Ouch the first two models are pretty atrocious. They look incredibly flat to me too, particularly the legs on in the first picture, really sub-par compared to what GW have done in the past. Neither of them make convincing monsters, I'm not sure why GW keep taking more and more steps backwards with their model design.

The skeletons riding the giant skeletal cobras just look ridiculous: the ballance is all wrong, and their weapons are to short to actually hit anyone from the height they're at. Just a bad design. I do however agree that the serpentmen alternative looks a little better, though I'd still want to replace the ends of the tails and the heads at the very least. I might be persuaded to buy the bits to make these, maybe with saurus heads, from a bits retailer. No way would I buy a box of them for £33.50 (nearly choked!) for three models.

The tomb guard look pretty good, I'd probably get a few (again through buying just the bits) if I ever wanted to do some Khemri themed undead.
