How big are the starship troopers figures in comparison to 40k models?

They are slightly taller but otherwise they work

They are also thinner then GWs Cadians. Especially the arms.
If you are going to use them you will want to pick up las-guns for a bits ordering site.
Also the plastic that is used for SST is harder then GWs Makes it more of a pain to work with.

I got some MI a few years ago when I was thinking of doing a Firefly skirmish / roleplay game.
The figs I got were mostly terrible casts & I sent them back & got a refund.
If you're going to buy I suggest using either a very good website with a decent refund policy or from a shop when you can open up the box & check them there & then.

Does anyone know if Mongoose actually got around to releasing the Klendathu campaign book and MI conscript(movie MI) models before SST went under?

Can you still pick the,m up? Ive really wanted to grab some of their bugs, but knowhere seems to sell them :(

Amazon.com has the hoppers and some of the marauders, and every now and then other sst things pop up.

The movie "light infantry" got released.
Don't know about the planet K book.

I have the light infantry, MI veterans, Roughnecks and a couple of boxes of the k-9 pathfinders in my collection. The k-9 pathfinders are MI with metal heads and packs and come with metal bionically enhanced doggies (neodogs) but are otherwise identical to the regular MI box.

Do they come with 25mm bases or some other size?

25mm, just like the MI troopers.

Even the doggies come with 25mm bases.

They just look like the movie ST, rather than the cartoon ones.

thanks for answering my questions. I have built 39 and will post some pics of them
