Excellent!

I really like them. They have balance and most of all they seem to have a
"style" all there own.

Are those non-PA trooper figures GW Imperial Guard with there faces
redone? I like them as well, nice job.

I will endeavor to eat only "Tonk Friendly Tuna" from now on out of respect
for these noble critters.  :-)

That mini you are talking about is a Tonk. The other figures were only
included for scale. It is a Warzone Cybertronic Volunteer troopers mini with
the face redone. A simple conversion. It took some trial and error to get the
faces to look like more than TMNT spoofs. When I get them all painted up and
photoed, you'll notice some have more pronounced and rounded snouts than
others. I'm writing this into their anatomy as part of their
linguistic mechanism - they can inflate areas of their proboscus with
air to
produce the croaking and gargling sounds - think bullfrog or elephant
seal.
