If you mix and match with the Kolony Rebels, you get a fantastic range of possibilities free of the stupid "Kaos Komedy Kult" look that sadly dominates GW sculpts these days. <br /><br />Just remember to contrast what you pay with what you WOULD have paid for GW for your wife - then you look like a "responsible" hobbyist :)Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-34656182911675660582016-01-10T11:10:12.720-06:002016-01-10T11:10:12.720-06:00I have yet to get any Pig Iron troops, but I have ...I have yet to get any Pig Iron troops, but I have been gandering at them for awhile! ;)<br />Really nice colors you picked for them and the red NCO helms are a nice touch and fit very well.

Are we counting bonus points into the Sci-Fi challenge? I'm way behind both you and Sylvain but am curious to know. My gut is only the base figure points value.

Their armour suits remind me of the 40K IG Kasrkin armour and I suspect that's not unintentional on the Pig Iron's part.
