Mine didn't flinch much. one quid per model is certainly acceptable. If there are deals later on I'll be super happy though.
I relaly am impressed with these. They are almost exactly what i want, except for the guns which are a little bit blocky, but not as bad as I feared, and definitely something i would be happy buying.

One quid a model is really, really good. Even if the 10 man troop boxes end up at less than 20 quid I'll be happy.
Here's hoping individual squads of 10 will be priced close to the wraiths made of the same material.

Mostly good, some bad (the heavy weapon trooper looks really awkward).

The pose is awkward, but the detail is fantastic. I'm going to put the model on a small, but simple raised piece of dirt, so that the weapon is a bit above him, and I think it will go quite far in making his pose look much more realistic. I may also have to remove the hands from the weapon mount, and re-position those.

The gunner's pose seems to be the same legs and torso as the spotter with different arms (and a different head) attached. I don't think it'll look as akward in anything other than a side profile shot. They probably should have done a 45 degree angle from the front picture for that one.

Oh my word they are awesome. The detail is great, far better than I expected. I think these are by far some of the best sculpts by mantic, especially the general. I'm pretty glad I haven't rushed into warpath yet and have waited to see what they did with these guys anyone ordered some yet? The £150 deal looks really rather tempting :p
