If someone offered to buy you one range from the sci fi or fantasy section which one would you choose and why. (purely a rhetorical question  :D :D :D)
Me it would be the hill dwarves. ALthough not a dwarf player I do like the sculpts on these, especially the beserkers. (To be honest I am more a wood elf type but unfortunately the cavalry put me off, to me the horses shouldnt be caprisoned  and it llooks wrong, probably too long, but I do love the infantry  :D :D :D)
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Just coincidence that it has one of the largest amount of codes as well?!   :D

I'd probably go for something a bit more random, like the Samurai Apes, although I've always been a fan of Dark Elves, ever since Drizzt Do'Urden....

I'm with you on the Dwarves and Wood Elves, Maenoferren.

Health and Safety would have a field day with those wood elves riding horses wearing a 'trip hazard'. But other than that the range is good with the right weaponry and none of the wrong stuff.
And I do like the dwarf berserkers.

I like the Orcs but have never been keen on boars. For me goblins and orcs should be on wolves.

In the end I think it has to be the Night Orcs....though could do with a bit more variation.

Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Already have some Samurai apes ... but like them too... see instead of getting one I am asking for two now (metaphorically speaking of course)

Probably Hill Dwarves for me too I think...the first WFB army I ever had was stunties...love 'em

Mind you, if there was a Chaos Warrior army..hmm, perhaps I should dive over to the Requests board  8)

Wouldn't these be lovely in 10mm?

There's a bit of a reccuring theme going on here, as Hill Dwarves would be high on my list too ......... I bought one pack of them many years ago, and fully intended to get more, but got side tracked =) Now I'm back on the 10mm kick, I can see it happening in the not to distant future.

Tough call though - I really like the Late Romans too ...... :-\

Fraid I'd take a mix of Fantasy/Ancient/Medieval/Rennaisance - and do somthing semi - historical. If forced onto fantasy maybe Rats or Orcs.

Course I WANT BEARS........

Probably Dwarves in some form or other.

Lot of love for the Hill Dwarves here!  I've actually got an addition to that range sat here, just needs a bit of finishing off first.  My first foray into sculpting/conversions!

I'll dig it out, it's a bit of Dwarven mechanisation...
