Nice stuff! I've just started work on mine. I'll post pics when they're done. I'm putting mine on conventional 25mm bases, though.

Excellent reviews. Definitely some of the most in-depth information about these figs that I've yet seen.
I originally had no interest in the MULE's at all, but now that I see them , I think they'd look great on any sci-fi tabletop, even if only as terrain.

I'm back with a little progress on my warthog conversion. I've now got an A-Driver finished and the gunner with dual machine guns in the mock up stage. More pics and info on my blog:

That is the coolest thing by a longshot.
Did you order any of their transports?

Wow! They go really well in that Warthog. Is that the MacFarlance toy that was released last year?
@Mathieu - If you mean the Mules, I got two of them. I'm putting off assembling and painting them, though, until I've done at least half of my 20 troopers.

Thanks! No I didn't pledge for the DFG vehicles. The render's just looked too big for tabletop duty and the lead time looked too long. I guess my sense of proportion has been skewed by too many years looking at 40K vehicles that are too small (rhinos and space marines).

Thanks, but it's not a perfect fit. You can't see it from the pics but the helmets from the driver and A-driver stick up above the roll bar just a little. If I do any more I'll try to either cut down the seat cushions or the torso to get them to fit better. The warthog is a Mcfarlane toy, but not the Micro Ops one from last year. It's from 2008 I believe, I'll see if I can find the link. They are OOP but still available. I've seen a number of IG versions as well.
I believe that Mathieu was referring to the DreamForge APC (Sd.Kfz-K3 Keilerkopf) slated for release with the other kickstarter wave three items.
EDIT:
OK, here's the link for the Warthog. You can still find them on ebay and Amazon:
http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3381
Here's a link to the DFG APC blog post. It looks cool and all but at 7.25" x 3.25" x 2.25" that's closing on the same size as a land raider:

Oh, yes. I forgot about that transport. Didn't fancy the retro look, myself.
Thanks for the links!

I didn't fancy the look either, until he showed us the Zeus version. It would make for a wonderful Basilisk... if only that tank wasn't already too fragile and this one being so hard to hide behind cover.
I'm done painting 15 of my guys, but now I have to take a break for classes and painting owed to friends. :(
