At those prices actual Knights might be cheaper ;D

All joking aside, with the right weapons kitbashed the likely would work well

That looks quite good. I thought it might be too slender compared to more boxy Imperial designs.

As we say in New Zealand - Bugger. Why the hell did I just spend 60 quid on a GW one? ::)
Anyone want to buy a GW landing craft? :D

Hi!

The dropzone models do indeed look cool, but I have grown to dislike resin models. Too prone to damage.

Alas the days of metal minis seemed numbered.

Meh, Onslaught / Exodus Wars / Micro world are still majority if not all metal.

To be honest, I find resin to be very limiting and is only suitable for a rare few models.

Actually another question... what are people using for sentinels?? You'd think heaps of 6mm companies would make a light scout walker thing - but coming up empty.

EW have those Edenite walkers but they are pretty heavily armoured and more like heavy infantry I'm guessing.

Hi!

Which is why I like those companies. :)

Yes must admit I'd take the solid metal lump over resin most times. Though my Dark Realm Andrayada battleship and EW Large Behemoths are starting to push the limits of physics... if one of them tips over it will crush the little infantry like ants meaning I will have to buy replacements.... heh maybe that's the plan!

Hi!

I know what you mean. I have often lost squishy plastic/resin figs to the weight of large metal models.

I pine for metal infantry. :)

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes, i would have preferred the plastic ones as this one was warped to hell and needed some finger scalding steam work to fix - the box set was released the week after i bought this one though!

Im planning to add some th transporters and storm ravens using some other hawk minis - Will post them up here.
