Yes it's a bit of a pity they don't sell the riders seperately!
Perhaps I should lookout for a chaos demon player and see if we can buy them together and split the riders (for me) and the stingrays (screamers for chaos) for him.

The death dancers are stunning, as are the chariots (although I'm not too sure about the wheels, the cold ones are incredible, and the heads are slightly reminiscent of the creatures from Pitch Black)
And then there's the Lust Elves Spider Mother - Oh yes! That would be a perfect centrepiece for my Drow army project, sort like a Warshrine of Lolth or something (assuming I ever actually start building up that army)

Yes, oh yes, please! I can't wait to get my hands on these models. I wonder if the mounted Kashala model can be separate from the mantichore? I can so picture her on a dragon... or any other monster, really.
Plantagenet: We have already suggested this with Marchosias, I think some negotiation is going on. Imagine if 9th Age made rules to go with some of those huge things, wouldn't that be awesome?
RH really look to be pushing the envelop with these models so kudos where its deserved. However, elves should not have ears longer than bunny rabbits. Those coven 'things' that are supposed to represent high heels are a crime against not only physics but remove credibility too: move the toes to in front of the ankles at the very least RH!
Well as a woman with something of a self-confessed shoe fetish, I rather like the high heels thing, and some of those look like bdsm ballet boots (showing my Slaaneshi credentials there LOL). Totally agree about the ears though - if those ears get any bigger, these girls could go hang-gliding, like the elves in world of warcraft

I've always figured that elven women, unlike mere humans, can balance perfectly on their toes and fight in stiletto heels without wrecking their feet. Servants of Slaanesh could easily be given that same ability. And really sharp stiletto heels could be used as improvised weapons (see Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises for example).
I don't really mind the ears, either. At 28mm scale, some features need to be exaggerated, or you can't tell they're there. So basically big pointy ears exist for the same reason as boobplate chest armour.

These miniatures, as always, look very impressive. What I particularly like about this batch is that they look more aggressive and vicious. Their older models would sometimes like burlesque models posing with props. But they seem to gradually improve on that department and make the models look ever more fierce. So definitely a thumbs up in improved style from me.
That said, I still think the sexual aspect is emphasized a tad too much for my personal taste. I mean they look amazing, but it's not my cup of tea. I'd love to have more warrior women in my army, but in spite of fantasy armour I'd still prefer it to look somewhat functional
I love me a bowl of numbers to crunch for breakfast. If you need anything theoryhammered, I gladly take requests.

I agree some what here. I don't really want to have a whole army of mostly naked elves. I have enough witch elves and Juan Diaz daemonettes already if I so fancy. However my choice in miniatures are the ones that look more functional than sexualised, these however have not been shared as yet. I plan to use these as a basis to my army, both elites with Halberds and core with spears (crossbows - not in the picture). Top couple of units on the below concept art.
Then mix in some of these add ons to have dual gender units.
Then I will be mixing in the Cold One chariots and Knights with a splash of character models.
