Yep... hear yall but I lke the meck for the same reasons stated against it (even though im not a GW player or fan) and im ordering the pilots, I already have two others, I use them in WWWII games as what they are.

Anyone know of any other WWWII or WWII such pilots, I want more :o)

Crooked Dice Minions are worth a look.

Modified with a Hasslefree Thompson SMG and a Man from 3000 pistol (and fighting man heads).

It has been a bit quiet on this thread recently.

At Salute I bought the Westwind Stug and Jotun mechs.

Here are the parts for the Stug Mech.


There are mould marks across a number of the faces (note the ones across the right leg and the pelvis). The choice of an integrated base is disappointing.

The legs are rather strange, suggestions on how they bend?


That is the right leg.

And assembled.
With a Warlord Grizzly for scale.


With a Puma for scale.


With a British Steel suit for scale.


And William Killian for scale.

 The StuG Mech looks good, nice & squat & a good size match for the Grizzly. as to how the legs bend...interesting, looks like the leg is thrown forward from the hip, the pistons extend & any other articulation is at the ankle - I'm not sure what they've got against knees...

 They've just released some rather nice officer/nco models for the Brit Galahad armoured suits (plus ones for the US versions). Also a couple of dog handler units, along with some very large London bull terriers (some sort of genetic tomfoolery no doubt) - nice models.

 There's also a new version of the Soviet Mammoth mech (personally I find it a great improvement over the previous T35-ish version, though I still think that the WestWind soviet multi-legged mechs are far better).

Nice, I think that you can now have a a British Armoured Infantry platoon, so that is good. I like the dog handlers. Not so sure about he dogs.

I agree the Soviet walker is missing something, a pair of legs to start with ^__^.

I quite like them, but do think that the Hasslefree 'Chip' is a much better sculpt.

The hassle free dog isn’t an English bull terrier though, I think they got them spot on, if a little larger than they should be

 Warlord have also released a preview set of Italian heavy armoured troops for Axis & allies



Personally I think they have done a great job on these figures

I have to admit to thinking they are a bit "wombley" for me.

 While I like the armour sculpts (being just slight variations on the existing German & British ones), the Thracian/Murmillo type helmet might be going a bit far...
