Just stumbled across these guys.

I am VERY tempted to try and make a travel size Space Hulk/Adv Space Crusade with some of these.

Here are a few of examples.

Ehrmagerd, they're making Tau. And here I wasn't planning on collecting another army.

Eh, call me when they make a Cyclops.

(I kid. If this guy keeps up what he seems to be aiming to do, and pretty much just fills out unsupported Epic armies, he'll probably get a lot of business from me. I'm already planning on getting a bunch of Gaunts, as my lack of them is currently the bottleneck on my Tyranid army building. Although $7.50 for 5 stands is a touch on the pricy side...)

Very nice. I'm not planning to buy anymore minis right now but small scale makes sense if I were to buy ever again in the future Marty. Transport is an issue for a Warhammer Orc army I find. A lot of set up time even with magnets. So heavy as well.
How would you build the miniature space hulk board Spevna? Scratch build?

Nice work, though I can see him joining the GW mailing list in the near future. :lol:
Still, if GW don't support their own popular games, it is their own fault. :D

From a quick browse of their website, they look like it.

Can you smell something? I'm sure I can smell kickstarter in the air. Smells pretty tempting, too...

Unless he's concerned with flying under the radar. I reckon he's fairly watertight, tho - his sculpts are close enough to be kiiiinda recognised as what they could be used as, but at the same time he's been very sensible with the names, and the designs are (imho) sufficiently generic to be defended as "but yeronner them's just alien bugs, like in startship troopers, sci-fi Japanese stuff, wot I made myself, and alien types wiv pointy hats."
