I did think these were quite nice actually. They're well sculpted, which is something GW seems to have forgotten how to do most the time, probably helps that they're actually sculpted and not digitally done.
I quite like the Khymerae, don't really have any use for them though. They could make quite interesting Astral Hounds for Inquisitor perhaps.

ah! Razorwings are back in 40k again, last seen in the Rogue Trader rulebook I thought they had been left out for being a kittle too silly, but I guess not. (I'll find a picture of RT Razorwing later for you guys)
I'd completely forgotten they were a RT beastie, here's the picture, happened to already have all of that book scanned in already


The accompanying flavour text isn't all that interesting. They're birds....with sharp wings....though they describe them being more like a saw blade than a razor.
EDIT: Oh bugger now we've both posted it!
The Clawed Fiend is a bit of a let down. I think the multi-eye thing doesn't really work in this case, and where the hell are his claws? Could have been an awesome model but I'm not all that convinced by it, it looks like Bigfoot in a Halloween mask.

but it's worth a note that several other aliens in the picture since then have their own miniatures and/or armies (the Ambul had a miniature in the RT era and the Necrons had their first miniatures late 2nd edition - unless you count the suspiciously Necron-like Chaos Androids) so what race might be next?
The Kroot obviously originate there too. The Hrud have seen quite a lot of attention in various side games ,they're a big favourite of the Inquisitor community, and I believe they're also mentioned in Dark Heresy (though I might be making that up).
