This is a new kit from Hasegawa in the Maschinen Krieg series which I believe started in the 1970s but a lot of the current kits and models are fairly recent.

I mentioned the battlesuits in a previous thread -- they are on sale at the moment.

I'm thinking this series could be used for a variant semi-high-tech IG army, or a low-tech Tau army, or Orkified up for the lulz.

I must be reading this wrong..... 24 1/35 power armor suits for $36?! I don't have a need for these but I'm sure I can come up with one at that price.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/622891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/622891.page GMT New SF model kit should be good for something?

My completely unsubstantiated guess is that they are about the size of a Terminator or maybe a 2nd gen Tau Stealth suit. A 1/35 man is bigger than a Marine/Cadian, and the suits are noticeably bigger than the man inside them (of course).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/622985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/622985.page GMT Re:New SF model kit should be good for something?

Yep, that was my point -- it's almost a crime NOT to buy them.

I think the suits are larger than a Tau mk.2 Stealth Suit.

I'll measure a 1/35 scale tank crewmember when I get home and post the dimensions.

The flying thing appears to be a single-seater gunship but it's 1/20 scale so it should be large enough for a Devilfish.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623192.page GMT New SF model kit should be good for something? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623207.page GMT New SF model kit should be good for something?
My 1/35 tank commander is 47mm from sole to eye, and 41mm from sole to top of his beret.

He's standing up straight with legs together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/623842.page GMT New SF model kit should be good for something?

Note that you'll have to cough up $30+ for shipping... So it's like $3 per model - not terrible, but not $1.50 each.

Thanks for the find I have ordered some of these as well!
Between 40k and At-43, hell perhaps even some Infinity, these will come in handy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/629642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233869/629642.page GMT New SF model kit should be good for something?

WTF? That "24pcs" thing didn't mean "one big figure with 24 parts", did it?

Ohhhhh......verry niiiice.

Here's some size comparison pics featuring a Guardsman from my aborted TOG-themed army. The right arm, antenna, and shoulder pads just haven't been attached yet.

That would be an excellent Civilian Transport/Scouter for an =I=Munda game, with the Vulkan removed, of course.

I ordered a pack of 5 of these myself to use as Ogryns in my Elysian army.
