I like it.  How's it scale with a 28mm mini?

Seconded.

A pic will help a lot to see how they match.

Thanks a lot.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

It looks nasty  :-*

Nice to see there's still manufacturers out there producing quality metal models as opposed to resin :)

Sorry for the slow reply, but it's been a rough week at the office and I just got a few moments for some more pictures.

Here is a link to my SkyDrive for additional pictures:

Here are some with 28mm Devil Dog Design US Rangers (Sorry, I do 15mm now and have very little 28mm left)



Hope they help,

Jeff

It's good see these back in production, although I'm admittedly happier about the Terror-mites being still available. Is there anything else from the old Mongoose Starship Troopers line you expect to salvage?

The only other two I know of is some sort of Mantis (I think there are two types?) and a "Spider Bug".  I'm not sure whn they are expected to be released.

Mmm, the Spider and the Mantis* are definitely also welcome back:

It's a shame tho if Burrowers and Overseers are lost to time (can't recall what the latter was made of tho, it could've been a plastic kit in which case bringing it back to production would indeed be difficult).

Reminds me of this old beasty "Psion Impaler" from Ral Partha's old Space Knights line...

Agreed.  I don't have either one of those in my bug collection.  I'll be keeping an eye out.

I don't have the spiders and I loved them.

Shame the Ripplers and the Overlord aren't available anywhere.  :(
