If the look of the teams is just like that thrower, I'll look forward to it.

Well it's no rumour that all the teams will be redone, but certainly not by the year's end. Maybe the Humans, with the Skaven next year.

Considering the fact that they had the new SW Dwarfs in metal in oktober 2002 (or around that time somewhere) and they are not coming out until 2005, I wouldn't hold my breath.

This guy looks quite nice, though. Only remark I can make is that his left hand seems really small

There is no thing as too many spikes! Removing them is easy if you prefer a less spikey look. Adding them can be a pain. So although, i'm not a big fan of too many spikes, i'll prefer to remove some.

I'd bet that's got more than a little to do with getting something other than house rules out for them. After all they appeared at about the same time as Griff, Varag and the new mino, all of which are out now.

I like the fig BTW.

damn i was going to make a human team out of the Vampire Thrall models, but now i'm gonna wait for the new humans i guess.

hum impossible to bend the left arm

did they do only one model or different pose for each position ?

The plan is that the new teams from now on will have 16 mini's, all individuals. So this should be the first of 2 throwers.

Oh Hell if that is true I better start saving money for the new human teambox i hope it will be cheaper then an armydeal though

Edit on my last post, not really 16 but close to it, all positionals will be different and 2-3 different linemen. Also all positionals will be identifiable as what they are.

Really like that, if the whole team looks like that then i'll be very happy and slightly out of pocket! I think it hits the right balance between the fantasy and sports look.

Good news about the amount of figs too, I'm looking forward to a proper 16 man squad with maxed out positionals.

I think part of the reason it looks awkard is the arm holding the ball. To me, the ball looks backwards... maybe if it were more sideways, like in the pics Skummy posted, it would look better.

Overall, though, I like it. The spiky elbow is that last minuite protection before he get's taken down.

I think i love men

New human team can only be great if similar quality to this figure. brilliant to see a selection of players to max a team. would like to see an end to just 2linemen for 10 players in a squad.

Just had a thought about the new teams. Are they going to be realeased one at a time as produced or do we have to wait until they are all finished?

I hope one at a time as that gives me a chance to buy the ones I like and save up for the next release. Looking forward to this team at least
