OK, so I wanted to give this company a try :-)
My tomb kings need another sorcerer and luckily on https://www.allegro.pl (polish ebay) there was an auction (it ended up at 1,5€ :dance:)

The mini came in a blister with a big sponge (3 times thicker then GW ones). The packing is good, mini didn`t have much space to fly around the blister :bonk:

A nice surprise was an additional hand option for the mini, what wasn`t specified. It also came with a base.

The mini itself is very nicely detailed - for gaming standards. Casting was really good, there wasn`t much to clean (except one hand)

And what was the biggest surprise was the scale :banghead: It is one head taller than skeletons, vampires and typical GW stuff. Still I`m planning to use it, since it may add some variety to my band.

btw.
I`m finishing the book "Nagash the sorcerer" where it`s written that the Khemri inhabitants were bigger and taller than people from the Empire.

you may mount the model on some kind of higher ground to give it more of commanding presence and hide the difference in sizes.
eg. make it stand on a boulder, pile of rubble, or some broken statue.

Lovely sculpts, I'd relly like to see these minis on the battlefield sometimes.
