Thoughts

I already knew from the images on the site that the miniatures were dynamically posed and included many of the popular zombie stereotypes. Generally speaking the sculpting style is a realistic, refined style and this seems to work well enough with the theme.

Conclusions are a bit mixed. If you like zombies, then this range is probably of interest to you. They have bags of character which makes up for what they might still be lacking in the fact there are no bases - and I really feel these need slottabases.

The main issue for most people will be scale. They are so nice that they actually don't "mesh" well with zombies from other lines quite perfectly.

I really like these... Dane of War is "the" zombie site, especially when it relates to zombie minis, so they are an excellent edition to my collection.
