Going by the fluff ( lifted from their site link ):

Ghouls impale themselves with vicious spikes and deadly barbs, working themselves up into such a blood frenzy that they can shrug off most fatal wounds.

Do you leave the spikes on or chop them off?

Any pictures you care to share?

Thanks in advance

I plan to cut them off. I have not yet.

I was just putting some together this past week. I cut them off.

I'm like Thomas. Going to but haven't.

I picked up a box to be my "ragers" for zombie games. Quickly snipped all the spikes.

Cheers, Xin

I'll leave them in. I'm not using them for that fluff, but mixing them with a pack of mantic zombies for general use as zombies/reavers/mutants/etc…

Are they useful for none fantasy gaming? post apoc perhaps.

They don't really look like undead ghouls. With the right paintjobs they could easily be used as wasteland mutants, space reavers, etc.

Saw them for the first time last week (freebie sprue with a magazine) They don't fit my image of ghouls, more like zombies IMHO.

I'd be cutting the spikes off. Daft idea.

They are great in combo with the Z's as genre free undead.

Oh, and I cut the spikes off.
