Urien Rakarth is certainly going to Halloween dressed as Fabius Bile though. The similarities between the two sculpts are so blatant I'm not sure what's going on:

exotic and useless needle weapon. check.
Fancy multi-arm backpack. check.
clothes made out of a patchwork of human skin. check.
weird man-corset look. check.

Must be some sort of homage or something

the Ravager reminds me of Jabba's sail-barge (shame it doesn't come with an appropriately attired Leia)

The last Asdrubael Vect did, got to be a conversion in the making somewhere in this geeky world.

the Mandrake looks pretty cool, I'd be tempted to use it as a fantasy miniature

I was thinking the same, I was going to go along the lines of maybe some sort of chaos energy powered flesh-golem or something like that.

These are nice models and show that GW can still make good minis if they put their mind to it - however I'm sure the GW prices will put me off in the end ... which is a shame

Well for 40K.......after 12 years of development..............

That said these are definitely an improvement over some of the stuff GW has done recently, I might be tempted into buying a few warriors, possibly even the archon which would work well as a fantasy figure too. Infact the plastic parts might make for some interesting dark elf conversions seeing as the dark elves plastics are a bit 'meh'.
