The initial reaction (on the PP forum) was incredibly negative So....business as usual for the old forums then?

I'd say maybe a third of the community like them, third don't mind them but don't like them either and a final third activley hate them.
Which is far worse than most other factions.

[...] like Dr. Arkadius performed experiments on Smurfs [...] Please please please PP make this the next new faction!

This sounds about like what I have seen, too. And although it's not definitive, this forum's poll suggests negativity as well. lormahordes.freeforums.net/thread/1574/grymkinEdit to add: On-topic, the varied paint scheme does partly remove the "red-vs-blue" aspect of tabletop warfare... very quickly identifying at a distance whose team is whose. (But yeah, they could indeed just be painted by the owner with some degree of uniformity.)

With exception of Cygnar of course, which runs down more like "Cygnar players like cygnar, and everyone else actively hate them."

More like cygnar players love them. 1/3 of the community hate them with a passion and everyone else is like "ughhh w/e cygnar"

This is where I'm at as well. The models are fantastic (and with the latest War Room update their game play is appealing too) but they just look really out of place when compared to any of the other factions. This is in no way meant to criticize PP for the release. Simply my explanation as to why I am not interested in purchasing anything from the Grymkin faction.

That's exactly what I think about Retribution and Convergence...

I plan to paint my in Greyscale except for red in their eyes. I want them to look like something out of a horror movie.

I painted my Guild Ball Morticians in b/w and it works ok (esp with graveyard bases), but you'll need something more to make it pop. Look at Sin City.

I've always thought the Grymkin were Firetrucking stupid looking but that green flame scheme is actually pretty sweet. It helps that it is only showing the models I like in the picture. Kinda makes me wonder if I can paint Grymkin I'd like, because the punkinheads and hollowmen are cool.

I know some peeps don't like that disjointed ragtag look of grymkin but to me it's a selling point.
I love the Mish mash of nightmares that is grymkin.
When it comes to factions I think is out of place, space elves (ret). What are they even doing here. Totally throws off the vibe of warmachine too me. It feels like I'm playing against a 40k army.
