The entire modern line has Capitol and Cartel written all over it. 

I am actually thinking of just taking the sniper, unconverted, and adding him to my Sea Lion squad.  EDIT: Bah, it would need shoulderpads.  Still, I think I can do that limited amount of converting.


Then, I saw:  http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02834&Category_Code=USXMin

...and Cancer Mtd MG visions started flowing.   

Dang, this could get very expensive, if I keep looking...

EDIT 2:

And this could be a great Dark Huntsman proxie: http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02821&Category_Code=USXMin

I remember, as I'm sure you do, when Rafm was doing all kinds of good stuff back in the eighties.  Now they mostly cast other people's pewter, but their own line is slowly expanding again.  Their modern stuff is looking about the right size too, especially when compared to the Warzone range.   A lot of their older releases are discontinued, and with good reason.  Sculpting was hit or miss back then, compared to today's standards.

Good finds.

One of the gang in my College days had an entire reptilliad army.  The War Turtles were cool figs.  The rest of the troops, far less so...

Reptiliads.  I even put a Scottish accent on it, but you can't hear that via the written word.

The Reptiliad Utanth box set featured painting by a guy named Thom Talamini.  Gosh, that's a long time ago. 

The Reptiliads were cool.

By today's standards they don't quite hold up, but back then they were ace.
