Re: [DSII] Genre

I'm in agreement with the GW infantry. IMHO the best thing GW ever did
was the plastic Epic-scale infantry. Plastic is expensive to set up a
production run for, but dirt cheap over a long production run. I've got
plenty of both Space Marines and Imperial Guard for Dirtside. The Guard
look very good painted khaki. The space marines make outstanding power
armor figs, in scale with the armor and  easy to paint (black primer,
drybrush whatever color you like).

Most of the Epic lead is, as said before, too Gothic for DSII or Ogre.

Devolution is very real to me.
