Casting quality is key too. Been burned too many times from excitement over great greens which ended being undefined metal lumps.

I have made sure, before anything else to get a very good caster on board. I have seen many miniatures cast by this company (it is their bread & butter) and judging by their past work I can be absolutely certain the final product will be great quality.

I voted other. I'd be interested in a Slaan team, but I already have the Greebo/Rolljordan Horned Frog team, which I really like.

I think Dark Elves are one of the most under-represented races in terms of sculpts from 3rd parties. So I'd love to see a new Dark Elf team.

A little bit too much Spiderwick Chronicles about the artwork for my taste. (Don't get me wrong, I love Tony DiTerlizzi's style, and this artwork looks great as well.) Personally I was just hoping for at bit less frog and a bit more reptile. I like and own Roll Jordan's slann team, and they are very much froggy. Here I was hoping for something more oldskool like the previously mentioned:

To me, Axioms slann team catches the essence of what I was hoping for (without having to carve up old and rare miniatures :blue: ):

I love the concept! Looks like Jes Goodwin's Pro elf blitzer turned to a toad. If the rest is just as good, you have a customer.

Would have preferred a more "skinnier" look, a la 2nd ed, but the sketch still looks like it's going to be better than any other Slann on the market atm.

I like the general look, but would prefer it skinnier and with a smaller head.

But the other seems to like it, so who am I to complain. You can't please all anyway.

Yes, that's the thing I am having to accept as I've developed the project with Pedro. I am happy with the results now though and have been very pleased with the responses so far :)
