Beautiful entry, Pil! Love those troopers! The bone-coloured armour is beautifully done. Must be all the practice from painting skeletons - love 'em!

Certainly something quite different from all the undead, Pil. The red and bone works very well together, good job on them!

Those chaos space marines do look the part as well, lot od nicely painted details, especially the 'scales' on the armour is very neat!

Very nice entry Chris! I do love your detailing on the armour and I really like the pillared building they are standing on, it seems very appropriate for some reason.

Thanks all for the comments! The models are as Matakishi mentioned the Muster Troops from the Firefight: The Ion Age game. You can see the models here:
http://www.alternative-armies.com/Muster_Troops.htm

I painted them up for a client and I'm rather pleased with the way they turned out. Especially all the dynamic poses work well in this picture.

The scale pattern on the space marine legs is fantastic.The figures look a bit too shiny in the photo but I bet teht look the bees knees in the flesh, so to speak.

A very fine match up here.  Pil those are great troopers....I like orange as well as the qbone armor.  And the marines are quite nice as well...a good showing of space marines in this round.

Cheers,
