They do look really great models. I have a charging chaos champion and an anointed standard beaer on the way. Will post some pics when they arrive.

Some of those models are excellent. I only looked at the Chaos ones but they look great and would fit in seamlessly into existing GW based armies.

I have one of their Vampires. Much better than the GW ones in detail and pose.

Some great stuff there. A bit pricey for building large units of horde troops though.
I am tempted by a couple of models!

I found Malestrom a couple of days ago, mainly because they are one of the very few companies who stock and will post Army Painter coloured sprays.
I'm thinking of doing either some undead or orcs, and these + Strong shade (which they stock) paint them easily.

new product is top of my list presently. Atm im sourcing the plasticard and gf9 templates, and will continue to add more.

plz, keep the ideas coming. they will not go amiss

Army painter stuff would be nice

Finally my models turned up! Bit of a delay getting them as the order seemed to get 'forgotten' and spent an extra week 'processing' until I nudged them. However after the nudge the goods turned up quickly. The models are great. I ordered an annointed knight, who looks suprisingly like a nurgle champion, and will look great as a battle standard bearer. Also a charging armoured chaos champion. There are pro's and cons:

Cons:
The models are a little expensive for what you get. The models are about 28mm scale, which look slightly smaller next to the scale of the altest GW chaos models, but not enough to stop them working well together. The casting of the models is a little untidy, reminding me of the casting from GW a few years ago. Also the parts don't fit beautifully either. (Nothing a little epoxy resin and green stuff or milliput can't put right.) They are also quite 'dirty' showing heat marks and release material on the casts. (Also easily cleaned.)

PROs:
The models are beautifully carved and show great movement. They look really gothic - as with the vikings in 'Pathfinder.' As speciality models in a fantasy army they make great centre pieces.

OVERALL:
While there's an extensive list of negs above I have to say that I'd buy again. The models are great! really nicely sculpted and very characterful and this offsets the negs. Anyone with average skills as a modeller can easily ofset the negs, and the price in line with the role of the models of the force can easily offset the expense.

Well worth the quids overall.

These guys sell the range too: http://www.drgamingsupplies.co.uk/home.php

KInG, did you ever look into stocking these? I've just been browsing the DR Gaming collection and I'm very impressed with the range and am seriously considering getting some to add to my existing armies and the ones I'm planning next year.
