Not 100% sold on the heads, but I am on the price

I quite like those, maybe rebel heads from pig iron would fit well.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Those are decent, and I kind of like the heads.  I can imagine the pale green lights from those facemask-cameras glowing through the murky haze on a centuries-old battlefield in a Doctor Who episode.

No, I'm not really into optimised points-buy army lists, can you tell?

Price is good too, and I also like their Imperial Borderers.

Really like those. Loose the spike add cogs and you've got perfect admech skittarii too. Both old father and the machine god would be pleased.X

I like them...unique and at the same time, not.  I don't much hold to the heads, but...they're separate so who cares?  I like the grungetech look to them.  I'd consider picking up a box if I ever go sci-fi...

I think the heads have a certain charm, although they won't fit well with most existing armies. They make great sci-fi baddies, though, and as others have said, if the heads are detachable they offer a lot of flexibility.

On the site they make the point of saying they're non-heroic proportions. Does anyone know how they look with say Pig Iron heads?

Interesting figures with a nice 'post apoc' feel.

However, they aren't great sculpts.  There's some awkward anatomy in there, and the feet are to small and poorly formed.

Anvil do some really great troops (the Fallen Dwarves and ARC Troops in particular) and are an excellent source of 'bits' for modelling and conversions, but i think these Tox Troopers have missed the quality mark just slightly.

These are not anvil industry miniatures - they are miniatures of the north produced under licence by anvil industries.

That said I quite like them. Could make nice drones for a neo-sov sci fi force.

I fancy getting some to use as Nurgle traitor guard to go with the small force I am building up (very slowly)
