TELL THEM TO COMB THE DESERT! DO YOU HEAR ME? COMB THE DESERT!

 

And...I did my best to show that on their bases.

I am using these as Pyke Syndicate mercs for Star Wars Legion. Obviously, they will only be fielded with my Empire army (the Rebels & droids wouldn't put up with these schmucks). I didn't have an officer model, so I painted one in officer's colors to use as a Capo. 

I got these on Etsy and cannot recommend the purchase. They were cheap and I got what I wanted out of it more or less (a proxy unit for the Pykes). However I bought 14 minis, all tossed in a baggy which was then wrapped in bubble wrap. By the time these crossed from Utah to South Carolina, 6 guys had broken guns and Dark Helmet's paper-thin helm was broken. 

My purchase also included what I presume was Micheal Winslow's radar operator character in a chair. I had no idea what I was going to do with that mini, but that concern was rendered moot once I realized that his arms lacked elbows. Excellent quality control. 

Like I said, they were cheap, and sometimes you get what you pay for.
