Excellent minis and a dream to paint. They also have US and British Powered Armoured as well.

I totally agree - very nice indeed. 
They look more streamlined than the SoTR ones too, I much prefer these

They have a very definitive "designed" look to them. I don't mind the SoTR powered armour but they seem more functional and utilitarian. They do have the drop pack option on them which gives them a different role in a game.

Always nice to have choices though.

Update: was it Agis that painted a version of the Project X German Powered Armour with rocket packs?

I did a quick comparison last night with some of my Artizan US troops and they seemed a little more suitable than the example above might seem. Still large for certain but they looked suitable for armoured elite troops.

Is that radio operator a small figure?

Do they come with the jet pack option model components then?

And is the MG42 style weapon on Agis's beats here is a weapon swap?
It looks very good, and definately helps with the retro feel

The jetpack photo I saw was definitely a conversion and I suspect based on my poor memory of the figs I have downstairs that the MG42 in this photo is also a conversion

The model on the right on the photo above is out of the blister icluding the MG-42 - nothing converted.
The Rocket backpack is a conversion from me.

Thanks. I kept looking for a Weird WWII section

[Tas]

Yep I'm really liking these, many thanks for all the info

Of course, whats not to like after Agis has converted and played with them, beatifully painted them and then thematically based them!!

These would also be very cool with a head swap and some samurai bits for WWW2 Japanese - one weird army at a time....

[pixelgeek]

Every time I see these I want to go buy some more and do an entire force of them :-)

After painting the 15mm version in Japanese colours for my Banzai book, I always toyed with the same idea!

see Bushi Gunjin Japanese Supersoldiers here http://www.adpublishing.de/html/gear_krieg_banzai_.html

The problem is to find suitable big Japanese conversion parts...
There are many 25mm / 28mm parts around, but the PX soldiers are really BIG 30mm, so maybe Warzone might do the job...
