Not 15mm mate, and besides the Critical Mass Heavy Drop Troopers are far more spartan like.

(These are in addition to the six man Noble Team in the other thread).

Will end up with at least 16 of these, various weapons, various armour loadouts.

A great idea!  The system troopers and those particular heads are a great start...BUT...if ever you want to go the smaller route...

 Have you not thought of using the Halo Clix figures?

 Quite a few up on ebay at the moment.

 Nice Grymn Inso.

Saw them when you did them, not what I'm looking for re: size. had these on the back burner for a while now mocked up.

They'll be that bendy shite plastic, so not for me. Might get some for so some of the weapons options, although Si at Pig Iron is currently working on more System troopers kneeling different poses and 'hopefully' dual weapon as I've been suggesying. ;)

What make are they ?

Those look like Pig Iron System Trooper bodies with Pig Iron heavy trooper heads. Pig Iron is the best think in a long while for sc fi in 28!

By the way, CV, they do look lovely.  :D

I can't spring for System Troops right now, but I was thinking of using PI heavy trooper heads on some Kryomek Nexus SWAT trooper bodies.

 Nice Grymn Inso.

I bought a few of the Haloclix to try them out.  They were cheap but really out of scale with any other miniature I would use them with.  They are taller than most figures and slender.  If scale bothers you at all you will probably not like them.  I was very disappointed.

Thank you, but when Inso said "smaller route" I thought they were 15mm.
Those were the figures I was wondering about.

The smaller figures I mentioned are Grymn from Hasslefree Miniatures, with Pig Iron heads and a bit of putty work.

If you didn't know, Grymn are 28mm scaled space-Dwarfs...so smaller than the average humie :) .

Nice use of the PI figures Commander.

Any chance we can see a piccie of these next to your other Halo inspired Humies (Copplestone Jungle troopers with helmet/head swops) from last year?

The Covenant are a much better option - they're alien and don't have the same "human-size" reference.

That's a shame, was hoping for 15mm due to space and budgetary considerations.
(Also influences things like terrain and vehicles.)

Then check out my 15mm Halo thread you numpty!  :D

Take a look at Critical Mass's Arc Troopers and
khurasanminiatures who are about to release some very spartan looking stuff too.
