I've ordered some of their stuff. The heavy weapon mounts are smaller than you'd think but the quality of everything is very high. I think nutty has gotten stuff from them too if memory serves. |

Great to hear that it's high quality stuff. One thing I've been sort of considering doing, is making a Guard regiment sort of modelled after the NCR troopers from Fallout New Vegas. I see that they have the british helmets from WW2, both with and without gas masks. I'd use those for troopers, heads with berets for officers and my 1st Recon snipers. Some of the fancier gas mask heads along with trench coat legs with a few other minor conversions might make some veteran Rangers (Scions, basically).
I think it could be a neat little project, and the majority of the models would be Cadian. They'd still have Cadian torsos and lasguns and Imperial weapons and all that, so I imagine GW wouldn't poodoo their pants if I showed up at a tournament with them
Is the plastic similar quality to GW?
Also! Since you've ordered from them, maybe you'll know. Is there any way to get a certain type of rifle? I'm looking at the M4/M16 package, and I just want the M16A1s, but it looks like they're all variety packs. Which makes me the sads

I got a bunch of the trenchguns for my veterans, and 4 of the little tracked uniys to put underneath heavy weapons (to use as cyclops demolition vehicles) but so far I've only dry fitted the arms and have't tried painting them yet. They are nice clean casts though, and it looks like the parts are casted in plastic. Atleast I haven't seen any of the release agents you usually find on resin parts. You can always give them a quick bath in some handwarm water with some dishwashing soap to be safe. As for using them at official GW events: I think the rule is that: 80% of the model has to be GW/FW. That is what it used to be over here anyway. If you only want a certain type of gun you could try sending them an e-mail. Most of the third party manufacturers are small companies with a handfull of employees, so they might take the time to make it happen.  |

My thanks! I will certainly be trying it. I've decided on the parts I'll be using. I'll be making some conversions here in a few weeks
