lovely scale to work this out in. For some reason my mind starts thinking HOTT lists for these, any particular game system you had in mind?

Ahh, those were the by-gone years when small scale was fine by me :'(, painting balkan crosses on micro-armor.... o_o, tiny little men covering the battlefield like beautiful grains of rice, then the years go by and Dam! even 15mm starts to look just like a bunch rice tossed on the board... lol. Great stuf fin a great scale. Love the "ant"!!!! :-*
