Subject: [SGII] Mini review and question for KR

Bought a bunch of Stargrunt Minis a while back which I finally got
around to popping out of blisters, cleaning up, and priming today.  1
Question for KR, and a bunch of gratiutous advertisement.
 
1st: KR, the New Israeli missle launcher.  OK, where does it go?  For
those of who've never seen it, there's a neato box missle tube, with a
cylinder under it, and a trooper with a gauss rifle that has no obvious
attachment point.  Huh?
 
2nd: The New Israelis as a whole.  WOW!  I'm glad I never got around to
buying that platoon of New Swabian infantry.  These all of a sudden got
bumped up into my Thematic Infantry slots.  Full body armor, gauss
rifles with grenade launchers, mean-looking SAWs, very cool minis!  I
even like the command pack with the officer with his helmet off.  Looks
too young to be up this late at night--perfect for young and dumb 2LT.
(Seriously, we just got a 2LT assigned to our company that looks 14).
There was more flash on these than is usual for Geo-hex stuff, but
that's a hell of a high standard in the first place-nothing 10 seconds
with an exacto couldn't solve.
 
3rd:Oceanic Union troopers.  Very nice.  Some of them are limited
utility for me (Maori just don't work in New Roman service) but they do
include the only uniform line in boonie caps, which makes them my Recon
troopers.  So I've got 7 blisters on order to go with the one I have
(that makes 24 dismounts)  Also got some dismounted Light Horse which I
greatly approve of.  The sniper in Yowie Suit was just too cool to pass
up, which now forces me to ask, how in HELL do you paint it
properly?!?.  I know I'm stuck.
 
I have no business painting these guys up right now (I've got a million
and one other things that ought to be higher priority right now, like
the rest of my Dutch Rebellion infantry, 'coz I've got a game this
Friday I'll need them for) but it's just too cool to pass up.  Kudos to
KR and also to Nic, since all these are originally Eureka minis.
