Available for pre-order now. Love these, my Halo force is going to have another set of ODSTs!

Andy has told Frothers that he'll be doing some single-piece versions of these too:

I like these a lot but I'm not too impressed by the price. Even at the multi-pack discount price they're more expensive than Pig Iron or Copplestone.
So many projects..... so little time.......

£7.50 for four works out £1.87 per figure so not the end of the world really. You get four for £8 with pig iron, (granted the discount for bulk).

These are nice and I've bought 16! I'm thinking 4-8 for standard ODST's then the rest for specialists and a deathmatch game :D

£1.60 for Copplestone and £1 for old Copplestone (from EM-4 at shows) and the detail work is better. I'll grant you pig iron though  ;)
£1.87 is bearable, it's below my £2 'grunt' threshold. I don't like ordering large numbers of figs at a time though as I just end up with a pile that doesn't get painted (my bags of Renegade 'regiment deals' attest to that). I prefer to order say 10 (or as close as reasonable) and get them done before ordering more. Having to order a minimum of 16 to get them at a reasonable price irks me rather.

They are nice though, although the knee pads are a bit shoddy. Love the helmets and the guns.

Then buy half off me when I get them for £7.50 a pack?  :)

Couldn't do it right now, I've spent too much this month already. However if you're getting more in a couple of months time, let me know.  :)

Not exactly cheap, but certainly gorgeous  :-*

I could probably stretch to a squad or two for 5150 games  ;D

Ordered a pack last night. I'll probably swap out the heads for some WW Brit Paras with berets and make a UNIT squad. They should fit nicely with the new crooked dice minis.

Got them through yesterday, very nice indeed. Will be letting two packs go for £7.50 each as i wants me some of the specialists and eliteswhen released.

PM me if you want a pack (£7.50 plus postage)

Will try to build up a four man fireteam aasap but currenty in pre salute mode, gaming table progression for the same weekend and zero time.

Cheers.

I was thinking of swapping the weapons for G36's from Hasslefree miniatures.
