Re: DS2 Infantry basing question

Well, you asked for it.

>By the way, that army you got there sounds interesting.  What
miniatures 
>are you using for it?

Well, for the various PA units, I am using the ful lrange of Battletech
PAs 
save for the Clan Elementals as I have never been fond of their
pot-bellied 
pincered butts..:)

For the larger bipedal walkers I am currently using some of the
Battletech 
'Protomechs' which I inten to rid of their animal faces.  These scale
out 
pretty big but not quite oversized liek some battlemechs can.

For the lumbering assault walkers, I have my eye set on a particularly
neat 
quad-mech agai nfrom the battletech series quich I beleive is called the

Stalkign Spider or some such.  I intend to gussy it up with some green
stuff 
though an give it less of a battletech flavor.

My infantry is made up of some of the Scotia militia for the heavier 
"Machine Troopers" and WW2 German infantry in their great coats for the
line 
infantry.  I chose the germans because they have the right feel and
there 
are so many good anime flicks and comics where the infantry are wearing 
fritzy helmets and greatcoats.	For my alien scouts I'm using some old 
Alternative Armies minis I bought on clearance.  They have snouted, 
goggle-eyed helmets and hard armour which I intend to pain as alien
anatomy 
instead of armour.

I've got some rather large APCs agan fro mthe new Clan Vehicle minis.  I
am 
using a lot of the Battletech stuff because it is cleanly sculpted and 
usually has some nicely obsurd designs which for some reason match my
idea 
of what this army should look like.

Air support is provided by Grav gunships made from Crimson Sky flying
wings 
without their propellers.  These things look cool with the WW@ bomber 
cockpit look and the six cannons stickign out the front.

Armour in my army isn't light or subtle.  I envision massive supertanks.
 
I'v got my eye on several of the tanks available in, you guesssed it,
the 
Battletech line.

This army may seem liek just an excuse to cheese out, but I really
wanted to 
do a semi-alien army and still have it be somewhat human.  The army is 
supposed to reflect a society in which technology runs rampant, with a 
design philosophy which prmotes doign anythign to achieve a goal.

I don't play Battletech anymore, but even when I did, I never bought
this 
many Battletech minis.
