I think your friends are right. 1.5-2 ft is a bit on the small side. I would go with the 3*3, that actually has some room and allows for some tactics. Consider Mordheim.

Don't know if this has been posted before, or if folks have seen these already, but ...

These were just released from Wargames Factory:

Almost enough to make me want to start IG.

Damn, forgot about them.

Many will be purchased (well, I only need 45).

Just saw the sprue pictures. HOW MANY EXTRAS? Gorgeous stuff.

They will serve Chaos well....

Being an IG player, I can't say that those are anything that I would want to use in my army.

Funny. Rick Priestley always imagined 1 model to equate around 5 men, but then again, they were just a bunch of hippies, so he was probably too stoned to notice ;)

Neither would I, but they would make great traitor Guard in my opinon, like the Blood Pact.

Obviously, these figures would give a different flavor/theme to an Imperial Guard Army.

I've heard some folks interested in IG with great coats, and this could certainly fit the bill.

Heard they're planning on making heavy weapons teams and command sprues, too.

There are now pictures of the sprue up on the company's site accessible via that link I provided above.

And here's a review of the sprue ...

Could perhaps be ok to use these for mechanicus IG, Steel Legion, traitor guard, or someother creative and imaginary unit.

If the scale/proportions look about right then you could mix and match certain parts with IG stuff to make it a little better, or more like normal IG.  If nothing else just use the greatcoat body and not the rest.  As it is I don't think they're particularly amazing but the price is about right.

Good traitor guard indeed, especially with the cthulhu head on there

Edit:  I skimmed through that video GP, I was a bit on the fence about how they looked prior but at 15:30 they show a small squad of them assembled and put together and I must say they look pretty good.  And they do appear to be the same size as guardsmen, seen at around 21:00

Just got 3 BMD's to make into Mortar carriers (griffons). Oh god, each track is individual Aldaris, I hate you so much. I've got another 5 to order for my troops.  :dry:

They're nice and big too  :-D

ekman ... yep, the fact that the GW stuff and their stuff seems to work nicely together, provides plenty of opportunity for creativity amd conversions.

I'm less looking forward to building the 2 HIND Gunships. They're each over 14 inches long, and extremely detailed.

Whatever suits your fancy.

You could just as easily buy the greatcoat bodies that GW does make from bitz suppliers if you are that hardpressed for a whole army of them.

And not waste money buying an entire sprue of mis-sized (possibly, since 28mm =/= 28mm heroic) accessories.

Depends on what you mean.  And I'm not sure I understand.

Anyway, Ekman is right on with what he saw in the video.  The Wargames Factory shock troops fit along side GW IG quite nicely as shown in the video.  Even along side FW's resin minis, yet not surprisingly less detailed, they fit size wise.

However, it really is all in what a person is looking for. :::cheers:::

I'll save the pricing for the more specific thread, since this is the 40K thread ...

Cool looking dudes! Perfect for Blood pacters!

I am sticking with Cadians for my core platoon, but so far my three vet squad are all different, as if attached from other units.
One are all Tanith first and only minis, alongside the Steel legions my favourite IG sculpts. The second are made from Catachans, with some Cadian heads mixed in.-The third are Cadians but with the closed helmet heads, or with attached re-breathers, to give them a grenadier feel. :icon_mrgreen:

But Cadians fits best for my plan to make a platoon inspired by my own Homeguard/National Protection Forces platoon. We got the most awesome callsigns within our Company by the way, Delta X-ray. Usually shortened to Delta.  :icon_razz:

Mathi ... That is a great idea, I like the idea of having a mixed IG army.  Having different squads of infantry working together to battle the enemies of mankind.

Looking good! I'm going to use dual defilers in my Word Bearers army, I've got one regular defiler and I'll buy a Soul Grinder to use as the second. I've got some jewelery chain, and I'm going to model it so that the chain is connected from its legs to its torso, so that every time it moves it rips at the skin making it angrier, the WB treat daemons as slaves after all.

Those are going to be real nice when they're finished! And I like the "standing up" conversion. Looks kinda like a Battlemech now. A very spiky one.
