"At the end of the third millenium, battles are still mostly fought and won by infantry. On the surface of desert planets, on icy wastes, in deadly jungles or venemous plains, the elite forces of the Xanthac federation..."
I got 5 boxes of these largish sci fi armored troopers from Hannants UK and JMN Hobby here in Manila. Each box has 5 figures.They're molded in silver grey plastic and the hexagonal slotta bases are black. These figs are 28mm, the same size as the Games Workshop Space Marines. The bases are Hexagonal. 5 guys in total. Each figure, with the exception of the leader, is made of the same 3 pieces - the main figure/torso, a Gun and a Backpack.
There's also a sprue with 3 heavy weapons ( probably something like a flamer, a plasma cannon and a heavy bolter/blaster) on it. They're a simple "Squish Together" mold - Guns "Squish" into a large square on their chests and backpacks go into a circle.
The fifth figure seems like an NCO, probably the squad leader. He has a sword and pistol combi and his armor is a bit more ornate than the regular troopers. Plus, he's wearing Oakleys:) Not bad as a cheap alternative to the Games Workshop Space Marines.
Here's a set of pictures of some other gamer's figures painted up as space marines. And here's another set of painted samples. Here's another set of painted samples and another here. Scroll down to see them. I'll post my painted figures soon.
Hi. Very nice post.
