For my sorta Falling Skies game I was thinking about using these little buggers as my Skitters. I MIGHT mod a few up with Genestealer hands, but I think I might just use them as is.

My plan is order the mega swarm whatever it is called pack on their website, but I know for awhile with the marines they didn't have them. Are the drones out and shipping?

Thanks!

Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do...

Generally the answer to any question which begins with "Is Defiance Games..." is a cloudy grey vortex of the unknown, and unlikely.

FRP Games has them in stock. You might want to consider ordering them there, given Defiance's poor reputation for timeliness.

Are they still using that horrible PVC-ish weird plastic?

Their Chinese troopers look like they'd make some good bits, but I'd not want to deal with the material. I had also been interested in their hardsuit (which will probably never appear). Shame shame shame.

Yep, it's the same material. And stay away from the Chinese Militia guys - worse figures I've seen in a while (and to prove my point, here's just a pic of one of the sprues I received):

And yes, they are THAT miscast, it's not a photo problem.

You can always resculpt the part of the under lip and below and say that the future cloning programe has issues with cleft palates...
In the dark future their is only upper lip surgery.

Gah, their quality really is garbage huh? I've never ordered a box...

Shame, I saw the Chinese heads and thought they'd make decent Rebel trooper helmets for Star Wars or something.

Some of the heads are usable...but even those have small defects (bubbles). I've already complained and I was promised some new figures.

Haven't seen mold slippage that bad in a very long time.

They've been much more active lately so I wouldn't rule out the hardsuits just yet. Seeing that their casting quality hasn't massively improved as of yet, I'd personally be happy to wait for a while so they can cut their teeth properly before making those.

Oh my! my stomach is now in pain. Some pictures are so disturbing they shouldn't be showed in a gentleman's place! :S :S :S
