"Here's a gift from Emprah Claus you xeno scum!"

but yes, nicely made minis, nice work

I've been thinking of ordering some of those greatcoat troopers myself. Do you have any closeups of them? Could you do side by side with a Cadian for comparison?

Very nice. Love the sgt guy!

Liking all those, any armor following them up?

Nice.

Photos of the Paras and Great Coats from a lower angle would be appreciated....

the greatcoats fit perfectly but the heavy support box set is a smaller scale, why they messed with it is beyond me, so i would go with the the first box set. and i will post pics from eyelevel.
also the minis from pig iron fit well,

That's a shame about the heavy weapon box. Is it pretty noticeable?

The Fort took me back to childhood for a few moments (I mean that as a very high compliment)
The paint jobs were amazing, I'd love to see more

apart from the chimera all the others are magnatized so i can get more bang for my quid!
the basalisk top deck comes off so i can have an earthshaker cannon and i made a back plate so the hull becomes a recon vehicle or left off it is an open troop transport, i plan to make a fuel tank to sit in the back and mount a heavy flamer so i could have a hellhound too.
