Liking the creativity on the vehicles and the marines look so right in that jungle back drop. Two more great entries

Well spotted  :o

As Braxandur said, now available again from Old Crow: http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/aiinap.htm
Mine (I have several) originally came from Ainsty.

Thanks - the Predator rules in Future Wars lets you take two 'Predator Dummies' for each Predator in your team/force... those are grrreat for that purpose, methinks  ;D

Exactly what I bought mine for. Far better than using a marker or counter, much more atmospheric.  Seems to generate more paranoia in players  >:D

Thanks, unfortunately, the last orks I painted (the mekano and the grot) are my favorite skin tones, and I don't remember the compositionof the colors  :'(

I must admit that it took me a minute to find the clear resin fig but once I saw it and thought 'Predator', I found myself voting for it... :D

I think it was the 3 laser sight points that appeared on my chest while looking into the jungle photo that made me vote, it was either that or face certain vapourization... :D

If the Orks are a blatant attempt to get my vote, it worked.

The jungle troopers are very good paintjobs but the weathering and details on the Ork vehicals win this one for me.  Too bad they are suffering from GW hate.
