They look sweet. I've got a bunch for a stalled Haiti project... I think it's time to at least take them out and clean them up!

Looks great, Barks. Its impressive to see that many figures together at once. Who are they going to be fighting against? What rules? What did you base them on? I agree that some more colours on the shantys would make them more interesting, but the builds and materials themselves look legitimate.

Thanks, everyone!

You're not wrong...

Anyone and everyone, I guess. Initially inspired by Force on Force, but maybe something Ganesha-ish. They're on 20mm washers.

Bam, got it in one! Bonus points to you, sir.

I'd be lying if I said 'soon', but someday they might have nighttime visitors!
