I just got another order in--the Terran "Trolls" this time. Not
bad, IMHO. All of John's minis have that '50s look that I think creates a
classic sci-fi atmosphere.
We use a lot of his micro-armor for our Ogre/G.E.V. games.

I got my mini's in the mail last night, overall they were what I'd expected. Fairly crude, thin, 20mm sized fellas, need some work, but hey, that's why I bought aliens, who's to say Nektons aren't 4 feet tall. I do like the Dreenoi and Nautiloids, although I have been spoiled by 'modern' miniatures. These are definately retro. The Nekton "typhoon squad" is pretty 'blobby' and ill defined, but the Gauss Cannon RULES! Also there were some minor problems with my order, but nothing I'm sure some e-mail won't straighten out.

The basic rules look pretty good, opinions are still out on the robot rules. We have not played either yet though. The trooper minis are somewhat lacking in detail but considering the price, a buck a miniature, they are not bad game pieces. You can get minis of laser wielding races (ant, & snail come to mind) that you won't find anywhere else. No one has ordered the starships yet but we will with the next order.

Also try the Terran "Trolls" as 25mm Heavy Power armor forces. I'm going to use mine for Pan-African power armor. AT $16 for 8, you can get almost two squads for pretty cheap, and you'll have a very distinctive and interesting looking force. These are true 25mm (like all of John's stuff), but since the Trolls are supposed to be 7-8 ft. tall, they look "right" beside your standard SGII power armor. I painted them this weekend, and they look cool.
