Excellent miniatures. Size well beside the Hydra Valkeeri.

Unfortunate. The new minis for their Havoc Protocol line were really nice and I was sorta looking forward to seeing the heavy weapon troopers... :?

I liked the line, but at 34mm, it's always been a bit too large to mesh well with the rest of my miniatures. Still; I picked up some of those drones just now, as those are pretty scale neutral and pretty hard to resist at the discount rate.

Too bad they have to close down though; always sad to see a work of love and dedication fall through. All the best to them...

I have their "Havoc Girls" set - the pilot, tech and security bod - and they fit in fine with my other stuff.

I'm planning to buy the Havoc Squad set and Founders figures. 40% off brings them within import duty range :D

They go very well with Infinity but are taller and slimmer than, say, GW stuff.

ETA - I note that the Effigy shop still doesn't accept my address o_o

Ah well, I'm sure the stock will move without my contribution.

In my Sci/fi games I got over the whole scale issue a long time ago. Who is to say they are strictly "human" anyway? Sure, they look human but who knows what system they are from!  8)
