I was rooting around on HLJ, as you do, and stumbled across this rather nice set.

http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSAM-009

Five ready built and painted power armour thugs. 1/35 scale means they will be good and chunky for HW or possibly Sentinel replacements.

Not really news as it's been out for a few years -- as people have been asking about Ogryn/HW type models recently these are worth mentioning.

The gladiator walkers are pretty cool also

Cool find. I just might check them out for my Elysians.

Here's the original promo movie for that line.

Probably good to use in AdMech armies too, as some sort of 'counts as".

Most likely as Ogryns, as has been mentioned...

"A few years?"

Try a few decades.

I hazard to guess that SF3D / MaK has been around longer than the average Dakka member!

(SF3D dates back to the 80s - I have vintage Hobby Japan issues with SF3D scratchbuilds featured within)

This set was released in 2004.

OK, but that doesn't invalidate that fact that SF3D came out more than 20 (25?) years ago, nor that the basic "suit" design hasn't radically changed in those 20+ years.

If this is new tooling, I'd guess it's all-plastic vs the mixed-media originals.

I thought those had looked familiar...though, I thought they were from the Japanese version of Starship Troopers. I was wrong.
