Wonderful stuff as per usual! The mutations look ace. Only gripe is the hoods. Makes the supposedly chaotic unit look uniform. Bare heads would improve things and also let you add tentacles to noses. Tentacled noses are a must.

On bared boobs. I find them largely irrelevant. Since no other controversial body parts are showing I find it a bit strange. A bit like 80s pinup posters. But Gothic. I don't really care but I do find this hobby wide fascination with miniature breast a little odd.

They look great - I especially like the hunchback limp implied by the giant claw dude.

As for bare breasted warrior women - I think the ancient Greeks would like to claim that as a cultural archetype! Personally think it suits the unit. If people don't like it they can paint them clothed. Though for a bit of 21st C equality I would be tempted to do some bare breasted men too - though mainly for variety.

Ps. This is yet another faction that looks like it should get a 15mm release too!

Lashes - think it's partly the mace-like ends. Maybe replace those just with spiked ends, kinda like the tail on the nasties in the Alien movies? Other things that might help - undulate them a bit more to emphasise their flexibility, and have them pointing forwards (or in different directions).

Have to agree that the odd hoodless model would help break them up, not every cultist wears a hood. Maybe a gas mask/rebreather, maybe some horns for a mutant?

Yeah, looks good but would improve if some guys dropped the hood and perhaps some other type of mutation then extra limbs :)
How about a tail and some horns, or some bloated one?

I think 5 (or at least 3) machine guns would be more useful than 2 and 3 flamers. You know, for reasons...

Also, Cult of the Tig ol' Bitties.

They could be flame throwers... or they could be neutrino wands with deluxe model proton packs... perfect for polarizing, dematerializing, and subjugating all your friendly neighborhood ghosts, ghouls, and demons!

Also agree that cultists could use more hood/non-hood diversity. Maybe some in full robes as well. I'm getting a very strong shirts vs. skins team vibe going on here. Great otherwise.

I feel like I've arrived late to this party. It looks like there has been a lot of talk about boobs and mutants. That aside the new range is looking great, if a little bit too chaotic for my tastes.

So I have just seen these mutants and cultists in this range, and I'm really impressed.

I would like to give two suggestions, if that's ok.

Cover some of the boobs.

The big claw arm could drag on the ground, instead of being lifted half way up. It would show how he has to drag it behind him when he isn't whacking tanks.

What's wrong with naked boobies just paint them like cloth if you want. Personally i want the choice to cover or uncover them as i see fit.

Just my view of course no offence intended.
