I like them, if I expand my itty-bitty Slaanesh 40k army I might use some of these.

Not bad, like the prospect of less-static poses, Daemonettes are crippled by having to rank-up for fantasy. Like the weirdly mannequinish biceps.

I like the prospect of the previous Blood Vestals for the possibility of converting them to become Wych/Bloodbride models however this batch of gals might be harder to convert. But like Eldargal says you could convert them to become Daemonettes.

I kinda like them, but I don't like how similar they are to the Blood Vestals. They look like mutant blood vestals to me and aren't distinctive enough for my liking.

Oooh, I may have to order a box of the Mantis Warriors; I just painted up a unit of the old Juan Diaz metal Daemonettes, and another 5 poses or so to keep things visually interesting would be nice.

I would like to see the rest but Raging Heroes is making some awesome stuff. I hope GW does not decide to buy them out or something.

Funny you should mention it actually, when we were voting for grand prize for our next WFB tournament one of the (anonymous) suggestions was 'Eldargal in Blood Vestal costume for the day', but it was vetoed by one of the married girls.

Not that I'd have done it anyway, some of those boys are well under 16.
