Well, they came out of the degreaser, and after a little working over with pipe cleaners and an old electric toothbrush, they're getting ready for priming. I expect a window of about eight hours of low humidity this afternoon, which will be perfect.
In the meantime, here is the raw resin, drying in the sun. I also understand this can help tighten up the resin, which is UV-cure. The detail is excellent, but with the "Frosted" Material it's hard to get a good idea of them without primer on. Anyway, here we are:

A closeup of some of my favorites, the Hellhounds. Much maligned but high on style, and very handy in an Urban setting. You can also see the Deathstrike missiles, Medusa mortars, a trio of Leman Russ Vanquishers up top, and some Chimeras, ready for the troops to board up for combat.

For a line of miniatures that never existed before like a month ago, i don't see how I could ask for more!
Infantry-wise, I've already based up a Mechanized Company's worth of troops, including their Company Captain and Commissar - more on them later. The idea is that the Hoplites Armored Regiment here would be mostly tanks, with mechanized infantry to follow through and hold objectives, or dismount at advantageous points to protect the flanks. Not sure how sound it is from a "Tactica" standpoint but it appeals to my sense of Sci Fi.
