First there is an 'Illyrian scout' - a cute little alien type for my Space hulk collection. I think this mini is quite funny with is one eye and Elvis outfit - very Futurama-ish. Cool mini from Reapers Chronoscope line. I have given him the same kind of base (from Dragon Forge) that all my other Space Hulk minis have... He'll fit in nicely! :)
Then there is a small group of skeletons from a new company - Mantic - who aim to compete with GW on the price - 30 of these skeletons cost about the same as 20 from GW... I have painted one of the elves as well (so far they have produced an elevn line and an undead line of minitures). And while I wasn't at all fond of the elven line, I must admit that these skeletons actually look cool. Very inconsistent line of miniatures - some of them - like these undeads - look totally ok, while others (the elven line) are pretty crappy. It might be because I haven't seen any decent painted examples... Even the official paintjob looks bad! (and that is always something that should sound the alarmbell!)
