Hey guys I saw the system troopers made by Pig Iron Productions, I instantly fell in love with them. They use 28mm bases. They look really cool and I was thinking of buying some for squads in my imperial guard army. Could they be fielded for Warhammer 40k? Here's a link to their website and the page of the System Troopers Basic Infantry: http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/st1-system-troopers-basic-infantry-p-49.html

Comment guys! I really want your opinions!

Pretty standard counts-as. You wouldn't be able to use them in a GW official event because they're not GW models, and some people might be sticklers and not let you use them for the same reason. Most people aren't dicks though, and I doubt you'd run into a problem. The only prohibiting factor is cost.

I don't even have a GW in my state! So I won't be going to any GW offical events. I would probably run them either as Vets with Carapace Armor or Kaskins. My club doesn't really care I don't think. I think the people at my club would like them

Wait, are you in Hawaii, because they don't have a GW store.

I would let you use those if I ran an official GW event, though because they're so friggin awesome!

I live in Massachusetts. They closed the GW store back in 09. I know right, the models look cooler than the GW imperial guardsmen models!

Yes, you can.

I do.

GW model restrictions are irrelevant here.
Only 12 year olds play at the local GW (and now that the pub next door has closed, there's even less of a reason to go there).
GW don't run tournaments - haven't for three or more years.
GW don't even do prize support for tournaments anymore - so any need to kowtow or forelock tug and abide by their restrictions in exchange for prizes is also irrelevant.

I kinda feel sorry for you OS dudes who haven't thrown off the shackles yet.

I like they're bits. I'll always lament that GW took away their better bitz orders with that crap they have now. I've been eyeing a couple other bits from other producers to bash into some imperial guard units, maybe turn them into some Adeptus Arbites...

I love the way these troopers look, if I bought them they would stand out from the crowd.

Using Pig Iron is pretty standard for IG players who don't have to care about GW store restrictions.
