I'm guessing he means these guys:

...but the link on that page goes nowhere useful.

Hopefully just a temporary looking-for-a-web-home problem. They are gorgeous sculpts. She spent over an hour trying to track them down this morning, with no joy (and her web-foo is much better than mine).

Post by: Neotacha on 26 December 2012, 09:38:09 PM: Darn, darn, darn! I do hope they're just temporarily missing. The stuff Michael gave me is gorgeous and I am looking forward to painting them. Just the thing to get me back into painting semi-regularly (as opposed to not at all).

So do I try to match the Rackham colors or forge my own path, paint-wise, since I only have the single set to play with?
