Anybody been building these yet..? I've done the Mad Bull and have the T Rex to do this week. If you haven't seen them at SMW then think for these two at least Edd209 meets AT-ST walker. They are a bit hard to find in the shops as yet, I got my Mad Bull at SMW and the T Rex on Ebay. Hopefully they will be more plentiful soon... They are basically snaptite, and fairly well detailed - the plastic feels a bit 'soapy' and the driver figure is a bit of a let down. Apart from that they are a bargain at under £6. No decals, and they come with three little pots of acrylic paint and a brush. I built my Mad Bull from the box to go on the Armour SIG stand - done with Games Workshop paints - but the next one will be getting the customary makeover. It's going to get a number of Orky additions - like the Killer Kan engine, steel shears and a Rokkit launcha, as well as a Mega Armoured Ork driver all courtesy of ten minutes on the credit card from Games Workshop. Ironic when you consider this is Airfix's answer to the GW Empire... I'll keep you posted - possibly with pics on my website (when I get time for an update that is )

Good shout Richard - I got my T Rex on Ebay - what's your handle... Ebay is still the place to get then ATM, as none of the local shops in Bristol seems to even have heard of them as yet...

Well he can do a few more I reckon :-) Just don't let him get your credit card and go on line to the Games Workshop website - you can Orky up a Robogear very easily from the spare parts catalogue...
