The Sharclon have been spotted!:



Here are a few scale pix with various Dwarf/Halfling/Human miniatures:

Nice stuff Inso. Didn't go for the unhelmeted version. Will you do one in future or will they all be helmeted?

This is a normal squad so I wanted to keep them all helmeted. The officer comes with two different helmets and two different Sharclon heads so I am saving the bare heads for a command unit.

I am planning on getting lots of these and really hope that Andy casts a few different poses/weapons for them.

Great looking potato heads, will need to pick up a few in the near future I think.

Those Sharclones are really nice. I just wish the miniatures came in a taller variety. I'm still annoyed my favorite Dr. Hugh aliens got shrunk down.

And then there were ten :) :



I still have a leader to paint but I will probably convert him... I'll wait until I've painted a few more troopers before I worry about that though.

I'm waiting to see if they add to the line before I invest in them
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I'm doing the same, GG. I like them, but I would like some variety even more.

they were always supposed to be short, casting never got the memo...

not that you'll care, but green was the Medical Corp if memory serves. Red for main infantry, metallic black for special/elite forces, blue for fleet crew. Military Intelligence wore bronze/brass.

I have too many notes on not-these chaps...

I'd also be in for a few of these, should a couple more poses materialise... That trooper looks like it would be tough to modify. 

Nice knowledge from Mr Giraffe (he said, scribbling it down for future reference).

track this down if you can -

great novel - and McIntee is one of the best Who authors out there - you just hear Delgado in your head when you read one of his Master stories...

Thanks. Will definitely look out for that.  A filmed sequel was apparently made to that novel - you learn something new every day.

Looks pretty good, the Sontarans are great! (They remind me of the TV version of HHGTG Vogons).  They appear to be sporting the colour scheme you mentioned...
