This is a unit I did for a charity auction. The winner could have a 5 man unit/squad painted to a table top standard. He sent me these shadow warriors. I can't say I love the models as the details are kinda pulled/pushed like the molds are older. However, someone told me they just came out with the most recent Army book release.
