OK, I put in an order with Old Crow models recently, and it arrived. It was a little slow, but they have a disclaimer on the main page indicating they are backed up, so fair enough - no harm, no foul.

Here's a terminator with one of their assault cannons:



Please note this terminator was one of the first models I did and the paint job is pretty poor. The AC is a good match as far as caliber goes for infantry, but will look too small on vehicles, I think. Maybe OK on a land speeder. Good base for a scratchbuilt terminator AC.

Here is Sgt. Telion with some Old Crow gunbarrels:



I never understood why the Space Marine's premier sniper is holding a standard boltgun, so I wound up adding a barrel extension out of brass rod with a suppressor out of a coffee stirrer. The scope is from a devastator lascannon. I'm kind of digressing here; point is, if you wanted to mod your own Telion, some of these bases would make a good barrel extension, imo.

As so:



Here's an Old Crow Splinter with a landspeeder:



Good matchup on size. Scalewise I think it's maybe too small for marines, but I plan on using as a terrain piece\objective anyway. If you're doing a homebrew army that's counts-as space marines, it's nearly an exact size match, and at 9 bucks pretty cheap.

And, the one I cared the most about: the multi-missile turret for making a cheap Whirlwind. Here it is on a WIP Rhino:





The collet, as you can see, is too big to fit in the turret ring for a oem whirlwind\predator. The scale is a very good match, but I think the actual missiles look maybe a little too small for 40k. Of course, in the real world, they're about right, but of course in the grimdark world of 40k, the smallest caliber is "canned ham" - kinda screws up otherwise good matches. I'm going to go with them as is.

They also make, among their many turrets, one with larger missiles which would probably make a better Whirlwind match.

Overall, the quality is quite nice with Old Crow: the resin is very smooth, no air bubbles, minimal flash, and well packed. I'd give them the thumbs up on both price and quality.

I've also got an order in with Bitspudlo, and hope to update this thread soon with some of their stuff.

This was/is very useful, and thank you.

That assault cannon is exactly like the pewter one off of GW's website.

Edit:...did not look at the whole picture, haha.

Been looking for reference pics for old crow, thanks!
