As someone that was 101st back in the day I would be remiss in not telling you that none of your troopers have their AirAssault wings on there chests.......
Oh I see. I also see you all are in Poland, that's a hefty shipping charge. I was ordering a hobby tray and a paint rack, shipping was more than the product.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the women.

Very cool. I did my marines up as 1st Cav. I used the divsion patch on one shoulder, and branch insignia/skill badges on the other (Airborne wings on assault troopers, infantry insignia on normal guys, my speeder crew has cav insignia, and the dreadnaught and some other heavy types have armor insignia).
I love using real unit names assigned to futuristic forces.
Every time a terrorist dies a Paratrooper gets his wings.

We usually charge 10-50 USD depending on the size of the package. Imho that's not so bad

Pfft. How do they expect to fight the Huns with dust on their jumpwings?

I don't know what it is, but imagining Space Marines as GI's in WWII and the Space Orcs as Nazis (I actually did a few conversions of the original Nazi Soace Marines in 1984) actually makes me interested in 40k again.
Now if we could just get GW to go along with it.
My great uncle was in the 100th Infantry in WWII, and I inherited all of his WWII memorabilia when he died.
I even have his notes from WWII actions he was in (made after the war, including his first encounter with a Tiger, which was very nearly his last - the Tiger won, but only managed to destroy the AT guns he was crewing). He was a part of the Force that had to fight its way through the Maginot and Seigfried Lines.
Amazing that the Germans managed to turn the Maginot Line almost a full 180° after D-Day.
And, it was just drop-dead luck for the 100th Infantry, and supporting British and French Troops that Hitler stupidly called for the Ardennes Offensive.
Most of the Tiger's (and other newer armor, like the Mk. VI's and VII's, were facing the souther advance, and probably could have held it off.... But, remember that Tiger than overran my Uncle's position?
Turns out that it left for the Ardennes two days later, giving up the territory it had seized, which the 100th promptly took back.
Obviously, these Space Marines are the 101st that was in Bastogne and the Ardennes ("saved" by Patton, against their wishes).
I'll have to do a set for the 100th Infantry in honor of my Uncle.
