I haven't got the faintest clue what these are! And if it's GW I reckon ignorance is bliss.

I bought the easy build Banshees and Stalkers at the weekend. They are stunning models and really not too expensive. They are for Dragon Rampant though, I'm not playing Age of Suckmar again. Pitted against my Lion Rampant Medievals with a Wizard or two on either side they should do the job.

Just buy some 28mm SYW.

It will be much cheaper and you won’t have to start listening to terrible rock music and wearing stained black t shirts with skulled bands on called things like ‘Deathc***’

all bad advice. Buy the nighthaunts. And because they are well sculpted ghosty things you can get fantastically easy effects with some simple washes.

How very DARE you!
I won’t have a word said against Deathc***.

Apropos the figures, though.... why not?
For Dragon Rampant, you only need half a dozen of each sort, so it matters little if they’re priced like cancer drugs, and you’re not buying into the fluff so it’s no skin off your nose when GW drop that line like a disgraced tv presenter and never mention them again.
