Just a little observation to share really.
Looking at the leg poses and the torsos of the models, it looks like there will be at least two boxed sets of plastic infantry.
There are leg/torso doubling up in the Immortals (with two weapon options) and the Deathmarks, so im expecting them to be a boxed set. From the pictures probably of five. From GW's pricing probably about £25
The Lych Guard and Triarch Praetorians have very different collars, however, legs torso and weapons are still the same (just the stabby/zappy bit on the end that changes). Again probably five to a box for £25
Just found more pictures with more weapon variants for these models. Could be more expensive...
If Immortals and Deatmarks are troops, I would expect them to be cheaper than the Lych/Triarch's (see Empire Greatswords/state troops). GW put a premium on elite models.
The Flayed ones look like they have the 2D thing going on for them (as in one or two piece moulds rather than multi-part plastics), so I would hazard a guess they will be finecast. Also top left and bottom right ones look like they have too much fine detail on them to be plastic. Sorry. Price em up same as the mandrakes.
The two special characters (Imotekh and Trazyn) and the Overlord on the left look finecast. The Overlord on the right looks like the one from the plastic Command barge (like the guy you get spare from the baneblade).
So these are my thoughts. Generally really nice and well made models but not particularly inspired and not alot of variation from Kit to kit, let alone within the same boxes. Your free to draw your own conclusions and pull mine apart.
Also, thankyou Eldargal for sharing the linky and the pics.
