I can't stand 54mm for gaming - no matter how sweet they can be painted and the detail, they're just too big to do more than tiny close in skirmishes with.
That said, I'm probably still going to buy some....

Hmmmm.....just noticed something *very* concerning to me. It says there's 5 factions. FIVE????

Imperial
Capitol
Bauhaus
Mishima
Cybertronic
Dark Legion
Brotherhood
Tribes

Wonder who is getting the axe?

if I had to guess, I'd say Tribes, Mishima, and maybe even Imperial...

my guess is based on the comics, in which the main characters were Mitch, Valerie, Max, Big Bob, Crenshaw, and Golotha...but I don't remember an Imperial character being featured in the comic (if there was, it would have been Murdoch)...

but that's only an uneducated guess...

The look okay, but they've strayed too far from the familiar. 

Not interested-I hate the "collectable" factor and frankly 54mm is too to start cranking out terrain for.

-> pritty much what most thought before..

for me, 54  mm is also too close to action figures.

what veez said, it is also simply to big.. inquisitor did not catch on, as well!
no one can play it because of terrain/game area size..

-> 54 mm .. this type of gaming is not for the WG purist..  :(

I don't like them. The Mitch Hunter figure looks like he has a smaller head than should be, and Alakhai looks like a Tyranid. If they're 54-56 mm, imagine the size of the Pretorian Behemoth.

A Warzone prodcut I will not be bothering with at all. The scale, combined with the collecting aspect, and the medicore models... It's a washout from concept to execution with me. I'd wish them luck and all but I still want my 28mm wargame back in official action. Call me bitter if you must.

I feel the same way.  No way they'll get my hard-earned coin.

that's a good game with some really good minis, for prepainted ones...I am going to get some of the Human soldiers and use them as proxies for Imperial Regulars...
