Anyone have a recommend for some good rules sets? I want to get some paratroopers and some of these guys if they have the right scale.
You either try "Rules of Engagement" or, if you are good at reading German, "Behind Omaha" http://www.behind-omaha.com/. The first one costs money and is one book and taht´s it, the second one is for free and an expanding line that soon will cover other theatres.

West Wind's Secrets of the Third Reich appear to be pretty good.
Have the books but not had a chance to play yet.
You could replace the Sci-Fi elements for just standard soldiers.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
Not sure when I'll have time to get comparison photos up anytime soon.
They're solid models, no issues that jump out at me.
I'd say that they'd fit with any other metal 28mm WW2 range that I've seen.
As far as the obligatory IG comparison goes, they would actually be about the same height as a Cadian, except most of them are slouched over a little. They're definitely slighter than Cadians.

Heh. Well, there's actually unit entries and statlines for the more "mundane" equipment from WWII in the back of the Secrets of the Third Reich book. Stuff like Sherman tanks, Panthers, etc etc.
