Hmmm. Rather tasty.
I've jsut finished painting 5 ferals and am midway through 5 rebels. I am using the heads interchangeably. They work rather well like that...

Now I shall have to get the rebel and feral heavy weapon packs too...

Ho hum... It never ends, does it?  ;)

Looking forward to seeing those! I'm a big fan of your painting style, Captain.

Love the look of them. A nice middle ground between flak-jacketed and power-armoured sci-fi soldiers.

Those new System Troopers are Traveller wish fulfillment for me!  Cool Combat Armored troops that aren't GW.  Yay!

Despite the plethora of 25/28mm sci-fi minis available now, Pig Iron are still amongst my favourite figures. I've already ordered the system troopers and look forward to getting some painted and posted here. Must be said too - lovely people to do business with!

I think I just found some replacement UNE troops for Legions of Steel. Nice to see Pig Iron keep their independent looks.

Here's hoping they do some active figures aswell.

I'd actually like to see them redo those initial heavy troops

Totally agree there, the troopers are actually quite nice and their helmet is brilliant but the proportions of the body... ah... not great.

If a redo was done, I'd also go with a different rifle design as the ones they have seem too blocky for my taste.

Overall though, as I said before, this appears to be a company with a bright future.
