The prepaints look sweet, but Im thinking the price will go up on them.  Im buying up the older models now to get a large enough force to only buy what I "need" when the new stuff comes out.

By the by, I think PP (Prepainted) will become the thing of the future.  Think other companies will follow suit?

I'm sure a few will follow, but there will always be people that are primarily in this for the modeling aspect, so they will hate prepainted figures. I bought a box of arachnid warriors just to model them. I haven't gotten around t it, but it looks good.

All the ones I was interested in sold out at my FLGS months ago, and they are not going to restock until the upgrade is released.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

i have 4 boxes of the plastic human soldiers(don't remember their name) i was going to use them for a 40k imperial guard conversion, but lost interest. i only opened 1 box to see what they were like on the sprue. i would be interested in trading or selling them just PM me if anyone is interested. i know some one will say this post should be in swap shop but figure it will do the most good @ this sight.

For converting, they are definitely off-scale from GW
