A few HUNDRED of these? That's really a *ton* of miniatures, heehee...

Geez... A while back I bought a bunch of the old GHQ/RAFM microarmor that
were for sale at $2.25 (Canadian, no less) for five tanks and $1.25 for
five APC/MICVs. Those were great! Too bad the newer blisters are all for
$12.00 (Canadian) for five minis now.

Well, some of the bigger microarmor stuff *might* be okay for Epic. I
have a bunch of German Raketen Panzers (they look like big APCs) that I
plan on using as IG Chimera variants. They look *sort* of alike. Not
having any IG infantry, I simply cut the dunce caps off the Eldar
Guardians and paint them in IG colors.
