Excellent painting, of course. I've been looking for a good opponent to the Grenadier/EM4 Copplestone troopers for quite a while. These look about right.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Really nice. Both the figs and your stunner of a paint job.
One thing that does bug me about them is their rifles, I'd much prefer they were carrying a bullpup rifle. This one looks a bit too much like an SG 566 to me and looks a little out of place beside the massive support weapon.

I know you too well Frank I remember you a couple of years back lamenting the Copplestone troopers and even hollowing out barrels etc. I did think at one point you may have gone down the Borderland route but thats a long time ago now :D

And with that comment in mind. Are there any comparison pics anywhere with different models? Copplestone being one of the ones.

And these models do look damn nice. Crisp and clean. And the paint scheme just makes em look fantab. Cant wait to see the RL guy when he is done. :-)
