The Imperial Shuttles - are they model kits or toys? Who makes them?
Could you use them (are they big enough) for a small shuttle for 25mm? 1 pilot
or pilot and navigator plus an 8 man SF squad? Or are they just too small for
true 25mms?

2) GeneThieves
I have a bunch of GW multi-armed kill-death-slay beasties
(GeneSt**lers). I was wondering how people had statted them in SG2 and FMA? I
was thinking they'd make A) Good enemies for my KV in a "Who is Hunting Who?"
scenario or B) Good backup for my KV (special modified strain KV berserkers or
maybe just controlled predators the KV use as shock troops?)

I was thinking: GeneThief
Speed/Mobility Type: Fast PA (d12 x 2)
Close Combat: Doubles as PA Ranged: Not
Leader/Quality: Veteran 1/High Motivation       (are not easily driven
off) Reactivated: No (not really command driven) Wounded: Auto Resolve as PA,
only all wounded results are dead. <logic: the others turn on it and destroy
it if it is wounded>

Thoughts?

Tom - The shuttle is one of the Galoob Star Wars Action Fleet
Shuttle Tydirum's.  I _guess_ you could say a there are 2 guys drivin'
with a squad in the back. They'd almost fit... It's more believeable if you've
got 15's. It probably not big enough for 25's.

This is one of the few photos I could find of the ship. It's a picture of one
in a box at eBay. You might be able to find one at Toys R Us, that's where I
got mine...

Sorry to take so long to answer, just got back from Bonn.

1: Found the shuttles at KayBee Micro Machines Star Wars Proto Type line (also
has ATAT walkers, X-Wing, Y-Wing and Snow Speeder) small model of the
ProtoType

is includes.  Comes with 2 20-25mm Star Wars figures

2: I had them move 8" with no terrain effects. 2D10 works better than D10x2
(gives the Human a slim but fighting chance). Of Course Terror effects if they

get too close.
