No but I'll admit to wanting to. I was tempted with the Brigade models stand at Joy of 6 recently

  Love the books and setting. Figs are great too. I have them in 15mm and 6mm. The rulebook is amazing and loaded with great pics and painting ideas. I wish there were some rules dealing with Aliens ala bugs and different than the ones presented. They seem more of a hit and run type army. I want to have Space bugs!  :)

Thanks.

Where are you guys getting the 6mm ones from?

Hammer’s Slammers was probably responsible for me becoming an armour officer lol

Old Crow was selling them for quite a while, but Brigade Models UK has the line of 6mm ones now.  IIRC there are slight differences, enough that I was going to call them different marques, I think the Brigade ones were going to be my uparmoured blowers. 

If you're starting the project from today though, Brigade has everything you need, and Ground Zero can always provide some opponents, they make great Hetzers.

Weird considering he started writing them as a way to deal with his (what would now be defined as) PTSD (based on what he wrote in the afterword in one of the early books).
