Yes an inspiring sight! ;)
Only one word of warning, in game terms this is not a cheap army you're
often looking at opponents with 5x (or more) the number of troops you
bring
on - like I said hit fast or get swamped by the masses ;)

Too true, I've been pondering how to convert existing human figures into
cybermen for my son, but as yet no sure fire way unfortunately (and I
haven't seen any for sale anywhere either).

SUPREME BEINGS, WE DO NOT PANIC!" ;)

Yep code number is NSF7 Robot Attack Class (2 in a pack) at a cost 55c
AU
(at least off Nic), by the way the Robot mechanic immediately below it
(i.e. NSF8) is actually R2D2.

Have fun

Beth - who finally got to see the Comic Relief skit of Dr Who (thanks to
Derek), that is too funny for words!!!
