New 15mm Fantasy Range

There is a new range of 15mm fantasy figs that are being released. From what I can tell, it looks like it will be a very extensive range. I have recently ordered one pack of their Orcian (orcs) range. The swordsmen. I have some pics of these and wanted to do some comparison shots.

I like what I see so far.  The orcs are very detailed and there are many variants in the pack.  Some of the variations are very subtle - Just a head swap or something similar, but still an incredible amount of variants!

The figs are fairly large and bulky.  I would say that they are 1-2mm taller than most other orcs I have, and are slightly broader, but the quality of the sculpts are amazingly good.  I believe that the large size is intentional. They are meant to be the large burly orcs that are common in games now.  I like the fact that the faces aren't that cartoony GW look.

Anyway, you can look at the shots below to make some of your own conclusions.  I don't think that the size difference stands out that much.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.  I couldn't get the lighting quite right for these
