Who makes those? What size? - they're great - I need to get some.

I have to say they look like Victorian Space Marines to me with fixed helmets and viewing ports all round.

Perhaps GW got it wrong, perhaps it's not the emperor who unites mankind but the empress - god bless her!

Nicely done.  :)
As said above who are they made by?

I've seen these in the metal and thought they were so-so. Seeing them painted though has changed my mind, I like them a lot. 8)

Yes, another case of the promo pics not doing them justice - they look great! Nice effect en masse as well.  :)

Nice to see the Scheltrum stuff up close. It's unfortunate their own pics are, well, bollocks... You've done a great job with them.

The only source I know in the US is Brigade Games, and he's only carrying part of the range. Hopefully that will change in the future.

Such a descriptive word,Don't hear it used so much these days, which is a shame. I think we need to start a movement to bring back the use of the word in polite conversation. ;)

Very true though, those figures look great.

I've got a pile of these fellas buried in the mountain somewhere. I'll havbe to dig them out and bring them to life. Thanks for the inspiration Dozing Dragon.

Doc Twilight should be a film critic, I like his style.

You should be in my painting room when I realise that I've just made another almighty balls-up of something  :(

Then you'd hear it ( and other choice words)  used  lol
