wonder if there will be two sprues of 7? Or will the mummies be in separate box like the ogre and troll?

I would guess each sprue will be Wight, Ghoul, 2x zombie, 2x Skeleton and the Mummies on the side in plastic as the Ogre so they can be bigger/bulkier, hopefully 2x in one box. 2 teams needs mummies (or mummy proxies) and they are a must (unlike assassins, Star players, etc) so would be surprised to see them trough FW

i like the team apart from the mummy, it looks far too mobile, doesnt really look right to me in anyway tbh.

I'll be very disappointed if these are the only sculpts we get for the team though, alt versions of all the players are desperately needed

If it is 14 players for 20£ then it is as good as it gets. I don’t mind the lack of poses in a 20£ box. They can just add blister packs as for humans through FW (2 ghouls, mummy, whight)

From the video, it looks like there are two heads for the mummy. I agree, the Mummies really shouldn't be running, unless they are getting a move increase. I can probably live with it, but might look into the possibility of a leg swap.

I also think this is one of the best paint jobs I've seen from GW on the Blood Bowl minis. I know it's pretty basic, but I really like the black with the fire trim.

Yea, I think a FW pack with 2 Ghouls, 1 Wight, and 1 Mummy would round this team out quite nicely. Here's hoping!

Edit: Should be a really nice Spike! Magazine edition too! Wonder what Star Players will be cropping up?

The mummies aren't actually running, they are failing GFIs and falling :P

I like these a lot. Nice balance of a 'classic' design and the sportier approach of the newer teams. The posing on the Mummy seems to be divisive but personally no problem with it.

The Spike! issue should be a gem.

By the gods that aren't, and Nuffle's crotch: no....

These fidgety, spikey abominations actually make third edition look more respectable... admittedly, much in the same way rap makes country music seem better.... :P
