Servicable.  Hell, I'd probably just leave them with that paint job for my hoards that I don't actually feel like painting individually.The quality of the miniatures is pretty hit and miss though.  I was impressed with the little Lidda figure, the Drow figure with bow (I have the metal version, and I'm VERY pleased they are recasting these from CM), and the Wight.  I was boggled, however, at how blah the Kuo-Toa looks, and how utterly little thought went into that elder Fire elemental.  I was VERY surprised at seeing that Fire Elemental standing there so.. Boring.. Just seems to be no life in that model at all.It was hard to tell, but I think that Werewolf is suffering from the 'Insanely massive head with iiiiiiitttty bitty lil' legs' syndrome that most 'creature' types seem to suffer from.  CM did great Gnolls, with heads the right proportion to the bodies.. I can't stand models depicting 'critter' types with skulls that giants could use to crack open houses with.  It is NOT that hard to make a werewolf/gnoll/whatever that doesn't look lanky as hell with a big ol' snarling head...Sort of reminds me of those weird dragon things from MK that a friend of mine and I saw at the local game store in a case. The only comment we both came up with was "Whoa.. It's like.. All head!"But for the most part, pretty dern interesting looking.  I'll reserve final judgement when they release more detailed photos later on.</blockquote>
