I'd suggest some of the GZG Dirtside Walkers. They are about 7-10mm high
and are basically Patlabour-style walkers.

Armour Save of only 5+? I'd have thought they would be tougher than
this. I haven't seen the Codex yet (it hasn't gotten to Australia yet) but
I would have thought they would be just a little tougher than that.

Again, I suggest the GZG Dirtside Infantry Walkers.

Please do! Don't send the pictures to the list, but try and post a URL
where we can see them. I know most of the GZG minis and would love to see
a pic of the one you are suggesting.

Aren't there two versions of the Hammerhead? One with the Ion Cannon and
one with a Railgun? I remember seeing the minis and thinking "Wow, these
look very cool".
