Can't beleive I missed htis thread until now! Your models are the most characterful marines I've ever seen and completely capture the spirit of the AL and NL's. How on earthyou keep coming up with these conversions is beyond me, do they pop iunto your head fully formed or do you just play with random bits till you find something that fits?
I've been agonizing how to represent Oblits in an AL army for months, and you've solved the problem in a fantastic way, may I borrow the idea?
